Hello all!

Thank you for contributing to a great forum. I've been busy for a while and came back to see many recent discussions. I am happy to see the competitiveness in G8 conference and definitely the managers of the top 6 teams in G8 are doing very well in improving their teams.

At beginning of the season I had a feeling Shibuya will go bot and now it has come true. This season's championship could belong to any playoff contending team. At the end of the day, the person with home court will have a bigger chance at winning. If Otaku can be flawless on the way back, he will definitely has a bigger chance of winning in the play off final than I do. Good luck to everyone.

Sheesh...
My fanbase is difficult to satisfy! Had my first ever overall 5-ball rating after my last away game win, then I win by 83 points at home, in a TV game... and it drops to 4.5!
Go figure!

O!
Sapporo just raised the bar!

Hello to all who have spoken.

I think you are right. There are the big 4, the little 3 and the rest. One of the rest could easily be sitting on a fortune having saved for seasons and with millions in the bank but I don't know how I could really know that without spending a long time looking at their history. I do think that teams like Terry Bogard will be very dangerous one day. But here is a little snapshot of our league history.

So teams like Shikoku Otaku and Sapporo Fighters are just one season up on Northern Kyushu Raman Kings and me. Once we build our arena our trainees come of age and we are ready to make a hard push I think we will narrow the game very rapidly. However maybe for the noodles it will be next season for me it will be at the soonest season 18. By then with luck Daisaku will be a $40,000 dominator and Noritada will not be far behind. I will still have Kurogane so will have 3 starters in place and be ready to add two big expensive imports to make a run at the JBBL. Long plan but my 3 key players are aged 26, 20 and 19 so there is no hurry.

This season just expect every 10 days to see another 1,000 seats added to Nijo Castle and hopefully a win over the Ramen Kings so we can take our place in 3rd spot.

Sheesh man, painting me as "the same as you" is a stretch. Sure, I came here in S14, but only for the last game of the season (which, by the way, was a beat down administered by YOU!) - and I picked up easily the worst team in II.1!
I regard this as being my 'second season'.

I love that we have a good rivalry happening! It's going to take more than a win over me - I'm now two games ahead of you (tho' Fumoffu's coming up!)!

Well... that sucked.
I expected to do a lil' better than that. I thought my bigs would have been clearer winners, and your guards would win the day overall.

Good game malice. I was expecting a closer game but the effect of home court altered the game result.

Sorry to disappoint!

Truth: I was expecting closer too. Have to go back to the drawing board!

It's difficult... my natural inclination is to want to compete NOW. Especially when I see teams making acquisitions that improve their rosters considerably.
But the reality is that I'm not ready - I think I'm still a season or two away from being a legitimate contender. It's so tough to stay away from higher-salary guys, and take the mid-level guys who'll simply keep my team ticking. But I'm trying!

This is just a game so you do what you enjoy most!
