NHG started in S14, and found ourselves in Casual Pro by S19, all by using a "conventional passing QB", and a ground and pound rushing attack. So NHG has been from Cap 4 to the Pros by using the passing QB.
In S18, we were in AAA, and came across the Dallas Badgers. They were the 1st team, that I saw that used extensively 3 rushing QBs. I had seen other teams run it with some success, but not like the Badgers. They were unbeatable, relying on 90% QB runs. Did I feel they cheated, because they were using exploits.......No, but I felt it was unfair that we had spent 5 seasons building a cookie cutter team, which couldn't hold a candle to their team. I was envious...Jealous, they had the knowledge, agents, and confidence to do something different. After a season in the Pros, which was forgetful, we hit the reset button in S20. Much discussion was put into our roster, and by the slimmest of margins we decided to go with the rushing QB system. I felt in order for us to compete with the best of the best, we had to use rushing QBs. We had success in S20 and S21, even after the spy implements. Now, I don't feel it's difficult to beat a team with a rushing QB. If anything, after the changes during midseason S21 to add 6 spies, there are no more excuses. If you lose to a rushing QB team, it's not an exploit, you just got beat by a better team. If I remember, GBW had a pretty good team until the changes were implemented
I feel like there is a distinct possibiltiy, that well rounded teams like Darkness, A/O, ReDisturbed, Mustang Nation will simply develop better and faster than teams such as NHG and Detroit. We are playing "catch up" on our builds, where the other teams are still building on a plan, while we are trying to modify our dots during their careers. NHG will stick it out, until we can no longer be competitve before we pull the plug again. I enjoy the rivalries, the competition, and even the arguements on the forums.... I don't say much, as bad teams should say very little, and great teams should say even less...to steal a quote from Raven.....just my .02
