This is the part I can't stand...but yeah the first two seasons at least the replays are completely unwatchable!

As an OC, whenever I'm involved with a start up team I make it clear that it will be S3 at a minimum before I show any type of care all. Usually S4 or S5 tbh.

S3 is the first time the builds start to be able to even do the standard stuff...Regional Pro is when the fin just barely starts.

SWAT did pretty well on the way up. 2 golds in E1 plus a Pro silver on the way back up.

We didnt do anything special, just kept up with eq & the like rather than waiting until plateau.

Honestly...most WL teams CAN hang in ELITE the whole way up with a decent base AI and just updated Equipment/VA's...just most WL teams are literally ZERO cares until at least Regional Pro...usually not even until Pro...and without the EQ/VA's/Decent Base AI....they have no chance.

yeah, a good team of builders can win some gold by just updating equipment and applying VAs. maybe gameplan a little for the CCG if you make it

We haven't seen WL success just yet; hell we're only one win away from have the most wins we've ever had in WL.

However, all we did on the way up to win was game plan; that and I capped Stamina early on for my players on offense. Then again I was told that capping Stamina early would wreck my builds and wouldn't ever make it Natty Pro

teams that did good during that time were selling out their builds for lower level success. and they all sucked when we got to plateau.

you dont need to do this, all you need to do is having a good smal AI in place that you update every 2-3 seasons to the level you are.

Grizzlies won 5 gold, 6 silver and 2 GLB tournaments in the 8 seasons that it takes to get to WL

All I did was keeping the equipment updated but the last 2 AEQ where only added when they hit Pro. Always had 10-15 unspend VP for every dot, no gameplanning only for 2 or 3 gold games and 2 playoff games in Pro.

WL success? 33 wins in 2 seasons and if I didnīt decided to DC them myself as GLB was to boring and would have continue to let Mauler run the Defense they would have had a WL gold for sure, last season DOW roster was 2/3 former Grizzlies as well.

^ yep, pretty sure Graz was responsible for at last one or two playoff loses for the Duckies on the way up.

It isn't that you have to, it is just what people were doing on our way up and many of them crash landed on the way.

80% of the teams at the lower level and in regional pro beat themselves either with bad builds, bad AI or a combination of both. So you dont have to do much to win

They should make a fast forward. You can already fast forward the replay (make it run faster), but you have to click it each play. If they made something to where you could just set it that way all the time, it would look like those leagues were running in real time.

You can do that via pabst, but they still turn like elephants.

I watch rookie dots

This. I tried that script once and it still was terrible to watch.

Gameplan? What's that?

I'm pretty sure the Arctic Bay Yetis never lost a single game in their entire franchise's history.
