I get an early grudge match with Blackgate tonight, hopefully I can tame Henry D the beast - last season's MVP. Good luck, i'm expecting to lose as revenge for knocking him out of the playoffs last season.

Well you got him! Nice win! Defense still looking good this season for me. 2-0.

Whoop whoop, my team is starting to come together nicely. All those MVP and HOF potential guys finally becoming legit. Good luck with your division bubble wrap. Standings updates are really slow so far - adds to the suspense haha.

3-0! 3-0! 3-0!

Also, crushing loss for the Trojans in double overtime tonight. That has got to hurt a lot...

Yeah, I thought I could get him without a Normal, barely lost. Looking to bounce back next game though. Bit of a shoutout to Preston Colon of LA Lakers, 29.3/18.7 through 3 games is nothing to complain about. Might have to go talk to LeBron about his 0 assists though.

Question for Bubbles (yes that is what i'm going to call you) or anyone else...

What exactly does it mean when you see the message:
ExplosiveBubbleWrap is celebrating the appointment of Brandon Moreland to the United States National Team.

Obviously our players aren't good enough for the actual team, is it just that they are being flagged/bookmarked by the national team as 22 year old players?

It's for scouting purposes. They call your player up briefly, check his skills, and then take him off the team. They do it at the start of each year so it doesn't affect enthusiasm. If I'm wrong, I'm sure EBW could correct me or expand, but I'm fairly certain that's what it's for. If you're interested in learning more about the NT, I recommend joining the offsite; it's full of cool bros like me and EBW.

Pretty much what Birdzilla said! At the beginning of the season the NT manager and U21 NT manager (That was me for four seasons) scout the up and coming players for their teams. U21 NT coach checks all the 18-21 year olds and the NT scouts any 22+ players with MVP+ potential players with certain minimum salaries. They are not on the actual team, as they get dropped right away, but shows you that they are being checked up on.

NOW FOR THE REAL BUSINESS:

4-0! 4-0! 4-0! Who's the number one seed? I'm the number one seed! National Television win on the road. Woot woot!

P.S. Do join the offsite if you are interested. You just need to register and I can approve you account if you bbmail me or let me know in this thread that you registered. It's v chill.

Cool thanks for the info Birdy and Bubbles, very helpful. I can't say I expect to have anyone good enough for the NT because I'm training 2 MVPs and 2 HOFs - going for depth not super-duper-stardom. Maybe that is frowned upon and seen as wasting talent but seems to be working pretty well for the time being.

Good luck to you all and looking forward to our interleague matchups.

Murumets has always been a huge part of the team since I started in S.26, but I feel like his time is gonna start winding down soon. I think this season is going to be my last real push for playoffs and if it doesn't go well, I'm going to go through squad rebuild for the next few seasons purposefully aiming for #5.
