Mate - you didn't get the sarcasm in the response... I found it amusing that after a defeat and the fact YC knows now he gets another silver trophy, that I get accused of not doing my part for the NT.... well BS.

I paid over the odds for Japanese players to train them.... I don't blame the U21 managers - we don't have a limitless supply of talent.... but if we are going to throw tantrums... that was my meaningless attempt at one.

and for the record, Sonoda is a great player.. his ID more than offsets his lower RB - I just have 3 better C's to choose from now :D

I really hope you are enjoying this cup run.

Take it all in. Appreciate all of it. You got into the final 8 over a team that gave you a Take it Easy in the sweet 16.

I still cant wrap my head around the reasoning. I suppose Stunners was thinking of the BB3.

But you should know that he has you marked now, and you may not beat him again for 3/4 seasons.

The difference between the Big 8 and Great 8:

The best team in the Big 8 runs a TIE against you at your house because he didnt take you seriously enough.
The best team in the Big 8 adds a 450k salary to his 1.2 mill club salaries 3 hours before the game and normals me.

Sharman had to run the second most expensive roster in Buzzerbeater on look inside on a normal to get me at my house.

As for you suggesting that Stunners understands the game more that YC, i would tell you to do some research about the prevalence of look inside and its dramatic increase over the last 2 seasons. Even the developers know there is a issue. The BB3 has become a look inside battle...certainly a problem that the developers will correct at some point.

3/4 seasons ago when you had to worry about Motion as much as you did Look inside, Princeton as much as Low Post, the strategy element was more pronounced...but 2-3 zone is useless against look inside. totally useless. So its not even the guessing game it was 3 seasons ago. You battle look inside with...a stronger look inside.

Now, you have look inside teams shooting more fts, shooting 10+ threes a game, and avoiding foul trouble. There are some major issues with the look inside strategy, and because of that, several teams are using it as their main strategy. Yes, it may work, and yes it may reward...but it doesnt suggest a better understanding of the games....

...and as for stunners cup title...that came after sharman survived me and YC in consecutive games...even Sharman will admit that. And the League titles...give me TIEs all season and 48 min trainings to prepare for a team or teams (Sharman / YC) for a 3 game series, and ill be successful as well.

...not to mention Stunners got to the JBBL finals without one single normal. He got to the finals without a single normal.

You are telling me because Gonzaga won the WAC without a conference loss, they are better than the Tarheels coming out of the ACC?

The JBBL will balance out again. And when it does, it will be interesting to see where all the managers in this chat balance out. You are getting JBBL money every home game. Put it to good use, because, like every season, there are some hungry wolves coming, most likely 3 on your side...and they are looking for blood.

Sharman had to run the second most expensive roster in Buzzerbeater on look inside on a normal to get me at my house.

Well - not really. Let me ask you - had I not bought anyone would you have CT'ed me? and once I sell Delicana and Sonoda on Sunday, I will have run a salary this week of 1.3mil..... so merch+home game + tv + cup wins = over $1mil - I hardly call that a drain on resources.... I can sell a couple more after the cup run is over and what did the victory cost? $600k...

Now had I not won earlier that wouldve meant forgoing the $400 odd k that winning the semi's and final will net me... so in reality it was a no brainer...

and why go base offense today?

Did I ruffle your feathers with my joke...hahahahahahahahaha...got some thin skin there...I love how Wolph is right on your **** afterwards...Supes I love you!!!!..
.....YC this, YC that..OK...Wolph...we hear you chirping overthere...Beat somebody real and I will acknowledge you when you post..until then, all the stuff coming out of your keyboard is shite...
I guess you get your shot on Saturday..unless your training, saving juice for Sharman, or waiting for season 19 to play me with your best. No matter...Let's see what excuses you come up with on Saturday..

and why go base offense today?

First, im not used to having 400k players on my team. so im not going to run a guard intensive offense like push the ball or princeton. I could go low post, but need two good bigs for that.. My guards arent good enough, and the fact that princeton would have me jacking 3s and that patience is garbage, my only slow down option was base.

