i can't fathom from those ratings how i lost, even with the -1 effort... +1 Flow, +2 OD and +4(!!) ID, and only -1/3 IS.

oh well, congrats calum, good luck in the finals!

yeah man, that's weird. Guess I was lucky in the end. One thing i can say is that for some reason my team ratings are always poor and my pp100 a slightly better indicator. Might be something to do with the make up of my guards.

hopefully I can represent the great 8 well in the finals.

yeah, your guards and your bigs, and that awesome SF of yours. but still, 13(med) OD and 14(low) ID are the best defensive ratings I've ever put up, thought that would be enough.

So you've had a huge turnaround in your team. Midway through last season, you said you had a 80% chance to relegate. Now you're in the NBBA Finals.

I think it's a symptom of other teams (certainly in the Great 8) striving for the league/cup balance. I've been 'blessed' to be knocked out early both seasons and managed to get the 'cheap' wins I needed. I honestly dislike my current team in comparison to those past, mostly because I have no USA characters I can get behind. I hope to win and then go american again. Either way, this team is not sustainable due to sub-par merchandising in stark comparison to 2 seasons ago when I had by far the most merch income.

Current estimations give me a 30-40% chance of getting the title despite HCA. I attribute that to having a slightly weaker team and enthusiasm detriment so i'll have to have to take a risk or 2 but it'll make it more exciting!

Good luck to you and your team. Oh how your star has risen quickly. I feel like an old NBBA fart!

Who couldn't root for Derek Hanson, your 42 year old bench warmer? Anybody who mistakes his mouth guard for his dentures should be a fan favorite. I'm shocked your jersey sales aren't higher with him around.

Joking aside. I'm not exactly sure how to handle your HCA. I also don't really have any sort of measure about how you and I stack up with each other. Our lone game against each other this season wasn't a good measure due to training and very different rosters. You still had Zane Ritter on your team.

I've been 'blessed' to be knocked out early both seasons and managed to get the 'cheap' wins I needed.

You just beat the league favorite, Wozz. You beat LMA when he had that monstrous roster, and you beat Visionaries by 17. You have a lot of legit wins, and definitely not an over abundance of "cheap" ones.

Yeah, very hard to tell what the match-up will be like but I can see a large RB differential due to the addition of Vega (my 3 big's total 47 RB) and Vega alone has 18. That could prove to be key. I've no idea what to make of your SFs as they put up such large ratings.

Those games you mention were mostly on greater effort, but I thank you for pointing out the highlights of my season. Maybe not as bad as I thought. I certainly see our game being much more similar to the LMA game than the others. I think the GE random factor helped me greatly there.

I've certainly not got the balls to watch the 1st game. I think we'll know the outcome after this game so there's far too much riding on it for my liking!

D2 Finals Preview:

II.1

Former NBBA teams matchup in II.1, Black Mambas vs Rocket Science. RS has HCA, and ratings seem to indicate RS has a significant RB and Flow advantage.

II.2

Calfson and the Fighting Kelts have HCA vs the #3 Star Fliers and manager Own3d. Star Fliers had to use some effort to defeat the #1 Slam Jammers in the semi, we'll see if they can pull off another road victory.

II.3

Rambo is looking to comeback to the NBBA, he has HCA vs the #3 Kentucky Wildcats. Lucas Ray and the Wildcats upset the 21-1 Lovable Losers to reach the finals.

II.4

Manager dmitri of Delta 9 has HCA vs mfork and the Finger Rolls. Both teams have similar team ratings, pretty solid defenses for D2.

Cheers jfarb! It'd be good to have some new blood up here.
