Indeed Vet points help out a lot (I have 30). Still, I think I'd take my chance with a slowbuilt player who didn't waste points on abilities that suck and didn't waste points on SAs that suck. Trust me--I'm looking at the difference between my two centers (lvl 50 and 27) and it's pathetically narrow. That someone would throw a qqfest (and exploit) over 10 levels is laughable.


you probably shouldn't have done this to your original season 6 team then:

you are trying to reestablish a flawed argument and that's the problem. strong i slam is widely considered shady and an exploit. recruiting on the other hand is encouraged by the developers and practiced by 99.9 percent of the GLB community. Kevin however chose to go another route, essentially handicapping his PF team. that wasn't my choice, it's his.

you handicap yourself, bitch that you are lower leveled, and then exploit.


hahahahahaha

let's see where both teams are at 3 seasons from now. you'll be in a BBB league somewhere with your roster of level 13s, we'll be in WE AAA with our roster of players...oh, roughly the same level as your current team, preparing for the pros.

in the mean time, your team this year is inferior to ours, your team next year will be inferior to ours, and then you'll pretty much have to retire. great job thinking that statement out, champ.

e: should also mention that you were greatly inferior to us in season 6, and probably inferior to us in season 7 as well

We didn't 'handicap' ourselves. We're a second seed, don't be so ignorant. Bringing AAA level players to an A league is widely considered shady and an exploit of a flawed system. Recruiting is obviously encouraged by it's developers, but I guarantee you bringing a team full of mid 40s into an A league isn't. Point blank if your argument about 40s being so poorly built was a valid one, then why did you retire most of your team from last season when we played in order to replace them with a roster full of 40s if it wasn't an upgrade? Feel free to explain that logically then you can call my argument flawed. You've ignored it completely and compared what you did to a generalized practice in GLB, recruiting. That would be like me coming in with an argument stating 'OMG EVERYBODY ELSE RUNS BETWEEN THE TACKLES WHY CAN'T WE?' Pretty stupid, isn't it?

And you still insist this is some grande evil scheme perpetrated by proaxis. Have you considered that the players wanted to be a part of the team and asked him to join? (I know I did...twice)

Maybe if you weren't such a tool then they'd do the same to you? I'm sure you've been turning down level 40 players left and right though since you have such a high ethical threshold.

The sad part is you can't exploit your way out of a bad argument.

but that was never my argument and i don't associate myself with it, what you have quoted is my argument. of course our level 45's are better then the guys we replaced, but what is largely being missed here though is that a lot of these guys were guys we brought in mid way though season 7 to compete in what was an arms race at the time.

but i am always looking to improve the team, my team members expect nothing less. i do this irrespective of lambda's feelings about how i or another team should run their business, and i do this irrespective of our competition. i am preparing us for AA, but tbh, i don't recruit players -- our core agents ask to bring their players aboard, and we've maintained the same KH core we had when we won the regular season back in season 6.

when i assembled KH i made it an informal requirement that agents have higher level players already. i never expected that they would bring them aboard, rather, i wanted to ensure that they knew how to build correctly. the unintended consequence of this recruitment strategy has paid off though, and i appreciate that the guys on my team want to bring their players here. we're obviously doing something right.

ROTFLMAO

Lambda's been on fire lately...

a) players in the forties were made back before any concept of slow building and back when the sim was a completely different beast. I can guarantee you that those "10 levels" don't mean much when many of those points have been absolute wastes. Just looking at the negligible difference between my two C's is laughable.


I couldn't agree more. My only question about it is this--does the sim take levels into account on player roles during the SIM?

For example, a level 35 MLB tries to tackle a level 35 HB and succeeds, whereas a level 25 MLB w/ similar or identical attributes (not special abilities) misses that same tackle? In other words do you think that player level is worked into any of Bort's equations?

That would be my only question about level differences, which is why you don't hear me bitch about it too much...
