Warrior General Games

Tier One

Liverpool Outlaws
The Outlaws are the legitimate power in this conference. Recently given a #1 overall seed in the annual EEA Tournament, the Outlaws are looking sharp. With offensive and well as defensive prowess, and the addition of the Helsinki Devil's former owner Johnny Patches as a strength and conditioning coach, it'll be hard to top the gang from Liverpool.

Portland Niners
Niners are sitting pretty good on a decent schedule. Only a few teams below them will really give them any trouble. With a powerful offense, Portland will put up a lot of points; it's up to their defense to make or break the team's season.

Tallinn Nightmare
The real strength in this team might be their quarterback. Jeebs had a 120 or so QB rating last season, and is only on the first part of what might be a massive upswing. They also have a strong front two, so look for a 4-3 defense that will stop the run cold.

Tier Two

Pecs of Steel
Pecs have been bouncing in A for a little while, and I suspect they might have their eye set on the prize this season. They'll be in the playoff picture because of their depth, but they'll be outclassed by other team's starters. Look for them to maybe have a strong fourth quarter attack.

Saratov Blaze
Also original members of EEA4, and still here. They have a huge stadium, and some money to toss around, which makes them candidates for late-season acquisitions that could power their now decent team into the upper tier. If not, they'll be stuck in another season of mediocrity
.

Birmingham Bulldogs
Just in the second tier, the league really thins out. The Bulldogs are not a legitimate contender this season, but stand a chance in at least making it into the second round of the playoffs. If they can acquire a little more talent, they might even make it a decent season.

Everyone Else

Nice write up

looks good thanks for the write up.

I see no bias whatsoever in the Outlaws right up.

What. So. Ever.

Hey, never said it was an unbiased report. I also know the most about that team. And who would you stick up there?

You guys, until we play.

Alpha continues their dominance over Zeta. That was a surprise.

What stinks is that this league ranges from teams focused on 20-29, 30-39, and 40-45. That range of levels is pure stupid. With mass reorganization, you would think a new level cap would make sense for signing new players.

The only difference between top tier and bottom tier in my opinion is how old the team is and where you came from. Most of the BBB teams are between 20-35 and most of the teams that were A and AA last year are 35-45.

I'm not saying this to complain, but to reference the list and tiers and why they are so obvious and so far apart. Apocalypse will have a good year.

I agree, but aggressive recruiting could have put you up there.

Could have also dropped chem into the toilet, plus a lot of the builds are 5-10 levels ahead of their time. The drop in chem, making winning very difficult, plus the loss of quality players this year and exceptional players next year is not worth the aggressive recruiting. Would probably yield the same results with the chem drop anyway.

We didn't do any recruiting, we want to win with who we have and plan to sometime in the near future. Our experience and builds will put us ahead at least 5+ levels, so we'll be fine where we are

This is exactly why I brought in only 1 new agent and all the players we've brought in for a boost are our own players that we're 1 season ahead of us with the same strong builds. Apocalypses and Chute Boxe have the same plans.I just wish our side was as easy as your's I can see you guys advancing this year at least by next year. I might have to bring in my flock of level 40 +'s players to win this Alpha conference. Such strong teams and strong builds, I dont know what to do.

To OtisDriftwood
Our conference is much easier, no doubt. We expect to promote either this year by being a surprise team that pulls a couple upsets or next year when top 2-4 teams move on.

To BetaSunn,
We could have recruited like you said and I've done that on other teams, but this team is a little unique. All the players were created at the same time by very experienced GM's and were slow built to maximize their builds, so the idea is to keep that together. We may wait one year to promote, but if we win two League Championships in 3 seasons, that is worth it.

Some teams build through FA and put together a great team every year and some teams build for commraidery. We chose the second. We'll still be successful, but we will likely need to try to promote every other year for BBB, A, and AA. It is hard to say if this team will be a force in AAA unless player skills start to suffer after 10 seasons. Bort and DD said on the radio that they will likely only decline a little, so that means AAA teams could have level 50 players right now and we are only at level 26. Not a fair matchup no matter how good your builds are.

Ya, my own team basically stuck with all of their same players. I think its risky to recruit new agents, when the ones that you have are active and are building the right way.

We have many of our first agents; we've just replaced maybe 1/3 of our overall players.
