If u promote u will gain way more money no matter what happens.So u would better promote.BUT dont neglect your trainingfor any reason.It is the most essential thing after winning games!Dont fear the upper division and do whatever it takes you to promote.Best wishes!!!

I agree even if you are losing every game in a higher division you will be making more money then now through higher attendance revenue and tv contract. If you come last in the higher division u might even be lucky enough to get a great draftee.

In your position I disagree with you. I think you would manage to stay in DIII England while making more money and properly training. However I do feel there are certain situations such as USA, Italy, Spain, or another big country to not want to make the jump to DI too soon. That can be argued both ways though.

Thanks for the replies.

Everything that you both say makes sense but if I was making loads of money in a higher league but losing every game then I wouldn`t be enjoying the game. Once this first season is done I will go all out for promotion. This season was really a chance for me to figure everything out. I signed up one day before the first game of the season so I was clueless for a couple of weeks.

Thanks.

Thanks for that. I always thought that the jump in divisions would be large enough for me not to be competitive. Now that you`ve told me that maybe my entire season plan has been wrong. . .

Thanks for the response

I`ve never tried to lose games. I always pick my team to tr and win but winning and getting promotion hasn`t been my priority this season.

Your still in the playoffs 3rd place w/ a better PD than the teams above you. Just try and win and see what happens. If you promote great, if you don't then that was your original plan.

Always put training first until your established. I single pos train every week but I do want to win the playoffs so I am saving the skills I need to 2 pos (ie JS and 1v1) for those weeks.

im actually in your position right now.
I got promoted to D.III and im really comfortable where i am.
Yes, you do recieve much more money in the higher division, however, i feel if i continue to lose, i will not enjoy the game as much, and im trying to train a great player without throwing too many games to get minuites, and not losing gameshape.

I probably wouldnèt promote this season seeing as my player salaries are among the lowest in my league, however i wouldnèt go after promotion next season either as i do not want to lose all my games, and face relegation (which i hear is terrible) in D.II


If you want to stay put, learn the game, and get ready for next season, then do that, then you can have fun dominating your league next season.


Good luck

If your goal is to have fun with this game then I think priority number one should be to get out of your country's bottom division as fast as humanly possible. The game is way, way more fun when you're not playing 50%-80% of your games against bots or owners who only sign in once a month.

the whole fun part is all based on how he looks at it.
I have no clue what he enjoys doing in this game.
I do not want to move up, partially because i would get destroyed in the next division.
My player salaries is about 66k per week
the league average in D.III.2 is 100k.
Though i still manage to compete, and usually beat, my opponents, it be complete suicide to get into the higher division.
AS in, I would like to achieve certain goals in the next few seasons that would get me relegated for next season for sure.
And you, being an D.II player, should be able to compare my team salaries, and the rest of your leagues, and be able to predict the outcome of those matches.

My idea of fun in this game cannot be accomplished by having to worry about getting relegated, especially when ones comfortable where they are.

And playing against inactive managers and bots could be an amazing way for one to learn the game, play different tactics and try diferent lineups.

Ive been pretty successful in my league this season, after getting promoted alst season, probably due to the fact that I took that season to learn about the game and have a better understanding of how to be successful in this game. And now im sitting in 3rd place. I have a decent understanding of what im supposed to do and i am right where i need to be in terms of completing some of my goals.

So to top it off, the original poster may have his own idea of what his goals are, and how he wants to have fun using this game, but I believe that sometimes people do need to take the time to learn and grow to be more successful in seasons ahead.
