Lord Toranga,

As far as U21 ambitions go, I think the best thing for you to do is to decide on the 3 players above you want to commit to for the best interest of your own team and get really focused on training them. U21 will come to those players as a result of that commitment.

I also agree with sgt.sagara's comment:

OD and PAssing is very hard to train, you rather have your trainee from average and above.

I would probably add Jump range to that as well. JS, HD, DR are easy to train so try to get a solid starting point in the more difficult attributes.

according to me, defense is the first skill to train and maximise. Stamina is very important for a trainee to play the whole 48 minutes. Stamina about mediocre and above is good.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and wisdom. We will do everything you all say except, we will train Noritada, yes he is an inept defender but he is our first draft pick ever and we want to make him at least decent. For the rest of the season we will train only stamina, some passing then OD.

Noritada will only play in the scrimmage so we do not mind his bad defence.

It will be a long project but we will make a player out of him. He can now score a little. Next he shall learn to pass just one pop. Then it shall be OD. We hope in the 5 weeks he can get 3 pops so he shall start next season respectable.

So we hope this is him now + 5 pops

That looks like a player I would like to have. I'm sure he will be behind this, bad minutes, injuries, mistakes, but this is my aim!

How typical, just in time for our game Sapporo Fighters buys a $1,000,000 player. Probably worth more than my entire roster put together. My most expensive player cost 1/4 of that.

Kimochi warui.

Aaaah... yeah, I saw that too. He was 'telling' us in chat that he was going to win our division. He took it very badly when I said that I thought Shikoku was a better team - basically I was told my team sucked.
Oh well.


Still... to be honest, I have no problem with someone buying a player at this time. It's something available to all of us.
But me? I'm just looking to actually MAKE the playoffs - I'd consider that a real step (from finishing dead last in the last season!).

I have not problem too but it is sad for us. We hoped for a home playoff game. Still now we are safe in thrid and will be knocked out in first round. We played CT with 10 enthusiasm to his TIE and still it was not close game. So our season is now over. We have our imports up for sale our "key player" for $1. We are also selling your draft pick Kohichi Matsuo much improved now a very good shooter but sad once one position training he was no4.

In our league there are rich and poor. You and I are still poor. The best we can do is compete for 3rd. We must build our arena. We will train our young players. We will look for at least one "star" who can get wins. We shall make money. Patience.

I said that, and now I won the penultimate match against Shikoku in the regular season without my star Mitsuo Shibukji.

To be honest I'm very competitive. I know in the chat I did not behaved in an appropriate way. I'm sorry

That's great! Being competitive is good and every now and then I'd love a more leveled competition. This season we may not meet but prepare for the next season. I am going all out!

Yay. Playoffs.

We are also very competitive but with Sharman around the only way we can compete is with patience and prepare to strike in two or more seaspns. We have trained very well all season and our players are much improved. We have built our arena and tried to make our fans feel proud.

We have made 3rd and have overachieved with some good wins while others were still in the cup or had injuries while we still were running a very poor roster. 14 wins is much better than 11. We would like to have more next season but there will be several strong teams like Otaku, Japan, Sapporo and the Noodles in our way.

We wish all teams good luck in the playoffs, we do not luck but a miracle need.

14 wins is much better than 11

I do wish people would stop doing stuff like this...


But anyway, all the best to all in the playoffs!
