No I pretty much think that based on activity, past experience/games and overall levels I got it pretty dead on. The only people who have a little ruffled feathers is me putting Detroit so high, but I feel they have the levels at least to be really high in Alpha .. had I said that all Alpha teams are lower than all Zeta teams .. the same whiners would have said that I was disrespecting Alpha .. when you try to do something like this its a lose-lose situation, but since I was the most trusted person to do it, I did.


Yeah, heh. I'm not complaining about any of it. I applaud the effort that went in, I know it can take a while to compile all the data and write it as a coherent opinion.

I've always said (regardless of if it hurt or was a bonus to my own team) the early regular season games mean nothing. We very easily could have lost to GCP and the outlook would have been bleak losing three straight. But since that's all we have to use, I can understand any opinion written from it.

Anyone who complains over it just needs to wait until midseason when the teams have battled and we know who is actually good and who just got lucky

They are fun to look at. Thanks for doing them. Dogdandy doesn't run, throw, catch, tackle, or kick well though. That's why the are too high

Gen. Patton's Demon Brigade
Last Season: Lost in Round 1 to NFL, as I predicted, I figure they were tired, has always been a real solid playoff team
Notes: Looking at the roster, man .. what has happened here, they have lost serious amount of talent. High quality talent in a few places but they need some serious life support and recruiting. Most of their players dont look like they have boosted and if demonicangel's attitude is representative of their attitude over there, it could be near the end for one of the original two league CCG teams. They could be in the playoffs this season and probably will be because of the weakness of Alpha .. but I just cant see that team keeping up with Vilnius, GCP or Detroit, which is sad.


I have no idea what's happened here. Our forum is dead. One thing of note is that the Demon Brigade is made up primarily of Houston Texans fans, so some may be struggling with power outages (as of today, 25% of the city still doesn't have power). But I can't answer what happened with the talent.

Very nice writeup, thanks.

At first I didn't read the intro and was like ZOMG NO DETROIT MUST POST ANGRILY . Then I read on. I agree this league needs to be have promoting/relegated fixed as soon as possible. Detroit beat GCP today and has no one to look forward to besides maybe the Maulers in week 12?

It will be interesting to see how Zeta plays out this season. Once Zeta fully boosts and adjusts to tactics, I expect the strong play of Prague to slowly trickle down to very tight games. But we'll see as the season goes on, it's my first season here so I don't know the tendencies of teams as well.


Yup I think our team and our teams were the only ones in Alphas this week to beat a quality opponent.....not that the bars mean much but Kazan had us 48-45 on the bars....nothing new for us though.

Well Kazan, RAR, Chairmen, and the Reapers are competitive teams so dont take them too lightly but only 1 of them beat us unboosted last season if memory serves and we took them out today...sweet revenge.


lol...at least we get props for being a real team you beat today...and happy for you that you got even for losing last time out...after today's game i am even more disgruntled than ever about the bogus simulation that is GLB...love that pitch play that went from reasonable to worthless during the offseason...combined with unstoppable inside running this game was a joke...no matter how close it may seem it was a simulation joke...bort is running out of time or this game is toast...

we have another couple real games before the romps begin...




Hrmm sour grapes maybe?

You guys give up a a decent amount of yards to the inside run so thats why we did it alot.

I know everyone says the pitch play blows now but we seem to run it fairly well:

I think you got beat by a better team and are a bit sore about it to be honest.

You guys are a competitive team but lets not cry when you get beat fair and square.


Nothing personal about being beat by your team...my comments are based on multiple teams and multiple games...Borts simulation has some real issues to sort out...it doesnt matter if you win or lose a game...the issue is there are big issues with GLB...your win last week or my win this week are meaningless if GLB is gone in a season or two....that is my point...im not gonna slit my wrists over losing an online game to some guy i dont know from squat...so no sour grapes....congrats to you for beating us...but the game has issues...

as far as the report on Kazan and its funds i guess two things on our cash balance...we have set aside a multi-million dollar equip fund which doesnt show in our cash balance and about 3/4 of our players already have cash bonus handed out to them for level 32 equip...we have essentially prepaid that balance...

from there we still havent fully sold our tickets yet this season and in the past we didnt have home playoff game money in large quantities...that my friend is the dollars and cents in kazan...since we have the money in player hands we actually have plenty of cash in our equipment fund and bank account...

we could use a few players...so next time a gutting occurs and you want to stay in EE Pro give us a call...
