I fell just short of auto promotion with the two losses. But managed to be second in line for auto promotion, so if Deronimo II.4 were to win his league title, I'd auto promote.

In the playoffs ... I'll be a non-factor. I too put myself in a difficult financial spot to try to get auto promo (mismanaging the game against SK, plus an injury really screwed up the intended plan), so I knew I couldn't hold on to my team through the playoff (plus some guys had too many drops and weren't effective anymore).

Looks like it was me who knocked you out of that top promotion spot. Sorry about that. I wasn't expecting LI to be that effective given the changes to the GE/tactics.

Over a real-life decade playing this game I've only ever had more than that amount in my bankroll for maybe 3-4 weeks before I spent it on the $4M arena and trainees. Sigh...

Heh no need to be sorry! You play to achieve your goals! I thought about BB-mailing you but I thought that begging other managers to let me win so I could auto promote was obviously unbecoming and unsportsmanlike, even if the other manager had nothing at stake.

You actually surprised me with the LI... I had planned to receive an outside offense, and went a little overboard with the 1-3-1 defense. But I went overboard because I had used up too much enthusiasm in the run-up to this game.

In fact, losing the SK game was more consequential for my plans than losing to you. For one thing my enthusiasm was still high then, for another it was tactically an easier matchup for me. In fact, my plan had been to get to the game vs. you undefeated, then punt vs you so I could recover tenth, and CT the last game (as I did anyway). The narrow loss to SK tossed a big fat wrench in this plan.

At least you had the courage to save for the 4m arena.. I cheaped out at 1 or 2, but will probably play this game for as long as it's around. I think between two accounts I'm coming up on 20 years aside from a 3 month gap..which led to the 2nd account.

For the entertainment the $40 is worth it every year!

After you destroyed every team including at their arenas it would have been sad to see you lose at home! Anyway, go Deronimo! You have in me your biggest fan

Honestly I bought it after they started showing the breakdown of the merchandising income and I saw big fat $0's under arena and merchandise store. I had to sell everything to do it, but since I was planning to relegate from the NBBA and rebuild anyways, it all worked out.

Nice work last night. Without meaning to take away from your strategy and victory, I was really frustrated with the ME last night. That was frustrating to watch. After shooting 80% from the free throw lines all night, my guys went 1-6 in the last minute of overtime and your guys kept fighting hard. Hamdan, who threw up two bricks from the line with about 30 seconds to go, has proficient FT skill and tremendous experience.....

But you have a tough team and the ME certainly chose a great team to grant the victory to. This weekend will be fun!

Felt like the game engine just felt bad for me or something. Two buzzerbeaters after being down by like 6 or so in the final minute is something else. But now you have HC and the enthusiasm advantage, so I'm doubting my chances, but it should be fun for the final two games. Good luck!
