Bascially I know my team Never has a shot to win the Pro championship unless we merge with another team or The Monkeys get bored and disband their team.

What will happen is more and more teams will be gutted to make "Super" teams and the leagues will be forever screwed up.

Again I have no problem with what the monkeys are doing, however if you look at the long term picture for GLB this practice has to stop.
Maybe a roster size cap would do it. I'm not sure.

That's the main problem I have with the merger.

Strategy-wise, it's smart for the Monkeys. Kudos to them.

But we all saw what happened to Cyberdunk. Essentially, roster sizes need to be capped. I think 48 is more than enough.

I keep hearing this argument. being thrown out there. The monkeys aren't done with their roster yet. It will be the same size as it was last season. We've been overstacked with players every offseason. We downsize a bit right before the regular season.

Let us know when you're going to trim the fat so we can be in position to pick up the scraps/crumbs.

Thanks

Fair enough. I don't keep up with your roster generally.

Just that super-teams destroyed another game in a similar way, when two very good teams would merge to push themselves over the top, causing other mergers. Of course, then there became alliances where players were moved around the various teams and whatnot. Rosters about twice the normal size became normal, which ruined the fun for the general player. I hope we're avoiding it... I worried about it when USAORG came about, and the Orangeblood Nation and whatnot, but my fears are largely unsupported.

The good thing is that our players will decline in 4 seasons so it's not like we're going to be juggernauts forever.

If some of you are going to give up before we even start the season then really GTFO, If you lose to us tinker with some AI and come at us again. We have taken a couple smackings from HHW but you know what? We tinker with the AI and come right back, if you guys are counting your teams out before we even step on the field, that just shows you how much confidence you have in your team.

We have been big time underdogs before on the Monkeys but we found a way to win with what we had at the time, you should really find that in your team rather then throwing in the towel. This is US Pro man up already

If you can show me a team that said they were giving up I won't just think you're talking to hear yourself talk.

From all the whining going on I'd be foolish to NOT think people are giving up before it even started.

Ive seen a few that said they feel like giving up, my comment is more based on the attitude rather then the actual actions of the owners.

Not sure what kind of Browser your running on your PC over there but I can't hear myself talk when I type. Unless your one of those that talks while he types, that's not how I roll

The attitude in this thread seems fairly good natured to me. Not sure you could expect other teams to be excited about this news if that's what you were looking for.

And I have no hands, I have to roll that way.

MEM hasn't lost more than two games in the regular season since season 3. Life is is kinda different for everybody else.

This season will be fun, Monkeys you know the Warriors are always down for a good fight... keep doing what you are doing, people will always find reasons for losing and hating teams that dominate. To me if you play withing the rules and have fun, that's the bottom line.

hey if owners wants to merge team, buy teams, recruit teams, that's their prerogative... Shit, life is not fair... look at the Yankees... but the marlins still found a way to beat them in the World Series...

Never been any doubt about that in my mind Just pointing out that it's been awhile since you guys knew what it was like not to be on top.
