Warrior General Games

Was looking at my AIs and saw the saved AIs I have for the O Pro crew, to look at for the few bits and pieces that worked to have for next season if desired.

Realized they were all not likely to be needed next season.

Sad Panda. *sniff*

Not to be overly harsh but it's not like they really worked all that great in the first place. Of course it is hard to tell because you need better players as a general rule.

Oh I know.

Some plays do work.

See I only get to game plan maybe one or two formations a game.

When those formations work, I figured I may as well save the game plan so its a step saved, so that then the game plan will have two or four formations game planned next time around. Assuming they stay the same from season to season which they often do.

Of course usually I forget which ones work and start from scratch anyway. But this season I took better notes.

Bad timing, like when I stocked the Nat Pro teams with some of my 240 day players thinking to get the chem hit out of the way so I could compete in 31 as had been the game plan for a long time now.....

Why do you only gameplan 1 or 2 formations per game? That's like putting in 20% of a gameplan each week. You either need to gameplan all out for each game or put in some sort of general gameplan that doesn't need to be adjusted or not much. But of course the full gameplan is the best. Once you get to the top levels of the game you pretty much have to do a full gameplan for every game unless your team has 1400+ build value. But gameplanning 20% for each game is pointless. You won't beat good teams with that effort so the 20% you put in is just wasted.

Time. Long hours, long commute, Daddy Playmate, and naggy lazy wife.

Plenty of time to multi task and post on forums, maintain dots, etc. But focused quiet time to breakdown all the tag and situation combos in a formation over a season is hard to come by.

Like this morning, cartoons blaring in ears, painting room, drawing with my tot, playing etc. Managed to get my rooks maintained over breakfast but no time to really concentrate on the next teams tendencies.

As for a general plan that serves I think I made - though I had to make a new one this season. But thats only good enough if we are not fighting uphill.

Talking Defense here. I have OC's everywhere this season.

As for the 20% not being enough, depends. I try to get the two formations they play most often. But yeah, more would be better.

If I do it right, lol. Have totally broken down an opponent only a few times and usually I over did it and got plastered.

Well I got five and a half formations game planned this time. Maybe five and a quarter really.

Unfortunately the quarter is in his most often used formation and was about the lesser uses of it. I did not get the short yardage strong I's defended.

Well the stuff I gameplanned for worked really well.
