Well anyways, good game! I realized planning for the game you straight up have the better team and I was pretty boned. Tried to swing for the fence with GDP but that didn't work out much.

I love it when BB adds new stats and one in particular from this new batch stood out; the all-time wins per season in the NBBA. I'm not including this season which will obviously change the stats, but in order for Eugene to drop to second in this list he'd need to go winless not just once, but for two seasons. His consistency is phenomenal (can pop to colossal with another good season or two).

1 Eugene Register-Guard 17.14 14 seasons total
2 Chicago Bulls 15.06 17 seasons total
3 Ice Storm BC 14.64 14 seasons total
4 King Drive Ballers 14.38 21 seasons total
5 High Point Heroes 14.33 12 seasons total

that's kinda neat, from my perspective, but gotta remember people achieve what is measured. i wonder what would turn up if there was a measure of "national team players trained" -- i certainly would not be on that list!

i am lucky 'cause many managers don't have the patience with managing decline -- i hope Coach Shnuffy and Bob hold to their word and tank next season! -- and notice i rank low on the trophy list, and none of my teams would be on the all-time greatest list (unlike some KDB or Upsyndrome squads).

indeed, my only goal now is chasing the Bulls, sorta the opposite of Pamplona. i can't see another five seasons in the NBBA to catch KDB.

FWIW, i think the playoffs in the Big 8 should be very competitive. Both the Dogs and Irvine are scary, even if they will be on the road, and they will have a week to prepare after the Cup. HCA is a great thing to have, and Bananahorn's road to the finals looks to be a bit easier, giving him an advantage in ENTH, so it appears Coach Shnuffy is perched in the captain's seat.

does adding a 33yo qualify as a youth movement for your squad?

That's their new ballboy. Seriously, you think Hassan would put someone that inexperienced on the court?

I found that list interesting in seeing that many of the newer NBBA teams are from season 19, but none from after that season yet. The takeaway being that these days it takes well managed teams 20 seasons to get to the top league in this game. Which is 5 literal years.

Good point.

the thing i've noticed is that new teams rarely are the powerhouses they were 10, 12 seasons ago. once upon a time, promotion teams could very well win the NBBA title in their second season. (Upsyndrome, Golden Horde; Tucumcari took two seasons) Tar Team may have set the pattern now: promote, spend a season here, go back to DII, then return, reloaded and more powerful. The SF and GS Warriors may be on the verge of doing the same thing. with TL prices being what they are, and training taking a geological age, i think it is really hard to build a superior, long-lasting team, a dynasty.

The salary floor hikes in s34 and s37 along with the loss of the cheap TL prices of the seasons 20s may have put a damper on this golden age of playing everything right to make a powerhouse team. Tanking still can happen, but it isn't near as effective as it used to be. I suspect my experience isn't unusual where by the time you get/train the right players and get that NBBA promotion those players are 1-3 seasons away from skill losses, you have no money left in the bank to adjust anything, and your players are worth half of what a younger replacement costs.

(Would like to point out I had to look up when those salary floor raises were. I'm nerdy for this game, but not that nerdy.)

(Would also like to point out that I would have likely promoted to NBBA in s32 except I had the fortune to match up against an ascendant Upsyndrome in the DII finals.)

(Have I mentioned I hate Upsyndrome?)
