BuzzerBeater Forums

Man, I wish this league was as active on the forums when I was here back in seasons 18-20

Really, it used to be more active? I don't see really any threads on the archive that showed any activity. I've been trying to encourage people to post more, but it's been a little challenging, considering there's only 3 of us.

I meant to word that differently. I meant that the forum was dead when I was in this league and I wish the forum was as active as it is now than what it was, which is dead, a couple of seasons ago.

That's one of the appeals to me of getting out of DV, more people to chat with on the forum, makes it so much more fun. I'm rolling the dice and hoping for this season to be my ticket, I don't remember DV being as difficult when I gave this a go a year or so ago with another team.

Anyhow, congrats to all who managed to stay in the cup! I beat a DVI bot, and drew another one, this time from DV, so another week of stayin' alive for me!

I also managed to win against another bot team, it's really getting that extra 50 000 plus the confidence of winning every game. It seems like Statesboro is selling his 3 best players so that is nice to see.

True. I've never been able to get very far in the cup before, but I'm getting better draws this year than I ever have. Yes, that is very nice to see, although I would have like a shot at Hardin though, oh well. Just for the benefit of anyone else who sees this, if you're looking to sell any 10k+ salary Americans, let me know. My goal is to have an all-American team, but the necessity of winning as put that on hold for now until I can get to DIV.

Now, weekend previews!

I'm excited because we have one of the most exciting games in weeks on Saturday as the two top seeds of V.22's toughest conference battle it out on TV as Türkçüler travels to FritoLay Arena to play against the Undefeated Washington Hoyas. This is one of the big games of the season as it will play a huge part in playoff seeding, and test the mettle of both of these teams to the core.

If you'll remember, the Hoyas played their season opener against the Downtown Dudes, winning by 3. This began their 4 game win streak, becoming the conference favorite with their strong outside shooting ratings and excellent play by PG Vernon Manning. However, Manning and Co. come into this game looking a little worn after playing three games a week to maintain their cup run. Jay Duke's squad usually runs 2 a week, and forgoes scrimmages to keep all of his players rested, usually due to an early exit from the national tournament. But this year, the Hoyas have made it to the third round, where they will be facing another tired team, the Forest Elves.

The Dudes were unable to stop the Hoyas, but they held off Türkçüler 97-78 last week. The Turks are an interesting squad, but have dominated this season after a late entry into the league last year, where they quickly rose to prominence, but fell just short of a playoff bid. Without a clear on-court leader, they are quite dangerous both on the outside and inside attack. If anyone can stop the Hoyas' win streak, it's them.

I'm expecting for the Turks to pull this one out, their inside game and domination of the boards will win it for them.

This is by far the most interesting game this week. Statesboro and Richmond both play innactive teams that will soon go bot, as do I.

You guys talking about me behind my back! :)

Sorry my father just retired so I gave him the gift of Buzzerbeater :) So I've been a little MIA showing him the ropes.

Man tank goodness I got rid of those bulking salaries. I'm now making 80-90k a week, plus one more cup round if I can manage my minutes right.

I hope I don't win this season. I would probably get bounced right back as my bigs could really use a second season of training. Plus, one more season and I'll be over a mil and maybe I'll be able to buy a NT prospect for another country.

But, I'll still try to ruin some Great 8 playoff dreams haha.

Who is gonna make me play normal for the first time this season?

Well hey, good to see you! This isn't your first time on BB I take it, I recognize your username from a team gone bot long ago, ad a rather hilarious forum thread.

I was making that much last season, and it feels great! Unfortunately, DV is tougher now than when I remember it, so I had to get some better players to stay competitive this season. If I can get to DIV, then I'll finally get some more respect and can rebuild then. :p

Man oh man I love winning by 80 points!

Yeah when I was moving I stopped playing unforunately I didn't log back on in time to save my old team. Your right though Division 5 seems a lot harder then I remember. With only 2 active players in our league, I might not have to purchase any players to have a strong showing.

Yeah just us two were the only active ones, but now it seems like we've gotten two more who seem to be stacking their teams. I'm glad sold those guys so that I could keep my team's salary lower. It's so nice making 130k a week.

I'm doing about 66k myself, not counting the cup of course, it'll be quite a bit more once this new expansion finishes. Although it's fair to warn you that you will have an attendance drop after you start facing some of the teams that are actually active in my division. ;P

I was disappointed the Turks lost by 10 Saturday, it makes my playoff hopes a little more grim.