The CT is just because you are the top dog. you have been since we joined this game. to me, CTing you is a sorta given until i get you once or twice.

And of course i know that

merch+home game + tv + cup wins = over $1mil

for you. part of the battle against you is hitting your pockets.

Anyways, back to the drawing board, but in a way, knowing the lengths to which you take me seriously is in itself a tiny moral victory.

OK, I am deferring to your experience here, so if I am off in the following analysis please correct me.---

OMG...get a room....
Interview with Wolph when he finds out he will face Sharman in the Cup semi's
Well, I love Sharman...I love him sooooo much that I will give him a PO normal because you know..I love him...I hear his British accent and I get goose bumps all over!!
So what is all this hate for YC?
Well...He just isn't Sharman....Did I mention that I LOVE SHARMAN!!!!!!
Hey Sharman!! Don't forget to roll over and wake up Wolph on Saturday..I don't want him to forget to set his lineup...you know with all the excuses...Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha!!!

I might start laughing at Taiyo now for his refusal to CT you.... he could be sitting pretty above Stunners and Wolph now but no... he will be looking on as Wolph takes you to the cleaners with a CT bahahahahahahahaha.... this is Wolphs lucky day!!

He knows his cup run is over and if he plans correctly he can actually still finish 2nd.. a CT won't hurt him tomorrow as he has no real competitive game for a week...bahahahhahaha

Meanwhile YC realising this may have to go normal and with that goes the glimmer of hope he was clinging to of winning the cup..

RULE BRITANNIA

Anyway I was shocked you didn't run LI. Maybe your Gs lack IS or something, but bricking 10 3pointers...might as well take it inside, even with a pitiful you don't miss 10 layups in a game (trust me I used one for awhile LOL)

I have made it a point to myself not to run Look Inside. If the stategy/planning element of this game isnt there, its not worth playing for me.

For a bot, sure, look inside is a possiblity. But for a human, i just rather not run it. I want to know i won the game the strategy, planning, scheming. Maybe when the programmers find a way to even out Look inside with a decent defense or something, ill go back.

But watching look inside battles just dont do it for me in this game.

Its kinda of funny. There was more variety in offensive strategy BEFORE they added the isolations. They broke push the ball, then they fixed it.

At some point they will fix the look inside. Or at least fix 2-3 to stop it.

All the joking aside...Had a couple of beers in me. hahahahahaa
How much you selling Sonada for?....I bet he isn't capped...Let my level 6 trainer get at him..
Second...Hey..at least Kuzu is going to CT me..I would rather play Wolph...but I agree...See you in the final...should be fun Last season in the semi's I had my best game...so let's see who wins next week.
(32355142) To be honest..I thought you team was better last season...But you rent a beast is better this season.

Well - not really. Let me ask you - had I not bought anyone would you have CT'ed me? and once I sell Delicana and Sonoda on Sunday, I will have run a salary this week of 1.3mil..... so merch+home game + tv + cup wins = over $1mil - I hardly call that a drain on resources....

Now had I not won earlier that wouldve meant forgoing the $400 odd k that winning the semi's and final will net me... so in reality it was a no brainer...

I will break this down with a movie analogy...The movie was Gattaca and the part was when Ethan Hawke( natural birth) and his brother( is conceived with the aid of genetic selection)..they are playing their game of chicken, both swim out to sea, and the first to give up and swim back to shore is the loser, so at the end Ethan finally beats his brother and his brother is shocked and ask how, Ethan says," I didn't save anything for the swim back"....classic....this is how you play the game..and it is sometimes very impressive to watch...sometimes you are ALL IN and it seems crazy at the time but it works. But your still a punk....

and why go base offense today?

I don't know about swoosh but I just feel dirty after I beat someone with LI...that is why I still only use it as a bot buster...it is like having a one night stand and then you wake up and just don't feel right....I would rather lose with another tactic then win with LI..but that is me...
See you next Thursday.....should be fun...
