Welcome back mate.

Just looking through my team history, got promoted here at the end of season 24.....time has flown, heh.

Goodluck everyone, should be an interesting season (and a lively one after a quiet few seasons prior).

Seems like ages ago. One season in ABBL. The only time I can think of where no one in ABBL was tanking.
Came 2nd in the new Div II and decided to start again with training and working my way back up.

My trainees are a few seasons off ABBL standard so might be here a while.

Just read the S37 news.

Coming last might incur some severe financial penalties it seems.

What to do???!!!!

As someone who has finished their tanking run I think its a great idea. Too many teams tanked for too long and that is driving prices up. It all makes sense. Imagine if the Lakers started holding open try outs and fielded a side of player who did not even play in collage. Would not take long before people stopped going to see them.

Totally agree. I always argue about it on the forums and was often told that "this is a game and it is not meant to represent real life basketball". Go figure...

I guess I'm just a bit annoyed that it happened half way through my plan. Have to update now - change things around a bit.

I remember even GMs and BBs saying that they'd never do the fan thing. Glad they did.

Problem is, though, is that with the fan thing, they don't need the cap on how much people can save. 25 million isn't that much if you're trying to put together a top league title chase or deep B3 run.

It definitely threw a spanner in the works. I had only just sold my entire frontcourt before this was announced..

I agree, it does have plenty of merit though, as you guys pointed out. It demands accountability and adds realism, big ticks for mine.

More being stuck in an endless loop of never quite there man, and not respecting the game enough. Made plenty of terrible choices along the way, never really built up any sort of financial kitty, always fluctuating between no cash and just enough to pay staff/player wages for the upcoming week - just hoping for a home game around the corner.. pretty abysmal management really.

Clearly the guys with ABBL experience know the difference between being good and great - I'm just not at that level tbh. So it's perma-drawing boards man.
