Fair criticism lellow, and I can see that you did the same/similar on defense in our game in L10.
Using only a few plays on offense, especially the first game in 75, was a mistake on my part, chalk it up to what I have read & observed so far, like the 113 approach used by Infinity, the comments by setherick about it, and having cross effects in gameplanning/rules that I have fixed and continue to improve. I dont like to play with only 3 or 4 plays and dont like seeing it, so you can rest assured that I will be correcting that problem. A big part of the problem is when selecting plays for both offense and defense, and you look at the average per play, it starts narrowing down your choices, unless you just want to run a play irregardless of whether or not it is working for you. On defense, that narrows it down from 30 to around 10, at least from the numbers on my plays. On offense, it cuts it to around 20, with several that have much better average per play than others. Right? Apparently, Brysons (blackflys brother for those who do not know) playcalling variety is acceptable, even though it is also targeted and based on most successful results as all his teams win their division and many league championships. I dont think there is a gm winning more than he does, other than his brother. So, in the interest of leveling the playing field, might be a good idea to post the numbers on his plays, which for defense is over 90% blitzes with double LB's. For those of you who want to cry "thats not real football" when it suits your purpose relative to this game, how many pro teams blitz 2 LBs over 90% of the play calls? Yeah, the answer is none. But, if you dont match that when the best teams are doing that, you are going to lose.
I'm flabbergasted that you continue to call out people that never say a word about you. First off i've done nothing but help you since you joined the site. You have basically copied my wdraft strategy and never have i said a negative thing about you. Go look at my first two games in 75 and tell me that i used the same gameplan. I have your two games down by heart, why?? cause you only used like 5 offensive plays the whole game and two defensive plays. I never said anything or complained. What i did was just tried to beat it. The only reason you are even in the league is cause we wanted you to be a part of something special. I guess it was a huge mistake. Oh and what does it matter who i'm related to? You post and run your grandsons team and no one gives a ****. I usually don't like to get in any kinda of forum battle but this is the second time you've really got me heated. I'm going to end it by just letting it go but it's a shame that all the people you seem to criticize are the same people you are asking for advice and trying to emulate.
