Im almost identical to Visionaries.....$300k+


Awesome, thanks guys.

Wanted to see how it compares to my team, which, without the big-man (which I'll buy eventually) i have a decent pay-roll, largest arena income in the US, and.....with cup AND a BBB win, i can make $210k a week





suck it.

So a team that hasn't logged in for 2 weeks and has only dressed 2 all season long suddenly dresses the entire team and CTs me? I randomly set a lineup of scrubs just in case something wonky happened so my starters wouldn't get too many minutes because I sold off and am running only a 6 man rotation. At least I get the loss, worse PD, but ya''ll get a fair warning and can't be caught off guard now....

That's really weird, because he hasn't logged in. It must have been set in advance? Did you have a run-in sometime???

That's the first game we have ever played against each other.

I'd guess there are a variety of factors that go into the rankings not unlike these:

-win % last 5 yrs
-% of seasons making the playoffs
-% of last 10 seasons making the playoffs
-number of consecutive seasons making it to at least round 4 in the cup
- win % since inception
- # of seasons since last demotion (if ever)
- average cup performance (in terms of average round advanced to)
-number of consecutive seasons without a losing record
- number of consecutive seasons without having to play in a relegation series
-% of seasons with a winning record
etc. etc.

Look at you, already scouting your opponents for next season! ;)

I don't know how far back the ranking stuff goes, but I also know that playoff wins seem to factor into it heavily. That, and of course I think that the ranking algorithm picks a "companion team" that you're fairly similar to and ensures that you're always at least one spot behind them, at least in my experience. ;)

Yes, I suppose playoff wins would be important too.

I wasn't really scouting and I'm far from sure of advancing, but it sure is nice to see the NBBA at its weakest in years. I often check in to see how recent League II.4 promotees are doing and was surprised to see Technical Fouls off to such a fine start (and it easily could've been 5-0). 10" Vert is always really good and I imagine AZ Desert Storm has a plan.

Currently, I'm scouting you

Yeah, lathrop doing well is not surprising at all, except maybe I suppose to the "2-3 is completely broken" crowd on the global forum given how frequently he's run it.

As far as scouting goes, all I can disclose at this time is that we've held a meeting of the team's fan club and let them know they were idiots for making your team our rival. We're currently research the effectiveness of a 4-6 zone and four corner offense in practice recently, so if we can come to arrangements with the officiating crew, maybe we can squeak out a 13-8 win.
