Sounds like u got most of it covered, but tough doesnt have a competitive team now, he sold everyone and is rebuilding, so it depends on how long itll take him to build a competitive team... As far as trainees go, I was sad to see him sell the 2 bigs, they seemed to be improving quickly and I guess would be great players soon...

Now he needs to rebuild while staying competitive on his D4, but I think he'll be fine as far as relegation goes...

Yeah, i've seen at least two and reported both. It's really silly. You might get away with it for fractional amounts every now and again, but the 300k transfers Zzz. Glad they get removed regularly enough, it'd be depressing to spend 3 seasons getting to where they can w/ a big arena in roughly 1.

Ya, its messed up to work so hard on a team and end up getting screwed by someone whos cheating, at least this guy is not doing too well in my league, i beat him already, but I still dont like the fact that he has 2 accounts... whatever, I hope they take care of it, even if they dont, he wont make it too far, his arena is small, he cant afford expensive players...

3) Looking at veterans and looking at ball possession.

Xim Carbo - He's played 4 games against league opponents. His rating in those four games is a 4.0. the team is roughly a -60 (negative double digits per game average) when he's on the floor. Why is this guy seeing the floor outside of making sure your starter doesn't lose game shape to too many minutes? he's 30, with a 1.3k salary. a D5 would be hard pressed to keep a salary like this around, let alone a DIV team that has aspirations of hanging on.

Bazyli - Again, what is this guy doing for you right now that makes it worth keeping him on the floor much at all during a game? at point guard he's averaging close to 1:1 Assists:Turnover. He's not really doing the job that a Pg should be doing, not to mention he's not really a strong PG candidate. Even Ashley, your standard PG that i bagged on in posts prior, is doing better in his ratio of Assists:Turnover.

The teams meanwhile that tough is trying to catch are doing a lot better. Lets look at the 3rd ranked team in his conference rather than someone promotion bound. Almdudlers is 3rd, and his team ratio is nearly 2:1 on the assist front. They make more plays as a team that they mess up. He doesn't do take the ball away as much, but he can afford to do make fewer steals if he makes more plays. the same is pretty standard amongst other teams that reside in 4th and 5th place. Maybe not a lot of turnover potential, but they have a lot better ball control.

Whether or not tough gets the next 40k player on his team at some point might determine his promotion potential. But i think that supporting cast that can play defense and generate potential offense is probably going to benefit him more than that one player.

He's chancing it by staying as capable as a 6th or 7th best team in his side of the equation. And he isn't selling off and rebuilding. He bought Ulferd Stillfried, a slightly over the hill veteran but still a good player, most recently. If he's going to work on some guys and do a bit of a rebuild, thats all well and fine, but it doesn't mean he has to chance relegation. He could use Stillfried, he can use his SG, and get maybe 4-5 players that are better than his depth and finish 5th no problem.

well this isn't the worst cheater i've seen, but he did make ~300k out of this without factoring in severance and other things.

Are you on the offsite, ????

nope. too lazy to bb-mail jfarb

Ya, I thought he did well selling the old players, but then he went and got other old players, so I dunno... I was sad to see him sell the 2 trainees, they were coming along... I guess he wanted to shrink the roster and save money, but to rebuild and stay in D4 he needs to start getting players soon cuz we r at the ASW pretty much, season slowly getting close to the end...

ya, not the worst cheater 4sho, might even relegate, but he's still cheating, deserves to be reported... Also, he has the 2 accounts with the same manager name, he's asking to be reported, that's just dumb...

all cheaters should be caught... whether big or not, it hurts the game... and ruins the experience.

as for Tough... he's young, with time, comes wisdom, comes experience, with both those comes dominance.

wasn't really implying that he shouldn't be reported (i did in fact file one). I merely suggested that i've seen guys do far more blatant transfers using 10-12 accounts.
