Well, the "Battle of the Basement" went about as expected. Low scoring affair with very little to get excited about.
Indeed a basement battle. We where hoping to win this one game, as it was one of the few we had some remote chance at winning. Next game it would take a miracle, but we will look for said miracle!
I loved the "Battle of the Basement" title for our game.
I just watched our Battle and it was a good one. Fighting for a little respect I think. Your guys made a valiant comeback effort. Onward and upward to better things next season.
Jlyman and Brucehum,
I love the positive attitude. Understanding that it takes time to both build a winning francise and still using each game as a measurement for future success is the key to this game.
Every single game is a learning experience, even if it just teaches you what not to do. I applaud both of you for your competitiveness despite your record as well as your dedication to the longterm success of your teams.
The beauty of this game is that it can take seasons to achieve success but it's all about the process that makes this a great sim. I like to give the example of my team in the Arena league. When I took it over, the team was a mess and in a division with 2 great owners that dominated. It took me 6 seasons to finally reach the playoffs but that made it that much sweeter.
Unfortunately that league, now that I'm primed to make a run at the title has stopped spinning because we dont have enough owners. If either of you wants another team, it's a good opportunity to grab one you can mold into a winner.
