I hope this has been your point, because you are right, I have been missing your point otherwise.

I also think you missed the part of why I wanted to stay down for THIS season. A friend joined me, in my division. I was working on getting other friends to join me before the last draft.

I stand to learn a lot more from competing against players near my skill level, than I do against players who will blow me apart without trying. I have several games against real players, at my level, this season. This creates a much better gaming experience than losing 100-0 every week against older teams.

My stadium is not done yet, I joined before PC was set at a decent level. I spent all of last season just getting my PC up.

What "fun" am I going to have, with little to no chance of winning a game?

As it stands now, I will win every game against a bot. I have several matches against human players coming up. The playoff's are a different picture. There are two teams in the NC that also stayed behind. So while I will not face them in the regular season, I will see them if I get to the superbowl (which is a good chance I will be there).

My league games against human players all have been close, and I have learned where I need to improve my team from those games. In the supercup games where I am destroyed, I only learn that I have a crappy team.

If you have more fun, losing every game 100-0, then more power to you. I would rather play against people I know, and have a chance to win or lose the game.

Yeah, sure, if I had gotten promoted with bot flush this season, I would be looking at the first pick of the draft.... assuming I did not quit the game in frustration first.

Oh, and the comments are mostly directed at canonico, since I am "not getting his point."

I have no idea if this is directed at me, but if it is...:FP: I'm simply trying to let you know that reguardless if you go to 2.2 next season or stay in 3.3 you will be drafting in the same table! I did not once mentioned compeititiveness. But let me set this straight, I don't care where you will play next season, I was trying to help you understand that even if you went to 2.2 you would draft from the same table, the 3.3 draft table. Good, now that I repeated myself 40 times, I can STFU. If you already knew this, then I am an idiot for trying to help you understand it. Wait, I'm still an idiot. FFS

If I'm not mistaken...

If you win the 3.3 bowl you (your team) will be the last to draft. Doesn't matter if you go to 2.x or not. If you do go to 2.x your draft table will still be the one from 3.3, and you will still be the last team to pick.

You are not mistaken. The teams promoted to 2.2 this season, had to draft from my draft board.

The top players in the draft board last season were outstanding. The top players had 50 in Int, and another traits in the 40's.

Are you suggesting that the draft boards in 2.x, and 1.x get better than that?

Are you under the impression that there are better players in the 3.x drafts than in the 2.x or 1.x draft boards? I think (actualy is more an assumption) that they are randomly put there, and the league level has nothing to do with the talent level of each board, it's random, but maybe I'm completely mistaken.

Nope. I had the same thought as you, the players are random through the divisions.

Now that we got this all cleared up, we can leave that dead horse alone.

Pretty sure he is saying your opinion is correct.
