Let's be real here man, they have 5 WR's and 3 TE's over level 21. Their pass game is the best in East. That said, I honestly believe The Farva's have a real legitimate shot at beating them, but the passing game combined with them having conference winning experience give them the slight edge. This could easily be changed after seeing a couple games.


I'm in no way saying we have a better passing game than them. But I do think you should consider the scouting bars a little more. Their highest level wide receiver has 39 receiving and 42 carrying, indicating that his build isn't all that great for a level 25. The Farvas are definitely not as deep, but our #1 receiver appears to be considerably better than theirs at a lower level. Similarly, their level 24 TE only has a 33-bar in receiving. Their 2 other TE's don't get higher than 27, and appear to be blockers. We have 2 TE's at 33 and 36.

They do have a very deep group of receivers. I won't question that. But "insanely deep", I can't agree with.


Crappy build? doubt it
looks at his stats over his career. if i didnt know how to build him he wouldnt be putting up numbers like that. His carrying is soo high because i want him to break tackles so his strength is almost 30 and his carrying is 22? maybe idk. and i dont want to hear about being in the BBB. it was a very competitive league.
Do i agree with the ranking...No. i would rather be a sleeper team

I'd erase that. No reason to give out your builds because somebody needled you about it.

I never said or implied that your build was crappy. I can't even see it.

Very strategic team with a ton of depth, put up a fight against even the best.




Wow. Thanks for the complement. GL to everyone

With the recently gutted teams in the East in AA2 (only 4 playoff teams return this season) and some in the West, the AA is just waiting for one of you guys to make a move and represent A4 up here. Bring it and lets continue the trend of A4 dominating upon graduation.

I'm sorry but WR's at level 25, 24, 23, and 21 is nothing special. Maybe in BBB it is but honestly It isn't special.

Thanks, I'm not sure if I'd rate us number 3 in the West, there are many of the teams that are right there in that tier below the Pewnts.

Like the Playoffs for season 3, you could plug any one of several teams in anywhere from 2-7 or 3-9 and you could make a strong argument that you were right. Adding in this new Advanced AI for offense and defense is a new wrinkle too. Some of the teams will use it much better than others and that should further muddy the waters.

Right now, I'd say we were probably a serious playoff contender and I'd leave it at that.

I'd say you are in the upper half of that second tier, you, the Bolts, and the Bengals, and whether Farkistan or the LUEishis make it there will depend on their improvements...the Lueishis got a lot better this offseason imo.

In my opinion, the two top-dogs in the East will be the Farvas and the NY Grizzlies. Both teams look to have the best teams going into the season, and they always played close last year. For all the shit-talking I've done (in jest), I definitely think this game could go either way.



Where is the love? We beat the Farvas and the Grizzlies last year. We sure didn't get any worse over the offseason. Did these two teams get that much better?

And the Crabs. Trust me, we're very worried about you guys . I don't know how I could forget! It's a 3-dog race, IMO!

And no, we didn't get any better.

I see you renewed Mean Joe's contract. I guess he's not coming home after all.

A few good players can't get a team in A4 west into the playoffs, but it can keep them out of relegation danger.


I think you all will be surprised this season. We got us some beef finally!
