I took it easy the cup match because I had a hard match tuesday against the confrence champ which I did CT. my enthusiasm level was only 1 under his. he normaled every match until his cup match. I still think he had a lot more negatives than positives against my team.

I understand and defiantly appreciate the advice. It is frustating for me because I've been in the IV divison for so long and I see other teams in III division and they don't look to much stronger than mine currently is. I spent a lot of money upgrading my arena and then made a significant purchase where my team was weak at only for it to not pay off.

The team I faced went 22-0 in his division and came into my division with so much cash and the promotion bonus that it created an unfair advantage to the teams that are currently in IV.25. It just seems to be the story season after season that my team can't win despite the major changes and adjustments i've made.

You need to work on building up your bench. YOu have 4 good pieces. 4 on 5 will never win. Its okay to do 4 on 5, if your actively training, but it doesn't look to be the case. Plus, once those 4 get tired, your bench is easy prey for the opponent.

Your arena is nice. I'd buy 2 young Allstar+ potential 18yos with atleast Average ID and OD, and build them up, then add 2 or 3 33 YO's that have some actual skills to help fill out your roster, on the cheap.

Maybe 3-2 zone helps you in this game but probably not on the road with less effort. Sometimes the other guy just wants it more. This was a very high paced game. Make sure your stamina is up for all that running. Less effort usually results in more fouls.
The number that really jumps out of the box score is Fu Tuan Dan +/- was -15 in 17 minutes. He got worked over. Maybe train up is OD as a priority and play him at SG on defense while you're training him at PG

Yeah, I took notice of that too. I'm training him right now for OD at PG simply because it's 1 pos training so he'll pop faster (in theory). I'm reevaluating really having a trainee on my team because they just seem like a liability, it would be different if i was in V division but as you can tell in IV.25 I really shouldn't have him on the court unless it's a scrimmage. I'm thinking it might be more beneficial to buy a trainee that has some defense already on them rather than starting from scratch.

How you ask? Well... It's really REALLY simple.
He scored more points than you.

Dude this is your 3rd season on IV.25 come and check out IV.18 this is my 8th season there and we have a team that is in his 12th season and some other teams are in their 7th and 6th seasons so i can't feel sorry for you for being there for only 3 seasons. Good luck i hope your promotion comes soon and if not just enjoy the game you will promote at some point.

it just doesn't seem right to me. How can teams that are supposedly weaker than me be swimming in so much cash that they can just immediately buy the best players on the tl and upgrade their arena. then they promote and blow every1 out of the water. I dont like that because it just doesn't make sense, if a higher team coasted through their division then they shouldn't get the promotion bonus because they dont need it.

but then again maybe it's my team, I dont understand how they can foul so much when they have so much defense. I look at other top ranked teams and their salary's aren't far from mine but yet I get beaten by cheap tactics like CT.

It is called "team management" those guys know how to manage heir players and their cash unlike myself and that is why i am still in D-IV. And the reason your team fouls so much is usually low stamina and/or low game shape. I have not looked at your team but from my experience with my team that is the reasons. But these other guys on these forums are a lot smarter than i so i would look into their advice. And lighten up and enjoy the game. This game is more like a marathon than a sprint. Good luck
