So what do I do if I'm stuck in a league that is stacked against me, even if I have a decent team?

I"m in League V.10 and the top 6 teams were all close to .500, and there was only one or two good teams in the opposite division.

Any way to get out of it? I was hoping there would be more reshuffling of teams, but our division stayed pretty much exactly the same.

I would get 3 trainees to single position train, and in 2 seasons you will have 3 15k+ salary players.

Another thing that you can do(I wouldn't) is sell all of your players(except your trainees) and buy 6 1k salary players off the TL, and save lots of money. Then when you have 2 million (3 seasons) buy a couple star players (25K+) and promote. you will also be immedietly competitive for the title in your IV league after this. If you do this though, make sure that you have trainees.

Something that you should do either way is invest a lot of money in your arena, and get it to at least 15 thousand seats. this will help a lot. This will have to happen over a long period of time. (4-5 seasons)

P.S. Looking at your roster, I think that you have too many players and should drop down to 10-12.

15,000? WTF?

I said a long term goal (more than 5 seasons) I dont have that yet, but i have been adding at least 1k seats every season since I have signed up.

i think you can win this season. Just keep you gameshape up and always counter their offense with the right defense. Also, use TIE when you dont have a chance on winning and CT when the opposing team is slightly better to better. And invest on your arena. hope this helps

Thanks for the help. A couple things:

1. I haven't cut any of my drafted players yet, and I plan to. I wasn't able to scout a single rookie with 4 or 5 balls in potential...so I got a bunch of junk. Happens. I might try out the market and find something.

2. These are probably the two best players I have. Keepers?

Eric Ellison
Weekly salary: $ 6 219
DMI: 18100

AND

Paul Decrans
Weekly salary: $ 4 305
DMI: 44100
Age: 19
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: awful

Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: strong Free Throw: atrocious

Ellison was my draft pick last season. He progressed pretty well. More ID and IS I'm guessing? More ID/SB for Decrans?

3. I haven't looked for strategy guides for the game, so I'm not as familiar with the proper counters tactics-wise. I'll look around for that to help.

Ya. your right. I just looked at the news page, and saw the salary floor.

Your traianees are actually pretty good. I would Start out by trining ID on them and then IS.

And I would keep them both.

Sounds like a plan.

Since I don't have a whole bunch of really good young players, should I just do my best to specific position-train just those two and one other guy, or at least get 6 guys in per week?

I actually spent a little more on a Superior trainer, so I should get decent pops for those two.

Hate to keep asking for help, but it sure helps, and I thank you again. Any reason to work on the following players?
