Wow that's impressive if you have spent 5 million and still have money left over!
I should be the favorite since I am the dIII drop but I see 3 other teams who could beat me on any given night.
The Red side looks a little more competitive at the top compared to the Blue. The good news with the new rules, winning the tournament at the end isn't the only way to get promoted. 20-22 regular seasons wins should get you out if you wind up failing in the tournament.

Here are my predictions for playoff teams:
BLUE:
WHAIGH
Defensive Powerhouses
Based Heroes
The Lightninng

RED:
Air Ballas
ExplosiveBubbleWrap
Indiana Thunderstorm
Edmonton Earthquakes

On a side note, all of our league teams drew a DV team in the cup so all the active users have an easy opportunity for a win.

I got a lot of money as well to work with. I'm going after a big time HOF prospect. I'm pissed about my salary jumping I didn't expect Vasquez or Redman's salary to jump so high. I'm happy I'm not on your side of the division. I sold a player for 7.5 mil and another for 3.6 mil a couple seasons ago and I still haven't spent that money yet. I'm leaning towards waiting another season to promote. I'm trying to get another 2 solid training seasons especially if I get my HOF prospect.

5 mill for that dude? Wooooooow!
Hopefully yall are out of money now.

Nikodem Frank is pissed.
He scores 37 in game 1 only to learn during his post game news conference that he was fired.
Available to anyone on the wire!

You did him dirty. I'm coming for you next game in honor of him. FCP, Motion, and CT for the win.

Might as well pick him up and help him get the revenge.

thank you.... it seems a lot more fun when more people are involved and it also makes it a bit more competitive for me. I try to sign on the live chat for most games, if I am home to watch.

Stay tuned for the weekly 5 hot spot. Ill try to list 5 topics related to the league that can start some convos.

IV.53 Weekly 5 Hot Spot
1. Arena
The best update for season 39 is the change to ticket prices. Especially with my team dropping down, I was way off on guessing ticket prices for this league. Glad that I don't have to wait until the all-star break and can change prices immediately. This will give teams a chance to up ticket prices for big games and winning streaks, or drop prices after multiple loses or games against weaker teams. I like it!
2. Bots
(a) The second part of the s39 update is strengthening the tournament. As the rounds go on, no bots should be playing each other. Everyone in this league is playing bot the first round and that trend may continue into the second round. Here's hoping that I can avoid the D1 and D2 teams until about the 4th or 5th round!
(b) Speaking of bots it looks like we have 3 computer managed teams and 2 more that may go this way in a few weeks. There are 3 on the blue side and 2 on the red side. Depending on which league you are in, that equals 7 or 8 boring games for this year.
3. 67
Points scored for Hasim Tugtekin of the Edmonton Earthquakes in game 1 on Saturday. His team only scored 114 in a 4 point win. He was 27-38 from the field while playing 46 minutes! It looks like he me be our league leading scorer for the weeks to come after that strong first game. I guess the big question is can his body hold with that high of usage. Whats your team record for points by a player?
4. 5 million
That's how much Kendrick Hamm is worth to Coach Extreme D and his Defensive Powerhouses. Hamm is 18 year old with a $3386 salary. The powerhouses could have easily won the league by putting the 5 million towards established players but it looks like he is going a different route. We will see how many years it takes for Extreme D to get his moneys worth. I know for a fact that I have never had that much money and don't remember ever seeing that big of a purchase in my league. I was shocked to see a salary of on 3k for Hamm. Hopefully I will be long gone before he reaches his potential.
5. Power Rankings, Top 5
Air Ballas
WHAIGH
Edmonton Earthquakes
Explosive BubbleWrap
Indiana Thunderstorm

Nice game. I was right there the whole game. Can't wait for round two and round three!

Wow.. just watched the replay. Bartos with 49 points on 60 SHOTS!!!! That's crazy. Hopefully we can contain him next time.
I really expected my guards with 30k salaries to dominate yours with 5k salaries, yet I pressed and had more turnovers! Go figure.

Ill be honest, my goal is to get 20-22 wins and promote without having to win the tournament... You had me worried tonight!
