Im the new owner of the team. I am selling the human players left and gonna let the rest of the season go on with CPU players. This way I can go on a shopping spree this offseason.

So sorry for not giving ya'll competition.

I actually forgot I was on the waiting list for a team and I woke up with one this morning. I really dont even want a team as I GM for 2 others haha. Whatever though.

Good luck and you'll be seeing a nasty defense next season.

That is a TERRIBLE way to try and make a team.

That isn't even the best way to try and make money for your team. Your stadium is large enough and your team has enough banked that you'd be better off trying to win a few games and keeping fan support up - your finances would be better served by that actually.

And trying to recruit from a completely gutted team is a HUGE leap backwards and will make recruiting harder. Heck, why not try and keep a few of the people currently on your team?

I appreciate the apology, but you're doing yourself a real disservice with the way you decided to try and do things here. There's a few other bad teams here right now... but have fun in AAA after a couple seasons.

Half the agents don't want to stay, and I am not gonna hold people against their will. And those players are mostly the higher lvl ones. Plus the number of bad builds on the players who are on the team is crazy.

So I am being a nice guy and putting the agents first, sue me.

Good luck Swoosh. If you are still up in Pro next year, then maybe you can be a like 12th seed, then the year after, you might be able to contend.

Since you have cash you may want to try to add players through fire sales from teams getting sold back. You are under chemistry grace and you may be able to add 15-18 players by buying contracts. That way you might win a couple more games and lock yourself back into the pros next season. Remember the bottom couple get relegated down the AAA.

Bad builds? If I remember right, this team was a force. How can a team as good as belgrade was have alot of bad builds?

The least you can do is find people at lower levels that can't find teams and let them get some experience.... You can sign them to the end of the season.

But I'd at least try to find some players now that wouldn't mind helping you rebuild. Those players will know they had a hand in building the team and might up being the future of your team

Yeah, I've always been on record for letting players go. No reason to waste time on players that don't want to be with you, I figure. It doesn't help anyone to try and make people play for you. That's cool. I appreciate that.

I'm still just really put off by the notion of bringing in all CPUs. Just seems like a real waste. At the VERY least, I do think trying to win enough games to not fall from Pro and to try and not lose way too much fan support should be immediate goals.

More than that, even if you only find one person that contributes to the future... that's a head start that you wouldn't have from just completely quitting the season. For your own sake, I hope you do know that you might be a "bad team" but you at least think about salvaging the season as best you can and even consider that as the best investment you can make for your future.

Alright, I changed my mind.

I am gonna try to sign one player per position and let them get all the snaps per game for XP.

You are right about signing people now during the grace period. I would be stupid not too.

Thanks for getting my head straight lol

Icyspyder and TundaKlap used their players as trade bait, basically ruthless owners just dealt their worst players to Belgrade to get the high level players of the owners, leaving the agents of the players who were traded .. stranded.

But thats not to say that the high level players of Belgrade had super builds, I believe Malachorn and I wouldnt think so. They were bar chaser builds for certain.

Excellent post. =]

For that, you deserve a gold star.

Huh what? http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=40075

6:52 Belgrade TD Little Debbie pass to Streak'a Lightnin' up the left side intercepted by Antonio "Velcro" Cromartie, PAT made by Taylor 'Made' Mehlhaff [TD] (67 yd return)

13:20 Belgrade TD Kickoff by Dante Williamson, 58 yd, fielded by Mike Jakens, PAT missed by Taylor 'Made' Mehlhaff [TD] (88 yd return)

Yall won by 7 points, needed to get lucky with an int ret for TD and a KR for TD and had 110 less yards and you call that kicking ass? I call that getting really lucky to get a win when you had boosted and we had not.

But you can really think what you want .. basically yall punked out of EE Pro because you wanted to whine that Bort was changing things for the better for the vast majority of players, or whatever your excuse of the week was.

Also dont forget yall completely sold out your pal Lance, you traded him to a sucky ass team in order to spring your own player. Now Lance is over there suffering on a crappy team that has no idea how to play, he has begged me to pay for him to get off that team, but hes only there because yall did to a former GM and long time starter for yall just what you did for the players that are presently on that team, you used him as tradebait.

So who are the little bitches here?
