Fee for Pay League Announced
As mentioned previously (and repeatedly), League 15 will be the first entirely pay league at SimulatedSports.
The fee for League 15 will be a one-time buy-in of $20.00. For your $20.00 you will receive:
1. The opportunity to compete in the most competitive and active league ever known at SimulatedSports.
2. Your team will compete as an Upper-Tier-Team (UTT), also known as a Large Program. This entitles you to 83 recruiting points, 20 scholarships, the excel spreadsheet for recruits and the ability to see who you are tied with in recruiting.
3. Complete access to the SimStats site. The site is currently offline, but is undergoing some modifications and will re-launch prior to League 15's activation.
4. We will be either recruiting or drafting our teams. The talent will not be randomly distributed, so you may (this is still being fleshed out) have the opportunity to build for present or future success.
5. You OWN this team. This means that you will play as a UTT-program for life, with no additional fees.
6. Your League 15 account may be terminated (with no refund provided) if you violate the site rules of conduct or if your team is inactive. Please see below for inactive criteria.
The above are tentative pieces of information designed to provide guidance for (and encourage) your involvement in League 15.
Inactive Criteria
Inactive (abandoned) teams will be returned to computer control, with no refund provided. To maintain active status, you must meet the following requirement: at some point after the third (3RD) week of games (game 9), you must perform some coaching action, either a roster move or a recruiting action. Using the Autorecruiter does not count as a recruiting action. |

All 4 of my maxes are in the top 40. I might just continue to max all 4 to the end and say the heck with it. This will be the third season of average basketball and I am getting tired of it. I might just go for broke with these guys. I’ll more than likely back off of at least one of them. If any of you can give me a nudge to go for broke, I’d appreciate it! :)

Balls- I think you should go for broke.
I think the way to win this league is go for broke with your recruiting class. Once you get one or two players studs players, build around them with lessor recruits the next two seasons and try to win when your studs are juniors or seniors.
At least that's how I'm gonna do it. My juniors were ranked #2/#9 so I'm trying to do it with them.
DWetzal, I ended up dropping off Lay, I just didn't want to get into a tie with a 5'8" player. I'm maxing Kellen Rollins (#60). I'll probably drop off Rollins or Pearl (most likely Pearl.)
I tried a new backup strategy in L4 and it worked really well, I'm thinking it might be the strategy Jeff has used so well the past couple of seasons. I want to try it in L15 so I can't max 4 the whole season.

I was thinking the same thing FP. I'm going to continue to max all 4 at least until the W3's come out. Maybe there will be a chance I can get lucky with the safety netters.

Crews came out a 9/9. I think atleast 2 of the don't match his prefs and the 1 guy I think does, is talking about maybe dropping him. Hmmm.
Rudd came in at 8/8. No clue here.
Shackleford also came in at 8/8. Again, no clue.
My main backup, I trail 56 to 66 but its a 1/1: 7'1" Logon Donoho (29). His Good- for Win hurts us.
I have a few backups I am close on, but don't know if I "go for the gusto" on the large ties. Ugh.

Ulp, well, sorry FP... Lay ended up clear.
Malik Jarboe (C15, FFEFGF PG) is a 1/1
Darryl Pearl (C15 stud SG) is an 8/8 and I'll drop.
Freddie Winebrenner (C23, EGEFEF PG) is a 3/3.
Not a lot of love in the safety net but enough to take a shot at one or two people and see if I get lucky.

Flying Polack (Lansing Spartans) is in the NTT finals. In case noone knew. I think he's out of town now, so I guess even he doesn't know.
Good luck balls. I'll need some as well, as I've got no clear leads.

I'm sick of Lg15 recruiting.
Funny thing is one of the main reasons I joined was so I could have 83 RPs every week. I realize we're all on an equal playing field, but 70 just makes recruiting so limited. I don't even care if the ties are bigger, I want to be on more than 4 recruits at a time!

RSF, I was thinking the same thing until these new recruits arrived. I win a 4/4 tie for a +5 recruit and bring in a +9/-1 class. This does raise my interest in this lg up a notch.
I am starting to think that these leagues that are difficult to recruit in just aren't any fun, or not as fun as the less active leagues. In the real world, coaches know who they are signing on signing day. In the less active leagues you can usually find a clear lead or two or three. You pretty much know who you are going to sign in those leagues. Lg 15 is not even close to the real world. To much luck involved if you ask me.
I should note that Polack's NTT championship was because of his mad skillz and not luck. :)

I'm not even complaining about 4/4 or 5/5 type of ties. I've been on mostly 1/1 or 2/2s and can't get the luck to pull the player, despite what I considered to be more favorable preferences.

Hey guys! I was on vacation last week and I returned to watch a great final four.
I won the semi-finals game by 1 on a buzzer beater after blowing a 14 point second half lead.
I won the finals by 2 with a jumper with 18 seconds left-- my opponant missed a 3 at the buzzer. I was down 14 early in the second half and came back.
This has got to be one of the worst champions in league history, I've had several teams in L4 that I believe were rated much higher than this Lansing squad.
My lineup was:
PG +5 -- bPG +1
SG +5 -- bSG +2
SF +3 -- bSF +2
PF +3 -- bPF +2
C +5 -- bC 0

I've got a guy in my top 35 recruits that is a 6'6 SG averaging over 15 ppg and 1.4 stls and 2.1 to's. He is a fair- scout with terrible attributes. The top person on him has 16 points, I have 15 and the W3 is 1/2. No one has put any points on him since the W3's were released. Anyone enterested? Leave an email addy if you are and I'll send you his info.
Depending on what happens this week I might have another guy that I have a clear lead on that I can give to a good home. :) I'm hoping to catch up on another recruit this week. I'll post again next week if he becomes available.
How many of us are in this league now?
