Just promoted as well but I haven't really had the time (or enthusiasm) to make a huge comparison with other teams. The league average net income is -27,000 though and mine is 63,000 (haven't had a home game though so it might be different a bit). I think by that standard alone I should be fine. I was really able to capitalize on playoffs time and get some good centers, that, while they couldn't play in playoffs, at least I have them now and I got them for much cheaper.
My player salary is 71K while the league average is 88K. Normally, this would intimidate me, but judging by the team I just played who had one 76K player and the rest of his team was less than 10K players, I'm not too scared.
(edit: I'm not sure if the league averages updated tbh for this season, so my stats might apply to the league I'm in just for last season. either way, my arena is one of the largest in the league.)
On to my first game:
(26253317)It was an amazing game. With 22 seconds left on the clock, I'm up by 3, they take a 3 pointer and miss. I get really happy but they snatch the Offensive Rebound and take another, long, 3 pointer and somehow score it. Tie game: the shot clock is turned off. I make a layup with 0:00 on the clock. It was awesome.
This team has one beast of a PG and some OK side-kicks. I think I really took advantage of their horrible PD and I was debating at the time whether I should go RnG or Motion, but I think I made the right decision with motion. As can be seen, my PG wasn't able to successfully guard their beast of a PG, but I think in the end balance won out.
Am I the only one that thinks I should've won by more? I mean, sure, they had HCA, but even so, I feel like my team (purely going by the matchup ratings) really had their team under control. IDK.
Anyways, DIV is awesome in my opinion. Good competition and I think it really takes the pressure off of "needing to win the league" so I can really just concentrate on what's best for my team.
