Figure the 1st season in AA will be extremely rough ... being above .500 would be a significant achievement ... season after that .. depends on teams that move up, teams that go cpu and move down, and teams that get bored and do not gameplan to their max capability.


And than rinse and repeat once they get to AAA. You are looking at every bit of 6 seasons getting to Pro, and that assumes that you can get out of AA after two seasons, and than get out of AAA after two seasons, which succeeding at both levels like that is kind of a stretch. These players are 3 seasons old already, they'll be in their 10th season before even sniffing the Pros.

The jump from BBB to A isn't real big, but the jump from A to AA is huge. You can win a championship in BBB and win a championship in A in back to back seasons without even being slow built.


Haven't seen a significant challenge in AA yet for my team, although it is not a slow build team There are just as many gimme games in AA as in A so far. Yet AAA and Pro will be vastly different, but I am expecting teams to be throwing in the towel due to boredom of the game or wanting to start over about the time we arrive there.

I can't wait until Mith's team runs into higher level teams in AA that he kills on every scouting bar by between 3 and 6, yet loses games because he is 20 levels behind and is giving up 15 to 20 vet points to every player on the roster. Not because I want Mith to fail, but because it will take something like this to happen before people fully realize that the vet point system is too heavily weighted toward older players with bad builds.


It doesn't favor higher level players with bad builds, it favors higher level players in general. Good and bad builds alike. I don't think there is anything wrong with rewarding players for reaching high levels. That's why they're called vet points. Veterans have inherent advantages in real life, too.


Ya, they get to drive around with those shitty ass license plates that say "Korean war vet"

You won them playing against players created later than yours though. Of course Build is greater than level, but level matters. Creation date also matters.

There are other examples of super slow built teams that won 2 championships back to back early. Then haven't advanced since making it to AAA.

Wow, I'm appalled of all this Once we make it to AAA and the Pro's. Your in A Ball and nothing is guarenteed. I also can't believe you guys will not Accept Any Scrimmage Challenges until you make it to the Pro's. You say to give your opponents less game to scout by. Well the games that really matter are the Playoffs. They have 16 Regular Season Games to look at do you think they care about scrimmage games. I know there's way more scouting in the Playoffs but I just think you guys need to shut the fuck up if your not gonna challenge other teams from other leagues.

We won our first two seasons and now are in limbo stuck in AAA heavily out levelled. Although our owner is loyal and refuses to upgrade players.

I thougth you guys were a solid team last season. Africa Pro is a totally new animal than AAA too. We didn't have many issues with AAA, but Pro is a real toughy. You'll make it eventually, but it's going to be very hard to stay there.

^^^ window closes in a hurry though, as teams from below and FA movement make it harder to win if your owner does not solidify the squad through recruiting. Might still make it to the Pros, but to be relevant in the Pros and have a shot at winning it is not an easy prospect.

You didn't have issues with AAA? Didn't it take you 5 seasons in AAA to make it to Pros?

The only problem I have with most "slowbuilders" is that they still have no real good clue with what ends up being a good build and, honestly, most of them spend a lot of time thinking they're maximising their point values to find out that at the end of their career they didn't really do that and their in the same boat as most people that didn't "slowbuild."
Just sayin'

super slow build has been around since season 2. mith has been around since season 5? or is that a multi? anyway the point being I think super slow build evolved on it's own.

player creation date =/= account creation date... his user ID places him around the start of season 3
