I haven’t commented yet but I will do so now. The fact that I am 13-0 is not surprising to me. I actually do think in my current state that Wadsworth or Larranega could beat me and I don’t feel very comfortable about my position. I need more better players and WILL be buying more to make sure nobody can stop me. Winning the league is bare minimum I can accept. I do think it’s me and wadsworth for the conference and we will be facing Larranega in the finals. In all likelihood there be multiple promotions from this league, so it should be more open next season for Hoopers.

I will also say this league has been a lot tougher than I expected. I expected to drop down and go on cruise control for the season. I have not been able to do that. So credit to the league for that.

Ah to be honest man I’ve had this for like a year and I completely forgot about multiple promotions. I’m doing my best to balance my team right now as my older prospects are getting closer to becoming real offensive threats and I cannot play any defense for my life. I also started investing a lot of money in my stadium as my salary has dropped a ton since getting relegated from D3 2 seasons ago, I got promoted in my first season and it was completely unsustainable and I realized I needed to really build a foundation around my prospects. Also I have a general rule of thumb question, do you guys pay attention to ratings? They seem super conflicting to stats and what I would assume the players impact on the game is, but also still steadily increase as my prospects get better so it’s obviously somewhat working. Oh and with that new acquisition Pressure I am not looking forward to possibly seeing you in the finals haha

I don’t really focus much on team ratings. It’s an ok estimate of skill but there are a lot things that don’t show up in the ratings. I do look at it though for areas I can improve the team. I mean you see the difference between a team like myself and the bot Kirk Thuggins but at the end of the day you can beat teams with higher ratings. I look more at player ratings as well as their positional flexibility. Basically, how many positions they can play. As for my additions, it seems they are having the intended impact. I am surprised how good Rizzoli is playing on 5 Game Shape. I can’t wait to see what he does later. I also think Elod is going to be big boost once I fix his game shape. I have never considered ratings to be an average even if BB-Justin says so. I always viewed as cumulative since OT games always have higher rating than regulation games.
