Asunto: II.3

I think the key (more so then what I have noticed in previous seasons) is going to be energy for this seasons playoffs. Is everyone pleased with where they are? Thoughts?

I have the grapes coming up-- DHC and North Stars. Im planning on conserving and making a run for the bonus money. And im sure Ill relegate after that. WHo knows. Im just hoping to make some money on media offer this year. This years hurt due to const.

4points from being regulated, gonna rebuild in III. Got some aging players who will need to be replaced soon.

DONT DO IT!!! Stay in II.3 to rebuild. The money is better and it will be harder to upgrade

i wish i could, but if rochester won today i am eliminated from even a chance in the regulation round. next season will kill me in III, my costs are going to be higher than money i pull in. haven't spent anything in a few weeks to build a cushion for the loss i will have next season. i had same issue in soccer this year after going from II back III.

I thought it woudl be worth it a few seasons ago to fall III.11 after promoting and it was a horrible idea. Lost so much money and time to catch up. Luckily I have found a lot of good old dudes for cheap. #1 key is 2 goalies.

Way to go UPDOG!!!! Thank you for making the last stretch for 1st place a tight race.

What is everyones energy at so far? low 90's for all my starters. 98 for my goalie.

I'm looking at low 90s, mid 90s for my goalie. Overall I am pleased with what I have left energy wise.

It will be tight, some key matchups upcoming in the last couple weeks. I have a rough go with DHC, Grapes, and North Stars among my last 5 left.

I've had no problem rebuilding in III. you have to do it right though. You need to be on your way to having a big stadium. It was tight the first season, but I began making very good money (for III anyway) once the stadium started paying off. I've saved up 100M this season. No player sales.

Last Stretch- Nitny you do have the toughest schedule left.
Thoughts on final ranking?

1. Smuggling Grapes
2. Updog Brewers
3. Mobile Rain
4. DHC
5. Bleeding Wildcats
6. North Stars
7. Sparkly bananas
8. Behemians


Mobile Rain- gets DHC, GRape Smugglers, and North Stars,

Smuggling Grapes- gets Bleeding, Mobile

Updog gets North Stars

DHC Corsairs- gets Mobile Rain

Bleeding Wildcats- get Smuggling grapes and North stars

North Stars- Updog, Bleeding, and Mobile rain

Could go anyway to be honest, tactics/energy/random will be key with my matchups, worst part about my schedule is all my big games are road games. However, one advantage I have is I will win any tie b/c of my large goal differential.

Agreed, I've been able to invest quite a bit into building a good stadium and facilities while spending only one season in II. At the end of this season, I'll have enough money to build two sections of my stadium to max, and possibly a third depending on prize money. If you look at who has the most money in the country, teams from III are in the top 10. I was in the top 25 last I cared to look.

Wow. I never noticed that. There's 8 III teams in the top 15 right now. Very nice.
