Warrior General Games

To be honest, last season I gameplanned like a maniac. This season, with the new rules and AI, it really does seem better to just play "your" game and make the other team beat you instead of tons of planning. The danger of gameplanning when youre a team doing well is that lots of teams feel they need to do something unexpected to have a chance of winning and so what would have been a good gameplan is really about the opposite of what they call.

Every time the Vikings have lost this season, I've deviated from my standard stuff. Woodridge is the only exception. I've learned my lesson though.

Yea, I usually change things based on opponents when i scout, and not based off my own roster and i think that screws me over. On the games I didn't scout I have changed tactics, like against Korb we did 80% pass, but that had nothing to do with us thinking they had bad DBs. We basically just wanted to see if we had a passing game to go to for the playoffs.

Yep, since we locked a playoff spot, we've been trying different things to see what works and what doesn't.

well, you guys are so much better than everyone, I thought that was a foregone conclution, right?

well, yea, but i don't want to try...not that we have scouted or gameplanned yet all season, but i thought i might for the playoffs.

actually, to be completely honest. i scouted and gameplanned the 1st 5 games in which we went 4-1.After that I figured we were good enough to beat bari and oxford so i took a break, then scouted and lost to the heat.lol...then said F scouting and gameplanning but then the roughnecks kinda scared me so i changed things for them too...then lost.haha-got demoralized from being a shitty gameplanner and stopped doing any "work", and we haven't scouted or gameplanned a team since and it has worked out alright.so what i am getting here is that i am the worst owner ever because we do worse when i try Haha....I can totally relate to that. It makes it pretty hard to set aside some time to scout/gameplan when it doesn't really seem to make a difference anyway.
