judging by some of the comments in the USA forum - it is dangerous to TIE v Bots....


It was last season.

As teams have become more developed, only 2 teams in the NBBA got bit by the upset bug in the 1st round this season.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

yeah but you still see a fair amount of games where the home advantage seems to play a big factor when you see the team stats... if you TIE and dont play 2-3 your rebounding plummets and this seems to have a knock on effect to your other skills regardless of how good they are vs your opponent...

Only thing...I didn't take it easy. I just lost.

I'll call it an upset and focus on training.

sorry - my apologies... it looks like a tough beat then as I know how strong your front 2 positions are....

can you slow down on the training!!! Kaneko and Kawasaki are already beasts of players....!!

No need to apologize. I was a little spoiled last year going 19-3.

A nice training day: 5 up in rebounding.

congrats... my training was all over the place this week... just 1 JR up?! nothing in JS at all? oh well!

:-(

You got some outside defence ready for Sat? His shooters are starting to shape up nicely.... im just caught between a rock and a hard place... i try to give my players some inside training so not to fall too far behind you in this department and then some outside skills to bridge the gap developing on Maruyamas team.... i think i might just have to bite the bullet and commit to one style.....cos i think the difference between strong and average is easier to compensate for but prolific and above must make a bigger difference...

when you train the primaries how often do you get pops in secondaries... it the training speed thread accurate in your opinion?

I'm intending to build up the stadium before improving my perimeter. I'll have to rely on my frontmen.

As for secondary pops, I have had only 3 or 4. I treat them as a little gift, nothing more. As for that thread, it's a little too long for me to wade through.

yeah, the training does seem slow even though they say it is twice the speed at the moment.... the 1st post on the thread is constantly being updated and right or wrong i use this as a guide....

stadium is the key...thats the real motivation for me to stay in the cup... would be nice to have 2-3 home games to build up some more capital to do it allover again.... the NBBA teams are ploughing a lot into the stadiums........ the Transfer market now seems full of players that cant improve your team with a few great players that have been grossly overpriced.....

Bots need to be taken into account as if they were a controlled team, as there are some that can make an awful surprise during the matches. We should all learn from this, getting to the last stances of the Cup is not an easy task even if on the way you play all against non-human teams.

Bot Caution +1 :P

in a couple more seasons we should all be fine.... i think the difficulty is balancing the minutes and maximising training efficiency.... with all the bots having default stadiums as well, the risk you take playing your better players again away from home for a 3rd game isnt worth it if you get an injury or lose GS...a run of 5 home games in a row would be nice though!!! ;-)
