a little trash talk does make it a little more fun, but allot of trash talk makes it allot NOT FUN. especially for the by standers.

I dunno, I guess I fail to see the allure of trash-talking in a game so heavily based on concrete numbers which have been so clearly defined prior to the game even taking place, especially when there is so little direct control over the outcome of each individual play.
I mean, it ends up being nothing more than a clearly superior team coming in and beating their chests, and then predictably succeeding, due mostly to longevity of the players or at least the owner/agent relationships. Or you'll lose because you suck. Either way, meh.
Well, yeah. But you have to add something interesting to it yourself. I compensate for the random factor by talking the forums about it. Trash talking passes the time and is enjoyable IF it's done fairly and doesn't overtly insult teams.I like the approach you take to the game, I agree.
But still, at least give me some ammo to make fun of
Edit: But I disagree on the "concrete numbers" determining the game before it's even played. With passing the way it is right now, and no tactic update yet for coaches, it's still random. You could go for 400 passing yards and 5tds, or 200 3 ints and 2 sacks. There is still a lot randomly decided in game, which adds to the matchups.
You already have your ammo - my LBs are as weak as Deion Sanders after chemo.

Duly noted. I try to keep it fun. I'm not one of those guys who takes this league super seriously. I'm here for fun. Only reason I've posted this way was otehrs were too, so I piped in. Especially your own GM

But, that only works for one post Realistically, your team worries me. We don't have a passing game or running game to shut down..we have both to deal with. We could very easily lose to the balanced attack you have.

Mind if I ask a question - what is so bad about using caps? Admitted, sometimes it bugs me too, but I cant figure out why.
P.S: If you did in fact mind me asking a question, then you shouldnt have continued reading.

It's just used for attention, JJ. He uses it to differ his posts from others. Also, it's considered a form of "screaming", so he's yelling his teams superiority over everyone else, which insults us all. I couldn't care less what team he plays for or how they are doing, but all he does is push his own team and insult whoever comments differently.
At least show some humility, and the caps just make it that much worse.
Haha, raider. I'm glad most of you do I look forward to the future of this league, it's deep and fun as hell in the forums.

Personally it makes it more difficult to read when everything is in caps, and then where there are atrociously misspelled words, it makes it even worse.

I totally disagree. I mean yeah, there are some teams that are clearly better than others, and those games are basically decided in advance. But the teams that are evenly matched, not at all. Look at the first game of the season - GCP beat us but the sims were glitched and when they re-ran it, we beat them. What's the difference (beside my game-saving interception)? the randomness. In addition, there are team tactics, energy tactics (look at Samara last game), individual tactics (maybe people try to strip the ball and miss tackles, maybe people play too conservative and don't get picks that they could have), player builds (maybe if I had put one more point into speed, I would have caught that guy), etc.
When the teams are pretty evenly matched, we have no idea what to expect. That's what makes this game so much fun. Talking about it on the forums, and laying down a little smack, makes it even more fun.
