Are there levels and divisions. I see pull downs for divisions but why is a first time team playing 90 elo teams. There's no point. I know I'm homecoming. But just write me the check because the 108-0 box score is useless.
Looks like I'm gonna have to play prevent on every first Down If given up 7. 75+TD passes in last 5 quarters. And so much for a shootout. The qb I upgraded to for 2 mil. Is 48 qbr pts worse. Than my 17 rating passer my new superstar has thrown three pick sixes in the first QUARTER I'm set to random passing. , if I focus. That becomes scoutable and I'm even less co petitive. So 49-0. First quarter. We are outscoring them the rest of the game Comical |

At least that competitive or strategy based.
When u win by 100 does that mean all your plays work (yes ) One week later u lose by 100 does that mean NONE of ur plays work(yes) I know calibration is touchy but If I win by 100 why change anything If I lose by 100. .what? Throw all my plays out? Just waiting however many seasons this takes to get a meaningful outcome And this isn't sour grapes. I just got here and I'm 9-2 in world cup Just waiting for the fun to kick in Do we play some of the same teams next season Or is it just universal round robin No rivalries and I can't scout rosters cuz u can't see anything Difficult to prepare Which since u can't play live , preparation IS the game I don't need a pep talk but if u have some facts on scheduling I'm all ears |

And while ive spent a lifetime taking a guy from the parking lot and starting him in a game , if I sign Brett Favre at halftime. He HAS to still be better than THE JR HIGH QUARTERBACK I HAD
I wonder if I can resign my 15-17 pass rating qbs. They AVG a 125 rating Throwing to 35 speed 14 catch receivers My 33 rated passer throwing to 32 rated catchers 1st. 10-23. 3 int returns for a TD Ooooh my player of the game 2.5 mil. New rec. 1 catch 12 yds I need the guy I CUT back he caught 13-297-7 TDs first game 20 more receiving and passing pts and 11 million in freed agency And we are MUCH worse now |

So here's the dynamic
U start w a horrible team 3 levels below the drek I have now U will lose by a lot The only way to progress is better players But the transition to them is also a built in losing streak I'd like to see games played weight divisions Otherwise SENIORITY becomes the most important factor to winning And while its Great for the designer and first comers. Latecomers stand no chance This is too good a game to be hampered by that dynamic It is fixable But I've been in and commished at least 100 leagues playing dozens of diff football games. This is usually how they die Built in seniority advantages Tangible ones that affect gameplay Not the " new guy reading the rules " experience gap That is to be expected But in NFL. Lower teams get extra help for parity sake I am lower southern Idaho state No matter what I do or how long I play I will never catch or have a chance to be the best Talk me off the ledge with some facts Somebody? |

Team chemistry is huge
My 50 rated passer. Has. A 70 qbr. A negative TD /int ratio My 17 rated passer has a 95 passer rating. 3 to 1 TD ratio If the math holds once I'm past the team chem penalty He should be a God |

First, I think one of the best part of this game is that more senior players do not have that much of an advantage. Sure, for the first two seasons, they do, but here I am in only my third season and I am competing for a playoff spot with teams that have been around since the game started. So it can be done, and it can be done relatively quickly. And by the way, I only have one of my original players left on my roster, and he is there only in case I suffer a rash of injuries at DL. So don't fall in love with your current roster too much. Also, I've seen you complain about scouting a couple of times. The information that you seem to be requesting can be found simply enough. Go to the page for the team you want to scout, click the "Chronicle" tab and scroll down to team stats. Honestly, though, I don't find this information terribly useful for scouting. I find the best route is to look at your opponents last three or so games and try to trace their play calling. Some keep it very simple, others are very complex. Finally, either getting a mentor or spending significant time reading through the manual and forums goes a long way. I never went the mentor route, but did a lot of reading and befriended a fellow rookie and we figured a few things out together. This is not a game of instant gratification, but can be a lot of fun with some patience. |

Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser started in season 16 and won the Elite Bowl in season 24. Perceived seniority advantages are absolute nonsense. |

And he's been a 10+ W team in Elite since season 20 so it took him less than a year to reach the top.
