That only shows you the formation that is used, a minor part of the strategy. Even at that how do you know what my scouting of the team information gave me. A simple example is I would use a different formation if I believe my opponent is SG4 run heavy vs pass heavy.

Formations mean nothing if strategies to properly use them haven't already been employed. Your sarcasm does nothing but confirm that you have no idea what I am talking about.

You may remember Metheisman, that we once had a conversation about how the advice given to new people that they should take any money they make and build their stadium until it is complete in their first season is not the optimum strategy. You didn't believe me so I explained to you what I did and gave you the math. Your response was that I better not make that public because it is an exploit. It's not an exploit but it is a good example of how people would rather have the game changed than see others do something that they themselves did not think of.

Let me guess, I didn't "uncover a big secret" you can just go look at what I did my first season.

Muff's "big secret" to early success was to play in Thunder..

My early strategy rocked! Absolutely worked and was pretty much opposite what most suggested and what is normal.

My early strategy was to remember my password. My next step was to get in the same league Rock is in because then there is no way I could look that drunk, I mean bad. Third phase was to slot 72 hours of real life to watch paint dry. This was just training up to the 2 week non-stop ordeal of having over 600 plays in my play book. Why? Because then I could say my playbook has over 500 lines of uselessness. Who else can say that?

Phase 4 was to use an alternate ego to write a book... Look man none of you can say you had the plans I pulled out of the Ethos. Now I'm going to go eat a muffin!

Well if this doesn't earn you sympathy nothing will.

So much crap in one post I'm just not going to waste my time responding to each point so I'll just share the link to the game you and I played this year and where your fantastic defensive strategy held my team to 445 yards and over 6 yards per play

Well I could not see myself creating a thread about this, so I post there. It seems Thomas left the game this week. Something tells me he will come back as leaving without a last provocation does not seem like him.

I am not sure the forum will miss him a lot, but he was an interesting manager with an interesting approach of the game (weak Center OL strategy and essential PB).
