Game 3 - Rant vs. J Villians

I guess what they want is for you to go out and get better higher level players...to me they should really try to match teams up maybe by average level and use that to determine regions and conferences so helps even out the whole game.

Think about it, the way it is now...these teams that are playing us and smoking us are getting a SHIT load of XP for their star players cause of how badly they are woopin on us, where as we aren't gaining near the XP needed to try to lvl up close to them...its seems like it will just always be an endless cycle that we'll never pull out of just based on the setup of the game.

1. that quote was in regards to moving teams who ask to be moved up/down or trading spots..they aren't just going to move teams up and expand the divisions...some have to fall to even it out

2. the team we played today had a lot more guys playing in basically all the spots...the xp points are based on number of plays, not what you do during the game...if we're out of it, we need to get some of our low level guys out there so they can move up and help with team depth...its not good when 1 TE gets 50 plays and the other gets 9

oh for fucks sake you can't be serious, haven't checked the game thoroughly but I can't believe the score!!!!

I agree with SSigs and have read that stats and performance have nothing to do with XP, also anything over 40 or so plays and you no longer receive XP so we should definetely work on sharing the load for a few games so to speak.

I thought we were a hell of a lot closer to competitive than apparently we are so may as well work on some depth. Aside from that, it doesn't much seem that they were as weak in their interior run defense as I though, nor do the tactics seem to 100% be followed during the sim.

I read somewhere that tactics only effect 1st & 2nd down as the game makes adjustments for 3rd/4th I'll have to look into that further. Also, for splitting carries/snaps I've found someone who told me that energy settings of 98/0 will create an even split and may try that next game.

[ssigman]

will that work for all positions that use roughly 2 guys??? like TE, DT, FS & SS???

[ssigmanstinks]

supposedly, I'd like to try it for next game, worst that happens I imagine is that one guy gets all the work which is happening now.

Makes sense that if there are 2, and one hits 97 energy the other comes in right? just and odd setting though.

[ssigman]

ok make it happen and lets see if we can get some other guys some plays so they stop bitching to me

[BtownBeers]

I dont' get where you are saying anything over 40 plays you don't get XP for...that makes little sense...I only saw 40 plays as an example, it would help if we had a link stating all this but I can't seem to find one.

Also by upping the lower lvl guys equal playing time can hurt the higher lvl guys so we should keep that in mind. A lower lvl guy getting X amount of plays vs a higher lvl guy getting X amount of plays is a huge difference in XP...so while its good for them it sucks for the higher guys who are trying to get better.

Personally lower lvl guys shouldn't bitch about playing time, at least they are on a human team...they should have just been on a CPU team for a season or two to lvl up to a better lvl then get on a team close to their own lvl, thats how the game is basically designed to play.

[ssigmanstinks]

in yesterdays game my HB had 42 plays for 242 XP and my G had 59 plays for 246 so it seems to be accurate to an extent with the less points over 42 plays. (they were both at the same level)

Ssig,
I have a 100 flex points. Do you need me to create a player or should I just boost my kicker? I guess I could only create a C,G,or OT.
