Season 18... promises to be one helluva battle.

Poll:  Who is the early favourite for Div II.1?

I actually voted for you. I am not going to put up with a whole season of making no money so Wold is gone very soon. Likewise now I have a horrible decision with training. Funny having so many potential trainees and I want to train them all. The draft was both cruel and kind delevering me a borderline trainable player. Fukuda is 19 but has good potential and with respectable JS, OD and PA I think he can be a very useful player for me.

Tsuneyuki Fukuda (23031189) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 3 836
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 9200
Age: 19
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: mediocre
Driving: mediocre Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: average

Experience: atrocious

Here is my ridiculous log jam at training.

Daisaku Kawaida (16975170) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 17 821 Age: 22 Height: 6'3" / 190 cm Potential: allstar
The first good trainee I have ever had and a solid player already. His potential means he will never be a star so he just does 2 position training now. If I wanted to be better right now he should be trainee #2.

Tsuneyuki Fukuda (23031189) Point Guard Weekly salary: $ 3 836 Age: 19 Height: 6'1" / 185 cm Potential: perennial allstar
19 but everything else about his is good and he is my draft pick. I really want to train him.

Noritada Konoe (18297019) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 17 480 Age: 21 Height: 6'0" / 183 cm Potential: allstar
My draft pick, in his second season on the U21 team and living the dream. My favourite player and #1 trainee.

Atsuyoshi Kyubei (18297011) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 9 970 Age: 21 Height: 6'5" / 196 cm Potential: perennial allstar
Potential is good but he is behind where he should be and wont be on the U21 team. Like Kawaida if I want my team to be better right now he should be trainee #2 or #3.

Takayoshi Kawagichi (21305663) Small Forward Weekly salary: $ 5 300 Age: 19 Height: 6'3" / 190 cm Potential: superstar
He isn't my draft pick, he is behind in his development, but he has one thing, potential. That probably makes him trainee #2.

Hirofumi Sonoda (14003048) Center Weekly salary: $ 96 730 Age: 24 Height: 6'9" / 206 cm Potential: superstar
Probably buying him cost me a trip to the JBBL but I had visions of training him and helping our nation. Now I can't afford to keep him. I have given him 2 weeks of 1 on 1 training but no pop. I am worried that he is capped. I will probably be selling him at a loss of several hundred thousand.

So 6 players I could be training. It is good and bad. I think I have to make some hard choices over the next week or two. Also Zhang my center and top 10 rebounder last season is too old and will be shipping out. Look for a very much leaner and different Shogun in a few weeks.

Terry Bogard looked like the only team trying out there

He either really likes you or really hates you. Either way he continues to do serious damage to you.

Ha... he certainly does appear to have a bee in his bonnet regarding me! Nah, if he's prepared to go CT game 1 of the season, more power to him.
Me? Game 1 against a team I respect (TB's definitely one of the better teams in II.1 now), and given that it took him CT+HCA to win, I kinda like where I am.
Hell, I woulda loved the win... but I don't think it's serious damage at all.

Know what you mean...

Hey! Welcome.
Looks like I have a new rival (by that I mean my team's your rival)...

Hi Mad Ripper. Welcome to the game. I am willing to give you lots of tips and advice (as soon as we play) if you want any.

Yes I think you have a very strong team, I was obviously set badly back by my venture last season, hopefully I can try to get a good record and score a bot promotion this season so we can join our "friend" in the top league.

Probably again 4 very strong Great 8 teams, had to get a good idea of the Big 8.
No 1 has all $3k players and 1 $70,000.
BBstAr has lots of $10k and 1 x 50 but must have a fortune from the JBBL.
Baikinman has 1 x 40k, 1 x 20k and a few more ok players.
が失われることはありません has 1 x 70, 1 x 50 and lots of x3k scrubs.

It seems in the Big 8 they like 1 star teams.

Definitely different policies between B8 & G8. Dunno about me having a "very strong team" - obviously, it's beatable. TB just showed that! I think I'll be in the mix again, but the mess we have in Div II.1 still exists. I'd be ok with it, if there were other div IIs that were at least competitive, but there isn't.
I know it'd be kinda boring, but I'd LOVE to be in Div II.3/4.

Good LUCK! Good Game!

Good LUCK! Good Game!

Heh... thanks!

For which game are you talking about? I'm a lil' confused...


And I just spent a heap of money on a trainee... but he'll be money one day!
