Warrior General Games

Good afternoon, guys! Just three-and-a-half hours until the games SIM, and I'm as anxious as anyone to see the results. I'm foregoing my playoff report this week, as ALL 8 Zeta playoff teams have clinched a spot. However, I will run down the scenarios for the playoff positioning, which isn't as clear. Let's let 'er rip!

Thanks Collins good read.

We're seriously bummed over in Redscape. We really expected to be contenders this season... for the playoffs definitely and possibly for even a home game.

Not sure where to go from here...

Glad to be of service! I hope I can have time to do something else as the playoffs are going along!

Redscape didn't do terribly, finishing at 7-9. That's certainly much better than anyone thought you'd be at 1-7.

Here's some tips I've found useful:

1. Builds first, levels second.
I've seen Level 25 CBs with 70 speed, 35 agility, 50 stamina, 20 tackling, and points loaded in SAs. I've seen Level 18 CBs with 60 speed, 55 agility, 30 stamina, 30 tackling, and points distributed into important SAs. Which one's going to be the better CB? Finding those diamonds in the rough can help teams turn around quickly.

2. Go hard after FAs: be detailed and honest.
Try to connect with those agents through PMs. You likely already do this, so this is probably superfluous. Regardless, lay out the situation, and sell your team hard to them. Start early. Heck, I've already started for Season 6. Dedicate a good deal of time to it, and you'll get there.

3. Don't be afraid to open the wallet for a big time player, but don't sell your soul.
Take a chance by offering an agent a higher contract. Show the agents that you're willing to go the extra mile for them. But don't pay $200K for a Level 15 CB, either. Take a chance and go for it; you won't be disappointed.

I hope this helps, and I don't mind if everyone uses it. I'd rather help those who really want the help than hoard it like a company secret.

Well, all of the Redscape agents are friends from another website... we haven't decided if we're ready / willing to open the team to other agents yet.

We'd really like to sort out our builds and go with who we have... bringing along some key improvements through our own system. The problem is, we didn't know how to build some players at the beginning. For example, my FS is a level 31, but probably worse than average for that level. We've debated going with the nuclear option and recreating our entire team from scratch... but have decided against it for now.

Ah, I see.

I understand, I didn't build players very well when I was a noob, either. My kicker's a little worse off than I'd like him to be. Whichever path you choose, I wish you the best on it.
