Time for the Crocs to rebuild. We beat the teams we should but cnt get over the hump against the better teams. Alot of it may have to do with all the season 1 and 2 players we have. We also need a new OC. Hopefully we fill our team with some quality players and a new, motivated OC, and compete better next season.

You guys had a few glaring holes in your defense that really hurt yah.. Weak side runs against your team yielded great results.. We averaged a 16 yard average on Weak Side Hand-off and a 14 yard average on HB Sweep Weak.. also you guys have trouble stopping HB/TE passes over the middle. HB Fly for example destroys your defensive scheme.. 20+ yard average on that play

Not to call you out here, just saying if your going to rebuild make sure you fix those wholes bro, you'll be a much better team for it.

Best of luck.. I'm sure we'll see you again in the future.

Why did you trade away a bunch of players right before the Eden Sin game? We were on a 3 game winning streak and our only two losses were close ones. No warning at all either, just an alert that your player has been traded.

If you want to discuss this outside a public forum, I will be more than happy to. The Eden game showed me we couldn't compete in the playoffs so we decided to rebuild. An alert was placed on the team's page saying if you didn't resign, you would likely be traded. I traded you to a playoff contender where you are a starter. Any further conversation, please take it to PM.

My point was you traded a bunch of us before the Eden game so of course you couldn't compete with them in that state. It seems like you actually quit before the Eden game which didn't make sense to me. All this gutting of teams midseason also kind of ruins the game in my opinion but hey it's your team so your choice.
As far as talking about it in a public forum why would you make a post about this if you don't want it to be public? I mean I am sure people could figure out that you were rebuilding when you started losing games 223-0. Anyways I have said my peace so don't worry about the PM thing.

I actually started selling players after we lost to Eden. That game showed me we could not make a deep playoff run.

As for mid season rebuilds, it is simply so you can get your chemistry back to a competitive level for the next season.

My player and four others were traded before the Eden game, you can check their game logs. That's what I didn't understand, why trade away a lot of good players when you are 6-2? All you have to do to avoid chemistry issues is resign any people that are signed through more than the end of the season to 1 season ending on day 40. If a contract ends there is no chemistry loss and you can start new players on day 43.

Why would I want to look at the game logs? Do I really care when you were traded?
Its a lot more fun listening to you cry.
Its Mike's team, and he can do whatever he wants. You're a GM of a bunch of teams. I'm sure you would appreciate it a lot more if one of your players sent you a PM with their issues instead of posting on the team forum.
If your whole point was to make coastiemike and the Crocodiles look bad, you have failed. You're the one that sounds like a whiny dumbass.

Actually, I gave everyone on the team warnings. I posted an alert that flashes beside every player's name that states if they didn't resign, they would be traded, so how exactly is that a dick move? he had 4 days to make a decision about whether to resign.

Yeah, I did trade this guy before the Eden game as he expressed he would not be returning. My mistake.

The fact that I bought him almost a million dollars in EQ on Dec 4, made sure I traded him to a winner for his player's last season, and everyone had an alert on Dec. 24 makes me sad he would make a fuss about this on a public forum.

Giving up with a 6-2 record...maybe. I lost my OC and DC and we hadn't competed very well against the bottom half of the league showed me we didn't have a chance the second half of the season. So, how is that a bitch move? I guess I should have waited until the end of the season when we were 8-8 and out of the playoffs, lose most of the team to retirement and have to sign new players, putting our chemistry in the 60s to start off next season

Instead we acquired $40+ million on season 1 & 2 players who are retiring and allows us to have better chemistry, thus making us more competitive next season. We also have a new OC and DC brought in this week to settle in before next season starts.

Before anyone speaks about what was done or wasn't done by me or my staff, perhaps you should get the entire story instead of taking the one guy who is bitching at face value.

For the record, I did send out a PM. I just wanted to check my outbox before I posted anything on here before getting called out again. The PM was titled "Your Players" and it read:

Since you are retiring them at season's end and this team won't be going far into the playoffs, would you mind if I trade them? If you want to stay until the end of the season, no problem. Otherwise, we would like to build up our coffers for next season. Let me know please.

I sent this same PM to the following agents who you can confirm with them if you really want to:
kp2575, rubbrducke007, mattynokes, and the original poster among others.
