I just started playing and got my team at what appears to be the end of the season. My newly-founded team of scrubs played one regulation game, losing 112-63.

Now I'm suddenly in a relegation series I guess which I probably have no chance of winning. Game 1, I lost 85-58, despite doing a perfect prediction in both tactics areas.

I'm just wondering if this is a normal start for this game... to be throw into the game and promptly booted from your level without being able to do anything.

It seems like an odd design choice to force new players to deal with another team's misfortune without having any of the players that causes the situation, but instead be given garbage players who couldn't win if their lives depended on it.

Also the game's pretty confusing to be able to adjust and figure out how to make a team that can compete that quickly since you're essentially building from scratch (not to mention, I wasn't allowed to sign players for the first few days anyway).

Anyone understand the thought process behind this sort of setup?

Well it's really just the flushing the team and giving you a brand new team of scrubs while retaining the old team's record that threw me off. I've never seen another game do that. Either you take over the old team exactly as it was mid-season, or they make you wait until the start of a new season to take over.

How do I know who the national GM is?

And with the tutoring thing, I'm guessing you're talking about the mentor thread? I looked at that, but wasn't 100% certain if it was still maintained and valid. This forum system is a little weird to me and it's hard to see what threads are current and what aren't. But if that mentor list is still accurate and up-to-date, I guess I could message someone on it.

Those sound like strains of something Shawn Kemp might be familiar with!

i think it's not a bad thing, going down this season in a "easy" league...

In next season, you can built your team at better, train some good young player, and extend your stadium because more tickets= more money every home game.

Look at this day, like a little school, don't worry if you lose relegation game, read all you can find here, and i think you can to have fun here..!

WELCOME...!!
