It's a shame all the good teams are on one side of the bracket. I feel as if any of me, Navajo post-purchases, or divine were on the other side, we'd be running away with it.

Gotta find some way to ruin the defense that Ixlos has or just TIE.

G8 has only had the moxie for 2 seasons. It's because the 2 of the last 3 promotions were from the B8. The third power on that side were called the tootsies, they botted out. ATL Pacers were the up and comer and they got zapped in the first game of the finals last year for cheating. He still messages me, he's down in D5 now. First time in 4 seasons for him, as he spawned in D4.

LOL yeah they prolly played him too much. He was injured maybe once if that.

Yeah the G8's usually been weaker since I've been here but this season and the last it's been no contest between the divisions. Sadness... It will switch in a couple season again of course but it's still quite the wait.

I think a big part of the shift is that when teams have promoted to D3 their slots have either been filled by a D3 demotee on their way to bot or a D5 team. Overall it seems that BB is losing managers, so many teams are now spawning in D4 and not D5. That has also had an impact. I've read some threads that consider D4 now being the development league while D6 may be phased out leaving D5 to be the bot division.

well for the first time in quite a while i'll be giving up a free win.

Training C in OD > getting within 4 wins of IXLOS. I'd be stunned if that wasn't a double TIE.

@FuriousSK The only non-TIE I had this season was by accident. Don't worry too much about my squad. We're already going to bot promote whether we win or lose in the playoffs, so won't be around next season.

A bigger issue that I see is that 2 more teams went bot. That essentially means income in the IV.49 is going to go down. It may be a good idea to keep your arena growing as you upgrade your roster.

Here's what my receipts are looking like (I went with a Lvl3 PR this season).
7/24/2012 League Game against divinedragons $ 90 228
7/31/2012 League Game against Bayesian Ninjas $ 103 765
8/4/2012 League Game against clipshipmen $ 86 950
8/7/2012 League Playoff Game against Bayesian Ninjas $ 80 930
8/11/2012 League Semifinal against Girona CB $ 42 600
8/25/2012 League Game against miami heat6 $ 100 816
9/1/2012 League Game against Bones Milkmen $ 112 864
9/8/2012 League Game (Televised) against Bayesian Ninjas $ 117 828
9/15/2012 League Game against Navajo Nation Advent $ 118 548
9/18/2012 League Game against Flaming Mustangs $ 128 475
9/25/2012 League Game against Team Super Awesome $ 125 751
10/2/2012 League Game against Ilahas Derby $ 129 917
10/13/2012 League Game against supers 619 $ 135 097
10/23/2012 League Game against Direwolves $ 122 952


Speaking of training, did you see the article on the elastic effect? http://bb-usa.net/blog/?p=337#more-337

I'm not worried about incoming going down. I have a 40k cushion right now as my salaries aren't too high this season. I'll be selling another player + 2 draftees to make up an additional 12-14k in salaries and somewhere between 50k and 300k depending on the value that i get in the draft.

I'm not really worried about your squad, and i'm not particularly worried about this game. I can't really win it as i'm training my center @ PG to improve his OD. My gate receipts are roughly 105k (1 off of capacity). I can only really upgrade two of the 4 sections of my arena right now and actually get out of the maximized attendance, the other two won't be when i lose to you, and then probably lose to you in the semi's or finals. I'm hopeful that i dont promote to D.III until after next season.

Magiker talked to me briefly about elastic effect, that article just confirms what he says.

Well it's nice to know where you are all planning on going. I shall wish Xabers luck up in in DIII!

Myself..I shall just build up the Arena and cash stores until I decide to create another beast of a player to sell off.
