Yeah, I can definitely relate. My strength also seems to lie on my bench (Though, a lesser extent of yours) but more on versatility as I can experiment with tactics, positions and training.

That three week injury on your C has got to hurt and the fact he's only 22 got to make it worse. Still, I think you can bounce back, as you still have a 9 man rotation in place. From what I learned, depth is nice and all, but I believe there has to be a "guy" (At least 100+K) that can lead a team into Naismith and compete.

Oh, so you named your team Calgary Spitfires..Are you from Calgary? If so, I am too lol (:

If I promote again this season I'll be looking into getting atleast one 100k+ player. I did OK in Naismith last season finishing in 5th place in the conference, but lost in relegation due to terrible game shape management at the time.

I picked up that centre late last season in hopes to train him up. Decent skills for a 22yo, but 3 weeks out definitely hurts my training plan. Oh well, my PGs might get a few more pops in 3 weeks so maybe it's blessing in disguise.

I am originally from Calgary, currently living in Drumheller though.

Cheers,

Actually, you mention training? Can you even train with your player salaries? And are you running at a deficit? I imagine you must have an advanced trainer and a minimal doctor (which could explain the 3 weeks injury)?

I'm still making over 100k a week. I have yet to play a home game this season (tonight will be the first) so we'll see what happens, I guess. Being that I demoted, I might have a hard time selling tickets for the first half of the season.

I have an advanced trainer but he's currently only costing me 16k a week (thanks to BB and being able to turn one of your players into staff from last season). I do have a minimal doc right now.

Edit: Made 60k profit and sold 93% of my tickets for my first home game. Not too bad.

Well...I guess things are looking quite different on my part. I'm currently making -25k a week after my big acquisition though I could increase that to +30K if I downgrade from Superior to Advanced, and drop my scouting to 0.

Personally, another big is the last thing I need, but I guess I prioritized talent and cost over fit. I think I might be the favorite to win it all this year, but my eyes are actually on the cup...

I see that you are making some moves as well. On my part, there's some interest in Clevenger as he's still really good inside and versatile for only 200k ;) but I'm in the negatives and based on fit and all, a guard should be needed for my team (Too bad I got no space at this point). Are you gunning for a prospect or planning to make a splash signing?

I think after getting this 26 yo for 2.5m I'm done this season making moves. Need to shed some salary as I'm in the red a little bit now. Hoping I can train this new player a bit as he's a 26yo MVP and should have a few more pops in him. If I make the finals, I might throw though as I'm not sure I'm good enough yet for another opportunity in Naismith.

Wow, that's a huge move (There goes my C advantage over you). Personally, I never made it to Naismith yet, so I'm definitely excited about the idea (And free money for promotion which also helps. At worst, it's a tank and high potential prospect for me). The playoffs could definitely be very competitive and I can see upsets possibly occurring in our conference. As of now, our top 4 is looking deep, with the first seed at 7-1, and #2-#4 one game behind, all tied at 6-2

The only reason Kelvin is in 1st is his use of Crunch Time against me. I'm pretty confident I'll finish first.

Haha, I can definitely say the same in a way. A reason Kelvin is in 1st is his use of Normal VS me (Though my team did choke in the 4th really bad as they went on a 32-17 run vs my squad. Also, I'll admit all of my losses are on my shoulders with my constant lineup tinkering/experimentation and training out of position, which I definitely got to stop as it gave me a loss each to Leaf and Kelvin).

Oooh, crunch? That's got to be a shocker, that depletes like half the enthusiasm. It seems like Kelvin is trying to win. I suppose it's a skill to know when to TIE, Normal or Crunch for the W.

Not if I can help it. I'm gunning for the 1st seed too (;

Best strat is to TIE almost every game, and go Normal against 'stronger' opponents if needed. Save your Crunch Time's for later in the season when it matters most.
