Ranking in BB matter, but its unimportant to comparing the best teams from the best.

Yeah I agree with everything you are saying, but again it really is not what I was talking about. I was just saying the disparity is too great in this league...For instance your team has 5 more seasons than mine, but you do have a good team and really nice arena. Whereas the team that is undefeated in our league has a pathetic arena and has fully 12 more seasons than my team.. Look I like my team, this is not my first go round, I know how to train them and build my areana, I have plenty of dough and I just picked up a FA that will help me be more competitive. It seems that people think I am whining because I am not winning, that is not it, I dont expect to win right after being promoted, My main contention is that a team that is in their 3rd season like mine, and ranked 1005 at the start of the season has no real chance in a league where most of the teams have been around for over 6 or more seasons and ranked from 500 to 209....Now understand I am not complaining about losing but I have seen where BB complains that Americans quit the game when they cant promote and my contention is that if they made the divisions more competitive they would perhaps get people to stick with it. I will stick with it anyway, because I think this game is pretty awesome, I was just trying to offer an opinion about what might make the game more interesting to people....But I really like this league personally I enjoy playing against managers that are active and do a good job, and yall are almost all in that category. Do I wish it was more competitive, yes I do....I wont quit, but what I am saying is that is why a lot of players do....anyway thanks for the feedback.

For the record, I never thought you were whining or complaining about losses-- I think you have valid points. I wasn't aware of your prior BB experience, so I was just trying to offer some sound advice. In ragards to the undefeated team, if his arena size is lacking, he will get destroyed in DIII. You can't last when your opponents are making 100-200k more than you.

Also, the good thing about BB is that for up-and-coming managers can focus on developing prospects and their goals can be to get their prospect on the U21 team, or perhaps the national team, rather than promoting. Or they can focus on doing well in the tournament. Success comes in different ways while playing BB. Promotion will come with time invested; however, there are short-term goals that can be easily had.

I rememeber when I was new, I knocked out a DII team out of the tourney (I believe I was D4 at the time) and I got a lot of enjoyment out of his anguish. I was reading his league forum and he was ranting about the loss.

Well just to clarify, I really appreciate your responses and I have picked up some good tips. My previous team never got about D IV....before I got kicked because I was letting my nephew use my computer to play and they thought I was running two teams...It was a bad deal. But this time I am excited. Thanks again for the responses and the tips.

And yeah, take a look at 242 Lions arena, it is tiny. and none of his players are Americans...I dont get how he has been around for so long and never built his arena, but I digress...lol His team whipped mine like a drum...lol

Also, I really like your team....

Hey Shilling made the AllStar team in this monster league....wow...i am honored...

Seems like the Lions so your comment and expanded their arena.

lol....well they oughta...i cant see how he is paying for that squad.

awful quiet

We're doing quite fine financially actually, and I always look for younger better players at a cheap rate
