Ah SUM is finnish team - darn they so good now in basketball :)
Yes I saw the 1p win. This time around for sure loss.
Finland on a roll!
Trainer is to keep old to not age.
I got boycot from last time in top div.
Been like that all times.
Sad way to do the game.
They should keep tabs on from where you come (under) and look at the entire season and lower the demands on a new team.
Yes indeed, we have many teams from Nordic countries in HGL as already 4 out of 16 are from Sweden-Finland-Estonia axel. And of course we have also Latvian, and it seems on next season we're also going to have a Lithuanian team.
Of course the same goes with for instance French teams in HGL, as in addition to playing against each other, they'll face two Italian and one Spanish team, so lots of "local matches" are played in HGL, while it's simultaneously interestingly international league (special thanks for Uruguayan Chucarro and Australian MrJ for this!). :)
Of course we could have a team from North America, Asia, and Africa as well, but I´m not aware of Asian or African HG teams currently (and I think it's likely we´re going to have a Northern American teams in HGL in the future).
And thanks Spela, it's definitely a moment worth celebrating for Finns, it's not every year that national team breaks their previous success records... :)
As for BB related stuff, I also have to keep that kind of trainer for my team due to lots of aging players.
And yes, fan boycot is very frustrating and personally I do agree that it's too penalizing, and just like you said, expectations should be set accordingly (maybe taking account that you are new team, and/or that you might not have enough money to do well - if you have loads of money that you just wouldn't decide to use, maybe in that case I would understand this strict fan boycot better).
Also, fan survey (that affects team income) is also sometimes ridiculously tough, and it doesn't take into account many things... Like if you play against totally superior opponent, fans don't seem to take that into account even if you played better than you should've (given that you might have been huge underdog for the match)...
Or for instance question "my team did play well when their match was televised", my rating 1 out of 5; I lost by 13 to a team that's 12W-5L (while I'm 6W-11L) and superior in top8-salaries...
Or to a question "team played well when they faced their arch-enemy last time", 1,5 out of 5 balls, while I lost by 8 points to way superior team in salaries... Fans don't seem to be grounded to realism by taking into account likeliness of certain things and tweak their expectations to more realistic ones.
Or my almost continuous rating of 0,5 to 1,5 balls (out of 5 balls) to a question "manager does everything he can to make team better": certainly being HG team isn't appreciated by "regular fans"... and so on. But enough of a rant for now. :D
