Historically, we (the Mice) played Chocolate City very closely before the merge with the Blaze, but they almost always came out a little bit ahead.
We only played the Blaze once or twice and I simply didn't have an answer for them. It was before tagging, but still, they were solidly ahead of us talent-wise. So anyway, I agree, it's no surprise that we can't quite compete with the Blaze at this point, even though the changes in the sim seem to have favored us this year.
I do think we could play the game a lot closer if both sides gameplanned, though, as that tends to equalize things a bit...but there is no doubt that we're still playing catch-up. But that's okay, we're happy with the progress we've made, and think we could be competitive with more than half of the WL teams right now, even if we're not on par with the league's elite.Not trying to knock SO at all because they have always been a good team and rival but the Cs pulled away from you guys the last season.
