my team comes out with an upset over the formerly undefeated blazerz. Looks like they remembered that one point game from last season :)

I keep losing all my games, i don't know what i am doing wrong

Maybe you just suck! (jk)

Looking at your roster I see you don't have any players with a salary above like $4,000. You must be new. It's going to take a while to be able to compete in this league - that's why starting in league V is a little better. Try looking on the transfer market for some better players and start building up your arena! I look forward to the day that you can beat me :)

Great advice from the_shadow, and to add to that, I'd recommend that you get a good trainer and start training some of your players. Then it'd be up to you whether to sell or keep some of your trainees. In addition to building your arena and buying some solid players, I'd also advise that you invest a little on scouting points and look forward to the upcoming draft. Don't worry about where you are now, it does take time to get to a high level.

Even against a bot, I feel that my backup PF putting up 43pts 30rbs and 5blks is pretty impressive.

Why am I winning?

Late answer... but... better ratings, more points... better all around?

Last year I had a tourney matchup with Panama Panthers. This season I go head to head with Javamen!

ugh. not right

However, kudos and congrats to those still hanging in there in the Cup. That extra 50k each week is nice.

Well, we're exactly halfway through the season, so thought I'd bring back the Power Rankings! I will most likely do one more after each team has played each other at least once. So without further ado:

Alone at the Top

1. Strong arm of the law (11-0), Streak: W11 - After falling a mere 4 points short on the road to the finals last season, they are taking care of business. Would be shocked if this team didn't finish undefeated.
Upcoming games: vs #2 Javamen, @ #7 Lincoln Hornet's BC

Top Five

2. Blaserz (9-2), Streak: W1 - Still blazin' past opponents, and their fury is tough to stop. They have one of the best backcourts in the league with Alimzhanov and Gaurana. Coming off of a much needed win against the Mares.
Upcoming games: @ #5 Michigan St., vs #8 Las Vegas Aces
3. Javamen (9-2), Streak: W5 - Have quietly snuck up to the top after winning 5 straight games. This team has one of the deepest benches in the league, but they'll be tested in their upcoming games against top teams in Strong arm and the Mares.
Upcoming games: @ #1 Strong arm of the law, vs #4 Winking Mares
4. Lightning Hoopers (9-2), Streak: W3 - Played well thus far, however, they still have yet to face two of the top three teams in the Big 8.
Upcoming games: vs #8 Athens, WV Warriors, @ #5 Mattakeunk Moose
5. GODS AND GODDESSES (8-3), Streak: W1 - Might not look like it, but this team has actually gone through a little rebuilding process. Even with that, they've managed to stay consistent and have earned quality wins against top opponents; they've won 5 of their last 6 games.
Upcoming games: vs #4 Panama Panthers, @ #6 Funky Town Fire.

Third Tier

6. Winking Mares (7-4), Streak: L1 - I actually believe this team has top five talent. Despite having four losses, they have the third highest PD (264), and several of their losses are a result of them putting in less effort. They've also been rebuilding as of late, but still have shown great horsepower with no signs of slowing down whatsoever.
Upcoming games: vs #3 Catzzz, @ #2 Javamen
7. Catzzz (8-3), Streak: L1 - I think this is the second time or so that I'm rating the Catzzz relatively low despite having a good record (Pls don't hate me for it lol). But hear me out. They came into this season after reaching the finals two consecutive times, and started off this season 6-0. But since, they've gone 2-3. Hopefully they can turn things around, and what better way to do it than with a quality win in their next game over the Mares? That should be a very competitive one.
Upcoming games: @ #4 Winking Mares, vs #5 Michigan St.
8. Mattakeunk Moose (6-5), Streak: W1 - Up and down season thus far, but can't blame them because they are still in their rebuilding process.
Upcoming games: @ #8 Las Vegas Aces, vs #2 Lightning Hoopers

Knocking on the door

9. Panama Panthers (6-5), Streak: W1 - Panthers have actually surprised me a little. Decent record and decent performance in their games, and is currently clinging to the 4th spot in the Big 8. But GM chillkiller hasn't logged on in almost 3 weeks, so their #4 spot might be in jeopardy.
Upcoming games: @ #3 GODS AND GODDESSES, vs #6 Seirinsclub
10. Funky Town Fire (4-7), Streak: L1 - In the "been there, done that" mentality. This team is currently just chilling, but could easily come back to form at any time. Have won 2 of their last 3 games.
Upcoming games: @ #7 Revengence, vs #3 GODS AND GODDESSES
