"BB is designed as a long-run game, and it has neither the intention nor the means to provide instant gratification."

My main concern is how a season 10 new owner can actually ever catch up to a season one or season two owner? I am not talking one or even two seasons I am talking five or six seasons down the road. Thanks to the pryramid system there will always be some movement from league to league. But the BB system works kind of like continous race with new teams entering every day, but those who started early will nearly always be ahead.

I am not trying to whine here, rather address a larger long-term philosophical issue of the game. I am just hoping there is some background discussions going on to make sure there isn't too much distance from the veterans and newbies that the newbies have little to no chance of ever catching up.

Agreed. We are already seeing players so expensive that no team could afford more than one or two of them and still field a decent roster. I think quite a few teams are nearly as good as they are ever going to get. Especially since there is a limit to how many people you can get into an arena to watch games.

Good post. Thank you.

As I pointed out I think in a previous post. I would love to see the draft develop into more of one of those sub-challenges to a greater degree.

I am a season 6 owner where most other active teams in my starting range are in div. 3 or div. 4. So the top for me is very far off but not unreachable. But a season 10 starter will have to be incredibly good to even reach div.3 in three or four seasons. Make that five or six seasons for a season 15 starter.

I like your Lakers analogy, except while that neighborhood team has improved in free throws and added the best player from the local gym. The Lakers have added Chris Paul and Lebron James!

Alright.

I guess being in the middle it is hard for me to see what is happening at the very top, but knowledgeable enough about the bottom, too wonder what they are thinking.

Just wondering what the arena crowd top-off seem to be?

for VIP places little more then 100(or 40.000k per game), last season one league mate of me, sell i believe 102 places with minimum price and they are nearly succes independent.

But the knowlegde about that isn't very important, becuase the upcoming changes.

Ok. I guess you are referring to the TV vs. Arena changes. Thanks.
