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!
And Serenity and the mods think that their name as a GM doesn't make a huge difference in recruiting??? lol
Funny how things turned around when Serenity got traded to the team....
