Why am I even in the conversation for Manager of the Year? lol
I didn't do anything special.
I also don't think my team overachieved. My team did this year what it has for the last several... we play good enough to make the playoffs and don't really do anything in said playoffs. The only difference is I didn't get booted round 1, but I'd say that's more of a fluke. That game could have gone either way.
Pittsburgh is my vote for overachiever for all the reasons mentioned. A team that just comes in here and dominates right off the bat is extremely impressive.
Myles Owen was definitely a great mid-season pick-up... but that's also kinda cheating because he's basically a cheaper, slightly less-skilled version of the guy I sold off before buying him. Was just trying to get some money. Of course, the way I play doesn't make any player look too stand-out... if I played normal basketball, Owen would probably have really good numbers on the season... but I play for training, so it's very difficult for me to get a top 5 scorer or defensive guy based on actual stats.
Maybe if I actually become happy with my team one day, I'll play properly instead of just training guys and rolling them over for new guys to train xD
