>>> Thanks for the Kudos on winning the Title... your team played well and kept the playoff competitive... I totally agree with you on being able to add players based on competing with the top league teams with a Cap would make the managers more involved with the League... it also would enhance the training aspect of the game as well... you have some good points.. one other thing I would like to see is that any Bot teams would be assigned lower level draft picks and give the active managers better chances of getting better potential players during the draft...

Congratulations to the Cyborgs! They met everyone's expectations with a perfect season followed by a 2-0 finals. Good luck to them going forward. I'm sure their GM Mad-Scientist will do an excellent job.

It would be cool if the devs enhanced how bots work. Cap their rosters at 10, have a random "type" be assigned to them, which will be the kind of offense/defense they run, and positions they train. Make the bots train 4 players at a time (18-21yrs old) with two position training, with the remaining 6 players filling out the other starting positions and backups. Every season the bot keeps its 4 trainees, 3 draft picks, and 3 highest tsp or salary players from the previous season. After 4 seasons of training, the trainees get put on the TL and the bot starts over with new trainees. You could also give the other positions free stat boosts, so the bot maintains its competitive relevance. The potential of the bots would be based on what division it is. This way the bots can provide a challenge for new teams but also be capped at a certain point, decreasing the chances it wins the finals. I assume that because a teams' funds would be "deleted"(being that it goes to a bot). Player prices would drop as a whole, which would make it even easier for new managers to put together a competitive roster rather quickly. Which means, they are more likely to stick around and potentially become a Supporter. Because players would be so cheap, the game would turn into a transferfest as managers test out different combinations until they find what works for them. I would personally love to build different teams and figure out the optimal skillsets to have for all the strategies in the game.

Also, rivals are overrated. Shlubs vs Risers is 14-1 all time.

>>> Thanks for the Kudos... this league was a lot of fun, with the involvement of managers in it... this is the one thing that I will miss... you made some great points as to the Bots, it would create some better players at a lower transfer cost and still keep it at a Cap... good ideas...

So how'd everyone's draft go? I got a solid 19 year old but I gotta let him go unfortunately since I'm going to be one position training for a good portion of the season. I think he could turn into a versatile big, being that a bunch of his non-big skills are already taken care of. His two worst stats being rebounding and inside shot. Seems like a no-brainer to focus those two, and mix in a little Inside Def later. If anyone is interested, I put him up for auction.

It was as expected, I did not invest any points this season into the draft as I have 2 nice trainees that I will be working with for several seasons so as predicted I got NOTHING but scrub players that I will keep for scrimmages and merchandise money... sounds like you got a decent one to make some cash with hope it works out well...

Newspaper in minnesota reads: 3rd times the charm for the foes?
Is this the season Ed and the crew, finally break through, or will it be another season, of the same. Can they stay focus, during the regular season.

This looks like a possible win for us this season. Definitely a more even service. I feel confident this season about our chances at finally moving on up. Lucky #42!

Of course injuries are gunna play a factor, you can never be so sure about when there pop up.

Playoff teams are obvious so i won't even ask this season.

Finals contenders
Foes/sharks/bombers

Final contenders
Shlubs...and really thats it, but if u wanna add another contender a far 2nd, New york

Foes VS Shlubs and the Foes finally win 2 games to 1

I'll try to keep him in our league (Larry Copeland) my original PG is getting old (32) now. And he would make a great replacement with a little training. Im sllllowly working on building up my team for the future. Plus he'll be a player similar to Eike who will be leaving our team in a season or 2 tops. So he'll take care of 2 positions. Sometimes move over to the 3. Depending on matchups. I won't need him to play inside for my team, as we got enough young talent in that department. But i will train him for rebounding and inside D. Inside scoring im not concerned with, as that isn't the type of team i got. But definitely rebounding and inside D. Also outside D. Then work on his shooting. Which will be last. Because we got enough shooters on this team already. In 3 or 5 seasons he should be ready to join the starting 5....if i get him

Cool. If anything, I can buy him back in the future if you choose to let him go. I'll be needing to upgrade my 3 position in the future anyway. I think inside scoring is such a valuable skill to have though. Nothing more infuriating than seeing your player miss a chippy at the rim. That's why I was playing my trainees at the 4/5 a couple of seasons ago. I putting some points into IS. If I had completed Darren and Joe with a better trainer last season, Larry would've been the perfect candidate to fill my ever changing 4 position. With his inside skills capping from 14-16 (assuming you trained evenly) , depending on your prioritization.

I see what you did there!! Your the favorite going in and your still trying to stay under the radar! Especially with your draft players, there gunna put you over the top this season.
Your be in the playoffs as a 4 seed @ 14-8 and then go on a tear! Might be the first team to win it all as a 4 seed, im not sure if it happened before. History in the makin!

I hope i can stay healthy, might have to try to buy your janitor off you, if we run out of bodies lol
