It's an honour that you consider me in this, but youre team is much better than mine or even Butch's.
Yes, it is power mode & anything can happen, but what counts the most in power mode is your players PC & INT, and most important, the playbook.
And of course to have fun playing against each other when the overall rating doesn't count.


Ha, i dont have a playbook.

I simply dont know enough about the NFL to complete one. Big fan of course, love the stats, im great at fantasy football, but all these dimes and Nickels just remind me how poor i am - in terms of the game they go straight over my head.

You don't need to know about the NFL to complete a playbook. The playbook in RZA does not work like real life where you can adjust at halftime or before the snap to the formation that is shown to you.

The playbook in RZA is (for me) THE component of the game where you test your wit against others. I wouldn't push this aside that easily...

In the playbook and formations chapter of the manual there are some hints. Especially in formations there is a link to a small applet that will let you play with different formations vs each other. Maybe this could be a good start for you. And, you should have a defensive playbook at least where you set a defensive formation for each possible offense formation to counter the attack. If you miss this important part, you will go "bot defense" all game long. That is for sure the easiest way to lose a game, except from punting on all first downs ...

Congrats on the win Johnny.
That turnover in the end of the 2nd quarter was the game changer for me. Damn
Good luck to all in the next 2 games

Alpin Ducks beat us, as always. GG! At least it wasn't a massacre.

And it shows my main weakness: I need to improve my running game, in the offense side of the game, and I don't really know how... better OL and RB? Better playbook?
