When the season start, every teams are in the same position, all the players in the same form, this is the reason that Shikoku lost vs Kyoto


Yes soon I would win by more when my enthusiasm is 12 and all my players have proficient game shape. :P

I admit I was lucky but you need a lot of luck as well as a lot of skill in this game.

Last season you win by 1 and this season you win in overtime. It seems that the fates smile upon you again.

Indeed.
Difference was, you could afford to go TIE, and lose that game. I... could not. You are my rival, and I'm not yours (well... beyond competitive spirits!). Being at 1-2 would be untenable for me at this point of the season, especially after dropping a tight one to Fighters.
Some weirdness in the game tho': I played R&G, which should put the majority of shots in my guards' hands - yet my center Kopsas took SIX three point shots (and a number of 2s from the outer area) - to my PG's 2. I know which of those two I'd prefer shooting from the perimeter!
But Ad saved me.

You fell in there! Nice. Did you expect TB to go CT on you? That's a good win tho'.
Good that he went CT too - as I have him next Tuesday...

Watched the end of the Fighters/Otaku game - damn, what a finish! Seems those boys ALWAYS have a fight on their hands...
O... and as I type: IT'S GONE TO OT!!! Sheesh... and WHAT an OT!! Tighter than a fish's butthole! Right down to the final seconds, and stupid move by Tellez going for the 3 when 2 pts down. Game over, Otaku wins by 4. mikelm's gotta be BLEEDING on this one.

Well that was a very lucky win and maybe makes up for the week before.

He has some great players and if I survived a CT vs TIE at his arena while making my 2nd string trainees play 48+ minutes at both PG and SG and I still won? Makes me feel a lot better about my team.

Look at the top 4 in the Great 8, probably all 4 of us are better than the 2nd best in the Big 8. While we will have a tough road this season I think this could be the time, and one of us will make it to the JBBL next season.

If you are like me and already have a big bank balance and are making a lot every week (Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 192 354) then there will be a few more moves before this season is finished.

So far this season for me:
Week 1 beat Otaku at home by 11.
Week 2 lost to NKRK in OT at home but with less effort.
Week 3 beat Terry Bogard away and CT v TIE.

Next week I have the Fighters and the one after しい (who have 4 of their top 5 players in inept GS so will be crashing down very soon), those games will tell me a lot.

I have a little squirreled away. And in a few weeks (2-3?) I'll look at making a small acquisition (well, I'll dump a player as well). Not sure it will do much for my team, but I'm fine with this season not being a move to the JBBL. We'll see.


I have Shikoku up tonight - in his arena, pretty sure I'm just going to go TIE and focus on TB. But... who knows?

About an hour before, I changed my mind - went with Normal. (36548840)
Nice result, I went to dinner after the first quarter, and things weren't looking so hot... but my guards had a pretty good game, and I fell in. Lucky I guess.

Well I threw everything at the Fighters and still lost by 16. Their only loss was by 4 in overtime away against Otaku. I think they are looking very strong. You only lost to them by 5 as well. All so close. I think all four top teams on our side are looking very strong but whoever emerges as the top in the Big8 will have a much easier run and be able to TIE all the way to the finals.

Fighters Normal'd to my TIE, and my PG went down to a game-long-injury (thankfully not longer!) in the first quarter. I think I'm a not-so-hot match-up for him, but it's interesting: I think for the top 4 teams, it's bit of a coin flip on any given night who's stronger.
It's a pity the Big 8's substantially weaker, but I'm not sure they can TIE all the way to the Finals. Because by my reckoning, they are ALL quite a bit weaker - which makes it equally as difficult. If someone steps it up a bit, then they may be able to coast.

Still... if I promote this season? Fine. If I don't, that's fine too. I'm happy with what I'm doing.

Well damnit.
Four of us Great 8ers still in the cup. Shikoku, Sapporo & Kyoto pull bots. Me? I get a boosted Fumoffu.
