also interesting dynamics for tomorrow's league game, we will see who ends up securing the last playoff spot. You have an active role in determining that as well haha

That does seem to be the meta strategy. If you are safe from relegation but not competing for promotion, dump some guys at the end of the season to save salary while loading up your finances to make a splash in the offseason.

I was in a similar spot this season, where my trainees salaries are all going to balloon this offseason and I needed to make my push now. If I win against Mambas, I’ll lock up auto promotion so I will be taking the game seriously. Probably helps out your chances to make playoffs, although from a finance perspective it might be better to be the 5 seed and win 2-0 in the relegation series so you get an extra gate receipt.

Roscoe is a very good player, I saw his skills last time he got listed and I’m curious where he stands now after a few more seasons of training!

I kind of want to CT since I have the first pick locked up

If I beat Kelts and Puff Puff beats 10inch they could flip spots It's not very fair of me though, and I probably don't have enough on the roster to do it anyway.

I was cursing the BB gods for my scheduling luck this season. I had to play the top 4 teams in the Big 8 all on the road (based on records at the end of inter-conference play). Made for a grueling attempt to get the auto-promo slot to NBBA. As of now, it looks like I will get it if I can win out. There is 1 other D2 team with a single loss (Resurrected Fury) but I have a good buffer on PD. If I hadn't lost to 10inch verticals though I would have a much less stressful final 4 games of the regular season.


It's in the books, finally I can respond to this! Re: "Not to mention the injuries...", you didn't mention the injuries, but man I swear every time I scrolled down over the past two seasons a recognizable name with a not-insignificant salary was taking up to 21 days off. Like for a while I thought Edgerer was a spot journeyman replacement for Dogana or Sumanas but you just kept him. You've had two really strong seasons in a row, good luck at the next level.

Thanks Harold! I’m glad you waited to post this to avoid jinxing it

It’s been a fun ride in this league the last 3 seasons. You have to deal with me for one last playoffs and then I wish you all the best moving forward

Every now and then I think about hanging up the Humanfund and calling it a buzzer career. It's leagues like this that keep me going with the fun interaction. I don't wind up in many leagues like this. Thank you all for a great season this year and good luck to all in the finals. Cheers!

Being in D2 is fun for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorite is that D2 feels like the tipping point where there are more managers who serious and engaged than those who aren't. Even teams who are losing have managers who know what they're doing, care about buzzerbeater, and will at least occasionally contribute in the forums. Definitely makes it more fun

I hope someone else here will continue my season preview tradition next season!

Haha, I feel you! I had my first team back in season 2. I left for a few seasons before coming back and starting the Terriers and it’s still just a blank spot in my memory…

My first season was season 8... before I had any kids. Wow. Now my son has a team and I was sitting with him this morning explaining finances, processes, and patience.
