Roster wise, yes I am at a disadvantage compared to the other NBBA teams. I am at an advantage compared to other buzzerbeater managers.
Yes that is a fact, in the span of 5 seasons I went from D V to the NBBA. I don't know how you see that as misleading. My team has been around since season 12 but I did not really start playing until recently. I only logged in so I would not lose my team and I finally had the time to start actually playing.
The tactical confidence comes more specifically from the past few seasons. Its all there for you to see. What happened was 5 seasons ago I actually started playing the game and winning. It's that simple.
As I said before the sudden interest is to make USA win. I have the tactical ability to do it, look at my matches for the past few seasons. I bring a mix of unpredictability that managers have a hard time guessing while a great intuition at what other managers will do.
