You're probably going to promote this year. Do you think your team is more prepared or was your Div IV league just really talented? I figure I'll have a decent chance to promote next year or, if not, the year after. I'd love to do so this year but your team and Electrofites are both stronger at this point.

I wish there were pigmen. You get a few of these pigmen walking around I'm looking a whole lot better. Then if somebody wants to fix me up at least they could say, Hey he's no pig-man!

My team is definitley way more prepared! My centers were really weak so I picked up some good draft picks when I demoted. The competition in the Div IV league i was in was intense. In IV.21 the very worst team is about equal in rank with mine. I feel like it takes some serious time in order to build a competitive team.

Dude, have you had Patricio Gerzon this whole season or did you pick him up recently?

I picked him up recently for a relatively cheap price (about 200K). I noticed that the better teams in this league were much stronger than me inside. I have pretty solid arena revenue so I can afford his salary for now.

One thing that better owners have told me is that when you get into a more competitive league you need one or two really good players, like patricio, instead of a more well rounded team like mine

Thanks for the advice. I do hope he can help me at a higher level but he's already 28 so assuming I promote next year or the year after he'll be able to help me for a year or two before his skills start to decline. I do single position guard training so I plan to get 2 guards up to a pretty high level by the end of next year. At that point I'll have a solid guard tandem or a PG/SF tandem along with Gerzon and some role players. It's kind of tough that I'll likely just be a solid Div 5 team for a few years but hopefully when I do promote my team will be ready to compete in Div IV.

It sounds like you have a solid plan. Don't get discouraged, this game is growing like wildfire! With the influx of players and money coming in we should start seeing some really cool features, maybe even a REAL game broadcast!

I'd like to say it was a revenge game but the Taco Eaters sold half their team in the last month and only played 4 guys. They had some invisible guy getting minutes and my team was just looking for a win. The real test will be the next five games when we play Orange Crush, your team, the upcoming Quizmochos, and Electrofites (with whom my team has a rivalry). Then, of course, there's the playoffs. You had a nice win too and an important close victory on Saturday against Electrofites. I'd be happy to repeat at 17-5 but I'm on pace to set out league's record for best defensive season of all time.

I wanted to see if it would work against his team with his new additions. It clearly didn't. My team is really good against weak teams but has a long way to go against stronger competition. I do need to switch up tactics now and then!
