You are correct Sir. Coach, you are a legend. You demonstrated your "legendary skills" against my Maulers in last season's Playoffs. :-)
For Nova Nation, glad you are here to stir things up a bit...but...
1/ I make more money than you with my arena (136.9K week) and my arena is at 100% capacity, which means I can expand with confidence...
2/ I have four players on my team <25 with potential of "Super Star". I have no player on my team with "Game Shape" below Respectable.
3/ I have a 19 year old on my team that I am developing for possible shot at U21 National Team. It is the primary reason I have not dipped into my substantial bank account to upgrade my perimeter players; and try to compete in the Playoffs. Trust me, I have enough money to add a PG/SG that has Hall of Fame potential. But what's the point. I would promote and have to fight to stay in Div III.x. Oh, and the reason I mention "Potential"...easy...it is the predictor of a player "reaching his income/growth peak". Example, my guy Fidel Eason Potential of "Perennial All Star" has reached his "potential/income peak". His age is 27. So, by age 30, he will be declining as a player..Now, a player with Super Star potential, he does not reach his salary/growth potential until age 32. Hmmm...
4/ And just to let you know that some of us have a plan...I currently have 52 Draft and Scouting points!!! And that number is growing. My goal is to try and find that hidden nugget in the upcoming draft; you know, the <19 player that has Super Star, or better potential. Oh yeah, that' the guy I drafted last season.... hmmmm...
And finally, I have spent six seasons in Div III; making the playoffs in one of those seasons and just missing playoffs (tiebreaker decided Playoff position; the playoff spot going to Nome White Owl) in another...
I am in Div IV for a reason, to relax, regroup, and get 2.5 mil in bank account so that I can add the players needed to make a push to Div II. Shooting for just a return to Div III will not cut it. I want to get to Div II to compete against a long time rival, Nome White Owls, the team currently leading Div II.2.
So yeah, some of us have a plan...but, not to worry, I ain't mad at ya...and in our game tonight I will not be using CT. Looking at your Team Stats, I will be playing TIE...
And I suggest you take a look at the history of Desert Riding Ski Mask, Beacon Hill Beavers and others in the Division. They are all young teams; just learning some of the "hidden" predictors that you and I now take for granted.
