Warrior General Games

Looks like a WL whose who. Us peasants are in for some "fun".

dangit - this season was supposed to be my shot

Most are farm teams who won’t care at all. No early boosting and just sticking AIs in for auto pilot

That might be even worse lol. No meaningful games until Season 111.

Yup just planting lil dots let them grow

GL to all and let's have fun AND get those builds "good" !!!

Yeah, every 7 seasons a new batch of dots will get started to replace the CL dots that have an 11 season life cycle. 4 to grow, and 7 plateau.

At least it'll be easy to remember in a football sim, just the touchdown years.

GL zz_man and the rest of you guys.

Also TJ makes a ton of sense. We weren't up to snuff for pro and CL so we cut bait a season early to try and redo somethings.

Hopefully we improve on the first go around.

Excited to play the game with you all, I haven't played dotball since season 33 or something but now more excited than I was back then. I'm a novice dot builder compared to you guys but I think it's fun to play against all these baby dot CL futures while I can.

dusk883 that was Sandlot193 and I last summer. We hadn't paid since probably season 40 and we both picked it back up again. It takes a minute to get reacclimated but now I'm hooked back in.

Taking me a bit longer to fit in but so excited to login everyday. Just got whooped in a scrimmage by Rome after my very best try hard effort. Gonna be a long season for me I can feel it. These little dots moving around is way more fun than my PlayStation ever was

Are you using "regular" AIs ? If so you'll find that certain things will work now and not later and vice versa...Especially when SAs are applied towards end build. What separates the very top teams from other very good teams are things like SAs VAs and particuarly Equipment....All those things help but some help more than others and that difference can be marked... In general a 5% piece of AEQ that highlights the dots MAIN responsibilty is much greater than a particular SA that targets for example a game situation etc

In general ALL defensive dots should at least have a % Make Tackle piece of AEQ and Sure Tackler SA
DLine need to emphasize both Make Tackle and also Break Block ...they will continue to miss tackles but will make more "vital" ones. I recommend all DL have at least 40 in CONF to slow down and/or prevent the morale/energy death spiral

As for plays the new play creator has really opened up the scope for OCs...Take tried and trusted plays such as SBB TE Clearout and tweak them to amplify your depth chart. By learning how to use these plays effectively you will come to find ways of slowing them down when used against you

Also keep in mind that some things may or may not be as "great" as they seem.. ie sacks and fumbles are great but they wont be the reason you win the bulk of your games...Tackling...getting recs open and doing things at the right time are far more important.... Basics win games and the best in the game such as Ryan and Tom get those honed down first before they"open things up"

And lastly... ASK...!!! Those top players are more likely to help than most and always appear ready to help. Theyre not on top because they have some hidden code they simply understand and execute better

Ive learnt more from a 40 point defeat than a 3 point win !!!

I'm using all custom AI and packages. I logged back in about 12 days before this season started and was playing around with a pee wee team. Probably 1/3 of the pass plays are custom and don't seem too bad after I shortened the route length inputs. Will definitely look at the TE Clearout. Probably going to do more of the standard passing plays and just write the bad ones off as I see them for the team build. I'm wondering how effective custom checkdowns can be as well. Nuts how much we can get into the weeds here, I love it.

I got whooped at the pee wee level. All the AEQ, SAs, and VAs I'll have to learn again when I get there. My first season back after 10 years. Bought a Rookie team and a couple of Pee Wee teams, recognized some peeps and have been asking questions here and there. Gonna add you to that list of peeps lol

I was beat up today at the dot build game I think... but think as the dots grow later into the first season it'll probably be ok. Enough to keep coming back for more punishment anyway. Pee Wee is built so different than Rookie teams I'm assuming so it'll be fun to switch modes when I plan for the Rookie team. You'll be whoopin me soon enough, I think we're in the same conference even. I imagine that I'll see how far the team can be "competitive", maybe restart after 4 seasons when the agents can join real teams and then I'll start new dots with lessons learned.

I tell you what though, I'm saving everything you just put on the table there. I wasn't aware of the equipment info you just shared. Or about Confidence.

Thank you for that info, zz!

EDIT: yeah, week 5 and 14 the Sharp Dressed Men vs Tombstone Hooligans - I'll have two notepads ready when I watch those replays. I realize you pro dot builders really are just building for the future, the real end game so I'm not seeing what I'll really end up seeing. Educational either way for me though. Hardest thing for me is to have the discipline to build for the same end goal, so tempted to "if I just had a bit more AGI secondary on my low level dot, I bet i can win more *now* as I "try hard" even at Rookie level

Good Game Hooligans.

Good game, La Flama Blancas!
