I was merely answering the questions about D.

I also have stup IS and MArv IS on my main 2 bigs, plenty of shooting on my guards. The main hole is one of my SF's but that's because i've been training their D up and have switched to IS this year. Fong already has prom IS to go with marv JS so he's no slouch.

I have built my team around D from day one and had a bloody good run in the ABBL and was caught short last season when i had 2 100k guys injured for 3 weeks. It basically cost me 6 games and that lead me to making the call to buy aussie and change things up.

The one year i focused on the cup i made the semis and was the only team that got close to BLS that season so in terms of winning trophies i haven't got any at the top level but i did play finals for about 6 seasons in a row in the ABBL.

Still happy with where my squad is at and the 2 sales i make to sort out my wage situation will free me up to make a small profit each week and also have 3mil or so in the bank. Which is a very good base to have a crack with next season.

That said i might not need too. If the injury bug hits the slashers anythign is possible

Your team is clearly better at this point in time. However your level of successfulness has nought to do with your preference of D over O. It has to do with you maintaining 'mediocrity' for a number of seasons and building a war chest.
I am confident you didn't win your way to the ABBL and a cup title because you preferred D on your players as opposed to your opponents. I would say it is because you overpowered them financially because you could afford a large wage bill. As simple as that.

It goes the other way aswell. Ezlife is not stuck in div II because he likes Offense. He is stuck in div II for the same reasons as most other managers in div 2. They simply cannot compete financially with a team who has been saving millions of dollars from tanking and able to spend it on high salaried players and able to maintain it.

Ezlife was training 18 y/o's in div II that is why he is still in div II. I don't know anyone who can train such players and promote to the ABBL. Sure you can male it if you have a big enough bank. But what is the point when your rookies are going to get smashed anyway.

Bit off topic, but I have to give props to the stone slashers this season. He built up a solid team, had a strong season with a bit of luck and is now only 1 game away from the ABBL. Props.

Yep, I chose to tank and take my $5million + with me down to some poor unsuspecting Div III where I hope to terrorize and destroy everyone whilst still training heavily.
I was unprepared when I promoted, I only had my promotion money, and I had Gab Wall who's salary was climbing at too fast a rate for my teams progress.
I don't see what I'm doing as a sign of weakness or mediocrity or anything that may have been mentioned by ez or urmamma.
I'll play the game I pay for however I bloody well see fit.
:)
I could have stayed in Div2 and kept in the 4-6th positions quite easily, but it would have been 8 seasons before I had enough coin to buy essential pieces to do better than that.
I didn't want to just EXIST in div 2.

Tanking is most definitely not the "Easy way out" it's extremely hard to come to terms with losing every game and selling your home grown aussie talent.

Look I kind of lost track of what I wanted to say.
But I guess the main thing to take away from this discussion is that.
Bains, even if you were #1 in BB and won the cup and the ABBL every season, you'd still be struggling to be "mediocre" in my books.
Come at me bro, Do you even lift?
:P

How do you measure success in Buzzerbeater?

By the number of ABBL titles?
By the number of NT's you have trained?
By the number of achievements point being accumulated?
Or by the largeness of your epeen?

All of the above are successes if you enjoy the game and keep coming back for more. And it looks like mad ranga and bainsy keeping coming back for more with they way they carry on at each other =P

As for me, I just want that elusive ABBL title. Cup title would be a bonus.

You are the definition of mediocrity.

By the number of achievements point being accumulated?
.

More posts please. Achievements to be collected

Great arguments HAX, thanks for sharing.

Oh actually, could you explain to my current chatting partner how you went on to relegate this season? He might be in a similar situation really soon.

I love you.

I think this is, or should be, it for most people.

Or by the largeness of your epeen?

But sometimes this over rules all.

It hows you use it....so they say....
