Truth is this.. this game is not that difficult and I've really never found it necessary to transfer my knowledge of the game or AI to beginners. I do share my knowledge with teammates, but not outsiders. This game is about strategy and builds, why in the hell should we all be buddies and share builds? This game is based on football and a few plays here and there can decide the outcome regardless of superior AI or builds. I would rather put the odds in my favor and have superior builds and AI (if possible). The object of playing this game is to win the league championship. Repeat, Object is to win the league.
Dony and I decided to join Pee Wee in Season 11. We did not even watch a sim until game 3 because I was on vacation. Our original plan was to build a few Super Slow Builds players because we thought the game was too expensive. We wanted a Pee Wee team just to see what advanced AI looked like. But....Dony had a buddy at work in our Copper League that was talking trash right before the season started.... so at the last minute we started recruiting WIN NOW players. We had zero idea of what we were doing until game 3. In 3/4 of a season, we watched sims and built a decent team considering our builds. The next season we built the Crabs based on that knowledge and had 1 of the best teams in Pee Wee. We won the official tournament and did not let anyone score on us the whole tournament ( passing nerf helped with that). So.. if you want to have a good team, watch sims of the best teams, take the time to learn the game and the AI. Builds are not that difficult.. 60 cap or 68 cap? remaining points to balance the build.
I've also never understood Level 10 test teams. If I have a test team I will boost and test my AI with Level 13 dots. Why? Because Gold champions are Level 13 teams and the difference between a Level 10 dot and Level 13 is night and day. Regular season does not matter to me, and how my Level 10 dots performs is absolutely irrelevant. Yes, Yes, I know it's expensive.. but you can also build a rookie or Cap 4 team (not boost) and restrict their development and have them mirror Gold level builds in 2 seasons. That's a better idea then a Level 10 test team.
This is how you disagree with an idea properly. You say you don't like it, then list the reasons why. There was no personal attack on me, just his opinion on why he thinks this idea isn't a good one, plain and simple. I respect a post like this, as does the rest of Gold.
