They dropped way more than 500$ on this game 
They have about 90+ players. All with equipment and boosts and they also own the team

As to the Hitmen ... well, I have much less of an issue with 2 knobs dropping $500 each for a three deep power squad compared to gutting/colusion. At least the big spenders aren't cheaters.
I've been told (haven't quite cared enough to really look into it) that the Orangebloods in our league are pretty bad for that. I'm not quite sure how their system works, but some seem to think they gain a huge advantage with something they do with their network of teams and players they have. Either way, if anyone is playing this game and getting a gigantic ego boost and needs to resort to these type of tactics to give their self-esteem a boost, then all the power to them. I think they're missing the point of this type of game however.

Not being an Orangeblood, but knowing some of them pretty well, for the most part, their system doesn't work great. They kind of keep an eye out for available players/FAs others need, give each other some trading preference, etc., but its usually not all about building up one at expense of another, and given the rarity of real impact FAs, I haven't seen a ton I'd worry about.
I've heard a lot more 'hey, I need a 5th CB, does anyone know of one' than 'Let's build an all 22-25 level team' - but that's second hand. Sure, its an edge in recruiting and having a deeper team, but those teams I've seen don't seem to be powerhouses like some of the gutters/colluders.

the hitmen would beat the orangebloods hands down. There isnt a team in the A8 league that i even give a shot at beating unless by luck or totally superior gameplanning.

Well they should, the Orange have lost 2 games in our division already. Our loss to them was one of those games where nothing went right for us. But that's football. Toe our RB lost more fumbles in one game than he did in his entire career combined before that one. We got stuffed on their .5 yard line and then missed the field goal. Stuff like that happened over and over again in that game. Not a big deal. They're a solid team and they do create a lot of turnovers but they have also lost twice. Our team is outmatched in a lot of the games we play but we are good at game-planning so we have a chance to compete.
The Hitmen on the other hand will take a great game plan, a team with good depth and perhaps a fortunate bounce or three to beat them. Easily a team like that would do fairly well in the USA Pro. Solid franchise. That is the problem with the chemistry in this game however. Teams where only a couple of guys own all the talent basically have a huge edge over teams that are constantly have to recruit and scrap with others to get a guy. Not sure what the change would be to correct it, but the current system does seem to encourage a team to not get too many different humans on board.

Well, we at least kept it from being a total blowout.....its demoralizing watching the pbp and watching them just pop off 10-15 yd passes at will, especially when our defense is #2 in the league against the pass, behind only the Hitmen. They are definitely ready for the pros
