Welcome. Good to have several non bot players this season. Too bad we have a team that somehow has spent millions in a few weeks to ruin it all.

Just out of curiosity, who is it that's ruining V72? I might just be willing to give some advice, if only to keep my old league from going down the toilet. Oh, and Bob, I too played QHF for a while... didn't play for the last few months the game was up but still sad to see it's going forever.

Not sure if anyone is running this league at the moment...not much in the way of communication. Must be a weak league cause I beat a 4 seed last night by 13. First game I had any input with. Says chihorn is GM but I have done little chit-chatting on here, so far. I bought a decent PG and arrange the rotation and got a win. Figures that I would end up in a junk league. Guess I will scrimmage my bums and let the $$$ build a little then search for another piece to add in the coming weeks. I lowered prices on admission figuring it would help build on attendance front- wins shouldn't hurt either. Like the detail here and hope to build in the right way.

No, no... I said RUINING, not RUNNING... as in that other guy's message says that someone has spent millions in a few weeks to ruin other teams' chances.


As for the rest of that,
1) I expected the other teams to be weak; there's only one team there that was present during my title run three seasons ago.

2) All D-5 leagues are junk; they're all full of teams that just got here, and AI players that are space-fillers.

3) Take your time; the overall level of competition doesn't seem to ever rise much in division five, and you aren't allowed to relegate to Division six. Try to find yourself a set of four to seven solid guys, so when you do get up to division four, you can stay up here. You've got the right idea.

If you ever need advice, just directly reply to a post I make and I'll get a notification the next time I enter the forum. Also, Tangosz used to drop by here every once in a while and I'm sure he still does, and he's always happy to push a fellow V72 in the right direction.

Appreciate the advice. I got a win last night and have moved to a 2-1 record since starting...inherited an 0-3 start. Got two players and will add as I go. (Not so easy to pick em up, at times, it seems.) Cut ticket prices and such by 25%...no idea if that was smart? Just playin the game loosely and havin some fun for the moment. Appreciate the time and chat. I will be in touch when stumped beyond a reasonable doubt. Here's to a win!

I am going to crush you by at least 50 when we play just for your comments.

Hey everyone! I just joined BuzzerBeater based on a couple friends recommendations. I would accept any help/suggestions that you might have for a new player. Have a great playoffs!

Wasn't quite the 50 point win you promised, but a win nonetheless. A little more time to form this squad and I might just hang a digit in your loss column...hopefully during the playoffs. Now that would be sweet.

good game, but not enough even with my SG a prominent shooter missing everything. I don't think I'll get past the Celtiz because he bought his team with old very skilled players. So most likely we will battle again next season. But I will have the funds at some point to buy a 20 something high end player.
