still need more managers lor

i tried promoting BB to my schoolmates....i didnt know whether tey joined or not....
but i think the problems is that the new managers tend to be be interested in BB for some weeks only cuz they probably lose their matches and as we all know.... almost all malaysian juz cant handle losing(especially malays....including me)...furthermore basketball is not a very popular sports to malays(mostly like football)....i see majority of basketball guyz in malaysia are chinese.....followed by indians...
losing many matches will cause them to either stop BB or creating a new team(violating the rulez - get banned)
last week i saw an amazing increase in managers.... from 110 to 127....then a few days later.....the numbers dropped to 117..
will malaysia have managers more than 200???
this post is not meant to offend any races.... no hard feeling to all Malaysians...

Terfu:
lol
maybe can put about 100 flers at akira n apollo...

am i the only Punjabi guy around in BB malaysia??

hehe

n dont worry guys..am here to stay...wont be going any where till i win MBBA

cool... lets plot to take over div II.2 first then ; )

-_-
i juz cant beleive that a bot team got better drafts than me......
maybe the bot team ended their season in last place......
maybe....juz maybe....ill do the same..

with draft changes this season, it was announced that bots would have followed a process much more similar to human managers and would have had better draftees. It was the last kick to go away from South Africa (I should change my nick...), as the minimal number of draftees would have been reduced by good bots picks ^^

At the speed that you are developing I firmly believe MBBA would be a very competitive league (not that it is not right now).

not to seem negative, but my understanding is that training is still suboptimal, not being widely monorole, neither in MBBA nor in II/III series. The symptoms is the level of 21 yrs old players. May be wrong, as being a symptom, but likely.

If II/III push hard on training, MBBA will become far more competitive, otherwise promoted teams would defeat incumbent ones

at this moment, first week matches evaluation are similar to low-II/high III in Italy, just to give you a reference point, where incomes are far lower and is more difficult to manage growth.

This is just to stimulate all of you: look at most compettiive countries, aim to their levels. Challenges accelerate growth.

And I love reading about people who aim high as you.

Evan, welcome to BB forum, any question can ask here, a lot of expert will guide you in correct way..lolz

It will take time and lots of efforts for teams in Div II to be competitive when these teams come up to MBBA. I reckon in another couple of seasons the promoted teams from div II will be starting MBBA on equal or near equal footing. Just to take a comparison with Hattrick Malaysia. The teams in div II are mostly on equal footing with the Liga teams so competition is fierce. Personally I would like none other than some newly promoted teams from div II to challenge for MBBA in their first season up.

The only way for the div II teams to be competitive is to remain faithful to their training regime and to learn the game well. Financially, the MBBA teams are at an advantage with their bigger arenas. I am looking at ways on how to narrow the divide in competitiveness between MBBA and div II teams. Of course we have a notable team that did very well and has been doing well since coming up to MBBA a few seasons back....Kwaiwah. Most other teams have come up, only to drop back after one season in MBBA. Perhaps Kwaiwah has a blueprint that he can share with the newly promoted teams as well as other aspirants on "from survival to contention in MBBA".

I'm pretty sure the blue print will say 'CT Spaz' D:

jokes aside... its hard for any Div II team to keep up with MABBA... quite a number of them have played from season 3... and most of the more than 5/6 seasons..

the managers in Div II don't stay long enough or like you both suggest have a strong training program...

We'll see how this goes as we seem to have picked up some nice new active managers like Evan, Vandar and Syakir :P

Wrong way also i dont mind...because its normaly the faster way

Very welcome to have all the new managers becoming active here.

I might be able to share some experience to you. In fact i joined BB quite late (still already abt 5-6 seasons i guess) but i faced the same problem to break into MBBA teams, if you see my team history, i have been gone up and down from DivII to MBBA quite a few times.

I do not want you all to be afraid of coming to MBBA, there are some benefits here, for example, i managed to get 1mil every time im promoted, it helps me to strengthen my team and build bigger arena (thyis is very important). Secondly, it helps me to discover how my team is compared to MBBA team, it help me to see where my weakness and think how i can match theirs. So, i believe it could help you all in general, do not be afraid to be promoted here. But remember do not get up set if lost every games.

A strong training programme and a good planning for arena is very very important for your team right now. Seek for advices from experts here, they are very generous to share.

Good luck to all of you. Cheers.

Hmm... not sure what you mean by blueprint but I can share what I did for my team.
My team's story is actually 50% luck and 50% strategy.

Luck portion
Lucky Start: Started with 2 very good inside trainees (19yo MVP and 18yo AllStar).
First Season (7) @ Div III.2: Started in div III = guaranteed for next season $500K promotion bonus and better draft pick (My third trainee)
Second Season (8)@ Div II.3 : Nobody from MBBA got relegated to my division (Div II.3) as one of them became bot (Slampunks)
Third Season (9) @ MBBA: Boombastic became bot and the game engine was biased towards inside based teams. We can basically field inside player for C, PF and SF and have good results. (Note: The game engine has already been changed and this is no longer valid)

Strategy portion
First season (7):
Focus only on training 2 trainees on single position
Strengthening other positions with veterans @$20K bidding and below for each player
Be careful of my finances and getting only Lvl 4 trainer with Lvl 2 Doctor and PR.

Second Season (8):
Used $500K promotion bonus to get 3 more inside trainees and trained 6 trainees by fielding only 8 players into each game. To get the 3 trainees I had to settle for Star potential as there was no way I could get a 3 good trainees at AllStar potential for $500K. This way I don't have wasted training minutes when training rebound which trains C and PF.
Spent the whole season increasing my arena size to prepare for MBBA
Maintained my lvl 4 trainer and lvl 2 Doctor and PR

Third Season (9): The hardest season for my team
1. Knowing that my team's weakness was on the outside I spent my promotion bonus to get myself an outside player.
2. Being in MBBA I knew I had slim chance to survive in MBBA so I went on to scout all 15 other teams in MBBA and determined which teams I have a chance to win (Normal or CT) and which ones I have no chance to win (TIE). At the beginning of the season I already roughly determined which games I should TIE, Normal or CT. From here I managed to upset a few games
3. Continue to train on my 6 trainees because every training week is precious and I need to make the most out of it.
4. Continued to build up on my arena size because MBBA can easily fill up an arena size up to 15K
5. Changed my staff to be Lvl 5 trainer and Lvl 4 doctor and Lvl 3 PR. I didn't want to spend too much on PR as I was still selling out my arena throughout the season.

The rest as they say is history.
