Warrior General Games

Don't even get me started...

This team is considered "Pro" level...

Even though all but 7 players on the roster are Vets - and the team is in a Vet league!

How is it possible to draw this team as seasoned??

Great Seasoned protection there. /sarcasm

I would add - taking away GL Sweep and GL QB Rollout (which I agree with) also really hurt these sorts of mismatched games. On the Stunners way up the ladder - we played a ton of games against higher tier teams where it seemed our only chance was to spam those plays because we knew they were running some bad GL defense.

Not sure what we would do now...but for me personally - I think the challenge would be fun. They probably aren't going to game plan much for you -- so you have quite an opportunity for an upset if you can craft an O and D to exploit any little weakness you can find.

did the top seasoned teams ever had to play the top Jman team last season? (Really dont know).
The problem is that this season there is even LESS Jman leagues...it went from 3 to 2. That is big! Now there are only 24 Jman teams and only 21 full human teams.

If you can play 20 spots up, then this is a searious problem...If I would have to play bad or mediocre Jman teams I wouldnt even cry as much as I do now. And I dont demand changes for now but PLS IN THE FUTURE. The system is broke with the current state of the game (nearly dead).

again...for ppl like you:
We are NOT playing a bad coached/bad builded/inactive team that is a level ahead...we play the TOP (#1) team!!!! You really think they would have bad tactics for GL? Why compare anything you ever faced with the current problems when you have no idea what im talking about?

No, it's not fun. Facing an actively coached team 1-2 tiers higher is very difficult as a seasoned team. You can see the massive SP difference on the field. It's ugly, discouraging and definitely not fun.

You don't even need to get to the top to see some ugly results.

The Kiwis and Logzilla spent all the time at Journeyman #1 last season and I don't think they played any seasoned teams. I believe they were in range of the top seasoned teams at some points, but it just never happened.

Might I add it has to be disappointing for the higher tier team drawing a seasoned team on the ladder, the only team that can gain much from winning is the seasoned squad.. the journeyman or higher teams are just throwing their ladder day away.

True...but an easy stat whore win is still a bit more enjoyable than the other way around^^

AND...I really think this is one of the reasons why some teams may have quit after seasoned. You simply dont have much fun. And is a game not supposed to be fun the majority of the time?

Maybe rookie wins should be weighted less than soph wins, seasoned wins, etc. The "problem" really shows up the worst for the best teams from rookie/soph as they have won so many games and shoot up higher on the ladder than they probably should be IMO. Just seems like any win has a static weight when wins against a rookie team should not make as much of an impact as wins against a soph, seasoned, journeyman, pro or vet team. The higher the opponent's tier the more of a ladder impact it should have if you win IMO.

This is probably the best case scenario. Rookie's and sophomore's climb the ladder ranks too fast while only playing each other. Just make it so they don't climb as fast while under "protection", and then earn their way up once they hit seasoned.

And they never played each other. #1 and #2 were in range for a Ladder matchup all/most of last season and never played.

There's got to be some way to at least get matchups like that to happen. Maybe Tournaments are the answer.

I don't have an answer but (I'm pretty sure Rob. agrees but don't want to speak for him) it sucked not getting matched up. Fun is fun. At least those games are fun.

Yes I agree. We didn't play in season 8 either. Kinda sad.

That is sad as well...I mean C'mon. At least on the last day it should look if #1 and #2 played each other and if not...make it happen!

Take your beatings like a man and move on

You are really so stupid...because of idiots like you this game dies.
