Great summary as always!

Yes IF (injury or luck) I could have got through your team, there was no way I could get through JCW or Cassviile in a 3 game final. The way that they both dominated my team this season, made me feel like changing my name.
So rebuild time!

Many of the questions for the seasons have been answered. Yesterday was a boring day of games. Here are the open questions:

1. Will JCW have a chance going @ Cassville in the conference finals? (They have been saying "no", but well, that was quite the performance they put last week: it will be an exciting end).

2. How will team joust for position and who will draw the Great 8 non bot in relegation.

I'll set aside question 1 until PO time.

On question 2:

- Crows widened their lead on Bulldogs.
- It looks like the non-bot team will be Two O's, as Motorcity and Globo both are now 2 games ahead of the playoff cutoff.

As I said, he had a C/PF at PG. Probably something left over from a scrimmage for training purposes. So I'm not holding out a lot of hope. There's a reason all those NT guys want you to train OD. Good defense beats good offense.

If I had lost tonight, I would have put Sargent up for sale. The team is not in a good state financially. It's in the black after home games and in the red after financial updates. And I don't think I can sustain this for another season in D3. But as long as I'm alive in BBM, there's a reason not to sell. Next week may be a different story.

But tonight it was an OT win. 3 guys with 5 fouls at the end of the game. Going 30-34 from the line kept the other team in it. Half of the 8 FT for me came in the final seconds in OT. All 8 players who played had a positive plus/minus. Not sure I've ever seen that.

On to the sweet 16 as it were. 40K payout tonight. Still seems low considering we get 50K for knocking off bots in Cup games. Can't complain because it is needed.

Congrats on the win!

I did see the tactical snafu, but I still think your win vs. Cassville was impressive. His team's offense might have been lacking, but I don't think anyone else scored as many points as you did against his D.

I'm actually somewhat relieved to hear your financial situation is not totally sustainable. After last season, where I put every resource into a promotion push that failed in the finals rubber match, I needed a season of breathing space. Thankfully my conference's sudden weakness has helped me to go back to arena building with comfort.

So I think the relegation game structure is getting clearer.

In the Great 8, it'll be Two O's in fifth; Doctors of WI in sixth; Blacksheep in seventh.
in the Big 8, it'll be the two Cal teams going against the bots and Hoosiers going against Two O's.

It's somehow both deflating and profitable to play with so many bots in the conference.

Nearly all blowouts this Tuesday. Nothing to see until playoff time.

@Crowman: is the 2nd game on a Tuesday or a Saturday? If it's on a Saturday you're better off winning and not paying salary the next week.

Sarge. Really nice player. Hope a bid war ensues for him and you take down a large pile $$$

Good luck man.

I doubt it. I listed him for 1 million after I got eliminated from BBM. Had a few looks and a couple of people bookmarked him. I just relisted him for 250K higher just to be a jerk. But you never know.

Fabre listed for 500k and sold for over 1 million. That was a short, but sweet bidding war.

I think players become less valuable as their salaries rise. If you can afford him, you probably have developed someone as good or better than him already. There's always the hope that someone is desperate to win their league, but it's a steep price to pay.

It seems like the best way to make money is to develop young players and sell them at 21-22. They usually have low enough salaries that you can entice a drunk Italian 4th division manager to spend a lot. Or in this case, a Polish one.

I think Sargent might sell at a high price as we approach the playoffs, or with the influx of money of newly promoted teams early next season.

btw his salary is not too high for a top league team to carry, though the OD is a bit on the low side for a team that wants to compete at the highest level (with that said, not all top league teams want to compete at the top level: when I was in NBBA I went through periods where I would have 300-400k in my starting backcourt, and other periods when I'd try to do it all under 200k).
