Pfft, i am far from the favourite to go up...i have an immensely one dimensional team, so anyone doing the slightest bit of homework can ascertain exactly what is needed to beat me. Whereas, your team apparently seem to play quite a few strategies quite well, so you can easily mix it up where needed. I literally have to rely on my teams ridiculous good offense at the PG/SG/SF positions and hope my big guys decide to actually play, which believe me, can be quite a rarity at times.
Oh, and League II wont be more profitable...your fans will basically abandon you the second your start losing, as BB fans are very fickle, and i can say with a fairly high degree of certainty that any of us would get utterly molested in League II. You may manage to not finish last as there will be other lucky League III teams that promote, and you may even manage to maintain in II, but you will lose more than you will win for sure, and it will kill your attendance and merchandise, which is pretty much where all your profit comes from, and the TV contract wont make up for the difference.
Also, you wont gain more training from being in League II...unless you are referencing buying a more expensive trainer...? But really you should have an Advanced trainer right now, and nothing more than that in the future...you only need a Superior or above trainer if you have a young star on your team or even a possible NT player.
I cant say i am too fussed for Home Court, just because its never made that much difference to me before now.
Enthusiasm doesnt just sit at 11 for the playoffs, you know that, right? Unless you are inferring that you have already reached 11, or will by the start of the playoffs, which i find impossible to imagine since you definitely CT'ed the game with me which would have taken a crap all over your enthusiasm.
My enthusiasm is only at 7, and i have used TIE in a few games already.
My team is very inexperienced too, as can be evidenced by our horrendous foul trouble in most games and even poor shot selection at times, but i wouldnt worry too much about...the talent easily overcomes the small niggles caused by lack of experience, and i cant imagine Bradley or Zizzi are packing in tons of experience.
Finally, yes, Zizzi is good...their record demonstrates that, but my point is more that i am pretty sure that if i run my team at full strength, despite us only being able to do one thing, i am confident i can beat Zizzi. However, running full strength, i am still pretty sure i cant beat yourself. Dont let my deep cup run fool you - i preyed heavily on the superior teams running backups and expecting me to roll over, but you will now doubt go full steam against me, and i assure you, you have a superior team to my own.
