Im kinda glad that I get to hear about how much of a burdon this tourney is on the top teams. Its our job as people that came later in the game to catch them. Not that this is economically possible. Name one champion of the NBBA who didnt start the game in D2 or better. I defy you to do this. If this is such a burdon to them it can only hurt their progression. From the sounds of it, this BBB is truly a cross for all the great teams to have to bear. Lets pray for injuries, ruined game shape and early cup exits oh my!

As much as I hate to post on global (english), I would like to point out that I started in the middle of season 2 in divison 3 and am currently in 2nd place in the NBBA's (arguably) toughest division. I doubt I will win the NBBA championship this year, but I can beat almost all of the established teams with the right tactics. I even managed to beat everybody's favorite GM in an away TV game due to his playing in the BBB and needing to conserve enthusiasm because of it.

The "Red Vipers" were as low as divison 4 and they made the playoffs in their first season. "The Fish that saved Pittsburgh" could easily be 4-2 right now if they had gotten a break or two. Heck, I was in the playoff chase last season until the last week.

Speaking of the lower divisons, just a quick look at my old divison II.4 I can see 3 teams right off the bat that could easily be competitive in the NBBA.

I'm not saying that starting early in the game for these guys didn't give them a huge advantage, I am saying that with proper long-term planning and a couple decent free agent signings, you can be competitive. It's not going to be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.

The basic strategy I used is to train up young big men, save money, and purchase high quality guards. That's all I did and I'm not even all that smart. Surely a bunch of you can do this more efficiently and effectively than I did.

I agree with this post - the game is very young now. In the next 3 seasons or so, the arms war that is the NBBA will likely start to be affected by salaries rising. The Big 8 must be the most competitive conference in the world. Red Sox Nation has a great team, and he is 1-5.

There are lots of things that can happen in the next couple seasons, and it will be fun to see how it all shakes out.

Next season the BBs can send the "invite" to partecipate to BBB,

Is this true? Is it confirmed anywhere?

No

But I will suggest to do that so all the people complaining about BBB can refuse to partecipate (because they lose money, time, players, girlfriend...) :p

I did not see anyone complaining - I think it is a great tournament.

I just did not agree that all the teams in BBB gets a huge financial benefit.

Why are you inviting the community to lob bags of urine at you?

If you win the NBBA for example, are you permanently eligible for BBB? Or what happens next season?

Steve

In future seasons, only the preceding League/Cup winners, any former B3 champions, and defending World Champion manager are invited.

I'm not worried. I'm sure being covered in urine isn't that bad. I mean, there seem to be quite a number of movies about the subject available online. Most of the ladies seemed to be very enthusiastic.
