IMHO injuries should be removed from the game. I’ve lost second important player and I see you have lost your second at the same time than the greek freak. It needs a lot of seasons to plan when to fight for the trophy and something random can’t affect that much. I wanted to at least fight dor the tournament, what its impossible now. Two seasons ago, in my country, I had a big chance to be the winner but at the beginning of the Poff, three of my starting lineup were out injured. Dont know if I will have a chance again, maybe after 10-12 seasons saving, training...

Mate, I enjoyed our game more than my BBB final. I sent the link to many fellas and we were all having a laugh with it.

Thanks. This must have been implemented to stop tanking. I assume you can offset this a little by lowering ticket prices, having a team below the salary floor, and the benefit of the 1st draft pick.

Good to know if I ever need to tank my main team. I don't think I'll ever bother tanking my Utopia team. I'd likely just stop paying for it rather than doing a 2-5 season reset.


I personally needed to take a break - I've been competing at the highest level for many seasons. It's quite stressful to spend 5-6 seasons knowing that you can't lose a single game. For example, any mistake in the Cup in the last 2 seasons would have meant that I would have needed to sell all team or go into bankruptcy...

Now I just want to help our NT and build up some other young prospects, so I don't mind tanking - I am making 300k per week. In the meanwhile, I am finishing my trainees in the 1st team and will try to make history and also win BBB there. This game is just sooooo fun.

Your success is very impressive. What build types do you try to accomplish with your trainees? In my main team, I have a couple who are MVPs but are maxing out at around 135 TSP. More SG-SF type builds. I've had trouble building a supreme PF though.

300k per week? How much do you get from the merchandising?


85k from the merchandising. 580-590k from attendance incomes thanks to the titles. Now it is starting to drop a bit (562k in the last game) because of the losses.

I've tried so many build types... Not only in my teams but in teams with good U21 or NT prospects. I've been part of the Spain U21 staff for 8 seasons (we won 5 gold medals in a row) and the NT staff for 2 seasons (WC champions in S40), so I've helped develop hundreds of players in the last 15 seasons. The U21 and NT success was 100% based on trying to optimise training, exploring in depth the elastic effect for all skills, and all that stuff. We have folders with tons of information about particular interesting cases that we observed in some experiments done with NT and U21 prospects... Thanks to that, we've taken for example MVPs up to 140-145 TSP and different interesting offensive profiles.

In my first team, I'm planning to finish the three trainees at around 145 TSP (one SG, one PG and one SF) and buy a couple of strong inside players to fight for BBB soon.

But in general, I have good formulas for building any kind of inside or outside (or balanced), offensive or defensive (or balanced) players. So if any of you wants to discuss something related to training, just drop me a bbmail!
