Oh boy I love drawing a top ranked team in the tier above me. CPE in the same situation

Yep, the range for ladder draw doesn't make sense, I mentionned it once but nobody seem to care.

I mean a team play 15 ladder games in a season why would the range be so wide and create some hyper imbalanced games?
A 15 range would still allow a lot of movement in the ladder and would still create some imbalanced matchup but the games would be somewhat winnable and interesting atleast.

I wonder what is the winning % of teams playing a team 20 ranks higher, it's probably in the 10-15% range and it's probably exclusively when facing a CPU or inactive owner team.

I guess it is a little weird that as JMan is starting to play the Pro teams, we're playing the upper tier ones instead of the ones ranked right at us or behind us.

Wonder if the scheduling is done to prioritize ladder matchups of similar Tier Ranks, even across Tiers?

I mean, it does seem like in-tier ladder matches are better this season. HAHA ranked 6th or 7th or something has played Pro #9 and is now playing Pro #5.

Virgins JMan #2 is playing Pro #2. So maybe I'm not mistaken?

my first game with the Cobras when we hit Seasoned was playing the no.1 j-man team. it can always be worse

Anyway...couldnt really gameplan much, hope that the SP difference helps us win this one, tho. gl Virgins. the Boobs/Virgins time was great

GG CPE You guys did well to hang n there, see you again tomorrow when HKD plays you.

lol, love how we dropped down a spot after the loss.

GG Virgins...as expected, not a great gameplan but builds helped win this. GL with better ladder draws from now on.
This GL stand tho^^

Somehow Mannhiem got matched with the Hawaii Bulls who are a tier higher and many ranking spots higher, it'll be an easy win for the Bulls, just seems strange we would matched with them and not a lower ranked Pro team.

GG Greyhounds, I am pretty damn surprised

Woh, GG Zombie Apocalypse! I guess I haven't game planned enough this season or something. Didn't realize that corner blitzes were broken against counters.

Lesson brutally learned.

4-3 CB Blitz is actually pretty good against it

Could be, but Nickel Overload is disastrous:

The blitzing corner does the dumbest thing ever here. After running in a circle he creates a traffic jam pinning all of the other defenders inside.

Dime Strong Overload completely loses contain:

The whole point of blitzing a corner is to set an edge in the run game forcing the runner either inside, or severely slow his path outside so help can arrive.

These things do neither. Maybe 43 CB Fire still works as intended, but the rest of the blitzing corner plays are definitely broken.

This thread still going? 170 pages?

I announced it in the team forum a few days ago, but wanted to post here as well for visibility. No Name is folding/resetting after this season. Want to let you guys know so that you can reach out directly to agents to try and get them for next season... I'm hoping they all end up on great homes.

No Name is currently 1st overall in the tier, why are you resetting/folding?
