you're welcome.


So when are you Miami fans going to join the Gator fanbase? You guys should really learn that if you can't beat'em, join'em!

And Octopus, many things I do on this game come from scouting top teams although my defense is completely mine and custom.(not sure if that is something I should be proud of or not saying, oh and not the fumble forcing, the defensive plays)

i've already created about 25 defensive plays of which about half are in use at one time. i'm rotating them in and out, so you won't be able to get a read on what i'm going to do next. my goal is to have a completely custom play based defense by the end of the year. our personnel on defense allows us to do both orthodox and unorthodox stuff. the only area that i've really struggled is in getting to the qb.

my offense has been a bit sporadic, and hasn't exactly run the way i wanted at times. although it has become a lot more flexible, and hard to read. the sim and levels have really hurt gashious' productivity.

I'm not saying it's cheating or unfair, because we all have the ability to do it. I'm saying that bragging about over-leveled mercenaries is not as impressive as bragging about great gameplanning and strategy.


since when is level 42 considered a higher level player? Tons of teams have level 42-45 guys on their team. You can only get pissed at us for the 4-5 guys we have that are level 46+.

Getting to the QB has never been a problem for the R-MOBs.

let's define this for aaron 330.

a level 42 player is considered a high level player, when going against level 31 players.

They are higher than the recommended level for the league. I would call that a high level player for this league. Like I said, I don't think it is unfair or cheating. I just think it removes bragging rights.

Obviously I have no bragging rights, because I can't stop anyone on D.......

Well, nothing to me really ever removes bragging rights. We all are on a level playing field.

The reccomended player level for our league and the AVERAGE player level are two different things. I would garuntee you that the average player level is probably 4+ levels higher than the reccomended player level. Which would make level 42 players not high level, but normal. Bragging rights never go away because even if we did outlevel all our opponents TREMENDOUSLY, that just proves we can recruit that much better than everyone else and more people want to play for us than other people Which in essence, is how you win games in the first place

i don't recruit, so you've got me there. we have our team intact, which really put us at a disadvantage for this particular season. if you had your entire roster signed for the next three seasons, wouldn't you do the same?

no one here is accusing you of doing anything wrong. i'll just never forget aaron330 crying after last year;s playoff loss. don't act cool about advantages and disadvantages now.

as for bragging rights, at least we have those. no matter what happens, we've got the conference championship trophy from last season.

and you guys are forgetting that i'm pulling for you this season. fear and loathing is hoping like hell you win the conference this year. i've got a lot of money on you guys. don't get all wrapped up in the regular season, and talking smack. you need to take care of business.

i might even suggest thrwoing a game in the regular season, so you can eliminate the perfect record distraction.

The perfect record has no distraction at all. The only time I care about it is when I am in the forums trying to stir up trouble. Also, I almost never have my team sign contracts more than 1 season at a time that way if something goes wrong or I decide to leave the game, they all are released. No worries about cutting players.

this morning's game is a priome example of how a level 41 has a crazy advantage over a level 31. our offensive line is solid by all accounts, but we couldn't stop their pass rush that far outleveled us. we actually played better than the 44-24 score shows. we were in a scorig position another four times that resulted in 0 points.

it's all good, because i knew this was going to happen. it's just frustrating how this game groups teams by league instead of by level. when the teams winning bbb have an average level of 31, the 'a' league shouldn't be uncapped.

it is what it is.

well 8 sacks, plus this drive: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=506928&pbp_id=7107783 killed you.

1st and 10- sacked by Great White
2nd and 16- 6.5 yard pass
3rd and 9.5- sacked by Rex Anvil
4th and 15.5- sacked by Gaines @dams

you got to our 13.5 yard line and could not move. then we took the ball over and kicked a field goal. could have been 41-31 if it wasn't for our defense. also, these guys may be lower levels than 41, but i can guarantee their builds make up for about 5-6 levels or so.

and this play: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=506928&pbp_id=7108161 was more of a "getting open" issue rather than not being able to stop our DEs. just sayin'. our DBs locked your WRs up.

I've got bad news if you are really struggling with NWA's DL, you'll probably have problems vs. our DL. My LDE Woodley is a run stopping and passrushing beast.(as well as a fumble forcing beast) He's probably my best DE build.

our starting wr's don't need seperation to make catches. kudos to having your power players in the right position. we were just outmatched. certainly no crime on your part. bort needs to figure out the league cap situation before he loses a lot more paying customers.

as i said before, when you make it to the title game with level 30-31 players at season's end; shouldn't you enter an a league where it was capped at somewhere around 35???

i don't hate the player, i hate the game. dawson and i have spent a chunk of money on this, and if they care about customers, they'll be making some changes.
