But I caution you, the AH was full then and most people were still looking at OVR and stuff for pitchers. I got very good movement pitchers much cheaper then. I still recommend building a team around pitching and defense, but that is me. There are different ways to start building but you lose if you start over again and again with different plans. If what you want is not there do not buy something else just to buy something hoping for success, Stick with your plan and be patient.

I will do my best. My biggest problem is that I haven't found a plan that works yet. So I've had to tear down my concept several times. I will finally figure it out and absolutely annihilate bronze. Then that team will promote and be dead last in silver, get relegated or just barely NOT get relegated, and I'll blow that concept up for some adjustments which then do well in silver. I then get to gold and get SMASHED. And that's where I am currently. I've easily bought, sold, and bought again the same players many times. Largely because it's what's available, but also because that player might not work in my first plan, but then they have a better shot of working in my new concept. I wish there was a way to just stay in silver, which feels like a good fit for me, while I tinker with concepts. The problem there is when I tinker I lose, and get relegated. If I don't tinker I have a chance of making it to gold to get destroyed. So I can never plan on my concept for gold while in silver, but by the time I make it to gold my concept sucks for gold and I have to tear down which inevitably gets relegated.
Phew...it's a never-ending cycle...seemingly.
Like, is it a completely stupid idea to consider possibly having a choice of being relegated or not? Perhaps I can tell my team is last but my concept is solid and only needs a small ballpark tweak or something of the sort. If there was a way to choose to not get relegated I could work on the concept for a season or two, then if I was still last I would say I need to be relegated. I know it's probably a terrible idea, but it feels right for me. Silver is a good competitive level for me for now. However, I'm afraid to try my concept for gold because I might get relegated, and then gold s 2 seasons away instead of one. I apologize if I am making no sense, but I feel like a ping pong ball constantly going up and down up and down.
