Broke my long playoff slump, won my 3rd ever title!!!

I had some major beginners luck when I first started playing this game. My 2nd and 4th ever teams won the championship. I thought the game was relatively easy and then proceeded to go 62-100 trying to win in 86 Houston. I have since kept trying but haven't had much success. Most teams have missed the playoffs and when I have made it my club exited early.

I have tried 2011 now and have reached the playoffs a couple of times including a 1-0 gm 7 finals loss as my best performance. I have been getting very frustrated especially as my final Players Championship team fell apart and I officially won't qualify for the finals now.

But all is not lost, last night my favorite player (Tim Raines) and the reason I love playing the 86 set hit 2 bombs surprisingly and help my team come back from an 0-2 deficit in the finals and win the last 4 games in a row. This was the best team I have ever built and far better than my 2 previous teams that won the title. I look back at those teams and I have to laugh a little.

Team that won last night.
