NEP hasn't checked team since it created.

My team is supposed to be able to lose for 2-3 seasons without chance of promoting... Not be undefeated

How do you know NEP hasn't checked team? And you won't be undefeated there's a couple good teams. And it's good, it lets you focus on the Cup games.

Go to league over view option like it says to in new manager checklist. Says day of last login, and on team page press releases say day of creation

I don't like talking much. I'm online checking forums every day, but don't expect me to post often.
As for your status of remaining undefeated, this league is simply not very competitive. If you want to see a competitive league, then check out Season 22 of V.54. Impressive stats for D-5 teams.
Technically, you should be happy about this. The key to being in a noncompetitive league is to enjoy the attendance and income boosts from winning often, yet not winning often enough to promote, because you want to expand your arena to around 8k to 10k seats first. Only then you make your move and go for promotion.

He's exactly right. Also, focus on your cup games more than your league games. Cup games bring in serious cash for each win. They're much more important since this division isn't very competitive.

I got a bad draw for this second round.

But yeah the extra money from winning will be cool. And I guess not many people active enough to make dents in my draft plans and most who will have worse picks than me.

Drafts are really a crapshoot. The player market is where to build your team at first. I don't want to give too much advice or take away from the fun, but I would look for a 29-32 year old player with some proficient and/or prominent skills for about 100,000. A star player. You're not going to draft a stud with stupendous skills. The best would be an MVP potential with respectable guard skills that you could sell for a couple hundred thousand.

I am doing the whole pure homegrown thing... Seeing how far I can take it.

All my players are homegrown and drafted.

Nah, think I'll stick te 100% home drafted route. Scouting a only a crapshoot if you let it be...

It's an interesting ambition, and I have heard of teams making it to D-3 with home drafted teams. However, the problem lies in the training. Since you cannot concentrate on training certain positions, every player you train will probably not reach a high enough skill level to progress much farther than that. If you do try to train each player to the fullest...I believe I read in the forums somewhere that someone tried training an entire team to a good skill level. To do this, he drafted big men first, trained them to be as good as possible. Then, he drafted guards and trained those. Unfortunately, by the time his guards were "good enough," his big men were nearing old age and had to be sold.
Of course, if you have no plans to progress past D-4 or D-3, then by all means, continue with your plan. If you do plan to go farther, however, I suggest that you make only half your team home drafted. Either train your guards and buy the big men, or train the big men and buy your guards. If you take my advice, then I suggest training the guards and buying the big men. Centers and power forwards are abundant in the market and thus are also cheaper.

My plan is to ONLY train SF height people through the same basic training plan. And whatever differences they each have they each have, thus varying up my players to fit 1-5
