I like being an underdog

Well, unlimited spending as a superpower would be good...

Yep, two seasons ago I started making a deliberate effort at changing over the older players for somewhat younger, but even at a D.II income that's really hard to manage. Tero was a steal, he's young enough that I can smooth over his weakest skills (which I've done a decent job of so far) and I hope to keep this us as long as I can, but I have a wave of players close to skills decline that I can't sell for too much on the TL and getting younger replacements will take a lot of luck, like when I grabbed Tero.

Another huge challenge in this league seems to be that there's always two or three teams every season spending extra on payroll to make a big push, and the teams that fail in that tend to relegate quickly after the attempt. I've been able to more or less keep up with the back of the lead pack the last few seasons, even getting to the Finals the last two seasons, but I knew I was always a few rungs below the top teams and not yet willing to go for broke.

essence of this story, money rules in making it to NBBA. Even if it means selling your whole team and tank for a few season while getting 2-3 solid prospects as your franchise cornerstones. While your way work too, but you will always end up having not enough money to promote. Unless you have insane core already, getting that last guy to push over the top 2-3 weeks before playoffs is really the move, similar to what Plasma just did.

Word. See ya back in D.IV!

I still don't think I can beat you in playoffs, only one way to find out though

The DAGGERS have racked up an impressive salary roll :o

All In Indy. Just hoping it works. If not I’m going to be hurting when my season ends.

Daggers with seven able-bodied players to start the playoffs, including a brand new addition with The Salary That Ate Cincinnati (and only average GS). Better hope the Stamina is trained up! Scary lineup, buncha players gonna have to go near 40 minutes, though.

Good luck everyone! I'm probably getting creamed in the 1st round, but an injury or two going my way and who knows.
