i wish the draft pool has higher skill levels than RESPECTABLE
i mean, u gotta have someone who can come in and score a few buckets for u if he's the #1 pick
it gotta be reflective of the level you are playing at ...

it takes about 2-3 years of ACTUAL time to make a 18 yr old playing a major role on a team at this level
i would have no problem if your entire team improves that much, but it's limited to 3 players 1 position training ..... to get a effective player to that level.

I guess i don't mind paying the weekly staff raises as much as I detest the time consuming shopping for one and having to pay such high signing bonus money. Maybe by making more of them available it would take less time to shop for one and the competition for one would be less, driving down signing bonus prices.


I can agree with that. There is nothing about shopping for staff that I find fun.

Yes my league is spending too much. Tell them to cut it out will ya?


I could, but I think they would take it better coming from Joey Gladstone

I have never understood why games like this refuse or are too lazy to implement "ebay"-style bidding. You put in how much you're willing to pay, the system auto-bids for you up to that amount. No more staying up to 4am because some east coaster on his way to work listed the only 7' HoF 18yo American on the market... no more checking the staff list every couple hours while I try to replace my guy.

Reserve prices probably wouldn't be good though.

I still find it hilarious that he's the guy this song was written about:

The draft really should have more of a mix. What would make it better is having older players available as well - like a couple of 20-25k mostly capped 23 year olds with decent skill sets, some 19-21 year old guys who are partially trained (maybe 10k level?) and have some potential left, but who are behind where an 18 year old might be, and replace the majority of starter and below potential players with that.

random movie is The Night of the Hunter, a movie about as creepy as the Nick Cave song. not too many movies where evil guys go after kids, sort of the last taboo in movies.

For once, the injury in your playoff game that sticks is to your opponent, not to you. Meanwhile, it looks like whoever wins my game tonight comes out healthy - still the underdog, whichever one of it is, but it might make for a good series.

My new guard w/ marvelous FT & strong stamina missed both his FTs in the 1st quarter. He's only made 2 of his 8 FT attempts for my team.

Just wanted to publicly shame him, that's all.

That just means he's going to hit a metric asston of FTs later and so he's pre-booking his misses so his percentage is accurate. Sadly, while I intended that to not be serious, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to find out that's how it works.

It was probably before you had a team, but I had a guy w/ awful FT shoot about 70% on near 100 attempts. And a guy with tremendous FT shoot only 60-something % for a season. (though his sample size was much smaller... around 30 attempts maybe.)

+1 Thanks for the info! will definitely make a note of it & check it out sometime. Films are one area I'm somewhat ignorant in. (even more so post y2k)

glanced at an ebert review & saw the imdb rating... impressive. So it's on the level of something like Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, or Vertigo?
