dear sir,

or if i may call yo that

so you say long term strategy is poor management?

thus saying building a arena 1000 at a time for lets say 3 seasons till you reach lets say 23k is poor planning compare to suddenly build your arena to 23k if you have the money ? or what do you do, sell what you can sell at the best price possible and leave your team dont know if they hold and build a 23k capacity arena

or forget about building arena so much, lets go get some guys that will make my team the DREAM TEAM.

if the riches were made by those rich and famous now are done overnight? id like to know how they do it, do you think any company or business is ran with all short term strategy?

shouldnt you have a long term strategy that will compose of many short term strategy to attain it?

since you said already, changes always happen. so if i take sudden actions now probably by 2 or 3 seasons i might not have enough room for flexibility and next thing you know your in a quick sand.

I think there is not a long or short term strategy, the problem is that:

The BB's guys when they see that some managers are going to have a very high income, they put new rules to balance the economy and the same when the income is low, they put new rules to activate the economy.

As you see there is no long or short term, they are improvising with the economy every season and in my opinion thats a big fail.

what are you talking about?

lets put it this way . . . . my long term strategy is to keep my team intact for as long as i can, meaning those players i trained will retire on my team.

with this i have to prepare my team on the economic side which means i will not have much TL trading so money will only come from home games.

with this i have to make sure my roster is competitive to not lose so much to keep attendance high how do i that . . . . . ( short term strategy ) 2nd since my only revenue is attendance and my plyaers salary will go up every year i have to or i need to increase my arena capacity in the sense that i can hold my team together, so for example if i have only 15k capacity and knwoing the only i can make money to make it to 19 or 20k how do i do it ( another short term strategy )

also if i have extra money will still invest it in advance n the arena or what . .

if your tellng me that your just playing and dont exactly have a plan how to run your team and just take it 1 day at time as come what may . . . . i applaud you if you maintain a winning team from now till the next few seasons to come.

You dindt understand my msg, im wasnt talking about my team

You misunderstood. What I said was that we should be willing to deviate from the median. We should be willing to change our plans when new changes are introduced. My whole point was about balance. Don't build the Pontiac Silverdome when Boston Garden will suffice. Don't train a 20-8-8 center when a 12-12-12 guy will perform better.

My long term strategy is this: Have fun and don't take this awesome game too seriously.

No, poor planning is to say "I'm going to get a 23,000 seat arena NO MATTER WHAT." and then blindly moving ahead until you have 23,000 seats in your arena.

I have no idea about business. Luckily, this has nothing to do with business.

You should have whatever you think is a successful strategy. My personal strategy, which I shared and which you are in know way encouraged to follow, is one of going with the flow, doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Eventually, the game will reach a state of equilibrium across all its phases and changes will be less frequent. When this happens it will be time to begin outlining a formula for success.

That sounds to me like a long term plan!

that is your long term strategy,

but to me my having fun is having grasp what i want to do and doing it. true i took this game so seriously before i log in more than 7 to 15x a day.

i analyze my games, my opponents games, stretching my ideas and thoughts of the game engine and make as multiple models and at every task i try to come up with assumptions and possibilities which how would a player react to it.

mostly i got my team to do it since i know the skill level, some who kindly help me let me observe what i need to forecast the events.

now that translate to being an addict. but im having fun, cant blame me for it. at the age of 8 years old im already playing basketball, i was able to shoot 3's at the age of 11. i won my first mvp when i was 13 that also included my career high at 32 pts. so basketball for me is my life. its my passion.

by the way you describe your poor planning contradicts already what your saying before. a little bit of this and a little bit of that already constitutes to short term strategy to reach the long term strategy

just that to you, your just doing it when you feel doing it or the need arises. while me on the other hand will make planning and not just planning i have to see ahead whats coming so i know what steps i needed.

lastly what i meant by business is, in every business there is a need for planning. a goal likewise, i didnt mean that in every plan you make will make you successful but one will never succeed without planning.

My point is that because there are so many changes made so often to this game, the best way ( for me ) is to be flexible. If you want to say that's a short term plan or a long term plan, that's great. What it is is semantics and the start of a circular argument. No thanks.

I'm not sure what this thread has to do with your basketball career highlights, but congratulations. You ever make it to Thailand, give me a ring, and this 41 year old will wipe the court with your MVP for free.




and Superfly Guy- That's right. If and when that day comes, I'll get in line with the long-term planners. Until then, I'm enjoying the ride ( A Sharman-like 35-0 domestic campaign in season 8) and hoping they keep changing things up on us.

A small suggestion after the "news". Why you don't test the new GE in the matches of private league?

Hi

I read the new post that says that the changes in the game engine are delayed till all-stars break because some irregularities in suterdays games.
Well I had a really strage game and I wonder if it's becuase the new engine or not.

in general I ordered the team to look inside but instead they shot 26 3-pointers, in particular my SF (which is more of a PF in his skills) who shot 6 3-pointers and my SG who shot 7, that's not really look inside isn't it?
I'll just add that the opponent played 1-3-1 and his inside defence was pitiful(high).
