Not sure if any1 will even read this, seems like every1 is too angry to be concerned with what other teams are doing heh. Gotta take my hat off to Goombas, you are doing great but my comment is how you manage to make money in this game. It's unbelievable, you buy assets and turn them into greater assets in short amounts of time. Normally I wouldn't say anything but I just noticed you sold a 20 year old player, barely touched player (granted he had HoF potential, but it was too late in his career to make a huge difference) for an insane amount of money. It's very impressive.

Well, I read this forum regularly and I try to contribute as I can. Thank you for the compliment - but that 20 yr old player was trained for over one season, getting pops every week - his salary shot up this season and I just ran him up the flagpole to see if anybody wanted him, it just so happened that someone did - I would have been happy to keep him. As for the anger - I kinda noticed that - I suppose the competition does that to people, they either adapt and dig down to compete or quit. I also see that you are using the same tactics as last season where you lay low then just come in to make the playoffs and try to grab a decent draft pick - By the way how did your draft go?? Mine was crappy, I jettisoned the wastage. Good luck the rest of the season - Sorry I went normal against you last game, but I can't help myself when I go against your team - too good not to respect.
Regards

No worries, i kinda have a lot of free time now, college is out heh. But anyway I was just saying it would be difficult to sell a 20 year old player that hasn't been trained all that much no matter what the potential is for that much money. It's tougher to sell players in their late 20s that have salaries over 20,000 for a good sum of money. So I was just saying good job with that. I'm not sure what to do with my season anymore, kinda lost on what to do. I figure I'm not getting anywhere selecting good players and adding them to my roster, barely able to keep my economy going, while not making major improvements to my team in anyway. Do I keep trying until I'm lucky enough to promote or do I blow up my team without wasting anymore time...Gonna have to make a decision before the end of this season. Anyhow didn't really get any1 good in the draft, a decent pg with star potential, might make the u21 team possibly. Good luck to you as well with your season and I'm glad you did go normal against me, i don't want you to ruin your season as well. Thanks for the compliment.

Wow i shouldve checked the forum more often , and yeah ramc i noticed how you sold some players and bought different players but now i know to watch out for different threats i guess. Its also good to know im not they only one having a hard time with my economy , 117k$ from just one player is actually realllyyy demanding. Good luck to you ramc and you too Goombas ( im too lazy to check your username). Im not one for paragraphs either.

Yes, you are right when it comes to selling that 20 yr old - I personally would not have spent anywhere close to that kind of money for his level of training. Well as to what you should do with your team - I believe it is all a matter of what do you want your team to be? Do you want to take the long road via the draft or do you want to buy a bunch of old guys for a quick sprint up that ladder? It comes down to your personal philosophy and what character do you want your team to have. I mean do want to go the route of the Hurricane's with one big guy or would you prefer a well rounded team. There is no real right or wrong answer - that what makes this site so interesting. All I can say is don't give up - rather let the blood of competition boil inside of you and be proactive - kick ass. Get a plan, stick with it don't let defeat get you down. By the way I don't mean to preach its that I'd hate to see you quit, seeing that you have a good team - it just sucks that we are all stuck in the same conference trying to outdo each other. Hang in there see you on the virtual hard court. :)

Good luck to you too - and yes when you get a bunch of competitive guys in the same conference the economy of those teams tend to suffer in trying to outdo each other.

Thanks for the advice. And believe me I don't plan to quit, I really love this game. I'm just trying to decide what to do to benefit my team the best. I'll just sit back for now and see what happens.

I am intrigued you are obviously up to something. You have been selling big time. I do not expect you to tell me but eventually we will all see. By the way what is up with the eagles they just seemed to give up. Maybe they want to be relegated just so they could be promoted to another div III league? What do you think?

Well we are in a very strange league, as i've said countless times. We are unfortunately very stacked on one side and the other is allowed to take it easy and prepare for the playoffs to the best of their abilities. This leaves teams in our conference in a tough situation as only one team can make it to the finals and even then has to fight a rested team from the other conference to promote. Many of the teams in our league fight for that privilege which is why it is so competitive. But at some point we need to realize that if things stay the way they are now, season after season the best player from the other conference will beat out whichever of us makes it to the finals. So we are stuck in a never-ending loop of destruction, tearing each other apart and letting the other team's best to reap the rewards. So right now I'm at that point, I've decided that I need to do sacrifice success now, to maximize my potential for future success. I'm also pretty sure that the eagles have also come to this revelation. This way we can allow our conference to benefit and hopefully benefit us in the future. Not saying I want to be relegated, more than anything I want to promote by beating the best. So now it's just a waiting game. Only time will tell...

hey guys - after 13 games - we are now in the stretch run part of the schedule - I'd like to know your thoughts about this past season. Personally, I am surprised that the Allstars and the Eagles are tanking it, I thought they would grind it out more, like they did in season 15, they are better than their record. Westsiders are undefeated, and apparently, it seems, would like to be promoted in a desperate way, it's almost like he doesn't like us here in Div 111. personally I am almost offended. I'll see what I can do to keep him here - if we meet in the playoffs.
Regards

Such a shame we lost the all-star game, seemed like our side has more going for it but it happens. Westsiders have a strong team and were demoted from league 2 last season so it makes sense that they have a strong chance to make it back up there. I say strong chance because either you or hurricane's have that same chance this season. I get what eagles has been doing, make sense to me, I'm doing something similar, won't really start until the beginning of next season but I don't get why liberia allstars has been doing so bad, has kept most of the roster the same, should have a much better record. Can't really say this has been a great season, up till now, because it is a transition one for me, I'm just counting the days till the draft so I can put this plan into motion.
