I think that's a valid measure. I prefer the BB training... but that's because of the simplicity of it (at the risk of sounding like I'm trying to turn stuff around!). The stamina share with training on HT can get messy.
It all comes down to - for me - the GE viewer. I mean, at the end of the day, it's all about the games. It's far superior at BB. I can actually watch a BB game... whereas with HT I just check occasionally, maybe not at all.

The more I think about it, the more Nik0's point about Tycoon rings true. That's all any of this is: "building something".

Seeing as we're talking...

These aren't really MMOs... but meh, that's semantics.

HT are very strict on second teams... and with their system of supporter you can get a second team any way (I have one). And no transfers between the two teams.
Your suggestion on training is interesting, and I agree with you as to BB being the most interesting basketball browser game... and having the best GE viewer of any browser game I've seen.
And that's the key selling point.

On money, HT seems to be doing pretty well. Generally they have 10x the presence online that we do here - but then football's a bigger global game.


Oh... and wowow? You're better off getting an International League Pass straight from the NBA...

NBA League Pass is more expensive, but you get more too. For the season, it'll probably be a bit over $200. But that's for every game, and 'games on demand' (that you can watch whenever). You can get a 'team package', where you could get every Blazers game - I think that runs at about half price?
You can also watch with your X-Box (if you have one), or on your phone or tablet.

My PC's screen is big-ass... so fine with that. My kid/wife tend to dominate the TV any way, and also with LP I can watch games at lunch time, or on the road (traveling).

Sorry about the CT Mizik: I needed that win, but didn't want to compromise my training either. So... playing K-Mat at the point, with crap support - and in your house = the need for me to CT.
I think that should just about guarantee that I finish no worse than 5th.

Kiyotake vs Stunners could be fun next week - Kiyotake could keep 6th, and avoid playing YC.

Well, it's tricky, Kyoto Shogun had no reason to risk injuries in the last game and probably play with his few underdogs and TIE vs. Chelsea. Still a posibility in this case that Chelsea can win. I'm at home vs. Stunners, it looks like our players are somehow at similar level. There's no way, I must beat Mizik to become 5th to avoid playoff matches vs. YC. Therefore, I'll go for it...

My outlook:
4. Northern Kyushu Ramen Kings
5. Kiyotake (you'll never make a) Saints (of me)
6. Stunners
7. Chelsea
