im actually slugging it out and will have my 3rd straight season in d2 over there. i have the game pretty well figured out. i think the new match engine is a real challenge, as is the ya system (which is pretty mediocre), but the community there overall is much stronger

What the hell, you guys are slipping. We've made it two games into the season, and nobody has bothered to hypothesize who might win the league? For shame.

Favorites to win the Big 8:
Hoosiers, Jests*

Favorites to win the Great 8:
Hobos, Quakers

Finals:
Methinks Hobos finally wins the whole shebang.

Favorites to make impressive Tournament runs:
TF
SBCT
Riverdogs
PBS

Favorites to spend next season in III:
Contortionists
about 5 other teams


* - Dependent upon how many more games they drop while Amorrortu is injured, and what they do with the 50k twins

If I can win the Big 8 with 2 18 year olds in the rotation....I'd be shocked to say the least.

Can't afford the twins and really don't have a roster spot for them with Amorrortu and Gipson starting. They are also overpriced but NO ONE WILL BUY THEM for a reasonable price.

Well someone just got a steal in my opinion. 20 ppg guard for $1.5 million. I would have "bought" him myself but the internetz imploded. At least now I can safely say I won't be bankrupt in 2 weeks.

I think the new salary update has really skewwed things. I'm not seeing a lot of people getting bid up besides rookies. I don't get why it would be a better idea to pay $2m for a rookie than $2m for a proven vet unless you are rebuilding.

If you look you see a lot of people fishing for high bids but I think the updated salary calculation has made people wary of buying high priced players. The old mindset of this player is worth $X, I'm not paying $Y for him is no longer the prevailing wisdom.

I just shed $50k of salary and I still have the highest payroll in the league. Sheesh. This is unsustainable.

And yeah that was 3 straight posts. So what?

Sucks to hear about the market, I'm hoping it's just the timing where everyone is basically looking for trainees. But I have a bad feeling it isn't (You always have a bad feeling Frost - non Disney reference for ya).

Especially given that I"ll be off loading a bunch of players at the end of this season. Only my 3 guard trainees and some scrubs will survive the purge.

Here's a question. Obviously it's up to you if you wish to divulge, but do you find it better if you set a minimum price on a player for transfer,or just put the initial price at 0 (or 1000, w/e it is)? I've always gone with the price at 0 as to get more interest from a larger pool of players. It seems that when I put in a min price, I over value players, or they just don't sell for what i perceive their value being. Anyone care to share?

Also, I'll throw up some predictions later, maybe tomorrow. today I have too many errands to run. Guess I'll start with everyone winning in the tournament later tonight. This is very much a blind one w/o looking at any other matchup then mine.

I tend to list for a min. price a couple times and then go the $0 route. I think it is hit or miss with either one and I have to pay attention more to the $0 method.

I was actually looking at them early this morning, and Nandino was at $22k with less than four hours to go.

So, this begs the question: What do you consider a "reasonable price" for what seemed to me to be rather mono-skilled, high-salary guards? It's fine if they can drop in 20ppg, but if they can't stop their opponents from doing the same, you're not really gaining anything. Plus, you're paying $50k+ a week for him.
