Nothing like being super competitive in your own league, but watching your record drop as you get mauled by 50+ points by some Top 5 team you have no hopes of beating. They say you're paired up relatively close to your own strength, but really, I've only played a handful of ladder games where my opponent was within 5-10 tier rank spots of my team - mostly, I just get fed to the strongest teams in the tier, 12-15 spots above mine.

I don't even game plan for them anymore. I pretend they don't even exist, or use them to just try out stuff I might want to do in my real games. After the last time I spent hours trying to game plan against a top 5 team and then got shredded by 35 points, it's just not worth it to me any more. When they start giving me games against people actually near me on the tier, I'll start treating them like actual games.

If you're dominating in your league and getting killed in ladder that tells me you are in a weaker league, no offense. I'd use the ladder games to get experience and improve... you only get better by playing better teams (and asking guys with more experience lots of questions).

Getting killed in ladder because we are facing teams capable of handling themselves at veteran without a gold sa yet under our belt.

Just a product of less teams. I guess we can go back to facing the same team 3 to 5 times a season...that was fun.

personally i think it would be best to hide seasoned the same way you do with sophomore and rookie. At least at Journeyman guys have more than a gold SA to work with so all isn't totally lost. There is just no capable way even if you invested everything into tackling that you can contain the good pro teams with what we have at seasoned.

I really just don't understand why the formula can't work within 1 tier. Working with a couple of top tier seasoned teams I don't mind facing the best of Journeyman. Facing the best pro has to offer though is fools talk.

It really should work like this:

/Seasoned --> Journeyman/

/Seasoned --> Journeyman <-- Professional/

/Journeyman --> Professional <-- Veteran/

/Professional --> Veteran/


The ladder would still work just fine. I don't think we are ever going to be all that worried about a Journeyman teams chances of being the top team in the game. But if the best they can do is just shut down Seasoned from having so many automatic losses that would be great.

Ah, Seasoned... well seasoned has always sucked for this reason.

If you had higher conditioning you prob would have, looking at those stats.

Yeah but your team is perfectly suited to the game plan he used... would love to see the run stuffers play the LA Lakers coincidentally

My Base D isn't optimized for QB running. You really think I'd run OWMB1 against a QB rushing team?
