through the bad english i think i understand what you were trying to say. let's just get it out there (cuz at least we have some conversation going sheesh):
i have 22 (not 21) of my own players on my team. 9 of these have never played in a game (not even in D-League) as they are experimental slow-builds that are being financed by the team until lvl 7 and then will be cut loose.
of the other 13, i have 2 starters (HB and Kicker). I'd always planned to use my own HB, the Kicker is unfortunate because i couldn't find any Kicker out there worth a shit so I just decided to use my own.
the 11 backups play special teams and, as they are backups, backup the starters whom i recruited.
there are (by my count) 29 agents involved with the team. I likely spent more time recruiting than anyone else in this league. my method, however, was to go out and find a player who had the type of build i was looking for and was the type of agent i was looking for and recruit only that person. that's it. 1 contract offer per position. i had (if i remember right) a total of 6 rejections (and then i find someone else to recruit if rejected). Everyone else bought what I was selling and now i have a team i'm proud of.
i didn't frantically send out offers to any free agent the marketplace or forums showed like most of the whining lemmings i've heard who couldn't field 1 good build on their team. i told the folks i was recruiting what my plans for their player was, some general ideas about my plans for the team, and let them know how i was going about doing things (namely, that they were the only person i was recruiting at their position).
perhaps the status quo method of sending out a contract offer to any retard who rolled up a character at a position you need isn't the best way to go about doing things and is the reason there are so many shit teams out there. there are several people i talked to that claimed to have hundreds of contracts out at any given time and prayed that someone, anyone, would accept so they could get rid of their CPU players. the more 'choosey' folks i talked to still recruited at least a half dozen players at every position.
it's too easy to try and point to one thing and jump up and down and cry and groan. that's the easy part: to just whine and throw a hissy over the guy kicking the shit out of you. the harder part is to figure out how they did it and then compete with them.
i try very hard to stir some shit up and paint a nice big target on my back for folks to take some shots at in good fun and in good humor. BUT wow man, you come with THAT stuff? the soft shit of 'omfg *cry* you are beating me because *cry* and it should be different because *cry*...'
you're just inviting someone to shit-can you. next time leave the self-ownage at home and bring some heat.
i responded to your post and defended the way of my team not because i felt like i owed you or anyone an explanation about how the Spartans do things, rather, because if you wipe away your tears you might realize something...

he's the renaissance man of the team, does everything the way it needs to be done and our nice record says he's doing a good job
