As a manager you have to at least see what the market thinks of a young guy. Especially for me because at that position i made it a point to go out and get 3-4 guys who are around same age that i can train. Clearly Hilton is the MAIN but the others are progressing enough that IF hilton sold for good $$$ i could buy a player or 2 and still have 2 quality trainees that i am still improving. we will have to see where it goes from here tho!

On a different note. I didn't spend anymore on scouting points than i really do any other time (which is 0-1 pt per week) and in hindsight that was probably a bad idea. I mean i haven't had a top 10 pick since i drafted Tommy in my first season and that's turned out to be a really good grab. I should have invested more. What i am hoping is that i can get LUCKY and get another Hilton type player. if i actually spend "big" i can get enough points to do a legit group demonstration and then try the guessing game at interviewing 1 of those guys lol but ultimately i didn't invest well on that aspect cuz i was cheap and knew with losing and dumping/selling OLD men that my money wouldn't be really on the rise so i wanted to save every penny possible.

After my year of "tanking" (finished 5th somehow) it will be interesting to see what route BucsBlue management goes. Fans aren't used to this and 2 years of it may not be what they want. But with a BIG sale... Hilton or God forbid (tommy) i wont have the money to get players that will help get us back to title contention in 1 year.

Unless i Luck up and draft an 18 yr old with MVP potential and sell him for a Million plus but that's RARE! and unlikely

lol I was gonna say, offseason schedule coming up? What? Uhh... What about the playoffs?

that would be a cool method

It's a great idea, but I'm not sure I would like it applied to BB. While not exactly comparable, I play a soccer simulator that's more like fantasy with real players, than this kind of "choose your own adventure" management game. And they recently grouped players together by relative strength/skill, which helped curb rampant "bot"ulism on some servers and made the game much more interesting/competitive.

I guess I think the current promotion/relegation system already kind of does that. I see people not being able to compete at a certain level only encouraging more team abandonment.

And I'd give Marin a little bit of a break, as it appears he is not American, and people in different parts of the world use words a little differently, so offseason can mean anything outside regular season. That would include playoffs.

LOL...I hear ya. Beggars can't be choosers. And you're not fooling anybody...you know you want some more of this. ;)

I like the idea in general. But since the rivalry thing in this game has a direct link to the economy, and as we've recently discussed this is an economy game as much as anything, I think it takes a key element away from this game.

Well nothing wrong with that.... you made another great run at it. you've been the model for consistency on our side of the league. You are always top 1 or 2. and always a viable threat to make the finals. And with a roster that has a good balance of youth and veterans and balance in terms of salaries i dont see you going away anytime soon. I question is how can I get back in the mix. took a year off of being competitive. hopefully it pays dividends in a decent maybe not great draft pick, did some training, did some arena work. And tommy still has about 6 really good years left in him before the decline hits. So i don't know what route to take. But BB isn't as fun when youre going into games knowing you dont have a chance to win... and my fans probably wont take another season of that so going to have to find some way to get at least back in the talk of being a good maybe not great team.
