caught again.

I have the following problem in my division: team 1 has sensational defenses every game. Team 2 is better than team 1. I'm neither team 1 nor team 2, but I'd really like to promote out of this place...

My heart bleeds for you mate. You've been in that division so long you must be going out of your mind. :p

Sid Vicious guide to promoting out of Div II

Could I have that, please?

I have the following problem in my division: team 1 has sensational defenses every game. Team 2 is better than team 1. I'm neither team 1 nor team 2, but I'd really like to promote out of this place...

With the preface that I seem to have been good enough to be the team that would have promoted "if not for that other team" the past few seasons...

The things I always look at are the salaries of the 6th-10th players, turnovers forced and caused, and opponent's shooting percentage. Usually if your team can be near the top in the league in those categories, you're in great position to move on. Or at least come close.

I don't agree. I think it hurts the game.

I remember when I was a new player. I read the tactical guide and all that 19 times. Still couldn't understand what the hell it trying to explain because my team to start didn't have of proper skill to match what's being explained. I said to hell with it after some time.. I bought a few players. I watch a few managers play. I picked up a few things from their games. Won a lot of games ran through leagues easy because of division strength and copy cat approach.. Never had to train in those days.. quit the game, came back just to learn how to do tactics better. After I went through my players I had skill book.

I trained my stating players then and some never got better some already capped with no training at all? came back same dang thing going on now.. . The good ones was to expensive then, the bad one was all I could afford. Same thing going on now. Buying was the way to go then. I feel in like it still the way to go now. I think theres a lot success in training your player to be great. If can understand the methods to the madness of it.1position training is just a start to that madness not a cure for all of it.

But now it somewhat worse. Its tax. hinder. rinse, recycle ,repeat. I think there some thing I like to call "natural tanking". It's just part of the team growth process and the BB game. I think penalizing that element would kill the game fun aspects.. I don't understand why other are upset for someone taking drastic measure to get revenue or help the ball club? It help their ball clubs it just the natural thing to do. I would go limb to say the spurs(nba) did this and are better for it. In the david robinson era.

I think BB should inject some fun in the game. Some easy success to start stop the hindering on the new players.. Me personally I remember blowing my 1st 1 mill and team was no better than a 5 league champion. .Same thing going on today with youth. Im my opinion BB hasn't growed a lot past that. That's my rant on the gloom / doom

I do with agree the manager who said put the app in that web site and please say it for older teen to adults gamers. 16+.. because this game is really not made for 13 ys old or some who want fast fun and fast success.. Its not made for that to be honest to many restrictions. Unless your a hard core basketball lover and like tactical gameplay.

I don't think a restrict on tanking would help BB because you have to lose to start and sometime you lose to get better in the draft .You have to lose to re construct your ball club to get better... Why should that manager be penalized for doing a natural thing?? How do we know a team is not tanking. I can tank and go 10-10 for the season, I can tank and go to playoff.

It really depends on the nation. At any rate, it looks like you all believe forums to be important (so do I): is there any plan to reshape the forums somehow, to make them more appealing/easier to access? I know they work as they are, they are just not the most appealing/user friendly I've seen in games of this kind.
