It appears to have been a bug. All Utopia teams are being returned to their original D.IV league and then the promotion will be run again. Check the latest Announcement.


The way your guys rebounded today I half expected to see you with prominent/prolific rebounding. Scary weird. I didn't expect to be competitive this game anyhow, but it was odd all around - your rebounding was way above normal but you also got called for fouls the first three quarters whenever any fan sneezed.

Don't really know how to explain the rebounding myself, particular my backup SG getting 12 when the position was actually defending your PF. The defensive switch was based on Paju, but he barely played due to the foul problems you mentioned. Although 11 pts 14 rebs in just 16 minutes of play is very nice.
Given this was a week I thought I could easily go 0-2 in league play, I'm happy to already have made my goal of 1 win.
Two more forfeits in the league today. This makes three for Penatratory, so he's quickly losing draft spots. I was going to wonder if Big Red didn't just get caught by the early game time, but since it was his home game, that doesn't make sense.

Looks like GayaSun and I will both be here again next season, barring an extremely improbable continuation to a playoff run for me that's already one game longer than I expected. Of course, I'll have almost the same roster again and GayaSun may well have switched his roster out twice by then, profiting another million dollars.

Turned out to not be too easy, but I couldn't steal a win against a better team two games in a row I guess.

For some reason I'm actually enjoying being a playoff team without spending much over the salary floor. Still not sure what I'm going to do with my mediocre trainees, though.

Is there anybody out there?

It's my first season in Utopia, so I'm kinda behind most of other teams in terms of arena, roster - but doing my best to catch up with you guys.

Oh, I forgot how expensive the arena is to build... How you manage to get 14k merchandise (on avarage) U21 players, homegrown? My youngsters can get to U21, but in 3 years time...

Regards and have fun!

Welcome! No, nobody is here. ;)

Luckily I'm not taking Utopia too seriously. I'm sort of slow-training a bunch of middle potential guys but not really doing anything all that effective as yet. I just wanted to play around with a different type of player than I have on my primary team and so I've just been aiming to do as good as I can and still make a lot of money, and someday promote high enough to have an arena with more lower tier seats than bleachers.

If you keep your players for a few seasons you should get the merchandise up with team success. I'm only at 15k merchandise myself, but my salaries are low. The main things are that if you keep your player salaries down and still be competitive, you'll be making more money than you can reasonably do anything with for a while. Of course, the more common thing to do is take that money and buy better players, but that's not as much fun. ;)

Good luck the rest of the season, except next Tuesday. ;)

I am ready and waiting for Tuesday :).

For the time being I am surprised with my lack of luck in cup draws and even more surprised with how far I've managed to fight there.

Merchandise is slowly growing (for a 51k salary team), the results are ok in terms of quality/price.

I never had a player over 34 - I am surprised with how fast their skills drop - I got already 4 drops for my 35 years old PG...:/ I've expected something like 5-6 drops per season..

Nevertheless with a bunch of 18-19 year old players I should be more competitive while the season will progress.

Let there be no injuries on Tuesday!:)

Well, there was a scare with Santos getting injured but it looks like he's healthy after the match so that's a good thing. I didn't watch much of it but I saw your team went on a 22-5 streak to turn a game that looked like a blowout into one that was really close until the last minute foul parade (and my Utopia team, unlike my primary, is not as good at FT shooting as I'd like).

Skill drops are not fun. My primary team I had a 33 year old guard that I've had since he was 18 drop one level in JS the first week and then two levels in OD the second week. I'm going to be facing a lot of that soon, too, since I've got a couple more 33 year olds and most of my original trainees are getting close to that age now. Here, on the other hand, nobody I care about is close to 33 so while they're not that good, they won't be getting worse at least.

Good luck the rest of the season!
