if you start in d4, you have to be teh top 6% 3 times, a HUGE ask. (ignoring lucky autopromotees with great records)


You are absolutely right, but it can be done. I started mid season 4 and have won 2 championships and made the semifinals the 2 seasons in between. This season...I think that I am running a borderline playoff team.

You made me go look it up. In our league, there are 7 teams starting in season 2, 7 teams starting in season 3, and 2 starting in season 4. I'd say that at least some empirical evidence backing us up that starting earlier was an advantage.

Yea i started a little into season 3, but I didn't have too much of an idea of what I was doing.
I trained big men because thats all I had pretty much in John Marcum and Howie Brock, so I didn't have an edge per say over anybody.
But getting around season 5 or so is when I really began to pick up the peices and really dove into the mechanics of the game and how I should build my team and tactics and stuff like that.
It took me a while honestly, so really you could say I was almost like I had started in season 5 or later, but i'm still here in DII with a decently competitive team I'd say, no where near NBBA caliber though, but I'm working on it, and i think now I know how I can become that type of caliber.

I'm just not sure I will have the funds to support the salaries..

It really sucks this game is based on - enthusiasm. Plus the way they changed HCA makes it more important to win in the cup and not in league.... I hate it and would love for it to go away!

That said, you are not too far off the pace and everyone will be out of the cup within the next month. Survive as best as you can. I was in the NBBA plus a long cup run and still finished in last so we know the opposite is just as possible.

Thanks for the encouragement. But on another note I've been sent the bankruptcy notice by BB. Since no one seems to want to bid on Stephen O'Beolain it looks like I'm going to go under. Does anyone know if I automatically start up again in the USA?

All you have to do is get one guy with a bid above your Bankruptcy point(never been there don't know the #)...then you should show positive balance again.

Bummer on Bankruptcy as I was very close myself at one point in time, I had a guy that was as good as my current center, Les Flanagan, who had a similar salary ~60K. What sucks is with this game you cannot play a twin towers offense. From what I have seen you have to have good guards and a SF to do well, big guys help but are not essential WHICH SUCKS.

I feel for you and wish you luck......

I beg to differ - take a look in the NBBA. They all have twin towers - it's just the PF's can shoot too. In fact the trend seems to be 3 centers with 2 passing guards. They just are expensive.
