gonna have to stop setting backups i think so garbage time doesnt keep killing me!

gonna have to stop setting backups i think so garbage time doesnt keep killing me!

Me too. Played the third best team in the league recently. He put more into game and had HCA and I led by 21 at final change and bench came on. I won by 12.

How would you guys manage to consistently play 40-48 minutes per game then?
Since it would affect training and game shape, because only playing your starters would give them full minutes as well.

How would that work?

i would fit the minutes into 2 games per week, and then set scrubs for the scrimmage...

or if 1 pos training....

Player A plays full 48 mins at PG in game 1
Player B has a substitute and plays around 25-30 at SG

then

Player A comes off th bench for about 20 mines in game 2 at SG
Player B starts at PG in game 2 for the full 48 mins

That should give somewhere between the 60-75 mins per week mark, and means always have 1 goof player on the court. Then the substitute could start in the scrimmage to get his mins above 48 for the week, so 3 players trained

the scrimmage is for scrubs, no need to play started in that game unless they fouled out in league game and didnt get training 48 mins :D

i fairly much agree

1 have 3 traineed wang, willy & zaki (scrubby)

so g1 wang plays 48+ in training pos usually PG & willy is backup SF while zaki is back home cutting organges

g2 willy is PG for 48+ while wang is backup SF & zaki is still cutting oranges

scrim zaki plays 48+ @ PG

@ training update time all 3 have full training minutes (48+), willy & wang have perfect minutes for game shape & zaki doesnt but i dont care about his game shape cause hs isnt doing anything important anyway

Yu fuhao is injured for 2 weeks

Looks like we'll have Willy starting PG until Costello gets some good Game Shape.

lol my bad :( i forgot to take him off the line up so the coach put him in in garbage time :( however he pop his passing :)

With Mark Runciman unplayable due to game shape we are suddenly in a very bad situation for guards. Will all of Australia be depending on a Willy? Is there another great 21 year old out there in top game shape that we can call up to at least backup?

no change here.

I'm mad that none of my players even made the top 4 of their position in all-star voting *angryface.jpg*

Then again, I suppose all of my players have been mediocre at best this season and the only reason my team is 5-8 in the first place is a combination of some luck and choosing when to play hard wisely...

Interview with Microlol - Flow Gaming 11-2 (III.5)

1. Which state do you live in?

NSW, I live in the Sydney (the only city that matters in Australia)!

2. You took a long time to promote out of III.1 and have been around the game for numerous seasons now. What do you perceive to be the best way to succeed in this game?

I definitely took a long time to promote out of III.1 due to strong teams from D2 demoting to my old league, then proceeding to sweep the season. I was also pitted up against another saavy manager (The Supreme Team, who promoted a season before me) who was about a season's worth of progress ahead of me, hence I wasn't able to promote out of III.1 until the season after he did. Also, when I promoted to III.1, I was not the weakest team nor the strongest team. I think that's the worst place to be, as you don't win enough to fill up your arena consistently (at a good ticket price), and you don't get a good draft pick at all. It takes many seasons to save up for a significant arena upgrade. I found that the most stable and healthy way to promote is to buy a top notch trainer (also expensive) and either draft or buy a high quality trainee. This is what I did and it's paid off for me.

3. Which division do you think is stronger, III.1 when you promoted or your current III.5 division?

I think the current division I am in is much stronger than the one I promoted out of, as I easily swept the my championship season in III.1. III.5 has another quality team (Home Axis), I think the playoff finals between him and I will be very exciting and competitive. However, with that said, it's been two seasons and teams on average in every league have been improving at a rapid rate, I'm not sure as to how strong III.1 is now, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

4. Do you think your team will have what it takes to win the title this season? Why or why not?

I think I definitely have the strongest and most well-rounded starting 5 in my division, bar injuries and game-shape mismanagement, I should be able to take the title this season and return to division 2. .

5. Who do you think your biggest challengers are for the III.5 title?

Home Axis is a team I have massive respect for, if I have any injuries or my players' game shapes aren't optimal, he should beat me, as the way the season is going, I believe he will have home court advantage over me in the finals. His starting 5 is not strong as mine, but he has a very strong bench and also a well-rounded team in general. If I don't pull ahead int he first three quarters, it will not look good for my team.


6. Is there any team in Australian BB who you have a long-standing rivalry with and why?

The Supreme team! My numerous seasons in III.1, both of us have been first and second respectively in the race for promotion (if we ignore the multiple teams throughout the seasons who have demoted from d2 that tank and go on to sweep d3), he is a good bloke and a smart manager, very similar to my management style, focusing on team infrastructure and future instead of one and done seasons.
