Thank you for sharing your experience to us.

I use two teams as my model teams: Liberty and Power in NBBA and USA Elite in DII.4.
Liberty and Power started in season 12, had promoted from DIV to DI just in four continuous seasons and never relegated. He never stop just because of saving money or waiting for any trainees grow up.

USA Elite is famous in his super low-salary rosters (~$250K in total) to dominate in the toughest DII league.

Thus, I believe there are many ways to manage the team instead of waiting.
Also, all the BB team owners are training trainees. So I will not expect too much for having a better trainee than others.
However, I think to find good players at correct price, and how to balance your starters and reserves are more important things in this game. And I am still learning it.

One thing that happened during the seasons I wasn't paying close attention was that the game changed significantly. After about season 11 or 12, it probably wasn't until 20 or 21 before I started paying much attention again. I imagine I should look more at how some of the other teams have done it.

Indeed.

If I were you, I might be able to making 180K per week just simply adjust the ticket price. You arena is empty so you actually do not maximize your income.
Second, the minimal salary in this league is $96699 but your team salary is only $82676. It means you waste $15K salary to improve your team to win as many games as possible. To win any one more game will help you earn ~10K ticket in your case.
Third, even you decide to make a run and win the rest of the games. 8 wins will not push you to the playoffs and you will immediately lost your 157K per week so I assume there is no point you want to do this , unless you are sure that spending 640K to buy a good player or two so-so players can help you stay in the league.

It is not offence but just give you some friendly suggestion.

Agree.
Playing BB game is just like look the war history. New tactics and management theories are developed season by season. Managers need to keep updated and knowing how to respond those tactics.

One thing you might interested is Look-Inside will not dominate as what it is now. People who build their teams as LI only might suffer a lot starting from the next season. My next cup opponent silverbacks, the #1 and current NBBA champion, already demonstrates some important thing: his team is a R&G and Motion-based team that crashes all the LI teams in NBBA. Players who have high JP or block skills will be expensive soon. All of this will push managers to build R&G, Princeton, Motion, or PTB-based teams. You might want to purchase those kinds of players now.

Ooohh... If I hadn't had two guards get injured right at the playoffs in season 19 http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/11/overview.aspx?Seaso... that may have been a different story. I was the favorite that year, and had plans of shooting straight up like L&P did the next season.

Still a sore spot.

Not to mention that I still think Natellio is the best manager in the league.
Usually, managers who are willing to write the power rankings are the best managers among the all. They spend more time in the game, closely analyze all the teams weekly, and know the pros and cons of each team.

As he has better bigs than mine, I assume he will upgrade his backcourt pairs in order to against my stronger guards, one from the money he saved and the other from the PG he is selling. Then he will have a perfect 8-men rotation. His determination can be easily seen as the way he ended his cup game last week.

For me, it is really interesting to have such a great player here, and I look forward our game on Saturday as well.

Haha I was joking bro ;) I'm not going to make a run nor am I going to waste any of my money. I am aware of my arena situation and was actually planning on switching it to lower prices this last weekend but forgot about it, so thank you! As for adding a player worth 15k to my roster, I may or may not do, because he needs to be a USA player, a player i will use next season, and valuable to my team. I'm not just going to buy some random guy. I appreciate all of you friendly suggestions.

Yeah, I did get that about LI offenses. One of the reasons I've been training guards so long now is that I got burnt by a few of the game changes. I reasoned that the LI bias was well documented enough that it'd get corrected.

Probably I can not agree with you.

1. In season 19 you put more effort in the interleague game against him and just won 2 points. Based on his ability, he should made some adjustment before the playoffs.

2. I don't think he was just very lucky to "continuously" won three championships in a row. And, again, he never relegate and directly won the championship in the newbie seasons, unlike you and me who failed in the upper level when we first-time reached to DII. The managing ability between he and me definitely is a A+ comparing to a C.

3. In such an unique one, of course he had never been considered as a favorite team in any leagues he attended because no traditional way can evaluate his team's strength, and especially his managing abilities.

Personally I do not know him and I never communicate with him. However, he is a LEGEND in the whole BB history, without any questions.

You, sir, are too kind. However, do not mistake an ability and hobby of analysis for an ability to apply said analysis. Haha.

Our league was absurdly stacked that season.

You've got Chek, currently 12-3 in D2.
The Traptors, 9-6 in D2.
L & P, 8-7 in the NBBA.
And Swanson, 7-8 in Chek's league.

Not to mention me and smedlock were around, and stalzag hadn't decided to tank yet. Crazy.

This season is maybe the toughest since then though. My roster this season is far and away the best I've had, but still probably not the best in the league, despite what Dino would have you believe.
