I trained Bigs my entire time during my first run from 08-2010. My philosophy, just from a general basic basketball knowledge was that if I controlled the boards, I would win games so I did nothing but team rebounding, and eventually, C/PF rebounding once I got my act together. When I came back this time, I did the same thing. Bigs training, but now I am focusing on more hybrid styles. Giving the bigs more skills to play with to hopefully make some cash in the future. Wiser in my older years, but still stubborn in my ways of wanting to focus a team around a big, beefy center lol.

Absolutely shitting the bed this season lol. I hope when I relegate back down to the lower levels, it's at least as active as this one. It's fun to be able to talk to other players.

Chiefers sending a message with that game, sheesh...

Haha that felt good. And a 2 game lead is nice. I have a fairly difficult Cup game this week tho and I see some folks with computerized opponents. RIP my game shape next week.

Yes, it is, makes the game so much more interesting when you have some kind of rapport with the other players. You have Definity been active. When a team gets pushed into DIII as quickly as yours did, it is inevitable you will get knocked around some, at least you are not panicked and going into severe debt trying to hire journeymen to make you competitive in the short run. Keep doing what you are doing and next time you get to DIII your team will be competitive. Meantime just have fun, try new things, train your guys, and learn from what some of the better teams are doing. DIV leagues are rarely active, usually full of bots, so focus on the threads and you can learn a lot. Cheers.

They look intimidating. I have them Saturday night and my guys are all over the place. One game they are firing on all cylinders, and two days struggle with a bot team, its crazy. Im surprised he handled you that way, but he does have a brutal starting 5.

I always play my B team in the cup, unless it's a rebuilding year and then I will sacrifice a league game to stay in the tourney, but I hope you don't do that, because I need all your guys to be at 7 GS when we play Saturday, lol.

Nah, not too panicked. I am trying to sign some better players, but they keep getting snatched up from me very last minute lol. I do have a budget i've imposed on myself though to not try and get into debt. Trying to find one more player for cheap, then i'm probably going to do Arena upgrades and focus on the draft for the rest of the season. Hopefully, training this year will give me a few guys that i'll be able to sell on for some cash.

Sometimes I just don't get the game engine... My worst player took 26 shots this last cup game, I started him explicitly thinking his profile would make him 4th in the pecking order LOL...

No doubt. He probably had someone with bad OD guarding him, the GE loves to go after low OD, but who really knows, because as you said, its all over the place.
