that's fine. what's good to you is good to you!

it's just so annoying to sign my first guy in 3 seasons, & have some super serious game guy -- not even 50 min later -- jump all over it. quoting some irrelevant portion of an old post he never bothered to reply to in the first place. & basically trying to call me a liar. (in essence... -_- )

BTW, i've done the huge imbalance thing in a different game (long ago)... and it really sucked. wasn't fun at all. (it was honestly surprising how not-fun winning by a landslide could be to me)

Dude, I'm just poking fun at your cracks about me getting that 200k guard and then at that little back and forth you had with LMA. I could've picked other lines from that, but I just grabbed one of them. Wasn't to be taken too seriously. Was hoping the 'soup kitchen' remark would convey that.

(& you really do take this game far too seriously)

Recently? Damn straight. I'm bored as shit and this is the only game I've played for over a month. The NFL season hasn't started, and training camps don't even start for another week. Gotta get my OCD stats fix and breaking news from somewhere. At least here in BB there's actual breaking news, while in the NFL world nothing can possibly happen anytime soon.

So while browsing i happened to see a 22 year old, 7'5" MVP center for around $500k.

Definitely high value. He'll most likely be playing way above is weekly salary, assuming he's been getting trained this season.

Like how do you know if i kept him i wouldn't just do something like single position train him in JR? just to see how slow a 7'5" guy trains in it.

He better train it slow. Would be unfair otherwise. Bigs with JR are one of the few X-factors in the game. I mean, check out this match. 5 made 3pters, and they're all from the PF or C spot. (46052888)

Here's something on a grander scale. National Team match. #1 team in the World, Poland, often uses a PF who shoots 3's. (11032136) I know he's only in D2, but he's hitting 3's at a 35% clip in league play.

After my current team needs an overhaul, I've thought about switching everything up to something truly funky, like a team that actually wants to take 3's.

Pfft my PF made the 3pt contest and look where it got me. SIXTH PLACE

Well I mean, you're in 6th place by 21 PD, and you got put in a hole early because you needed to overhaul your roster. If you had your current roster for the entire season, and didn't tank 4 games (2 of which were while overhauling), your PD would be about 250-300 higher. So...yeah, that's kinda unlucky. Take those 2 out and you're in 5th place by 100 PD.

alright, just your serious & aggressive looking avatar makes everything you write seem serious & aggressive to me. don't gore me then foreclose on my home bro.

there was a great 3pt shooting PF in my old DII league. Think the guy shot like 42% one season! He had somewhere between SF & SG shooting skills. With a 7'5" guy... yeah it would be glacial speed training wise. His best shot at hitting 3s would be training JS instead probably.

i still don't get how the new C i signed is ranked #21 in Rating (World) with his salary/skills. he has 1 skill i *really* like. but many of the rest are meh to alarmingly bad. (his 2nd highest skill is only marvelous (15)). should be able to unload him eventually due to his age at least. to be honest... i'm super tempted to see how he'd fit in with my team playing purely center. maybe i'll turn completely heel & do an extended test after all!

try the LPGA!

Why not? I mean, otherwise it'd be too small of a sample size and all that stuff.

Hmm, maybe finding a good center trainee with a rare 7 starting JR is enough. And then he'd eventually wind up with 9 or so? I feel like most bigs top out at 4 or 5 OD. It's not often you see one with even just 6. Just judging from my time in D4 and D3 with outside offenses. I think I had 9 or 10 JR on my guards, facing against other guards with decent OD, and I was hitting >30% of them.

the guy was only about 6'9" or 6'10". so the JR was more doable probably. I don't see why you couldn't hit 15 JS & 10 JR. As the JS should be a lot easier/quicker to train. i once had a 6'2" center that put up to a 11-12.5 ratings & he had a couple 10s in center skills. plus PG type handling. he could have really been something, if i focused training around him.


hmm, okay. i guess i'll roll with him til the end of the season.
and if he's being counted as their NT future or something... i'll unload him in the off-season if there's a buyer.

I think 6'10 is the perfect height for this type of thing. According to the training calculators, 6'10 is the cutoff for decent pops in big man skills. 6'9 supposedly has a noticeable drop off. I've trained a 6'7 guy in big man skills, and it's definitely slow. 6'2 must have taken ages to get those 10's.

But I imagine 15 JS and 10 JR would make him an utter beast at PF or C for 3's.

Final 8 of the Cup is nearing. We're looking at one lucky bastard getting the lone D2 team remaining in the Cup. This is the first season in USA BB history with such an unfortunate chance at Cup draws for the Final 8.

Hey, maybe a D.II team can pull an upset... also, I'm picking Coco. Sorry Shikago but your social-security-check bribes won't be swinging this one!

The only real candidate for that is Kiwi Sheep Pimps over Boom. Boom has HCA, but likely worse enthusiasm. Kiwi tanked a league game to throw everything at Boom. That said, Kiwi looks like a mediocre to weak D2 team from the few box scores I checked.
