I really don't think it would be so bad to be relegated out of this league. I am not going to try and be relegated but I wont cry if I do. Look at the huge pile of teams ahead of us. Even if the Big 8 win every championship and no-one good ever gets relegated still this is our best scenario. This season it will probably be Big Black Wang or peaceNroll winning. Next season the other. After that HBH or Maggots will probably be ready. Geoffrey the Giraffe is also in the mix. That is 5 teams just in the Big 8 that are ahead of us already so maybe you and I can fight for the championship in season 22? No way other leagues are this bad.

I understand your point, but I totally disagree with you. You have to consider the developpement factor: BBW has a good team now, but a relatively small arena and high wages. That means he doesn't earn any money.

You just have to play it like HBH: train your players, upgrade your arena in order to earn more and then when you get enough cash to build a stronger team than all your opponents you go for it and promote. This could happen in 3-4 season, just the time to get ready not only to promote be to stay in div 2!

BBW and geoffrey have a very low devoppement potential, while the other conference has absolutely no dangerous team. If BBW does't promote now, he'll never get out of this.

On another note, I'll fight for the first seed next week. That's gonna be one really interesting game! I'll probably go LI / M2M... or do you guys have any suggestions?

im just thinking to try to promote and get as much money in div 2 then i dnt mind getting relegated straight away :) depending when will HBH wanna get promoted. I think LI/M2m is the best you can use can you cant use 3-2 coz hes really strong rebounder

First of all iv been a bit busy since coming to this league and haven't had time to get involved much on the forums. well here we go....

No way other leagues are this bad.

This is easy compared to my last Div 3 league , The top 3 teams in this league have between 160k - 170k team salaries, in my last Div 3 there was about 5 teams with 200k+ team salaries, and i had about 250k team to win and another team had about 270k ish witch i still beat. So you can see how hard it will be in Div 2 with a 160k team. There is a team there this season with a 320k team, i don't know how he can afford that.

When i was in Div 2 last season i had a 7-0 start and could of easily stayed in Div 2 But as peaceNroll said had low development potential. I was never going to come close to winning Div 2, So i started to rebuild and that's why im here.

As you can see i have 3 trainees 2 X 19yo MVP's and a 22 SF i am training at PG and is flogging you all in League Leaders - Average Points Per Game.

You need to plan more long term and less short term, everyone can get promoted to Div 2 But the difference is getting there and getting relegated straight away or getting there and staying there and having a team to continue on developing into a Div 1 team. There is no point spending 5 seasons or so slowly upgrading bit by bit. in the long run it is a waste of 5 seasons. Trust me been there done that.

Also Don't assume like someone said, Team A and B will be hard to beat because they have at least 1.5 mil in the bank. there are always more teams with a lot more money than you think!!!! And i can guarantee that.

here a few tips....

Don't waste time training anything less than allstar.

Invest in the arena earlier on while you have money and not later on when you have a big salary and no money.

Have at least a minimum 4 seasons plan, you cant train good players with anything less unless you spend a lot to buy them in the first place.

Using a teams salary to work out how good they are is a mistake, a better trained team will always have a lower salary than a team that is not well trained.

Hope this help someone.

Yes it is.

Too bad you weren't active earlier this season whitemaggot! Anyway I mostly agree with you, especially on the level of this league. Compare to III.6 and you'll understand why our league is quite a soft one.

Anyway, I'm glad I've won my game today against BBW. It was a thriller to watch, though I was upset about the first half. I really don't understand how my SG and PF (who both have sensational shooting respectively outside and inside) were (not) scoring 0-7 and 0-9. Not to mention that my PF, who's one of the top rebounder of this league, only had 4 rebounds at the tea time.

Though we managed to come back owing to an outstanding job from my C. In the playoffs I'll consider playing a 3-2 zone: a proficient ID isn't necessary against their average inside offense.

So ladies and gentlemen I'll be the new league captain for the regular season :D

PS: HBH I am willing to avoid you in the playoffs first round so please pull a win against geoffrey, this is totally doable!

I have got Princeton (win) BBW (loss) then GtG (tight).
GTG has BBW (tight) Princeton (win) and then HBH (tight).

Interesting last 3 games.

Go HBH, time to shine! The giraffe isnt in shape, play this seriously!

Looks like a happy result for both of us. GTG was fading fast!!!!

Now we have to avoid getting turkey slapped by the big black wang. :( :( :(

Good thing you won indeed: now I will go normal against GTG while BBW will probably have to play CT.

I hope you'll play your best line up and throw everything into the fight. Punish him if he goes normal!!!!

Good effort HBH, too bad you couldn't make it. Though I heard BBW is gonna have game shame issues with his key player, which is really good for me!

Let's open the bets on the 2 SF this saturday.

D-stars - Cleveland: I think D-stars is gonna take it, up by 20.

PNR - BBW: I'll take the game, up by 5. (i hope my C won't foul out too fast)
