I also dislike creating playbooks, the system is so clunky and counter intuitive. I like to keep some randomness in there to allow for quick shifts in formations and tactics, but its tricky to balance this.

I think the key to your problems was the over-reliance on the SG formations - Pete tweaked the game engine at the start of last season, and their dominance was heavily nerfed. Plus you had quite a few OOP players in your depth chart, which meant there were gaps that were exploitable (CB/SF for example). The OOP penalties mean that depth charts need to be somewhat more balanced now. I knew when I played you that if my team could be in touch at halftime we should prevail, as I was rotating fresh receivers against your tiring/oop secondary. (the playoff game went a bit wrong though and you killed us in the 1st half - my D didn't show up til halftime in that one)

Good luck with the rebuild though!

Thank you, I have been thinking about a rebuild since the end of last season. The building of the roster was always my favorite part of the game. I had IMO the ultimate team for the Season 27-29 game engine. I have some new ideas on some different player builds based on the new world order. I just need to take some time in the next 6-9 months to come up with a decent playbook.
PS I can not believe there is no one bidding on my starting QB Duffy, he is around 52 speed, 50 intel. As Steve would say "another track star on your squad?"


I am finding that high salaries really puts off bidders

Funny, I remember stopping my bidding for your future QB Hategka at one hundred and some million. What was his final number?

There not all super high, take a look at majority of my LB's and DL's trained to low to mid forties.

spartans, once again, this is not the transfermarket-forum you also did this "subtle" advertising in the EL forum during your last roster purge and subsequent tanking job some like to call "rebuild"

It’s a rebuild. Tanking is when you have the talent to win but throw the games. On the TM issue yeah I am pushing a little bit. However nothing like when Cyril left the game a few seasons ago. He had his own TM thread going in Sea Devils
PS. This will be my last post on this matter.

How do you think my bank balance got so big

At that time I was trying to build a competitive Elite team around a strict salary cap (of 50% of the salary of the team at #100 in the top 100 salaries list).

I was regularly making profits in excess of 100m per season...

After Frienze left the game it is probably you or Angus that has most money in the game. A job well done.

Yes I'm and I'm not willing to spend. I'm more a Dagobert Duck type of guy.
