Well I'm doing the usual all star break roster shuffling, so I'm going to sell a few guys. I'm not going to lie, it's also an experiment in extremes. I already had an efficient offense, and I'm wondering how much better o-flow would help it. It obviously won't hurt. But when you're already scoring at a high rate, would increasing the o-flow for an extra 200k a week just not be worth it if there are big diminishing returns?

scary enough to avoid relegation, id love that 5 spot but its a longshot. kinda hard to win playing a 200k center at PG for 1 game and backup in another

When we return to conference play, the Great 8 should be pretty damned interesting with teams trying to improve positioning. They're all so close and they have no idea what to expect from any of the Big 8 relegation representatives.

This is the fun part of being in the NBBA, especially since I'm not involved. I get to sit back and hope some juicy subplot unfolds.

I really fluffed up my strategy for this season. I was going to go for it like every other season, and therefore finish strongly in 6th (maybe 4th! woo!) but i knew my team was never going to compete with its structure. Was thinking i'd gradually fade the useless players out but...

I thought i could be cheeky when i saw all those Big 8 tankers and tried to sell off my team, only not to commit to it well enough (still stuck with Owens) and then realize that there was one less team tanking than i thought. This has led to me making 0 extra cash whilst costing me my NBBA spot (well, 80% chance). I'm not really bothered as I've been super bored anyway, but getting relegated anyway, I really wish I'd tanked from game 1! Maybe saved a few extra million. lol

Rant over. :D

Oh, almost forgot my desperate attempt to beat BM and CTB this week to give myself more time to re-jig. That was a flop! lol

Yeah, there's a fine line with the tanking madness, and the process of figuring out where that line is would give me a headache.

I see Owens has a bid, so you're committed now I guess.

yeah, the loss to BM forced my hand, might still try and put together a team for the RL POs but it's unlikely. :)

Hey wozz! (46052923)
The matchup predictor says I would expect to win by 3 on equal effort, not lose by 15 with more effort. Please fix this obvious bug!

Did you forget to twiddle the oracle knob? That'll be the reason.

I feel like the sim did some funky stuff. I was at Home, and I had an effort edge, yet Walker Wiggles way outperformed his PP100.

200k in salary results in just 2 assists...yay. Well at least I only had 5 total turnovers...I'll somehow give the credit to the new guy so hindsight doesn't get the better of me.

Razor thin game against a gutted team. You have no idea how much I wanted to see you lose (no offense), because it would have been hysterical.
