I would say having GLB royalty helps with recruiting, not every team can have them.

For the record, I'm going to let this go and not lock it because it's relevent to today's hot topic. That's not a license to post a bunch of "My team is great" threads.

We haven't won anything,I'm just saying it's possible to turn your team around and in a reasonable amount of time if you have a some patience and don't expect immediate results.

You've done a great job with the Juggernauts, smizzy. You have a lot to be proud of. Hopefully we can top off this season with a strong playoff run

I'm the only person on my team who has the ability to sign/trade or cut players. Most of my "royalty" came on during the middle of this season. This team was set up and ready to go before the got here . We have been rebuilding our chemistry from the rebuild this off season. I did get a couple guys via trade this season. Like I said the majority of my roster has been around since I got the team....with some exceptions of course.
I've never been shy to Pm someone I thought might know something I didn't and ask for their help. I have built some good bonds here over time. I think that is the purpose of these boards.

I agree having mods and their PMs appearing in blue when they try to recruit players is a big help.
I thought you did a good job but now I see it was just help from mods in recruiting players for you
Oh well maybe there is a genuine worst to first story on GLB because this isn't it.

Congrats smizzy! Got a gutted team this season in the same conference this season.
It's been a pain!

I know posting a thread in this forum is like painting a giant bulls eye on your chest but there are many teams out there who do not see any light at the end of the tunnel and I wanted to shed some hope on those guys.
I bought my team week 3 of season 2 from an owner who gutted the team before I got control of it. This was before there were Chemistry resets or chemistry grace periods.
It took me at least 8-12 games to get enough starters to stop killing our stamina. We were in really bad shape.
and finished 2-14 that season. We finished in a 4 way tie for last place and did not get demoted.
Season 3 was a little better, we finished 4-12. We finished 13th overall,2 games back from being demoted.
In the off season I rebuilt our offense and brought on a tremendous staff.we are 12-2 and have won 11 in a row. We will make our first playoff appearance this season.
It wasn't an easy road to get here,but it was well worth it. It's a tremendous feeling to promise my team a playoff berth and deliver it to them after the last 2 seasons. It is possible to fall into a pile of shit and turn in to a playoff team.
The players on my team were very grateful to have an owner come in and take control of the team and treat them right. After the 5 or 6th game of season 2 95% of my guys signed long term deals with us. I just wanted to say thanks to those players for sticking around and being here when we make our first playoff game. It's players like you guys who make this game fun to be a part of!
I do not know how we will do in the playoffs , I just know we will be there and considering where we came from,that is an achievement in itself.
I also couldn't do any of this without my staff...
OC: Laggo
Ast.OC : Steel City Mafia
DC: MrMike
GM's : MadetOrder, Serenity, Voltron , Xian9418 ,LionsFanNCali ,TuNice & FatMurphy
You guys are awesome.Thanks for everything!
Another success story! But that 11 game win streak doesn't count our scrim! It was the battle of gutted teams that were rebuilt during season 2!

Well it helps not to have 14 years olds try to lie to recruits to get them to sign elsewhere. Too bad your plan failed and he signed with me, douchebag.

LOL...I do the recruiting and there isn't a mod on my staff who recruited for me.
and like I said...I haven't signed a single free agent this season. I didn't get any help from my mod staff members. Serenity plays on our team, I Play on Made's team and Voltron just signed on with us 3 days ago.
If you can find a single player they signed or "lured" in by a Mod...I'll pay you cash money.

MODS please move this to the relevant area thankyou.
Or maybe because mods are GMs on the team in question it can be posted here?

Smizzy ignore this kid. He's a douche. He PMed me up and cussed me out so I blocked him then he attempted to tell a recruit I screwed him over but the recruit saw that this kid is mentally challenge and saw right through the story and signed here.
