this needs to be PM'd to every new user imo

I would say that the best way to make your life easier is to network as soon as you can. Most of this game has been around a long time, so many networks would love to take on a new user and teach them the ropes. In addition to learning about the game, you'll instantly have a group of agents to recruit from. Sometimes this can be as simple as PMing some WL teams and describe your situation. If you're serious about playing this game long-term, someone will give you the chance.

that's not a bad suggestion either.

Obviously, this is a very open-ended question because who knows what goes through someone else's mind?

However, I've made shed loads of offers and all get rejected. I have many open positions for human players, so they are guaranteed a starting position. I offer over and above the desired salary so morale bonuses are good (perhaps not good enough?) and I PM agents so my contract offer is a bit more personal. I care about players on my team and want agents to know their player will be looked after.

Is there anything I'm missing?

What are you looking for/considering when you receive offers for your players?

Evil Empire would be glad to have join us

2. Don't be too long-winded either. Nobody wants to hear about how you played football in high school (and presumably scored 4 touchdowns in a single game for Polk High in the championship), or about how you named your cats Mo and Bernard because, y'know what, **** the Patriots, or how you came up with the idea for the team name from the October 1984 issue of Mad Magazine (which is obviously assuming you've decided to name your team Inbanana Jones and the Temple of Goons, which is starting to sound better and better the more I think about it). But things that you should talk about include:


lol man did that show your age... sad part is.. I am right there with you lol

People need to take the time to learn the game... then learn to own and run a team...

It looks easy on paper... but without making contacts and knowing how to build dots.. most teams don't last too long..

new players who want a team should be planning it out for a season or to... Be active in forums (whatever teams your on) line up cords.. Chances are the cords will have a handle on some good builders,.. the more people you know. the faster you ca recruit...

IMO the biggest mistake new players make is trying to own a team before they understand the game...

I got a PM THIS season asking why I turned down a contract.. cause they were offering me twice the $.. as the team I signed with.. With no understanding that $ means nothing and at lower ages.. most of the $ should be going into building the stadium.. Things like that that you will learn by being a player.. ask a ton of questions from the people who are also on the teams your dots are on.. Get access to the Builders advice boards.. but in truth just take the time to get to know people..

you get 3-4 solid GLB guys helping you out.. recruiting becomes much less of a pain..

Joining a network isn't the answer. If you think it is go check out the TLFP forum. You will find networks looking for dots there. lol


Best thing to do is learn the game and post in the forums frequently. Even if I was in a network I wouldn't likely sign with someone I've never heard of, tbh.

You are confusing TLFP with TPR tbh.

nope

Another way is to go to the league pages and find CPU teams within the age range you need.

I pretty much tell people to sign cause i am amazing...it works from time to time

I always reject any offer from dss. He fills his recruiting PMs with lies about being amazing and such.

i think recruiting a full roster of semi pro dots in the offseason was amazing?

I could have done that in 2 days. ha ha

I also keep the flex bank full for my coordinators to run wild
