Most likely, although Googily Dolls looks pretty solid, too. I am hoping that I will have enough victories to bot-promote if I lose in the playoffs, so it's a win-win. However, I don't think my team is good enough to stay in III anyway. Getting there is fine, but staying is the goal.

Yea you're right I was there last season and ended up tanking because what I taught was a great team was just barely good enough to just even get into the playoffs so I decided to get younger talent and train them. I wouldn't mind staying another season to develop them tho

Yeah, if I end up not promoting it might actually be better for my team in the long run. The vast majority of team promoting from IV end up right back here after one season. Many quit the game when they realize it as well. Buying a bunch of cheap 38 year olds to promote from IV is a recipe for disaster.

I didn't know people actually talked in this game, and yea young talent is the best way to go, I started playing this game back in season 11 and can promise most people that buy old players and move up really fast end up trash.

Yeah this season is pretty quiet in here, we have so few active managers, maybe 4 or 5. there are a couple guys who log in 2 or 3 times a month, but that is not active. Buying one veteran to push you over the top in a close race might be ok, but that money is basically lost, no return on investment. We have had teams fill their roster with 35+ players because they are cheap, then they get in the playoffs and their players have dropped in skill and they are getting worse every week.

I also started a long time ago, played from season 6 to about 20, then got too busy. Came back 2 seasons ago.

I'm on every other day or so. Usually in Div that's my activity level. Diii and higher I'm on every day scouting and game planning. I've been here since season 1. Although I lost my original team, this is my second one and one of my friends (a BB) changed my team name back to my original. So that's nice. Mostly I'm not worried about promoting. I'm in it for the revenue, build cash and develop young talent. Right now I'm on course for 3 60k+ salary centers, and I can't afford them here. Probably will sell, make a good chunk of change next season and restart. Sitting on 2 mil with all new exceptional staff, can't complain.

Good luck the rest of the way fellas.

Yeah, I thought your team name was familiar. My original name was Heathcoat, and my team name was Heathcoatmen. I made it as far as DII and got to the conference finals back in the day.

Yeah I actually started toward end of season 2, stayed in D.II for a while. Eventually ranked as high as 34th in the cup. I had some good teams back then. The reason I lost my original was because I operated multiple teams. Not for cheating purposes but just because I couldn't get enough with just one team. Haha! Had about 6-8 teams up in D.III or higher, usually multiple in the same league. I learned my lesson though lol. Going back and looking over it, I'm not sure how you recognize my name? We weren't ever in the same league.
