Additionally, simply tanking to build up a large bankroll and then "buy" a team is even more difficult to maintain. Good player's are not cheap. Just because a center is making 200k doesn't make him a great buy, teams's don't sell really good players at low prices very often. When they are really good players at a low price, the transfer wire usually drives the price up, or the players are at the end of there shelf life anywase.

Very nicely developed guard there. I don't suppose I'll be lucky enough to see him sell. As a side note, good luck on Saturday, I've changed my lineup twice, and shuffled defenses at least that many times. Just don't think that anything I do is going to make any impact on the final outcome. If your unsure as to how to prepare, may I suggest the Full Court Press strategy and playoff normal? Princeton wouldn't be a bad offensive choice either. Might even keep the final score under a ten point win for you.

I guess what I am trying to say is hard cap makes the leagues even more competitive and training strategy more important. Doesn't it make the game boring when u see one of the teams have 4 guys making your team salary? Tanking a season doesn't mean do nothing. U can train your young guns and watch them grow. This game is basically win a championship or spend as little as possible to stay in the division. The middle packs has no benefits. I lose money by getting in the playoffs. That is just not logically speaking right.

Yes, but isn't that typical of real life sports? The New York Jet's have no chance to win a superbowl, yet they still pay Mark Sanchez what, roughly 20 million? Or the Boston Celtics or Lakers. Neither team was really a true contender this season, yet they payed a huge salaries to be competitive. Being the middle of the pack in any pro sports has little true benefits, other than the coach keeping his job and remaining competitive while you try to find that slight edge to get over the hump.

Lots of good secondary skills. I really wish my starting SF had better shooting range though. You should avoid the FCP, I don't think that would be a good move, but I wouldn't be shocked if you could beat me playing Princeton. Your defensive ratings are off the charts for Div II. I'm not going to score that many points.

Speaking of players for sale, there is a real nice center for a low opening bid of 1000 up for sale also.

Yeah, you can see why I thought I had a shot at winning if I could have added an additional big man. I purchased some decent veteran big men to fill in the center and backup center/power forward spot, and don't want to pay his salary come opening week. Time to retool a little bit and make some money for a season. Go buy him!
