GG Green Bay! At least you didn't the ball 80 times!
I'm actually glad to be out because this just isn't fun.

Tricon did the O again, just because he had already put so much work into scouting you guys. He did tell me that he was disappointed that one run play he had set at 20% ran so often and that the sim didn't pass as much as it should have. I do agree, though. This is my least fav sim this ssn.
PS...For the little it's worth, I thought you guys had a very good ssn, for as tough as it is up here now, not having played most of the teams before and it being your 1st ssn here.

Thank you, and I just put a link to this thread in my team forum, cause I don't want there to be any miscommunication about my feelings and opinions about the game so that we can all be on the same page.

We will once more people get rushing QBs, I'm making a QB just for that and I'll have to bitch if Bort actually does fix it.
Honestly, I don't see a big problem with it (and yea, I know I'm biased). The play can be stopped. Rather easily in fact (I stop it all the time on the teams I GM).
The one thing it does, however, is punishes teams that send 8-9 up the middle. It forces a defense to make strategic choices. Right now, it's pretty simple - stop the inside run, and stop the pass. There is no game planning the outside run. The QB boot at least makes that happen. Of course, if the outside pitches worked worth a damn then teams wouldn't need running QB's to go to the outside.
When every one else has a running QB in USA Pro, just remember who started all the havoc!
Its a simple play to stop in its own right, but when you can run it to both sides from virtually any formation, especially strong I, its pretty ridiculous. Then add to that the fact that you can sub in your special wildcat QB without the D being able to key in on that, and that the D doesn't even recognize its a run until the QB is past the LOS (worst part) and you've got a big 8-10 yard per clip cheeseball.
Its dumb that the D can't run special plays for RB1/2 QB1/2 etc. It would add a whole extra level of gameplanning to both the D and O, and would be the closest thing we could get to play action.

He did a good job scouting our zones (which I think got nerfed somehow with the midseason update even though it wasn't supposed to affect zones) which is why your completion percentage was so high. Of course, those holes aren't there very often if we don't have to run-blitz beyond reason. I'm actually wondering myself about the 10 screen passes...I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have been called anywhere near that often (and certainly not like 5 times in a single drive), but our OC is unavailable for comment since he is on vacation.
I just wish I wasn't going to have to add like 10 players to our roster to compete. And I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to at this point because I won't even be able to promise even max xp to anyone but starters. I really think we need a roster limit.
Anyway, good luck.

Seriously. This has been a very long season and stressing over essentially the same defensive gameplan over and over just to have a chance of slowing down the run, and about our KOS which I can't do anything about until I can make personnel moves again, have taken their toll. I was ready for this season to end after our game against Vegas. I'm guessing you aren't a DC if you don't understand where I'm coming from...notice how GB didn't really put up a lot of yards for their 60+ points...they didn't need to, and the fact that something that takes so little planning should negate everything we do well really irks me.

TSE.
I have to call you out again on your bullshit.
In the early seasons you did everything you could to gain an edge in this game. You signed and sold players. You traded GLB in game cash for your strategy guide. I can attest to this first hand because I was on your team. By your own account on the team forum you gained an extra $4M from doing this. At least $2M from "selling" your strategy guide before it was on Ebay. This is back in season 1, when GLB cash was king in building up your stadium. And I strongly suspect these are VERY low estimates, since I stopped paying attention to what you were doing because I thought it was bush league.
You were likely the first team to have a full stadium because of it, and you are still sitting on a $100M winfall despite not having hosted nearly as many playoff games in your team's history as some of the other teams in US Pro that are nearly broke.
You lost a couple of good players, and all of a sudden your new philosphy is not to win at all costs?
And you have the gall to call our others for an "unsportsmanlike game and playing a chicken-shit game"
So let's hear it. Do you repent the crap you did in the first few seasons that was against the spirit of the game just to get an edge, or are you full of
BULLLLL
SHIT!
I think you can't recruit worth a shit anymore, and the players you can recruit aren't as good as the guys you have anyway. Clinging to the moral high ground now just makes you look like a jack ass.
You might also recognize that the teams with crazy depth, like mine or the Gamblers, are teams where the owner has brought in a massive amount of their own players. Players they have spent money on..and don't mind getting a few snaps a game to help their team have fun and win.
Once again this is something you can't do because you only have one player. Given your past behaviour, I have little reason to doubt that if you were sitting on 30 of your own players, most of them would be on your own team providing the very depth you are bitching about.
Edit to add: It looks like you have hosted 10 playoff games in your team's history.

oh yea, I forgot about the selling players stuff. I remember going after one of those way back when my team was first starting out and TSE wanted like a million for a player - which you couldn't do without exploiting the broken trade system they had then.
Ha Ha thanks Duff.

Wow, you are a real jerk you know that?
You have a monster depth edge and a monster rush edge and you won the game and couldn't just leave it at that? So now you want to brag like you would have won running a lot less, well screw you Hazy.
You strike me as being more likely to wear a pad than a tampon.
