LOD (Season 3)

[Pumchavas28]

Starts today....

BTHO everyone!!!!
:gig:

[Agnlaw]

16-0:gig:!!!

Roided Dix and Holland this morning!

[Pumchavas28]

All my players took a sip of the juice today... Good to Go!!!!

[whitelightnin_23]

roided cart hunter (level 20) and blazing saddle (level 19)

[TexAg77]

Hit Man and Whodat took a few drinks and are now level 15 and both should hit 16 after the first game.

How much do the level 16 equipment upgrades cost? Hit Man has a little over 30K and Whodat has 31K.

[Pflugerville Ag]

P-Ville just went to level 18 and will get to 19 after the first game. His speed is now over 56. Should have a monster season on special teams.

Cody Wallace went up to level 19 and will be at level 20 pretty quickly.

[txags92]

I figured out how to transfer juice through my phone and now Rock Goodag is 20, Moses Hall is 21, RedAss Bastard is 21, King Gill is 20, Rod Saddler is 19, Domingo Bryant is 18 (will get 19 after game 1), and Rod Bernstine who just started playing ball midway through last season is already up to lvl 12. The only one who hasn't made the choice to juice yet is the kicker...but the rest of the guys are leaning on him real hard.

Total price for upgrades will be $50k.

1 quick note....

There is no presure to boost on anyone...

However... if you don't boost & someone else does (at the same position) the depth chart will be adjusted if the disparity is more than 1 Level Difference... unless you asked to remain a back-up (like King Gill)

Reason being is because those 15 extra Skill points will be huge.

We will still rotate at the same pace we have been & the plays will still be split evenly across the board. Nothing will change with the sub settings...

The reason behind this is because in the 4th quarter, on 3rd Downs & in the Red Zone... We need our best players on the field....

As mentioned before... Over time, if certain players are OUT-PERFORMING players above them on the depth chart... They will earn their way into those starting roles, IF THEY CHOSE SO... Those moves wont be made without all parties being made aware of what is going on & why.

Just giving everyone a heads up.

per player...

[Agnlaw]

Looking at the other teams (the new ones in our league), I'm thinking we'll have a killer season.

[txags92]

I will be interested in seeing how the teams shake out after all the boosting is finished. We were already one of the top 4 teams in the league on paper, and it appears the majority of our starters and alot of backups have already boosted. What remains to be seen is what percentage of our competition does the same. At this rate I don't see us dropping out of the top 4, but I could see us moving up if another team doesn't boost as much.

[Pumchavas28]

Would be sweet to finally get past the 2nd round & possibly win a Chip!!
:gig:

After 2 Playoff Runs... It's time to make everyone FEAR LOD, & not just respect us.

[Pumchavas28]

Well Shyt....

Game 1 = 06/13/2008 Windsor Warriors (http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=190)

[PinetarAg]

how do you "Roid up"?

[Pumchavas28]

Boost your player up 3 Levels with Flex Points.

I hope they don't Boost their players... If they don't, we stand a good chance of beating them... if they do, it could get interesting....

[PinetarAg]

how do you get flex points?? Buy them

[TexAg77]

Yep, unless you can get new players to sign up using your referral link. Click on the flex points tab and then go to buy flex points. I purchased the DIII package.

The match-up page doesn't make sense. We have generally higher player levels but they have an overall rating of 36 vs our 33.

I saw that also.... Honestly... I stopped paying attention to that a long time ago...

Quite often in most of our wins, the team we beat will have equal or better ratings than us but with a record that does not reflect that.

:rep:

[Agnlaw]

Roided Pug. Our O line is looking awesome.

[txags92]

Ok guys...we are going to try to stuff the ball down their throats. As of 10pm tonight, they haven't roided up most of their defense, so we have a 2-3 lvl advantage across the board. Set your OL to run blocking and get your RBs ready to carry a load. WRs and TEs, lace up your track shoes...should be some open seams as Safeties come up to support against the run.

