that is....IF WE GO 16-0


the reason we will win is the players. That was done before the season started. So yah...I'll stand by my comments. As with every other league--capped and uncapped, off-season recruiting was taking place--and that's how teams win--by getting good players.

i would still prefer a group of close knit agents who will for sure stick around and hold a team together with everyone's good builds staying on one team the entire careers

That does sound nice, but honestly...I've seen good teams fizzle out and never get over the hump because the owner was afraid to treat it like a business.

how nice would that be, it will never happen, but it would be nice

Well, wait and see the Odyssey after 7-8 seasons! I hope to keep the team together until the end (most of them at least).

a better owner would have considered what the rest of the league was doing (95% of the league wasn't recruiting anyone over level 28) hence certain teams that recruited level 40+ players look like ass now because they did. so they can sugar coat it however they want the issue really is just because you can steal something without anyone noticing doesn't mean you should. It's all about sportsmanship is where my beef lies but seriously we should just end this bickering and get on with the season.


95% of the league wasnt recruiting players overs 28? by my count there are 18-20 teams with players over level 28. meaning, more than half the league went out and got at least some high level talent. this would put you in the minority. our goal (like everyone elses i assume) is to climb our way to EE Pro. if it means going out and getting high level guys, then thats what we'll do. the teams that went all out to upgrade are going to be in a much better position to compete at the AA level next season. and moving up and competing is what we all (should) want to do.

and for the record, i didnt lose a single agent from my original team. and i can almost guarantee i never will. if my agents come to me with upgrades, it would be just plain dumb not to do it.

and for one more record, it seems pretty freaking clear that Jedi was kidding when he said 16-0.

anyway, glad season 9 has finally started. good luck to everyone

are you counting boosts? because yeah people boosted after getting recruited.

I just wanted to add this...

That was a game played by equal level talent. Not a terrible game but one I know the Predators would have loved to win.

After going out and recruiting and improving their team all around here is this years score.

I would say they are going about things the right way. I have no problem with either result. Sometimes it comes down to game planning and sometimes there is a talent differential. Either way it happens in every league in this game that isn't capped. We are a very unique league that was uncapped but only filled by 2nd year teams coming from capped leagues. We all would like to be one step closer to Pro next season and we all have had equal footing to go about making that progression in our own way. Some chose instant gratification and others did not. Most of us selected the middle of the road option and I think it will lead to some great rivalries and a lot of very competitive games this season. I look very forward to it.

Regardless of levels and all that, I know that as an agent when I find a good team with great owners and management, I want to stick with them. Despite being one of the lowest level players on Prague Predators, the team welcomed me back this year after last year's great run. They knew we were going uncapped but the concept of team was greater than that of levels. In fact most of our roster is from last year's capped team and the players that did not come back were replaced, and some of these new guys are higher levels. I am very happy with this team and their approach, but at the same time if they had decided to retool to try and repeat at this level, I wouldn't hold it against them.

In any case, I am glad that our new league is just as active as last year, it makes for some great entertainment in between games.
