I think teams that have figured out how to advance through the playoffs have a big advantage.


Last season the NY Grizzlies were looking forward to a rematch with Pittsburgh until Huntsville knocked them off. We beat Huntsville and made it here. Going based upon your logic that means your rankings are flawed.

in what league? I think the conversation stems around advancing in a#4, not in BBB

The Raiders are struggling and the Griz are going under. What is going on with A #4.

that's what happens when you don't win. there's not really any way to improve a mediocre team to a great team. whereas a good team can keep signing/attracting more players due to having more money. this is why i think hawaii will keep winning. although i will say with all their home playoff games meaning level 24 eq, the pewnts have a good shot next year...but so will the 2 new teams.

my logic is that if you roll through the playoffs one year, you will do it again the next year because you know what the difference in the sim is. whereas i don't really have a clue so we'll prob get crushed in the first or second round again next season.

I dont think we are struggling, now. Season 4 is going to be good for us.

I understand your logic Darren, but when you say 'mediocre team', you mean the Bolts, right?

if we are mediocre and have beating you twice, what does that make the Raiders?

Not so...the Grizz were a mediocre team after season 1...We went out season 2 and found a couple guys who were willing to make a solid team...we then got even better by making a couple risks on trades that turned out to really be a huge help...might have hurt us for season 2 as our chemistry hit the crapper for awhile...but we were a force to reckon with...we finished our team out season 3 with some final touches at WR and ran through this league with an undefeated record...granted the Sharks took us in the end...but hey, they are a great team and we could have played 10 times and likely split the games in the end...point is...you have to be patient and the team will come...if it wasnt for all this new hoopla of tactics we likely would have stayed in the business...but bhall and myself dont have the time to control all of that and it makes no sense to own a team if we are going to let other people run it...so the end result was to sell it off...at least we left the next owner with nearly an entire stadium...anyone who wants to piss and moan us gutting the team should take a look at the expansion teams...they dont get half the benefits we are giving a new owner by giving them this team...anyways...good luck to all...hope to see you down the road...

That is in the past tense, right?

I'll be seeing you on the Redskins forum, my man. Glad you're out of this league.

The Pittsburgh Steel will definitely be a very tough Team in the East.
At least I'm really looking forward to meet them again.
