Paul you are incredible! psyched to see what you will bring out of Legend Lg history.

I have tons of info at my disposal. I'll post some things as I find them that are interesting; any particular questions or things you all want to know?

Nothing in particular, really anything you post is awesome to read. Got my LB Bill Romanowski over to Leeds this season along with my other 3 players. What qualifies for the Butkus award? Forced fumbles? Do you have senior league only historical stat leaders? Maybe GLB provides them, I don't know. For example, most SL tackles all-time, etc.

My award ratings are not really set in stone, more based on "impact" as I define it. For LBs, I do look at a lot of coverage stats since they drop into coverage most of the time on CPU teams.

I don't have individual stats or even team yardage stats I'm afraid; I'm sure that info exists somewhere but I don't have any easy access to it. I can guarantee that the SL tackle leader is a CPU player for two reasons: 1st, almost all the CPU players in the Senior League were created in season 1 and have been in the SL since season 7; 2d, the tackle leader is usually a CPU player year in and year out for whatever reason. The all time sack leader is probably a human, and if I had to guess it would be Mega Watt.

Ok here's some random stuff:

PPG by season:
7: 15.14
8: 16.55
9: 16.60
10: 15.79
11: 17.34
12: 16.68
13: 20.23
14: 19.56
15: 18.45
16: 22.70
17: 22.33
18: 23.06
19: 24.88
20: 23.36
21: 21.96

It's interesting that the offenses have been declining since S19; last year was the worst since S15 offensively. I imagine the chem changes this year are going to lead to higher scoring games early on. I can't figure out what made the jump from S12 to S13; there's nothing in the changelog to suggest why that happened.

Out of Division Records:
Alpha: 49.8% winning percentage out of Division, 6 season titles (Best OOD record for the season)
Beta: 432.9% winning percentage OOD, 1 title*
Gamma: 55.4% winning percentage OOD, 8 titles*

*In season 16, both Beta and Gamma won 17 games against non-divisional opponents. Beta owned the head to head series against Gamma and won the title

Home vs. Away

Home teams are 630-620-10. Not a very big gap to be honest. For home teams, average points for are 19.9, average points against are 19.7

Best team at home is Phoenix who are 74-30-1. Best team away is Eugene, who are 75-30 in their opponent's stadium.
The worst home team is Jacksonville, who are 39-66 at home. New York have the same record away, making them the worst in that area.

The teams who are better away than at home: Leeds, Eugene, Saskatoon, and Jacksonville

Saskatoon is the only team to do better offensively away than at home.

Good stuff Paul

Damn cpu WRs..

Another interesting change: the Senior League teams have ladder ranks (though they don't show up in the actual rankings page).

So the GLB official Power Rankings after week one are:

1. Eugene (8)
2. Leeds (22)
3. Washington (26)
4. Louisville (30)
5. Saskatoon (33)
6. Hartford (39)
7. New York (39)
8. Phoenix (42)
9. Cincinnati (42)
10. Houston (42)
11. Nashville (46)
12. Jacksonville (55)

Dynasty rankings are in parentheses. I don't know what this dates back to, but can't be season 7 because of how low Phoenix is despite historic domination. I'll probably switch to regular ladder ranks as they start to differentiate as most of the teams have the same rank right now.

Hey Houston Slugs need some Defense Guys to join the team!! I had a OG playing CB last game. We have 9 WRs and no Defensive players... If you have any Legend Defensive Players please consider Houston!

I signed a DT I had sitting. He pass rusher so wont fit well but takes some reps for now at least

But I know the feeling.

to be fair the CPU GM is too dumb to cut the 5 CPU WRs they dont need and sign CPU defensive players

That's great. I was wondering if on defense they just played all 11 of the defensive guys on every play but it looks like they filter in random offensive players in the DT and SS spots.

4-1-6 zone

yeah but what they really need is a punter.

There really needs to be a simple roster balancing algorithm for CPU teams, cause that is insane.