FWIW for our DC, the way OKC and others played Windsor tight in the playoffs was to shut down their key WR Jet PID. So we probably want to see where he falls on their depth chart and put our best CB up against him. They will likely try to live and die by the pass so we need to prepare accordingly.

[Pumchavas28]

You read my mind...:cool:

BLOODY FREAKIN KNUCKLES!!!!!!

[Pumchavas28]

1 thing I noticed about their RB's.... Is they had 16 Fumbles between their 2 RB's...

Our RB's only had 14 between the 3 of them... If this holds true, and it comes down to who puts the ball on the ground more often, I like our chances...

[whitelightnin_23]

I've improved blazing's carrying & worked on his strength (I think this is where I missed the boat last season).

HOPEFULLY, Goodson....I mean blazing will not have the case of fumblitis this year. :gig:

[Pumchavas28]

ANYONE with a Defensive Player...

Set your Tackling to WRAP UP...

Against some lesser teams we might be able to ease up on Wrapping Up, but against the Top Teams... I'd much rather have our defenders focusing on fundamentals & Wrapping Up!!! :gig:

Lets not beat ourselves...:gig:

[whitelightnin_23]

done...
I had to change my settings from where we "tinkered" with the scrimmages.

[Pumchavas28]

Anyone have a WR they would like to be on LOD????

There is a new WR spot open...:popcorn:

I can't work out a trade for your WR... I just received a Cash trade of $375,000 for one of our WR's...

He was un-happy about not being a starter this coming game & being replaced by Agnlaw Holland as one of the starting WR's...

He under performed last season based on his ratings & was often frustrated when he didn't start... Most importantly, he is not an Aggiefans.com member..

So I accepted the trade before he possibly turned things a little ugly... so we now have 4 WR's...

Currently to help, I have Magic Man (TE) & P-Ville Python (HB) listed as our 5th & 6th WR's on the depth chart to give our Top 4 WR's breather's every now & then... Magic because he is our Fastest TE & even faster than one of our WR's. Python because of his versatility.

So if anyone has a WR who is free, or can be released... Feel free to let me know & I'll sign him...

[TexAg77]

Hey Pum, I'm going to be away at Boy Scout camp from June 22 to June 28 and won't have access to a computer. Is there option available that I could let you manage my players for that week? If not, I'll probably try to get my son to do it for me.

[Pumchavas28]

Unfortunatly, no there isn't.... While guys like & you me would use it the right way, they decided not to add that feature because of the chance of people finding ways to cheat the game...

However... if you're going to be out during that time period... if you could do me a favor & during that time period If I could make just 3 suggestions for your guy...

Train Relaxed, Set them to Wrap Up, Set them to Play Hard and that should be it.... By the time you get back if he does go up a Level you'll be able to add those new Skill Points to where needed & we will be able to continue winning. :gig:

[Agnlaw]

I don't know of another WR (that is, until next season or so!). Kinda sucks to lose one of ours at this page of our story. On WR's, they should care less about the depth chart. My boy got plenty of plays as a backup.

[Agnlaw]

Is there actually a way to choose which CB covers with WR?

Not yet, but I read one of Bort's posts that eventually there will be.... Kinda like on Madden where in Man to Man you can select certain DB's to cover specific Offensive Players...

But right now the only way to get even close to that would be to adjust your depth chart to try & match theirs....

The only I REALLY do any mixing & matching is our DE's against another teams OT's... if I can create a HUGE mis-match with one & create a stale mate with the other... then that is what I go for...

Thanks... but I just asked Magic Man via PM if he'd like to be a "Tweener" WR/TE....

If he says yes... then I think our problem will be solved...

[txags92]

The depth chart matching was what I had in mind. I think the way the computer works it is to put the #1 CB on the best receiver in the game at the time. So if their best receiver is #2 on the depth chart, the #2 CB ends up covering him. Which is probably why King Gill did so well last season working from the #3 WR position. When we went 3 wide, he got covered by the #3 CB even though he was a higher level than our other two WR.

Interesting. This may be why Holland was more productive at the end of last season. I knew I liked him at WR4 for a reason.
