Hey there! We will meet this afternoon in a league game.
I also invited you on the next friday friendly, since my stadium is already full built this gives you some extra money.
That's also something you will read a lot and as a rookie, too I can confirm, building the stadium is the first priority.
So welcome to RZA, get ready to read a lot in the beginning and enjoy this great game

Happy New Year Guys!

Another thing I would add for new managers is - Don't spend money on the Transfer Market. You don't need to do so! This is a quick way to go bankrupt. I even managed to go bankrupt after playing this game for a few years and I don't buy players on the TM! Going bankrupt is pretty easy to do.

If you want any help or advice either post here, in the Rookies Forum or send me a PM. I will help as much as possible. Also read Jack's Guide (not by me) - it is a very helpful source.

I know. But based on the argument I had read, I decided it was the right decision. The conference, as a whole, will gain.

Hmmm.

Looks like the AC will be decided by eventually 4 teams

Bradford Yo-yos
Black Dragons
Torchwood Aliens
Roll Badge 2.0

With likely the Aliens having only an outside chance, more likely is that Bradford Yo-yos vs Black Dragons will decide the Conference.
Roll Badge 2.0 will play spoiler eventaully.

And the NC looks a bit more open

Trois-Rivieres Oilers
Hemet Hooligans
Paxtang Black Panthers
Southern Meerkats
Angelland Lions
Osler Rotties

With Panthers and Meercats only having an outsider chance.
Likely Trois-Rivieres Oilers vs Hemet Hooligans will determine the Conference champ.
Lions and Rotties might have a say, but they seem to lose to often.
Still a good day of those teams can ruin any favorites dreams.

I hope we can improve the quality of teams a bit further to get healthy competition.

Working on improving the team, but as you know... takes time.

The Aliens are currently in financial survival mode having been on the edge of bankruptcy last season. I have managed to turn that around but am not in a position to be fussy about players. In any case I do not use the TM. I prefer to build from the draft and YA.

So we are less competitive at present.

As I said before if new managers want any help or advice either post here, in the Rookies Forum or send me a PM. I will help as much as possible. Also read Jack's Guide (not by me) - it is a very helpful source.

Another thing I would add for new managers is - Don't spend money on the Transfer Market. You don't need to do so! This is a quick way to go bankrupt. I even managed to go bankrupt after playing this game for a few years and I don't buy players on the TM! Going bankrupt is pretty easy to do. So think hard before going down the TM route is my advice.

Snappers are still not quite ready to play with the big boys, but at least our lineup doesn't consist of DL, exclusively. We've got a couple of K/P, too.

Jut kidding. Actually, about 90% of the seniors are in their final destination. The problem is skills, because in an effort to keep salaries in check, physicals are given absolute priority (90% at least until the red flag). But some are already past that point.
Also, for irl reasons, I haven't even started playing with the PB. Expecting to finally do that this season.

I hope that next season we'll be able at least occasionally to manage less laughable efforts against the favourites.
