i was ready to dominate and spent a month developing a recruiting stragey and then I was thrown into our current league which was capped at 38 level. I spend two weeks getting players for that league and now everyone wants equipment. If I was in the previous league, I had a lot of low 20 guys and I had to get rid of them. Now I have 40 level players and no $$$

Every single one of my players (at the moment) is slow-building. And they will all (eventually) have Custom Equipment.

BUT...I can't entirely dismiss the excerpted portion of your statement. And the "gutted to rebuild" thing drives me crazy.

perhaps. LOL

Sure as hell would have liked if BORT told us what would happen before last season and what is going to happen after this season. How are we supposed to plan. we only get vague ideas

But "gut to rebuild" thing isn't "slow-building"...it is people's desperate attempts to become competitive when they have no chance of doing so otherwise.

we would have been 11-0, but for the shuffle and lack of equipment. we play to win here.

I "cap-build" all my players - they get boosted every year and all ones over level 10 have CE

I was on a team that gutted 2 years ago - we built our players the cap-built way and in our 3rd season we are undefeated with lots of cash in the bank

at what level under 24. try to do that in a A level league. you would never catch up to the competition, that was the alleged purpose behind the shuffle.

I am an engineer - not so much on the creative side - lol
