Warrior General Games

Malakias it has alot to do with the types of builds of your guys. Is your front defensive 4 putting any pressure on their qb to cause bad passes? Is their running game all over you? We average about 2-3 punts per game. So we usually score either a TD or FG every possession. Plus if you look our team has 14 sacks or so which will cause us to get the ball more and our QB has yet to throw an INT. The more you get the ball the more your chances are of getting more points. The defense is my job so i aim to try to get a shutout but its not always possible. I have no control over the offense but i do get them the ball alot more than normal. Also your running game will be alot weaker if your front Offensive 4 isnt putting up alot of pancakes. So your "overall" could be better than the opposing team but a good build will trump it. Look at the michigan rage / new brunswick game. On paper michigan was an inferior team. But they managed to pull an upset win by making sure that new brunswick couldnt pass the ball to help their run game. Even looking at our matchup vs New brunswick they are the superior team on paper. But if you look at points scored vs allowed we have doubled the amount of points they have put up and have been scored on half as much. Even with them having 100 more total pancakes than us. It is a team effort and everyone has to pull their own ESPECIALLY now that chemistry is in effect. Lower chemistry means weaker teamwork which can cause bad plays. I am done rambling for now but i would really have to take a look at each one of your defensive players to see where you could improve. Its why i run the MMs Defense

I don't think we are the superior team on paper. You are 2-3 levels higher than us at most positions. Maybe our 3rd string backup is a lv 6 and yours is a lv 4. Or, we have 2 lv9 QBs and you have a lv 13 and a scrub. so the matchup bar takes the average and rates us higher. But your lv 13 QB stays in most of the game and the lv 3 scrub never sees the field. But comparing the players that play, on paper you are the far superior team.

But I agree with the rest of what you said. Malakias , if you look at our last game, we would kickoff, they'd get the ball back at the 40, they would go 3 and out, put 18 yards with a 10 yard return, and then we'd score. D and specials set up the O.

Also, you haven't played the Jersey Boys yet.

I am far from considering myself amazing at figuring out which builds are best, but I really do think that we have quite a few guys on our defense with optimal builds for their level.

hahahaha, I keep writing stuff and deleting it because I don't want to give away anything about how we are operating our team =P

I really think it is a matter of our offense just being a bit lower level then some of the others out there right now. I'll be interested in seeing how we operate really late in the season. Such as 15 days from now, when we start the hardest part of our schedule by playing you guys!

Maybe if one of us gets promoted to the next league this season i'll be asking you to make a Level 1 guy real quick and let me sign him so I can ask you what you think about builds on the team =)

the top 2 from each conference move up right?

i think for BBB teams its only the winner of the playoffs. If you just look at who plays how much of each game nike ya maybe we have the edge but everyone of your backups is of equal or higher level. So at least when you substitute you are not losing much. Thats probably why it gives you the edge. But ya most of our team plays the whole game. I made sure stanima was good before i created the defense i run. Malakias you have to remember we will be gaining levels along with you so when your team reaches levels 11-12 by end of season we will be 15-17

"but everyone of your backups is of equal or higher level"

Your starters are significantly higher in level. Our backups are marginally higher. But that isn't even clear. Just off of the top of my head (it has been at least an hour since I last looked at your depth chart lol), your backups are A LOT better at DT, TE, CB, HB.

also, regarding game planning, it matters, the tactics you select have a big impact on the game, but OUR human game planning has a lot less impact that we all would like to think. the game changes every week. Bort tinkers and everything changes. This is the Beta version. So there is no team that can really hone in on a system for tactics that is very fine tuned. The game just changes too much.

true but i also read the updates section so i know what changes were made if any before a game is played so i will come on 4-5 hours before the game and tweak it if need be. That one week that bort tweaked the qb settings and all hell broke loose we still dominated the team we played because of the changes made to recoup any lost stuff. Ya our gameplans wont have a 100% effect true but it does help vs a team who lets the computer pick everything for them. I am eager to see what tommorow will bring and i am 110% sure it will be one hell of a game

Yeah, but you have to take boosting into consideration. Our Level 7-9 guys are getting more exp per game than your 11-12's, based on who has boosted and who has not, that gap isn't so big =)

The factor there though is that we have no clue which members of the other team have or have not boosted.

Deathknight,

Well, you are definitely better at this then us then, lol. We were barely getting the hang of how the sub patterns played with our roster when they changed the energy. Just because I know what Bort says he is going to do doesn't mean I can adjust my tactics to behave the way I want. So you you have a talent. But we are working on it. If we don't get good at tactics it won't be for lack of effort.

Malakias, one thing to take comfort in, as we all progress, the gap between us and MM will diminish on a relative scale. The gap between lve 9 and 12 is big. But the gap between level 30 and 33 is not so big. They may still be 3 levels higher, but they will go from being 30% better to 20%, then 10% then 5...

very true on the gap. As the levels increase The skill gap will decrease. As for me having a talent i guess you could say so. I have always been good at games where you have to devise strategies to win.

and also the fact that lower level players can level up faster means it would be closer than 30 to 33 by then..
were all coming MM!

Power rankings? I was hoping to get one power ranking in after our 82-0 win, but before the MM game. lol.

By the way Malakias, I like your team art also. You have a theme and art style. It works. Very cool.

I love the way this picture came out! When I decided to leave the team name as Bullets I went looking for a good picture and Bullet Bill from Mario Bros. was the first thing that came to mind.

I originally found it in Black and white and posted it on the GLB forums and a guy gave it to me with some different background colors

http://starapplekingdom.com/dave/glb/bullets_green.jpg
http://starapplekingdom.com/dave/glb/bullet_blue.jpg

and then he changed the color of the Bullet in one pic and it came out amazing! So I went with that for our team Icon and then made it my icon when I post, to further represent the team!

I actually like the idea of using the team jerseys for your picture like Flex Mangum does on our team, but a few of us already have themes.

I went with names and pictures pertaining to Colts player and Dragonlance characters.
The Duff Man has a lot of Comic Book based guys
Steveaw2 uses Bears players(Fool!)

I considered changing to the jerseys like Flex used, but I just really like seeing the Colts player pics on my Homepage!

come for us COME
