Warrior General Games

I sent a scrim to every team in the top ten (well, the six non-pussies who accept quick scrims at least) and lost to each of them. It at least proves that I'm consistent. It's Time Trial's Ladder Challenge!

Bad game scrub!

I'll have to watch the footage when I get home. I loaded my own custom D plays for three of the games, and only lost those games by a couple of points. A two point conversion for the tie and a last minute TD for the loss.

lol, yup. On the test server, Bhall ran my D.

I think I was alternating running the "pass focused" or "All-out Blitz" D-playbooks and the "All-out blitz" Tactics or the "Pass Focused" tactics up until last night.

The game I simmed against Sunday was just default playbook and tactics because I didn't know if my anti-run playbook would work as well against your team.

If Maine allowed scrims, I'd be able to design an anti-pass playbook and see if I can limit the yards allowed, but there are four teams in the top ten that are closed for scrims.

Boom. Adjustments on O and D and I'm playing tight with SF and Zorp in scrims. Don't know that I would beat them in games where they planned, but I think the last two scrims I sent SF I lost by 70+ points/2 games.

...just realized that they have another 3250 SPs coming from today's game that I have added and they haven't. That's a lot of adjustment SPs for right before playoffs.

I'm not sure "most people". I've seen a lot of people who have two different abilities firing.

There are a couple of bots where I chose a second SA instead of waiting to power the first up to level two. For example, I don't need Showboat to go to level 2, so my D dots with showboat also have a second skill.

Im sitting on my AP instead of putting it in another

To be fair, now that I got rid of the "Strike Spy" play where I was leaving your WR3 wide open, that cuts down on a lot of the huge gains I was giving up.

The FS is supposed to cover the WR3 in that formation, but instead of getting lined up on that side or even running to that side, the FS just has seizures in the middle of the field.

Grizz and Hawk continue to be absurd.

Grizzly has 4 teams in the top 50. This could be the playoff teams in Grizzly:
#3 Funday
#5 Zorp
#13 Alpine
#43 South Otto
...but if Zorp doesn't beat Funday in league play, they could very well miss the playoffs. Alpine still needs to win out to clinch. And even Funday could miss if they lose their next two games.

On the other hand, at least three of these teams from Hawk are going to miss playoffs:
#20 OMG
#24 MEM
#25 MBK
#26 OG GLB
#29 FBU Heat
#37 River City

Wolf also has a very strong top of the league, with the playoffs all set up:
#4 Seattle Seahawks
#6 Rocky Mountain Reapers
#19 TT's Wolfpack
#22 Taylor Gang

At one point this season we had three teams in the top ten and one in the top 25.

My team went on a losing skid, losing to Seattle, the Reapers (twice), and a stretch of ladder games where I went 1-2-1 that knocked me out of the top ten.

Now that I'm watching games and actually setting up my playbooks and AIs (and my o-line isn't a d-line), I'm gunning to win out my ladder and try and knock off the Reapers and Seahawks in the playoffs. I've had to make adjustments (like adding as much as 20 points to pass blocking tech, awareness, and power), so I'm not as much of a one-dimensional rushing team as I planned to be to start the season.

Yeah, Wolf's limitations for Best League is that after the top 4, it's a pretty steep dropoff. There's #61 Mr Men, and then there's nothing. Hawk's problem is the dreadful Beta division, but they have a big chunk of top teams. Grizzly has 3 teams threatening to finish top 10, and a total of 8 quality teams. Both Hawk and Grizzly have a Killer Division that Wolf is missing, as well.

True. We stack up amongst the hardest in playoff games, but getting to playoffs... not so much.

Hawk and Grizzly are a grind and a half. Of course I have to be part of 2 of the biggest divisional grinds as well.

Needs more Osprey, for half a season league
