Apologies to The Transformers for doubting them.

Apology accepted.

We've been pretty fortunate with some lucky breaks so far this season but I won't complain, a win's a win.

You guys beat the Warsaw Wizards last season 31-24 so it was a pleasant surprise to see we beat you 52-7 this season. A big turn around for our team over the offseason

You cheated by picking up guys 10 to 15 levels higher.

Actually I upgraded my roster to compete with the predominate teams in the league.

It's not unfair to sign people that you need to compete in the league you are promoted to.

And we only added a 3-4 people. It's not like we added 10-15 guys. We just upgraded at the key positions is all. You have to upgrade when you get promoted...it just makes sense

Plus...we lost to you guys last season. Were we supposed to not do anything about it and just keep losing or try to make our team better by upgrading? Don't call us cheaters because we made moves to better ourselves

Now I see no where, where we did any such thing. I really dislike the fact you would discredit all the hard work we have put into our team, by simply writing it off as cheating.

We are, where we are because the whole team has worked for it. Whether it's the players with their builds, or Coordinators with their scouting and game planning, cheating is a very poor choice of words.

Like the Transformers we got promoted up here to EEA, along with the Four Horseman. If you look at our Conference you see there are a lot of good teams here. You have to improve to compete. Other teams have added players to compete, so I see no reason how this is cheating.

Oh and btw we will be continuing to add to our roster until Bort claims that Free Agency Signings and Trades are cheating and not allowed.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

Please re read posts that you take as an attack to be sure you didnt miss the sarcasm. I dont think any of the Transformers actually think you cheated by upgrading your roster. And if they do thinks thats cheating then you should just ignore those posts because they are just trolling to get you riled up. Most teams and players understand that when you are promoted you have to upgrade your roster unless you spend the season prior to being promoted upgrading. Thats what Elancourt is doing, preparing for promotion (not saying we will be league champions, just think we will be ranked high enough to get pulled into the cpu replacements).

Just dropping in to let everyone know my rankings will be late this evening because I have to accompany my wife to one of her friends weddings and will be gone most of the day.

I know he was being sarcastic when he said we cheated I guess we went on the defense because we have worked extremely hard at recruiting and at building up our AI and the defensive play creator and it sucks to see the word "cheat"

Transformers are a class group of guys and tbh they are probably just as frustrated as anyone who is willing to stick with their original team and watch others sell out to be competitive. Its all good and evens out in the end its just annoying early on.

There seem to be quite a few slow built teams here. For those of us without slow built teams we have to get players 10+ levels above the slow built teams just to compete. We also have to prepare for promotion this season or next (not saying we would win it all, just that the cpu team replacement will have to happen). If you get promoted and from a B or BB league up to a A or AA league within a couple of seasons it is impossible to compete with your original players unless you started out way above the average level of your league.

These are not complaints or whines, they are just the reasons that I know of for Elancourt to recruit higher level players.

That's the meat of it right there. Well said.

First post rankings updated. I meant to update them yesterday but was to busy with Moms day and to devastated by our thrashing from the Knights.

Not really focused on the Angels this season, we are of course not giving up but just not really into it this season with the balance the way it is. We refused to recruit higher levels to win this league so we are just finishing out our builds and taking it easy. Both oc and dc from last season are busy irl as well so we have stand ins atm lol.
