11. Mad about Moldova Mud - Already our 7th Big 8 team here, just 11 spots in. Moldova has been stuck in a D3/D2 cycle for a while now but their Utopian team is in the top division there. Kudos to that. They're good, but if Pinero sells like I think he will they take a hit, which leads to ranking them at 11. Seems like theyll be an annoying team to play, a sneaky good team.

12. Flashover - I'm putting Flashover at 8th in the Big 8 because I assume there will be training. They've got some projects, and then they've got some veterans. They'll finish above 8th if they roll their best players out every game, but I just can't see it happening. Not sure if they'll be here next season, but now that I said that I'm sure they'll find their way into the playoffs.

13. Eggies - The Eggies enter the league as another team who bounces around from III to II. The Eggies actually dominated my league in season 35, so I have a bit of history with them. Anyway, they don't pose a huge threat right now but in a weaker Great 8 they can definitely get some wins. They're a few pieces a way from being a title threat, and I'm curious to see if they decide to be active on the Transfer List.

14. New York Jests - The Jests made some pretty big sales today and I'm guessing there could be more to come. For now, I'll put them at 14. You gotta wonder how much cash they have though, and if they're ready to catapult their way into a title contending team. Bookmark them for sure, I'm guessing this will be the biggest ranking to blow up in my face.

15. The Closers - Another team who's doing some training, and that will cost them wins. However they did just purchase Heladio Martínez, so maybe they'll keep buying and push themselves into the playoffs. Still think they're a couple seasons away from seriously competing, but wouldn't be shocked to see them back here in season 44.

16. In your face - Nobody likes to be ranked last, but I assure you this team is a very good "last place" team. They've got a big 4, and little depth. Still not an easy team to play, but I guess a little easier than everyone else. These rankings are very likely to be changed and I have a feeling these guys wont end the season at #16. For now though, that's where I see that they fit.

I'm sure there will be plenty to disagree with, this was pretty tough. There isn't any terrible team, and there's one clear favorite but I'm not sure if it'll stay that way. Good luck everyone!

Great stuff! I think you did a very good job. I'm going to feel my way around this season and decide what I need to add.

Great stuff !! Surprised to be ranked #1 &, admittedly, my team is on the older side. The NBBA is nice & I hope to be back someday, but its very competitive too; I'll enjoy a slightly more laid back Div II season. Its good to be here.

Nice Rankings, will work to make sure you were not too far off. ;)

Was hoping I would avoid other recent NBBA demotes this season. Good luck, look forward to playing against you.

We'll get schedules at LEAST by Christmas, right?

Thanks for the feedback guys! & yeah plenty of slow processes lately game 1 of the finals was like 10 hours late I’m not very surprised about the schedule delay given the money bug & the recent abundance of bugs

I love this game and will probably continue to play it until the BB's stop paying the server bills, but I really wish the constant bugs were handled a little more smoothly. Seems like it's something every year and I feel like it's causing some to get frustrated and quit.

I'd imagine the 4ish times a year that delays happen during the new season is something they can live with due to the fact that there are more processes running than usual and it's for a short timeframe but you'd think they'd be used to it by now and be able to adjust somehow.

Maybe by the time Arthur Glass is in his 50's (and still jacking up 3's), there'll be some adjustments!

I feel like it’s possible with the huge drop in users from now and a few years ago they have less staff and struggle more when bugs pop up. I just don’t get how things like game simulations aren’t running or how after 40+ seasons of promotions there’s a huge promotion error this time around. Just weird how all this still happened recently I guess. Like you said you’d imagine they’d be prepared and ready to adjust by now but I don’t think that’s really ever going to happen lol

Hey now you just made a purchase and pushed yourself out of your ranking lol. Good luck to you too this season
