Has anyone noticed the inflated prices of players over the past couple seasons? I've sold players for more than what I purchased them for when they've only gotten older and should have depreciated in value. Acquiring new players at good value has been difficult as well. My suspicion is that the addition of the utopia teams meant more competitive teams fighting over a smaller amount of skilled players. This increase in demand has me wanting to sell my team for absurd cash and train players until the inflation bubble bursts. Or at least I hope it bursts after a few utopia drafts brings the supply back up. Thoughts?

Well, he did the right thing CTing me. He would've had a chance to win had not one of his players gotten hurt (& maybe gotten a break his way). I was ready to play normal ... until I noticed that his team salary was 1/2 of mine ...

I guess his plan was to try & stay in the NBBA. If he would've beaten me, he would've had a fighting chance at the 6th seed & a matchup vs. Rocket Science, who SEEM to be asleep at the wheel (I hope that comment doesn't come back to haunt me)

- I'm talking about Kurgans, of course ...

The CT versus Delta was a last ditch to have a chance to stay up which was the correct strategic play but it was not enough. The second CT was for no reason other than I have never done 2 back to back and I wanted to take this opportunity to see how it would play out. I am keeping a below minimum payroll so I have no true hope of staying up. I am just going to ride my team trained guys down and save up some money.

All NBBA? I hope so

As the #1 team in the country, who do you think will win ??

What is a Eugene Register Guard, anyway? What registers are you guarding (in Eugene, OR) ??

Crack away. Hit the Pipe. Ring your Bell.

Delta 9 is beatable. I think you have a decent chance ...

i don't know about that #1 stuff, not with Tucumcari playing so well and TnT laying low in the grass. (feeling pretty dumb, too: took me awhile to figure out why the Chargers trotted out their starters tonight, or why TnT played the unusual lineup against In Your Face)

but since you've asked, and since the Stags already have their bulletin board material, on a neutral court, i don't see how you lose.

good luck.

the market is subtle, and in hindsight, rational. you made this comment during the height of the feeding frenzy as teams looked to buttress their squads in time for the playoffs. (i was looking at this time, as well.) i have noticed a near collapse in demand since Monday -- i figure owners have either spent themselves broke or figure decent game shape can not be achieved by playoff time -- this is the voice of experience speaking, as i wildly overpaid for my last player.

anyway: note to self -- last week of season good time to buy if rebuilding for next season (which i more or less am doing).

Thx to The South Stags for an honest appraisal. I do believe that I learned a thing or two.

Good luck. I don't say that because I think you need it, but rather because, with a break or two, you could win.
