Oh, just wondering, how was the experience in season 38 in our league and season 39 in division 3? I believe you tanked in our league 2 seasons ago. Just want to hear your experience, as I may do the same for high end prospects and prospect training.

I have tried the tank and regretted it. There may be 1, 2 if you're lucky, players in the draft worth tanking for and it looks like you may have some competition in the tank efforts. On the other hand, I am very much going for promotion this season, as I assume a few other teams are as well. My recommendation would be try to keep as low a salary you can while training and trying to pick up enough games to either make playoffs or have a substantial advantage in the relegation series.

Thanks for telling me about your experience with tanking. However, if I have to choose between competing and financial incentive, I'll choose financial incentive as even if I do promote, I would lack cash funds to compete in Naismith. I'll have to see if my players sell for a lot first (and a few more tries on the market). If they don't, I may swing for competing and sell rotation players, cutting my depth chart.

Tanking or not tanking both have their merits, but I would say if you're not going for promotion, then you should either be making alot of money or training up good players (or both). Without these things, progress is tough and slow to come by.

Alright, I'll make sure to aim for both (:

Falconer is a beast. His ratings have been really impressive.

Thank you ! He has really improved in the past 2-3 seasons with training. I wanted to pump up PA a little more but he has reached his 100% limit on BB-Manager. I'm not to sure if this is accurate, but it's fine with me. This means I get to train my big's and focus on Dylan Badham and Brent Malbury making U21 in 3-4 seasons.

I have a little message for Shoalinhood, if you ever read forums... Anyway's I always get lucky against you ! In the past 3-4 games we've played one of your starters have gotten hurt in the first quarter and I just key in on your back-up

Chris,
THE ELITES
