Pretty sure the optimal strategy for AMERICA is for the top 20 teams to enter a cycle of tanking->relegating->promoting, with everyone participating you'll have four seasons of tanking to one season of outspending a D.II. Then we start designating people to win B3 with the profits.

Just an FYI, I would have been down for this too had somebody not kept me from joining the NBBA...

I may decide to tank, relegate, and be the weak link of our conference. We'll see.


I've entertained this idea in the past, but I would have to completely change my team's identity. Basically being a slightly different version of Silverbacks. Do something funky like Inside/Outside Iso or Princeton.

I'm positive jumpers and 3 point shooting can work. Would just need the money and some dead end seasons for crappy training to make it work.

I'm not positive it would work, but I want to try it anyway I have the same problem as you though, a bunch of excellent LI-built players and nothing else. If you look on TL there's hardly anything worth buying for outside offense.

An agreement induced salary cap of the league salary floor? Cap holds and exceptions for hosting american NT players?


Yeah, and maybe a designated relegation order so no one becomes the oppressed underclass, crushed beneath the merciless boots of Nemesio Xermade.

just a FYI.

I am pleased with the team's performance last season: 2 balls. ;)


Last Fan Survey update was 6/8. so that 2 balls is still reflecting their opinion of your teams Season 22 performance. Tonights update should reflect their opinion of your Championship season :-)

We'll see if these alleged super-defensive centers, together with the new GE, are really going to take outside teams to a new level.


I want to spend all my money on 18yos and tank to train shotblocking.

This plan is strongly endorsed by all of the other Great 8 teams...you should do this :-)

You know who I miss? Our old center, Vega. He won what, 5 NBBA titles combined? He'd be perfect for this new sim.

I've also got a hunch that the positions hurt the biggest by the sim change are the perimeter players playing in an LI.

Hm I haven't paid attention to scrimmages at all, but my guess would be that SB applies against (some? more?) "open" inside shots in the "rotates over to help" sort of way. So that would affect big men more often, but maybe littles stronger if it's a SB-vs-IS comparison...

Basically I want to make an outside team so I don't have to worry about it and so I can see LI fail sometimes!
