件名: II.4

Most of mine are in the 85-87 range. Lower than I would like and it really showed at the end of the season.

Going to be interesting to see what happens in Div 1 play. Without a lot of NoNs, energy management will really be key.

Huggy Bears, it looks like you have a pretty tough matchup for the promotion round. Looks to be a quality team despite the record. They were playing fairly well near the end of the season.

I'm definitely going to have to earn my way into II.1 against the Torpedoes. They notched some quality wins down the stretch. Nothing is going to be handed to me.

I've got a big week with the two promotion games and the CWC finals. The only rough part of it is that I still have to run my two camps, and the last one is going to bleed into Season 3, putting me in a hole the first two games if I do make it to II.1

I have no idea if my approach is going to pay off, but I sunk a ton of money into my stadium today. I took my season's winnings and a new loan out to boost my stadium to all large stand-ups instead of sticking with facilities. I hope I draw in enough extra cash to make it pay off, but I just as easily could have just signed the death warrant that puts me in III.X.

I used my winnings to complete upgrades for all medium standups for a similar reason, but I have enough cash left to continue facility upgrades.

I only upgraded my large stand-ups to 800 capacity. I know that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but the rationale behind it is that I couldn't afford to do 2400 on all of them and I'd really like to get press boxes started as soon as possible. The upgrade time and cost to get them all to 2400 is palatable for the regular season. I have 15 days until they're all large stand-ups which is just in time for the next season and the idea of taking just 9 days to upgrade (while also constructing the press box upgrades) makes sense to me. If I up capacity on one or two sections a week, I can continue to spend on facilities and won't be down too much capacity either. Fortunately with my loan I did get enough cash to boost HR and EC as well.

I'll only start the season with 11,200 capacity, but about 5 weeks in I should have a capacity of 19,200 all with press box level 1 and snack and fan shops at level 2.

I had really good turnout all season and I have no idea what my average turnout would have been if I had had greater capacity. If that average turnout would have been closer to 20k, the upgrades will be really smart investments and should pay off by the end of next season. If it turns out that my average turnout this season is already about at max, it's going to be mostly a waste of money. In my position sitting here in II.4, I don't feel like I can really afford to sit back and not take chances though.

Tyson and now Willis, thats just not fair...

But I have to say, you are all going to have a huge problem with the Boilermakers next season. Just list his players by OR and look at the AvgQ of his top players including is 12/31 pull. This team is stacked.

I have a few players with outstanding ORs, but I don't think I've trained them extremely well. I've read and discussed various builds on various forums. Hopefully I can balance out some of the attributes during these two training camps at the end of the season. My OTS dropped during the season, so either my training was inaccurate or my energy usage wasn't too high.

Good luck in Division I, CTD. Hopefully you take the Huggy Bears with you as well.

Ended up losing in the promotion round. I had too many important games this season with battling for 2nd, the NC, CWC, and promotion round that, in the end, my players expended too much energy to play effectively.

Goodluck in II.1 Dark and I'll see everyone else in Season 3.

Oh that sucks you had a real tough draw. I wish you the best of luck next season and hope to see a couple of you up next season (but not at my expense)!

Nice match with the Bears today even if it was only a friendly and we both had players in camp. It was really well played.

Oh and its I.1

I need to work on my force powers it seems...

Nice friendly today with our B team I'll try out some odd formation tomorrow and see out round 2 plays out.

I'm trying out something unusual as well, you'll see....

Should be an interesting match!
