Well done BoS ! Your 15 point win over Dallas will help keep you in the playoff picture. Five teams within 1 game in the Great 8. Looks like another wild season.

Thanks. But I have NO idea how I won the game, Unless Dallas did not play his starters holding them for cup play?
I was shocked with the outcome.
Maybe I can make a go of this D III thing afterall!

EDIT- looks like Dallas played his starters. We both played Take It Easy. Looks like home crowd helped some. However free throws were the difference. Dallas' players could not keep their hands off my guys, and we made our free throws.

Dang,

Chicago Bulls put down the defensive hammer on us. We won by 2 but that was the lowest scoring game combined for both teams I have seen in a very long time.

Good Job.

How about twice in a row? Same tactics, same effort, same outcome

BTW, glad to represent III.10 in the Cup round of 64 along with Dallas Rythm. While we gain extra money and experience for out players, it sometimes can cause game shape and player training to take a back seat.

Good luck in the cup. I am not trying to win this year and only kept a few decent players because I was under a fan revolt from tanking last season. I have a ton of money so the tax is very heavy and takes forever to get out from. So I have to win enough to get through, but I won't be a factor in the playoffs. My main goal is training a few players and any wins are bonus. Next year I may buy a couple studs and go for it. I love training pops and get the greatest joy from those vs winning basically. Over time from tanking, I accumulated a lot of money and it would be tough to replicate that today with all the new rules since (fan revolt, for example).

YEARS ago, like 20 seasons ago, I was in D IV and had really good team, but lost on playoffs, I sold all my good players, kept salary floor by buying a bunch of $2,000 players, I tanked all the way down and made a fortune. I still have most of that money. But with overextension tax it is hard (for me anyway) to have superior coach, players good enough to promote and not burn through tons of cash.
So I just muddle along.
I maybe need to rethink my entire "business model".

It will be interesting to see how "Exhaustion" affects the game. That is the only reason I am keeping some of my $15K backups. One would think alot of managers next season will be adding these players....and thus overextension becomes more of a problem!?

I've talked to a few NBBA managers and the consensus is that you need a ton of extra money in order to make a run to win the league title or the cup. Because you will be losing money every week trying to retain all those high salaried players (and pay overextension tax).

So the strategy of tanking for a few seasons, saving enough money to make a run is definitely a viable one. But I'm sure those tanking years are not very fun. Buzzerbeater is definitely an economic game at the end of the day.
