i knew we weren't able to compete with Melbourne. their highest rated player is a level 20, ours is a level 22. that is not much of a difference. but almost all of their starters are high teens while we still have some in single digits. especially our d-line.

it seems we have become the evil team in this conference, but i guess a bright side in this is that it has given everyone something to talk about. which makes this game more entertaining.

I agree my team the Reno Knights was gutted so bad when I bought it mid season 2 it only had level 1 and 2 CPU and 3 humans total on the team highest level being 6 for the human. SO yea it was like starting from scratch didn't even have anything worth trading tbh. SO my team was reglated down to usa AA#4 and looks like we still have a bit of a project to work on but at least we are scoring points now unlike all of season 2 we only scored a total of 3 points, we surpassed that in our first game this season. We will continue to fight and rebuild regardless.

I do think one thing about this I am not sure what to believe because if a player on a gutted team or owner has left asks the new owner to trade them and he has alot of players asking to be traded or released what do you do I mean if he says no you won't have a good team enviroment and if you do it is also gutting if you get inatives or way lower players in return. So what do you think should be done in that case?


I really don't know what to do in those instances, you laid it all out pretty well. It sucks for everyone involved pretty much, but you can't blame anyone.

The ultimate thing though, is that those higher level players should be playing in higher leagues, but it is almost impossible to regulate something like that and I will be the First to admit that Melbourne had players who are higher level then most people in this league.

I guess we all just have to hope some of these issues work themselves out as the game matures.

This game is so amazingly awesome though, I can't stay annoyed at anything for very long.


This was my first post before things kind of got out of hand and I still feel that way.

I don't think anyone is "wrong" or anything, it just is what it is.

I have no problem with the guys from the Bandits. Boomer's is the only post I really think is weird, just because I feel pissed I missed the ass kissing line, why didn't anyone call me?

I'll tell you, in the end while I'm annoyed that high-level guys are being signed to a A league in mid-season, I'm not 100% militant against it. I know if my friend had a team in USA BBB I'd like my level 15 LB over there so that I could help him out. Not saying I definitely would, but I could see the motivation to do so. that being said, this is exactly why when I was #70-something on the waitlist before these Canadian teams are to be released I took myself off of the list. It seems like there is way too much to deal with to justify me paying for a team and running it. I'll just play the game. ;-)

I just want to reiterate I really don't have a problem with you getting those players..the topic headline doesn't mean what I meant to say - I apologize. My issue is with the GM from the USA Pro team that gutted it, plain and simple. You improved your team, and I expect you to do that all season long - it makes this region and the games much more exciting. I'm just not a believer in those who gut.

We may be a little further down in the rankings than we would like to be, but still talkin smack and bringin the pain is part of the game.

#7 on your charts but #1 in your hearts. Ride on Horsemen.

I am a Horseman fan now. Little bit Raiders, little bit Jane Austen, what's not to like?

Well next game should be interesting. A team where they go off and sign big players for big bucks, against a team thats built on loyalty, long term players and promised playing time for low levels.

Or in other words.. the Bandits good team against my Shitty Rockies team
