I'm debating on the best course of action for him. He might not be worth 5 mil, but I might keep him next season and train at PG in passing and OD. On the other hand, if I do sell him, I could get some 18 year olds, do a whole rebuild, and sink a few bucks into my arena. Also, I would have some extra cash to make it through D III for a bit.


He'd fit in nicely with my bigs, in the sense that a really top of the line Lexus fits in with a few nice Toyotas. But, of course, he'd fit in nicely with just about any team that's not playing donkeyball.

Reminds me of this trip to Tijuana. 15 years ago now? Best thing about this bar, no cover charge!

Have you seen what those donkeys do? You should have worn the cover.

Did your fan survey take a big hit after winning on Tues? Specifically the "I am pleased with the team's performance this season"

My fans were surprisingly happy with the current season *until* after Tuesday's game, where it fell all the way down to 1...

Your absentee fans that didn't bother showing up most of the season came for the playoff game, only to find out it was a relegation series and that isn't what gets the courtside seat patrons on Sportscenter.

I don't get it... the regular season ends & everyone is content. Then you win an extra TV game, & suddenly the fans treat you like a 22 loss team. "How dare you impress people on TV!"

So hypothetically if a 5 win team finished 5th in one conference, & a 13 win team finished 6th in the other... BB would punish the 13 win team more. And for the entire next season probably. That's just bad game design IMO.

Well my players take up the entire first row anyway, so face-time would've been limited at best. Plus this guy was in row 2: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/6494392/hofplayer.aspx...)

I *did* put up playoff-level ratings though! 10 players with 13+ ratings. (Could've even beat 1 or 2 of the actual playoff teams?)

I've been training him constantly (with a few weeks for stamina/FT/GS, which I kind of regret a little) for the past 9 seasons. I would have thought he might make the NT, but the problem is that he doesn't have the OD to be a SF and MVP potential is borderline to be an elite PF. Still, I think his secondaries more than make up for what he lacks in rebounding (and 14 ain't shabby). I think he has more shotblocking than just about anyone on the NT roster too.

The next go around, I think I would try to get a 6'8/6'9 HoF guy, train the OD/Passing to 12 (and other guard skills) then hammer out the big skills. I think I could make another similar to him and anchor the team at PF/C again in an outside offense.

Really training him up was a lot of fun, and I have an interesing idea. I was thinking about going after a 6'4/6'5 guy soon, training for a season or two and then getting the 6'8/6'9 guy. The 6'4 would act as a SF and the 6'9 would be a PF. They would train the same for a while, so they should both have good secondaries. Idk if I could pull off getting them both, but we'll see. Maybe it's something to try in Utopia.

Sorry for the wall of text, I promise I'm not Wolph.

I'm guessing it's the last of the promotion bonus wearing off? I assumed it had stages and went down after the intra and inter conference league games.

But that wouldn't explain smallfries...
Plus I won 8 games after the AS break & finished around .500, so it wasn't an *awful* season. Like, let's say it wasn't me, but a newer team just promoting here for the 1st time. Wouldn't you say that deserves more than 1 ball?

Well the fan survey was always weird. I'll type out a long anecdote from when I went 21-1 + swept the playoffs later.
