Its funny because for the life of me i have always tried to figure out. Is the 4th spot in the playoffs really worth it or is the 5th spot no relegation better? Unless you think you can get an upset. If you are the 4th seed you have to pay player salaries and you only get HALF of what the home team brings in for that sold out playoff game. So if his arena isn't that big or priced right you can actually LOSE money being the 4th seed. If you are the 5th seed your players dont play a meaningful game so you dont have to pay salaries. So there are some mathematical situations where being the 5th seed in a year you dont believe you are going to make some upset playoff runs is better I believe.

I have not ever been the 5th seed in a situation where i had high player salaries but i would love to hear from someone on if they found that not paying salaries actually SAVED them more money than had they made the 1/2 income from being the 4th seed and having to fully pay player salaries. Anyone with that experience???

Yes I agree with Tatti his age is why i will only get 500k if lucky... and if he stays the entire season next year i will only get 200k at best for him. But what can happen is you get a team that has great guard play and dont need large post scoring (need more Rebounding, Shot blocking, and Inside Defense Presence). And they feel like 50k is a reasonable player salary for the final piece to a title run then you get the bid. Other than that the only other time i've seen MY centers (can't say for others) sell for 450k+ at age 32 or older is a new manger joins BB and they are just learning how the transfer wire work or has that 500k you start with and think i want a dominant Center first. and they buy him. Other than that i will be LUCKY if he sells for 450k+ which is what i would like to get for him....

But i didn't think Vic would sell when i threw him up and he went for over 425k. So you never know with BB. But Tatti is a good center had been KEY in my 3 trips to the finals. just getting old sadly.

I thought they tweaked the system so the 4th place and 5th place finishers both paid salaries just 1 week instead of both (4th)/none (5th).

If they did then that makes a huge difference. Because then clearly being 4th is huge to get some income to off set paying that week of salary. I may have just missed that update. But as this season i can easily see myself on that cuff. I figured i should know so i can decide how badly i want to fight for a bottom playoff spot or not.

wow maybe it did. Sadly i don't read those post about the updates that much. And on top of it i haven't really looked at being a 4 or 5 seed. I been thinking championship or bust.... Clearly that didn't work out for me the last couple season. lol

according to the forums, the BBs change the GE after every match just to screw with us (take the forums for what they are worth)

did you know they hide listening devices in our cheese???

I heard that.

That's why I play the safe "lactose intolerant" card.

Tonight is going to be a big experiment for my team, due to injuries. It will probably get very ugly, very fast. But I will be starting 3 U23s.

you seem to be doing alright so far
