You got it all wrong BoxwrencH. We all spent several seasons in Gold spending flex like everyone else there. A few seasons ago, we made the decision to have fun and keep our flex to build each season as the game was entirely too expensive continually playing the Boost/CE game. In Gold the chances of being competitive without Boosting/CE is not good.

So our team choose to have fun with out spending the extra flex and if we win great. If not no big deal we will recycle all of our flex and live to fight another day. You took my post completely out of context.


I took nothing out of context. I quoted your entire post. Including the bold print.

Congratulations. You won without boosting and CEQ.

See you next season with my 70% recycled flex.

What you took out of context was the fact that the playoffs started with 16 teams of which 4 chose to boost and the rest of us had chosen not to boost at the time I made my original post. Any one of the 16 teams can win it all. For any of the teams including us that choose not to boost, we will all need excellent game planning and good builds to have a chance of success against a boosted team. It was an observation and I am sorry you took it the wrong way.

Good luck next season.

We boosted. Hopefully we will be gone next season. We want to compete on the highest level.

Like Mountainjack was saying boosting will not insure you anything. If your AIs and game planning suck you will likely lose just the same.

Thank you Boxwrench,

MountainJack1940, I agree the game gets expensive.
If you look through out my roster, we did not boost everyone, why???
because we are doing the same thing as you and recycling my flex points. do I spend money on flex, very rarely nowadays.

I hope that we meet in the championship game, I think it will be a good game. We both got some great builds and we both got great guys that can game plan. But I have two tough games I have to play first to get that far, Montreal is a sleeper team, that can put up points. And amazon, is a tough team with solid builds... Now boise can upset Amazon and show us all how good they really are. They held my team to our lowest scoring game all season. They have a stout defense.

Anyways, the playoffs, should remain very interesting. and seams like coming this round and next round it will be hard to predict the winners!

Good luck to everyone!

Hell, LFL didn't boost the whole team. I've been doing this game for 21 seasons now and blew away all my old players and teams. The ending result was an assload of flex just sitting there. That's why I boosted my players, I had the flex to waste the 30%, no biggie.

As far as boosting for success that doesn't always work. For 21 seasons the AI has changed when the playoffs start. Happens every damn season. So we shall see what happens. Good Luck Montreal should be a fun game to watch.

You won't even begin to succeed in PW gold unless you boost and have CEQ. Not to mention superior builds and great coordinating.


What's your definition of success? There have been teams (WVWP & SAS for example) that have had good regular seasons (SAS had a #1 seed) and even won some playoff games. Winning a championship, though, would be extremely difficult.

There have been a fair number of teams win their silver league w/o boosting, beating 3-4 boosted teams to get there.

I guess WVWP's stance is that we've been doing this for years and we all agree that boosting at the end of the season for 1-4 games is just not worth the money in OUR opinion. If you are a good team and you really want to win the league, it might be worth it to you. However, if you have been giving it a good effort all season and still lost 4+ games, typically boosting still isn't going to win you anything.

there wasn't a whole lot of effort being put into the regular season, not the type to sit there and gameplan for every single game when i know i can make the playoffs without doing so. everyone starts out 0-0 and so far we are 1-0. We boosted, not all of our players (like mine) but if you're trying to get to gold, like lfl said, boosting and custom eq are a must at that level, even if it is a waste of money, this game period is a waste of money though..any money spent on it.

You can be semi competitive in gold without boosting. You have to get your wins early before the top teams boost week 7. If you make it to the playoffs you will likely get destroyed in the first round if you do not boost.
