Hey guys!

Sorry to see Japan waste away - I always followed the country for a bit and hoped to play in this league one day... Well we got Utopia now...

The sun rises in the east - unfortunately it goes down in the west.

Everyone's falling by the wayside. My interest's waning too, and I think even Brutus is sick of this.

No, not sick of it. I'll be around for a while. Just been busy and facing the need to start rebuilding soon while I can still get some value for guys in the market. I do wish we could do something to make it more competitive though. I'm all for the consolidation if they ever decide to go through with it.

What is sad is that you and Brutus can't leave. he donated and you just got re-elected. for myself, I am going to sell off at the end of the cup and put my training on 1 on 1 for Togo and Ezaki. And I am gone.

I can't even remember to set line-ups.
edit: for my team. The U21s are ok.

it's bullshit!!!

Let's take a look:

DMI: I'm not a believer that DMI will tell you everything but I know some people around here believe in it strongly. I think it does give you a general sense of the combination of primaries + GS impact. It is at least a good point of comparison.
Himachies top 5: 1,216,800 464,000 362,800 347,300 161,700
NewStar top 5: 1,292,500 806,000 484,600 410,500 173,400

Let's compare two more things for the same 5 guys in the same order.

Salary:
Himachies: $191,456 $81,559 $94,255 $62,264 $16,955
NewStar: $87,828 $44,989 $82,165 $43,186 $19,841

Game Shape:
Himachies: 7 7 5 7 8
NewStar: 9 9 7 8 8

Assuming that higher salary is an indication of higher skills, New star has offset Himachies skill advantage by having better Game Shapes to gain a small DMI advantage.

Then add to that a couple other factors.
- New Star was the home team so gets home court advantage
- New Star put more effort into the game giving them a little more advantage
- New Star picked wrong on both Game Day Prep items. which would offset the above to some extent.

So, this outcome doesn't seem wrong at all. You made two mistakes. 1) Letting your game shape slip and 2) Not recognizing your were coming in weak and assumed you would win automatically, letting him put in more effort.

Thanks Brutus but i already knew them. Despite everything, there is a big difference between the two teams. I was shocked when I saw the result. :)

My last cup game!!! I will use this opportunity to protest the shit in this game I hate.

1. 50-0 or I set a line up.....either way...I get nothing. You lose in the cup final and you get nothing. people have been bitching about this forever.
2. BC Toroos= a class act....Sharman and the new Sharman...NOT
After BC Toroos won his first BB3 championship( A free pass to the BB3)....he no longer felt the need to win the cup so he stopped trying after the sweet 16 round and in turn, it actually showcased what OTHER good teams there were in Canada. It also gave the country another team to root for on Wednesday nights. the Sharman effect. Now the Brutus effect. If teams can't progress in the game they quit. And maybe you want to play 22 bot games so you can add to the win tally on your team page but is it really good for Japan? And before you talk shit about me..I have always had class. The two times I won the cup, I didn't try to win the league even knowing I had a decent team that could have won the double. If teams can't get to the BB3, then there in no light at the end of the tunnel. And teams quit. I am quitting because this game is stuck in 2010. No App and they still have text in the game engine. that is sad.
3. Micro nations, Donations, and all the other BS
They had the chance to keep a lot of micro nation managers...all they had to do was merge the small nations.
the donations are a joke...When I first saw the game ad on a NBA site and again on Roto world, I clicked and started playing. That was a long time ago. Where are the ads now?...Please tell me what site so I can see if they are there. I go to basketball sites and see no BB ads. I don't think there is any ads. I think it is PAY for Favors. It is no coincidence that the top 7 teams in the BB3 right now are supporters or teams who have donated. I also find it interesting that after you speak of BB negatively, your team all of a sudden has a really bad game or horrible attendance. believe me..I am not the only one that thinks so.
So....I will be giving a 50-0 tomorrow. Sorry if people wanted to watch it but....like I said. A loss is $0 and a blow out loss is $0. So why play it?

Basically you're crying and quitting because you can't win. You aren't winning because you're not building a strong enough team. I've seen the players you buy and you've never been willing to invest in players that will really make you a top tier team. You've been playing this game much longer than me and should have built up plenty of resources to put together an elite set of players. You shouldn't ever expect someone to let you win. That's not how sports work. You need to look inside yourself and your own team on how to get better. My time at the top will have to come to an end soon enough as I rebuild my team, take advantage of that and show what you can do.

hahahahahahahaha!!! I have never tanked or had to rebuild. Just because you call tanking and saving money a smart decision, that isn't for me. And why are you still playing in japan? You don't even live here anymore. It is obvious to tell when you post(3am) and how you are never on at game time.
And for you to call BB a sport....hahahahahahahahaha
It is a bunch of 1 and 0s that can be manipulated by anyone with the code. A sport...damn man, that was a pretty stupid comment.
And I have always done what is best for the Japan community. What you call GIVING SOMEONE A WIN, I CALL THAT A COMPROMISE. I would rather try and save the japanese community from being a bot wasteland. And if that is me, after I won the cup, letting someone else win. Then so be it.
Why do you think Miyazaki quit? I really don't think it was because he got busy. I think he got sick of finishing in 2nd just to watch you sell old players for 4 milllion plus.
Rebuild? You don't have time for that. This game is on it's last leg. they are throwing money at it but no new users are joining. And pretty soon japan will be 3 users and bots....That isn't my definition of fun.
Enjoy. Maeda is 121 points behind Asano for my all time scoring record. when that happens I am gone. I will put Togo on OD training and leave the game like Wolph, Miyazaki and the host of others. This ship is sinking and I am not the captain.
