My second season in IV... I think I can win the league. I'll be selling one of my younger trainees later in the season and I will buy a 30k or so big guy. I will hopefully be able to promote unless I get unlucky.

And my guards will all be much better by the end of the season, which will help (even though Haitze is already real good :)

You both have pretty good rosters and should both make it into playoffs at the least and stand a good chance of promoting. Just train well and manage that gameshape =D

How'd everyone do in their first game, felt fairly good about my teams performance against a decent team, ratings were a bit disappointing though. And wow does demoting do a number on attendance.

Aggh, a loss already in a young season:(

Kind of peeves me off, how does my SG go 3-17 with a 5.5 rating?

edit: played him at SF...

Back on track now, toughest game of the season up next, can't afford any more losses this season.

Have to disagree with this. They crunched me tonight, and I beat them with a Tie. #1, they aren't the best team in the league...#2, you get them fresh off their enthusiasm being cut in half. You will win easy.

Just for the season so far was what I meant, don't worry I'm more concerned with later matchups of course;)

2-1 so far, my team is looking pretty good. Except my best player isn't producing as much as last year, and what I think he should....if he picks up it'll hopefully help even more.

Take a look at Season 14, and then at season 13

It seems he took a step backwards stats wise even though I knew he got better. I didn't complain as my team did better season 14 so as long as your winning don't worry about it. He'll have his great games and his so-so ones.

Haha I knew before I clicked on the link that it was Gardner

D.IV.13 after 4 games

Big 8
-Despite not logging in for over a month the Buffalo Cobras find themselves on top of the standings with their default roster, unfortunately they will be gone fairly soon and a new manager will find themselves in playoff position. ESSEX and Sikers also appear to be on the way out.
-Arizona Roadrunners have also impressed me in the season to date.
-STARBURYS has had a rough start, including a very close loss to Arizona.
-McArthurs has disappointed so far, wasting enthusiasm in a CT vs. Arizona that failed to get the W.

Great 8
-Much more active than the Big 8, only team that hasn't logged in in the last week is the Knicks.
-Seachickens have looked good so far, but may have caught a break in their game vs. WWE, as the ratings pointed to a closer game, and maybe a WWE win.
-Arlington has 3 close wins paired with their blowout loss to Seachickens.

Power Rankings
1st Tier
1. Seachickens- get the tiebreaker for being undefeated, will their defense be able to hang with the B8?
2. Droids- have gotten off to a decent start against a decent schedule while building enthusiasm.
3. Arizona Roadrunners- excellent enthusiasm management to get off to a good start.
2nd Tier
4. Buffalo Cobras- I guess he still could log in again? May be surprised at where he finds himself.
5. The Arlington Allstars- Rolled against the easy part of the schedule, but got hammered by Seachickens.
6. Team WWE- A perennial power they had to eat a tough loss to Seachickens, have been putting up crazy outside numbers.
7. Ohio Suns- Have taken advantage of an easy start to the season to find themselves in 2nd in the Great 8.
8. STARBURYS- Won the games they should, but lost against both Droids and Arizona convincingly.
3rd Tier
Everyone else, some like McArthurs, Frito, and Puerco have the potential to move up easily enough.
