Teema: II.1

its going to cost a lot now to replace. I think you should have replaced last season.

Example .. a goalie i looked to buy a season ago was sold for 100M. He was sold, again, a season later (end of last one) for 200M.

god knows how much he will cost if sold again at the end of the season

People have more money to throw around now.

that's what i am saying. there will be competition against people with more money and thus they wont come cheap.

Dont think one will be able to buy a 15-16yo 450OR 6/6 with very good qualities for 36M

that was the price i paid for my 15yo (now 16) Pivot 25 days ago.

I was calculation my predicted income this season and my tickets+media+general will be same or more than the sum of General from all 4 previous seasons!!! that is an insane amount of money.

its probably best of his interest to buy players within a week or two or else they will start to become too expensive.

I can't really afford to replace anyone unless I would be lucky enough to get a ton in return (whether last season or this season). If I sold players, I would probably just replace them with my current prospects and try to coast as a borderline playoff team for a while.

I wanted to be able to compare my team with and without the veterans without having to estimate away the energy modifier.

2 of my players, McCullough and Fitzpatrick are probably good enough to start (Fitzpatrick is already playing as a defensive specialist). The only problem is that neither of them have good qualities for shooting, and McCullough would be replacing the best player on my team at pivot. An alternative would be to keep everyone and simply integrate those two as defensive specialists.

I could probably sell a back or two now that I darfted keenan, but as last season (and hell, even the first few days of this season) has proven, losing two backs at the same time freaking sucks.

*flips table, walks out of proverbial room*

My opponent decided to play different tactics than the previous games... and I had counted a on him to use the same.

Your team has gotten chubby and lazy from all the easy(ier) matchups in division III lol.

That would be funny if I wasnt seriously irritated.

Don't be seriously irritated. You got out-done... it happens. Learn from it and move on.

To be brutally honest, if you dont want your competition to do what they can to try to win, then you probably shouldn't have left division III. Definitely don't go for division I.1. It wont be any easier in that regard.

Hopefully you weren't antipating an undefeated season. This division has some real good teams that will give you a run for your money every game.

buy one at the time and sell later. that is what i usually do .... got a goalie and pivot last season. sold one def winger.

replacing the whole team at once is crazy anyways

his team is still a very good one among the top. Problem is that he will often have to play against managers that pay much close attentions at tactics and stuff.

division ii.1 is a great "practice" to go to i.1 cause it is extremely competitive and tough.

I fully anticipated getting outdone in tactics, but I had 60 9 31 of winning that game even with the 2nd half tactic beatdown.

The new goaltender that I pulled seems to have an EQ of about 92. Too bad he has 281 OR and 5/6 CL. I wonder if the EQ would get me a good return.

If you can afford to do so, hold onto him and train him for a season or two.

I'm thinking that if he were instead 440 OR 5/6 CL 17 year old (with that EQ), he might be worth more.

Just my thoughts.
