I'm trying to bring guys to the Steel-Heads and it's like puling teeth. I have no clue what these people want.

This is the part I hate about offseason.


I hate recruiting

I've managed to line up a lvl 24 guard, a lvl 21 rcvr, a lvl 20 DE, and another guard for next season - but they are all players I know - the 24 guard is my own, the rcvd is our OC's buddy, the DE is our current starting DE's player (she's going to back herself up), and the other guard is a buddy of our starting DE.

I've almost given up on the Players looking for teams forums.


I hear you. This blows. I guess we needed to win the championship for them to join our team?!?



I have no idea what they are looking for. I did some recruiting for my QB's team 2 years ago when it got started and had some luck, but not much. When I do try to recruit someone I end up in the final batch but can never seal the deal...


Thats the same thing that happened to me the couple times I tried to recruit somebody. I ended up getting 2 people, 1 was our lower level OT that committed to us for a while and had a really good attitude, and the other was a Bears fan so it was pretty easy. Luckily we don't have to recruit too much.

Unfortunately that means we don't normally bring in higher level players in the offseason like some of you guys, so we just have to keep building up the ones we have and hope player build and game planning can eventually get us over the hump.


We've actually had some great success about bringing in some of guy's lower level players or buddies' players and developing them.


Dude, I have a DE level 11 friend, a LB level 9, and a CB also 11. I would love it if we could all play on the same team, think its possible?

P.S. Names are Mark "Sackman" Anderson, Brian "Big Hit" Urlacher, and Nathan "Lockdown" Vasher. Bears fans lol

Oh yeah CoachZ, what did your GM say about me joining CBMB?

And if you guys need a writer for your recaps or highlight reels, I would be more than happy to do it.

Now you can see why i created so many players on my team.

I wanted to try something new this season and bring in some human bodies. I have a few since the start of GLB when I bought the team. I just wanted to add more. I can go as we are in any rate.

Same here. We made the majority of our team from scratch in season 2 to make sure the core guys would always be together, then brought in our own season 1 guys once they became available again. We did add some higher level FAs along the way but they were offered to us by guys we're familiar with and trust. That way we don't risk having a collapse some day from guys starting their own teams and taking all of my best players with them, or just getting bored and quitting.....personally I'm not touching the FA pool unless I'm desperate.

I'm slowly bringing over my own players...one per season...to fill holes when they appear. I really wish I didn't have to, but if I recruit one good player/agent each season that is doing very well, and that usually doesn't quite keep up with attrition. I'm hoping I'll get a ton of PMs from current players that want to bring their other players over in the next few days.
