Good game.
Yep turnovers killed Toledo, the one right at the 50 was the killer. The last one not as much.

OK - it's time for the one that everyone was waiting to see:
My Adriana Lima Beans get STOMPED by the strongest team in the tournament by level (Detroit Dump Trucks).
Being simmed here in the next 30 minutes....

I'm not too sure about that.

The elite teams have nothing to prove. The underdogs, however...

Good luck.

Here's the extent of the gameplanning we did:
Drazz: Our next opponent sucks, so we don't really need to gameplan.
Jed: Yup, they suck, that's why I wanted to have our first-round matchup today. I'll scout them a bit and see what I find.
(10 minutes later)
Jed: Their WRs are pretty good, nothing else out there scares me too much. Tpat, any comments on defense?
Drazz: I think we can just throw XYZ preset at them on Offense and we'll be fine.
Tpat: Nope, don't need to change a thing.
So we didn't go all out, but we did look a bit. And the really cool part was that they threw an offense at us which we hadn't seen before, so after the game, we actually were able to adjust our defense a bit to account for what they did in the future.
And the whole boosted/non-boosted teams thing is going to be the downfall of any competition like this. Which is why I want Bort to have time in the off-season for stuff like this (running on the Friendlies server(s)) while he's doing updates on the live servers for next season. But I think I may have over-simplified how the game is run and the 2 can't be separated that easily.

The problem with doing this in the offseason though is that teams may be incomplete while looking for free agents. I suppose you could do it during the postseason, but no one is going to want to pay attention to the scrimmage tourney while real playoff games are going on.

The same cant be said for this. A bunch of teams aren't boosting for this, but every single one of them will for the playoffs.
1.) There are Dong players on several CPL teams. I wouldn't bet that they still don't have control.
2.) This tournament may not decide the best team, but it may decide who the best BOOSTED team is. You are just bitter because you want to know how good your team is, but will have to wait another year because you want to wait to boost. So you trash the teams that have boosted and are going to be trying to win. I know you don't speak for Vanilla Ice, but if you guys aren't going to try your best, then I think you shouldn't have entered the tournament and left a team that wanted to win enter instead. Unless of course you are just posturing/ making excuses in advance for why you didn't win like many other teams.
1. Im not convinced at all that the dongers left are clean, but right now I dont see what they could be doing to "have control".
2. Were in just because its a fun thing to do. We arent going to do anything to harm our chances in the league or spend time scouting but it doesnt cost us anything to play so we might as well. Im sure there are a bunch of teams in the same boat. Right now public perception of the tournament is that its disorganized, poorly selected, and most teams are just screwing around. I think a champions league type thing during the season would be great in future years with all teams fully boosted if there was a concrete qualifying method and the games werent just "exhibitions". Right now we dont have that.

Yea, but regardless of people's opinion on the overall thing, there are a number of really good teams in this, so you can't tell me you wouldn't want to win it. There would definitely be some bragging rights. Hell, just knocking off a team or 2 who are thought to be better than yours will bring some bragging rights.

I have been one of the biggest critics of this thing, and I agree with poorly selected and teams just screwing around. But I will give SI credit in the fact that this thing has been well organized (as well as you could hope for with the number of teams involved).

Im not saying thats all his fault, but just that from what Ive gathered its the majority public view. Having the tournament actually run through the game instead of just teams scheduling friendlies whenever just makes it seem more legit.

Yeah but my team said that EE Pro comes first, I asked if they wanted to boost to attempt to make it a game with Kalamazoo if we win in Round 1 and they without even 1 person saying otherwise, said no. They want our league first. So even if we win round 1, which is also not a given, then we have to play the USA Pro champ Rd 2 .. cool
