Hey Heath, it's nice to see you in this forum... our forum is getting pretty dry. I pretty much agree with Joel's statement when you get into a new division (survive, build, promote). Seems like you skipped survive cuzz you're a likely contender in the playoffs.
A lot of people say there is no real wrong way to play the game, they are either going for the cup or training players for the NT. Right now I'm trying to make one of the worst players in... apparently New Zealand, check out Utray:
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/10191211/overview.aspx)Anyways to keep this game competitive, it should be in the interest of everyone to try and promote to the NBBA. If your going for the cup, yea you'll collect revenue to rebuild. If you are training a player to get into the NT team (like what I'm doing), he will help your team on the long run. I think Ugona is my key to the NBBA. I can also sell him, bank a bunch of money, and try and promote that way (but I think I'm better off keeping him).
Unless you're on a peewee baseball team, if you're not planning on promoting... what is the point of playing? I'm not accusing anyone of doing anything illegal, but from a logical standpoint, if a person is sacrificing all resources to train a particular player... they must have multiple accounts, cuzz where is the fun in that?
