I thought about saying something before but decided against it. But seriously, what's the point? I can look at your roster and tell you who will be starting anyway, why waste your time?

because some people have some free time and want to make us waste more of our little free time =P lol not sure if that made any sense at all =P

Cherry Pies promise not to do it.

Only thing I have done is matched up CBs vs Wrs right before the game.

Yep, same here, we have been pretty open about our lineup, we may switch CB's and WR's around a little but thats about it.

We are a sneaky ninja monkey type team.

We all know how easy you can find out, it is just more fun to make you work a little harder

It really is just a little harder, one extra button

Yeah, not really harder.. it takes 2-3 seconds depending on how fast i can move the mouse to the roster page and how long it takes my cpu to load. Seems like it takes more time to take players off / put them on(i know it doesn't take that long, but in comparison) then it is really worth.

Plus, it's for pussies. If you're going to win, do it the right way, don't be a little bitch about it.

No. Just people that don't know any different. Or think they are just smarter than the average bear. Hey booboo!

Can you cry more? If its just one more button relax.

I've seen a lot of teams do this, and have no issues with the strategy. Yes you can see the roster easily but whatever you think about the starting/backup roles is pure speculation when it is hidden. What if people have specialty builds you don't plan for? Teams can switch depending on if they want to pass or run as they require different personnel.

As much as people get ragged on for doing it, it is something to at least consider.

Actually I have a very good reason for doing this.

On our team our staring DEs are levels 18 & 11. When the level 18 plays LDE our defense is much better at defending the run. When he's at RDE we're better at defending the pass. Hiding which side we're going to play him on prevents the depth chart from giving away our defensive strategy.

You cant tell from my roster which side they're going to play on, so that's something. It's not a huge ridiculous advantage, but if you saw my level 18 LDE against your level 9 RT, you'd probably run less.

-4th


(edit) Oh, I almost forgot. "In your face!" hah =P

It all boils down to Wins/Losses who cares how it's accomplished. Stop crying Maulers....you guys have much more to worry about than no depth charts being posted. Hopefully you are addressing that Lvl 11 QB that is starting for you (:

I'm not whining, i'm just saying that some people in this league have vaginas, and some people don't.

For the record, that lvl 11 QB was 3rd in the league in passing TD's, 5th in completion percentage, and 1st in yards/attempt. Not to mention he had a higher QB rating then your guy, who is 3 levels higher.

Whoops!
