Games in Naismith are stupid!
Argh!
Angry!

Agreed!
I keep underestimating how much poor GS affects shooting, and always seem to start the season at the bottom of the conference.

Anyone else noticing the changes in the game engine? It's a small sample size of what I've seen, but I think they've made a lot of changes. At the very least to the substitution patterns.

Huh? Can you send me a link? I haven't heard about any recent changes but I very rarely go through the forums except Canada.

I don't know what they did but my team plays like a bunch of hobos that saw the ball for the first time every time they play outside of home arena

Firme sold.
500k less than I thought I will get (at a minimum) for him but it is what it is. I put important pieces of my roster for sale. Based on result of the auction I might retool/rebuild/blow everything up and focus on trianing.

Bid away!

It's very surprising to see the defending champs easily beaten in the second game of the season. But now it looks like you're blowing your team up when you could still get another title out of them.

Haven't read it anywhere, but just by watching the games. They had said earlier that they do make adjustments without notifying. I'm seeing what I think are some pretty big changes and I'm curious if anyone else has noticed anything.

First, I am not blowing it up. Firme was supposed to be sold all along and I have my eyes on a center with better rebounding.
If you notice the prices for my players they are what I would consider 'fair', and I am known to overvalue my players. If they won't sell then I will either buy the C I have my eyes on, and try to get another title, or stick along while in positive, and get the C before the playoffs.

My goal was to make it into playoffs of BBB but with bad draw and already a loss that became unrealistic. Another championship would be nice but it isn't a priority. I really miss training

Quick summary of the first 3 games:

The best newcomer:

Kelvins team
2-1 record in tough conference speaks for itself. Surprising win over Syndicalists is worth noting. The team has also put up a decent fight against current NT manager and Naismith powerhouse - Philosopher Kings. The worthy effort resulted in a loss, but a new feeling of belonging let the team crush their next opponents to put themselves firmly in a position of playoff contenders early in the season.
Well balanced and experience team + flexibility in tactics makes this team one to watch.

Dissapointment so far:

Green Machines
Seeing a Canadian BB legend in the last place with 0-3 record is surprising. The team is close to salary floor though and it looks like other goals are in mind rather then going after deep run in the playoffs this season. The schedule doesn't get any easier for next 2 games so rapid climb up the standings is unlikely


MVP:
Statistically Hieronymus Sutter leads the way but his first name is absolutely unfit for top level athlete and the team has losing record so we have to look somewhere else.

The winner so far in this category is
Olexiy Burimenko
Proud son of Ukrainian immigrants became a legend in Canadian NT. Now, although close to retirement he is still showing the youngsters out there how it's done. 33.5 ppg, 13 RPG and a staggering 5.5 APG with 2.5 SPG for a big man and only 1.5TO are rockstar numbers. The importance of Olexiy for his team is best shown by the results of his team. Ottawa is 2-0 with 37yo in the lineup and got simply ran out of the gym the only time he was forced out of the game due to progressing rheumatism that makes back to back games hard for the old man

Kelvin is looking like a future Canadian powerhouse
