Uhh... Carolina will be in the NC West, since FOF is awesome and doesn't allow for realignment.

There really should be some sort of house rule. The game is obviously broken in that it wont allow renovations but wont allow us to move. There should be a rule of some sort where if you try to renovate 3 times and cannot fix or move, we should be allowed to move with GM assistance.

Im not talking half ass attempts. Im talking minimal upgrades requested, matching as much money as possible, etc etc.

[Matt]

had we started out using FOF2k7 we would have been able to start out with a level playing field.
since we didn't, we do have some shit spots out there. Poor oakland had a stadium built and is stuck with it for 16yrs.

AND
I would suggest that if you are trying to build something, maximize your offer. Obviously, i think that it has a greater chance of working the higher the public support is.

Hello third and fourth level coaches... forever.

Ugh.

and I still disagree with this statement. there is a strategy that can be played here. Perhaps you won't get a shot at a top tier coach, but there are very respectable 2nd tier coaches that you can slip offers in to while others fight over the big cheese. If you can do this while you have a coach under contract, it doesn't cost you a thing.

[Jave]

had we started out using FOF2k7 we would have been able to start out with a level playing field.

That has actually proven to be quite aggravating. It's small, not many "money" seats, and Oakland isn't the ideal city for a team. I don't know if I'll move, but it would have been nice to at least have the option to improve it, or move to a bigger city with a better stadium. I think I still have 3-4 more years before I can do anything.
