Hey all. We have a lot of new teams in this division, which is great! I also have a new team, but this is not my first BB squad, as I ran one from seasons 8 - 27. If you have questions about the game, or if I can be of any help, please let me know, whether by asking a question in the forum that could be a help to all, or sending me a message directly.

Duke... What are your plans for the future? I did some calculations.... And your average player age is 28... and thats kinda old if your going to continue with the same squad. Lots of skills drops next season. Thats not acceptable in IV, tried it on my old squad. Went from 9-1 to 12-10 after my old guys kept losing skill... Unless you got a lot of cash stocked up. It might be hard to make it to III, many years of struggle..., So again, what are your plans for the future?

1. Get to IV. I think that the Bad Sequels are probably favorites to win, but there's still a chance I could sneak by.
2. Assuming promotion, I'll phase out the veterans next season, probably mid season. I currently have three trainees that are not too far behind my veterans, so the transition would be gradual.
3. I would take the promotion bonus and Cup revenue and invest primarily in arena growth. Arena growth is really, really important.
4. Next season I'd shoot for a 5th seed, stockpiling scouting points (I have a decent number already) and drafting a serviceable trainee, (all-star potential +).

I've been in III twice before with my previous squad, and getting out of IV is not as hard as you think, given the slimming down of the BB world.

What about you? What's your longterm plan?

Wow, that was an intense game... Down 13 heading into the 4th... and we take the lead with 4 minutes left.... and classic buzzerbeater, my team goes stone cold. I guess I've got another season down here, unless I get lucky and promote. Going to keep the same core, unless I promote. If I get to IV, I'm going to train 2 true SFs, considering they are crazy expensive, might as well train my own. I wouldn't mind getting demoted at the point. That should take 3 seasons or so, at that point, I should have a big arena, and a nice pile of money in my possession. So, then I'm going to get players 26>, with good skills, somewhere between 15-25k to get my starting line-up. Now, I'm not sure if I will keep both of my SFs, if not one of them might go for 500k or more, expand more of my arena, So in season 33 or 34 I should be crowned champion of my IV league.

Good game. Hopefully we all auto promote by bot replacement anyway. Like Duke this is my second go around in BB, I played for a bunch of seasons and won the cup once, was NT coach S15-16 if anyone remembers back then. This time around I'm just trying to train an American player for the NT/U21 if I can find a good one.

GL to the Bad Sequels and Mattakeunk Moose. I think that Mattakeunk Moose will come away with the win today, but I think the 3 of us promote :^)

I'd be content with that.

I agree with the promotion prediction as well.
