თემა: I.1

With the injury of the best American player in the top division, Mojo Xpress officially is not a contender in the P.O.

Training campitus

Wonderful ANOTHER 1 goal loss.... the 8th one this season... I think I'm going to scream.

You disappointed me. I counted on you today.

Yeah. Without my best player, i don't have a chance to even advance to a second round.

What makes it even worse is it seems I lost to his B team

Exactly. Now he is just a hair behind me.

Well... I can't help it.. I tried.. the random game generator gods seem to hate me. Worst timing too... still fighting for a playoff spot to avoid having to play a promo/relegation series

Just to give some USA managers a heads up... I've started to put up some of my starters along with a few others... more to follow in the upcoming days

so is everyone in division I.1 rebuilding now?

I feel like everyone is selling off their team.

It's sounding like division I.1 might be weaker next season that some of the II divisions. o_O

I'm keeping some starters so it's not as if I am going to be completely depleted... and I have some decent young players in the pipeline I acquired.. we'll see what happens. And I get some cash to continue facilities/arena building

not really. it will just make D2 "easier"

Team USA started the process long ago. And will relegate for sure.

Ashai Babies started the process late in the season and wants to relegate.

Fighting Okra announced late the season would make some sells.

Salt Lake announce the team wold fold but never happened. Not sure if team will fold or relegate.

Orlando Generals, Last Place McGees and Microwave did not rebuild but for some reason had a horrible season (probably cause the league is very strong now and that could just happen to anyone).

So we have
1 team that lost fun playing the game
2 teams that wants to relegate
3 teams that just failed

I dont see where "many" teams want to rebuild. Half of those just failed. If they go down AND the ones that want to relegate it would make D1 even stronger not weaker.

And next season other 3 or goo great teams will fail too just because the league is tough.

Filip Cebl The best 10k that i ever spend.

In my mind, it's one thing for some of the teams that struggled to "rebuild," but that's not what's happening. The rebuilding teams, as you indicated, are not the teams that "just failed."

The teams that are "rebuilding" are/were really decent teams.

Team USA finished 1st, 4th, and 8th in the first three seasons. That's hardly screaming for a "blow up and rebuild."

Babies had one of the highest team ratings in the USA before he blew up his team. He had a team rating of 44 ALMOST A MONTH AGO. Even today, that would be good enough to have him tied for 2nd best in the country!!

Fighting Okra just advanced into I.1 this season, and is a playoff team. That's incredible for a first year in (especially this "late in the game" ), and now he's selling players now too. I don't care if he's "only selling a few," selling 3 guys that are over 400 OR and replacing them with younger guys (what he suggests he might do) is a rebuild. His team rating will likely drop 5-6 points from where it is now.

Don't get me wrong, every manager is entitled to do whatever he/she wants with his/her team... but I just find it crazy that several great teams (which many players including myself would DREAM to have) are suddenly deciding that they aren't good enough and rebuilding.

Future starter of yours?
