And we have some monster games next week.....
#1. Brutus vs. #3. NKRK now this is going to be a good game..even better if Brutus spends a little

#2. Himachis vs #5. Torigoe Birds Himachis going through unless something crazy happens

#4. Kitakyushu vs #8 Newstar he has some beast I have to keep in check

#9, #10, #12 all got bots....

Crazy draw for sure.

#1. Brutus vs. #3. NKRK - I got lucky. Brutus's in a re-build phase at the mo'.
#2. Himachies vs #5 Torigoe Birds - the new powerhouse eliminates his rival.
#4. Kitakyushu vs #8 Newstar - THIS one surprised... even with the ratings, the result doesn't quite gel. Good win for the new kid on the block!

---------------------------------------------------

Next up:
#11 Basel Rockets @ #12 BlueHoppers
#9 A WildCats @ #10 Tokyo Tornadoes
#8 new star311 @ #1 Himachies
... and I get #19 A tokyo bb at my place.

Thoughts? At first glance, I think there are 3 pretty good games there. My picks:
Basel, Wildcats, Himachies... and yours truly.

I got greedy. I thought I could still use this game for training. Should have run man to man with my best SF in his position. Instead I ran a big at SF and tried to use 2-3 zone. Oh well. Good game to New Stars. But I will admit...this game(BB as a whole) is buggy as all hell right now. Never seen so many 3 second violations, 10 second shot clock violations, balls being thrown out of bounds. And my team has turned into a hacking foul machine.

I thought this game was right on!! Not buggy at all. BUT, This season as a whole has been buggy. Seems to me that they need to spend some more money on the GE and servers because JUST MAYBE a better product will have a better effect on keeping new users than wasting it on useless ads. TBH, I love this game but the weekly numbers are quite discouraging. And 1 new user doesn't equal a user who had been playing for 12 seasons leaving the game. And like Jet Li in the movie, THE ONE, I am the last one of my friends to be playing. Two of my best friends quit last year and now my brother quit in December. And as the numbers dwindle down, there has to be a bottom number where they just can't keep the game going.
I know you are a GM so I have a question for you. What are they doing to make the game better?
We all know it isn't merging micros, are they going to revamp the training, attendance ? Anything?

No worries. I even edited my post to make it more clear. I don't think telling you that they are working on a new attendance algorithm or a GE clean up would be giving you an advantage in the game.
What they really need is decimals for skills that the owner can only see. It would still say marvelous but when you ran the curser over it, it would say 15.7 for example. Like I said in a forum post, that would solve the Friday NO POP blues. At least you could see your player getting better. And the NO POP BLUES is why my brother quit, he got sick of waiting a week for training and not see any improvement (Pops, green arrows). I told him his sub-levels were going up, but he asked, "How do you know"? I think with a micro merge, and showing sub levels and a new attendance algorithm, this game could still be saved.

I'm getting totally crushed on merchandising revenue. I'm just receiving 1/3 of what I was getting a season ago. I guess that's what happens when totally breakup an elite team. I've gotten hit hard on the attendance side too.

Same here except the elite team thing. I think it was you selling Takabe. He was a home grown NT starter. I sold Maeda who was the same, my draft pick and NT player, and my merchandise dropped. And then today my mechandise drooped another 20K with the sell of King. I still have Togo who is a U21 NT starter, so next year it could be even worse.
Question. Are you under the salary floor? I am 36K under, so I need to add a 36K player.

Right now I'm $25K under. I could add another guard if I see a player I like. Any guys I'm acquiring now have to make sense long term.

Where we stand at the moment...
