So anyone else around this season? Two games in and all i've seeing is silence.

I'm actually off to a decent start with two victories. I'd be honestly happy just to make the playoffs this year after getting brutalized by most everyone last year. Even won my other game today so 3 and 0 even though just 2-0 in league.

Anyway would be fun if any of yall other are around. I'd talk some smack but only in good natured fun. Yall took my ball and flattened it in front of me last season. lol Anyways hope anyone else who is here has a good season!

I'm around. I'm always around.... I have been in too many leagues recently where nobody spoke a word. I was the new season thread starter in 2 of them and I didn't get a peep. I wish BB kept track of how many views a thread had. Maybe then I would know if anyone cared or they just didn't reply. I made 3 posts to my own thread and went an entire season with silence.
Anyway, I was promoted to D3 and I thought I had a good enough team to stay there..... I calculated that I was going to be sitting in the 6th or 7th spot and I have been demoted from D3 before so I just decided to tank and get some good 18 yr old trainees. I drafted 1 of my top 5. The other two I fired. I spent a lot of scouting points, too, but with my "tanking cash" (aka sale of players with salaries over $10k) I was able to purchase 2 more 18yr old trainees (1 I practically stole) and now I'm focused on training, not winning.
I surely hope this league is more talkative than the previous few.
EDIT: By tanking I mean I wanted to get out of D3 (which seemed better than 50% chance anyway) and I would stick to D4, I don't think I could willfully tank enough in a league with bots to be demoted....
I wanted to sell my top salaried players for starting capital to use on new players, staff, and even an arena expansion, which was worthless because fans are pissed. I was averaging close to $200k in arena attendance and my attendance was averaging 15k, now it's 7800.... I made $89,000 last home game.

Awesome to see some others actually around. I joined midway through last season but it was to late to do much of anything. Looking forward to see what i can accomplish with a full season under my belt. Right now just letting the guys throw the rock up and try to spread the experience around.

Thanks for the info. I use discord already and will look into the channel. Having a fun time so far this season. Winning more then i expected but believe that's mostly due to quite a few bot teams and other teams having just formed. Anyway thanks again for the info. Will head over to discord now.

My username on Discord is Korubii. If you want to verify for access to USA sensitive channels, I would talk to JKalltheway. He is the most active and has been U21 coach a few times.

Iron Shield achievement is fun. I got the <5 points by putting my best defenders vs a bot and going Full Court Press on defense.
I think it took 2 tries.
