Spot-on yet again. I have a feeling that the Tallahassee Trees and Chewbacca will end up higher in the final rankings than they are now. Really impressed with the depth of the league this season.

I like how highly you guys rate me, but as things stand, we may not even make the playoffs! Hoping to squeak in as a 4 seed, ideally even a 3

Edit: insane how I still have the second-best PD in the Great 8, so that gives me some hope still that we've kept games close despite our injury woes

This game makes me want to murder kittens sometimes. "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" couldn't be further away from the truth. It's always been a major flaw with the game. I'm really trying to get some training minutes in this week, and there's no F-ing way my backup PG should be playing PF for the entire 4th quarter. Not in any universe.

I was also hoping to get my backups SOME minutes in the 3rd quarter. I'm playing a fast paced offense, all 5 of my starters' stamina sucks (this is intentional), and my starters played all 12 minutes in the 3rd. That should just never happen. There were 3 instances where a player tried to grab the rebound, but the ball went out of bounds. That is apparently not good enough to warrant a substitution.

The powers that be are wondering why the game is losing users. That in itself is mind boggling. Oh well...at least our players have some really cool jerseys they can wear!

They termed that jersey update as "major." That should tell you all you need to know about the trajectory of this game.

The same GE issues that plagued this game when I started in season 12 are the same issues we're dealing with now. Sometimes I'm not sure why I'm still playing this game.

What does everyone think about the new staff members? I really like the idea of a secondary trainer, but I don't have any 18-19yo players that I'm training right now. Wish he would give the whole team a boost.

I'm actually considering purchasing the sports psychologist for my playoff run.

No need at all for the nutritionist. I hate having high stamina players.

And I just pulled the trigger. Was able to get an advanced Sports Psychologist for 2k. Makes ~16k per week. Just going to keep him for the playoffs and fire him after the season. We'll see if he really makes a difference in Game Shape.

Damn, do I have to hire a second trainer just for my trainees? That's all I really use my main trainer for anyway. Not a huge fan of the new staff members so far, just because the secondary trainer seems to overcomplicate things a bit. Just my first impression though

The 3 new staff members are just optional. The Secondary Trainer only gives 18 and 19yo players an extra boost. I think that's too limited. I would seriously consider purchasing one if he gave every player a boost, regardless of age.

Totally agree. I see now that he only trains 18 and 19 year olds, and since my one trainee is about to finish his 19 year old season, that limited amount of time is not worth the ridiculous signing bonuses these guys are getting.

I think the secondary staff members are a great idea. It's only financially feasible on a regular basis for long-term or higher-level managers, but it can be affordable in spurts for lower-level managers too. This is a lot more major than the jersey update.
