the down side to building is you dont see profit until the next season, the down side to paying for any equipment is just that paying for it. however its 4 points, less than 1 level up. which makes a difference only if all 4 of those points are in one stat. Tell you what, Dicksyc, I'll send you a pm.


Or it could be as much as 3-4 levels...


can anyone afford that? for a 4 point stat swing?


Yes. And those are the teams who will win, thus getting even more money to separate themselves further. There's a fine balance between "preparing for a brighter tomorrow" and being detrimental to your team. So let my give you a scenario. Suppose you have a lvl 32 DL with 95 STR after equipment. That DL is facing off against a Lvl 32 OG with a comparable build integrity. How much would those extra 4 points in STR be worth in that matchup, considering that's an easy 12-15 SPs? It's the difference between pressure and no pressure is the difference. And that's the difference between the teams who are destined to mediocrity and the teams who never go into a game thinking they don't have a chance. So if you want to advise people to step aside and let their performance suffer at the expense of hypothetically being able to maybe catch up to people later despite the fact they made multiple millions more than you in playoff season... feel free. But I am going to have to wholeheartedly disagree with you. As I feel many teams/agents/players on the more ambitious end of the spectrum would, as well.

If your turnover on your team is so bad that you are worried your multimillion $$$ investment is going to try to run off and leave you tomorrow, then that's a problem all on its own.


Dude put the coffee down......besides i was talking to a "fellow botton feeder" whose trying to build up. just ignore us since this conversation has nothing to do with you......obviously your team is better than ours and makes more money than ours. Im sure you knew that we were already aware of that, but i understand, you had to make sure we knew our place. we know, there you happy? Since its my job to crunch our pathetic little numbers and keep the team rolling, I'll just keep plugging away at it in my own apparently gutless and ambition less style. I'd ask you what your job on your team is except i don't care and it doesnt matter. you know i liked you so much better at the end of last season when.......come to think of it where were you?

And I liked you when you actually had a valid point to contribute to any discussion, instead of all of your egocentric patronizing bullshit comments you think make you look like a hardass. Oh wait.... come to think of it... when was that? Oh yeah; it was never.

The conversation was a publicly-asked question. He got a very opinionated and misguided response from you and all of your ignorance to the reality of how a team should be run. It has nothing to do with anyone knowing anyone's place... and everything to do with someone not latching on to a moron's opinion just because he was the most adamant in his opinion. It has nothing to do with my job on my team; it has to do with you doing a bad job at yours--however many you feel qualified to take charge of. No wonder you can't make up ground on the Runners if any of your advice, suggestion, or contribution is being handled with any slight consideration. You'd rather ensure you have an extra $2M in 3 seasons than make sure your players aren't 6 levels' worth of stats behind. Enjoy that approach, Storm. You'll have plenty of seasons to continue it right here... where you'll always be; provided your owner doesn't wise up give you the pink slip. Because you think you know it all, and you're absolutely terrified to consider you just might not know as much as you think.

Hey is this love affair with yourself a summer fling or is this like a life long Hugh Grant movie type thing? never mind I know the answer already. First My "very opinionated and misguided response" was a question......a question. Your response to said question was about as appropriate as Dresden. Jeez, self important much? the part I liked the most was your use of "egocentric and patronizing".......Have you actually read what you wrote? Did you accidentally read your comments and mistake them for mine? If you had made that oversight, I would actually understand......if that were the case you could also tack on smug, superior, megalomaniacal, self-righteous, asinine and borderline sociopathic.

As for being a hard-ass, Get a life I'm typing on a computer for fun......

For the record, the only reason my team hasn't completely self-destructed is because Storm has been there to help me fix all of the rookie owner mistakes I made in season 2.

And to the point of equipment, yeah, it's nice to be able to hook everybody up. I would prefer to do that every time. I can understand players wanting to have every advantage possible. It's just a shame that a guy would bail over what amounts to 4 SP when a team isn't quite there yet. Oh well. Self-pity is for lesser men. And if you think you've seen the last of Bisgly...ah, but that's a tale for another time.

For the time being, I'll guess I'll just have to take my skeleton crew and beat your asses anyway. Is that ambitious enough for you?

Sure, I get as much a kick out of blind idealism as the next guy. See you soon.

Just a warning, I don't know if I would take stadium building advice from someone who has more seats on the visitors side than the home side...


That was my idea. The better to taunt the visiting team.

Besides, I wanted to see if skybox revenue is as big as it is in real life.
