right, madacat?!!?!?

Brings back memories. I think this squad I have now might be slightly better than the Coconuts. Though it seems teams I coach like to lose in the conference championship. Gotta fix that here sooner or later.

Please Bort do not limit this to just EEA..

Please take some time and think this through rather than push through a bandaid.

Shuffle

Ok have you seen the reshuffle tab at all? It gives you options of where you want your team placed. So if our owner wanted to cut all of our players and go to a 13 capped BBB league she could. Conversely, there's no real spot for us other than uncapped (which we are currently in). The concern is that we will be stuck in an uncapped league with teams full of lvl 50's. I'm not good enough at math to help her figure out if we would qualify for a level 36 cap using Bort's formula. We recruited based on what we were told. If, in fact, we will be placed in a league with 31 other uncapped teams with a 29 level median it wouldn't be a problem. But I have a feeling that we will not be.



No I haven't see the reshuffle tab - I don't think it was an option for EE. I assumed you only shuffled within A - I didn't think it gave you the option of moving from A to something else.
"The concern is that we will be stuck in an uncapped league with teams full of lvl 50's." - That's what happened to us.
" If, in fact, we will be placed in a league with 31 other uncapped teams with a 29 level median it wouldn't be a problem" - that's what I thought Bort was considering but the reshuffle tab makes it sound like I'm mistaken.

I guess we just need a bit more clarification from Bort on this. Maybe he should take an extra 4 or 5 days in off-season to do it right as opposed to making a last minute change or doing something that only half solves the problem.

The shuffle is horizontal, not vertical. If you are in an A league now, no matter what happens you will be in an A league for season 9. IF Bort does shuffle, and you have a team that could qualify for a level 13 cap league, then you'll be with other EE A bottom-feeders (level-wise, not coaching-wise), not necessarily all level 13 qualifiers (could be a team of level 20 and 21's). And, you can still recruit uncapped players because there won't be caps handed out retroactively. The idea is to put the teams with mostly 45's and 50's in the same league, then teams with 30' and 40's, then teams with 20's etc., to have a more even playing field.

No matter if they shuffle you or not, two things are certain: 1) you will remain in EE A, 2) you will remain in an uncapped league.

This what the shuffle selection tab looks like for my casual BBB team. I assume its the same for all leagues.

Shuffle Override Setting
Use this option to set your target level for lower tier shuffling if you plan on signing higher level players who would be too high for the likely level cap you'd be put under.

Keep in mind:
- Your chosen level will be overridden if you choose a level that is below your team's actual level range.
- If you do not anticipate signing higher level players, you should not use this option. You will be placed with similarly leveled teams automatically.
- Please do not choose a higher target level if you do not actually plan to sign higher level players. You won't gain any sort of advantage by doing so.
- Casual teams will not have an uncapped region at this time, so selecting "uncapped" will simply put you at the highest level available.
Select Target Level:

Automatic selection (recommended)
Maximum Level (uncapped)
38
34
28
24
21
16
13

Bort as Gm of "Chute Box" I can say this league does not need reshuffling. Chute was a brand new team as of season 7. Is already poised for a title run in 1 season in A. We took our lumps last yr and look like we can win the league. 0 reason to Shuffle EEA. The committed teams are going to thrive, and the balance is here. This is a promoted league I do not think you need to reshuffle. Thats my vote.

That's the way I see it - hope you're right

Shuffle away. Equal competition is a hell of a lot more fun to play against.

Okay, so this reshuffle and cap thing is JUST the bottom tier of each region? So say in EE, an A tier team has no worries?

Yep




This. For those of you saying no one was lied to. I call bullshit.

And I did plan Mr "if you had planned differently" fuck you. I planned ahead. I looked at the leagues ahead to see the cpu's, I recruited BEFORE the announcement was put out.

And I highly doubt there are many teams out there in A with a like median level as ours "around 29" and I still have one more FA to sign.

If there are teams like that, I'm sure they aren't going to like us having level 40s on the team in their league. I did what was suggested by having a smattering of higher levels because that's all a third season team can really afford to have on it (3rd season will be season 9 btw). So the teams we will be put against will cry and then what?

I will swap places with you in AA - http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6443
I have 6 players over level 34

I could care less where we end up geography wise. The point, in cased you missed it, is that we signed players based on the rules as well as what we were told. Do I have a guarantee that we won't end up having the lowest median level after the shuffle?
