I'm ready for this season to get started so I can start trying some of this crazy stuff I've been thinking about.




I am going with the hated 6 WR set...?!? And a very balanced defense to deal with all these varied offensive schemes... love it!

I think I got that lb at an 88. War got like 3 of the top ten guys, but perhaps it just was a deep draft


Yes, but the defending champ only had 1 pick in the first round ;)

It's cool lol, WarEagle has one heck of a team in this league and if the sim had gone his way he could have just as easily been the champ. I really liked the work he did in the draft, he caught a couple unfortunate breaks in training camp though. On that same note, this was a really deep draft, I wish I would have had more picks for this season.

All i have to say is if Chicago Bears run the TABLE then you can pretty guarantee everyone and their brother is going to make sure to not have a head coach or even 5 other coaches (QB , backfield , receiver , tight end and kickers )

WHY you ask???

Because what scout offense/scout defense says when you try to scout the team = Your next opponent does not have a head coach and so does not have a playbook.

so if he were to win the whole thing with that setup thats why i say people would do it

btw take a look for yourself Chicago = https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/team/view/28

The AI will sign a coach if he doesn't have one for the first preseason game, and after that it's impossible to be without a head coach until the one you have retires.

I suppose you could change head coach styles at every game stage to keep your team from being scoutable, but you wouldn't be able to build a gameplan for yourself in that case either.

so does that mean the Al will sign a coach for all 6 places on his coaching staff that doesnt have one or just the head coach so people can scout him then it will sign the rest the next spin??

I think it should fill out the entire coaching staff.

Typical crappy camp for me.

Rookies:
1.06 DE Sawyer -2 (vol 50)
1.13 CB Huggard -8 (vol 74)
1.22 CB Patrick -2 (vol 34)
1.31 TE Porter +2 (vol 92) (may switch to OL eventually)
4.31 QB Spadafora -2 (vol 32)
5.31 WR Hines +4 (vol 72)
6.31 C Villarreal -1(vol 78)
7.31 FS Palmer +4 (vol 88)


Entire 60-Man Roster:
2 players +4
1 player +2
5 players +1
17 players 0
18 players -1
11 players -2
6 players -3 or more

That's 52 out of 60 players who didn't improve at all.

With a HC rated 97 and OC/DC both rated at 92, I would have expected some actual positive progress to be made in TC.

What does it take to actually have a good camp?

Is TC progress just as random as everything else?

It's almost funny. I know I said that I always expect to have a poor TC, but each time I still find myself actually looking forward to it thinking "maybe this is the year I have a good camp"! Nope.

In all the many, many, many TCs my teams have gone through, I've had 2 that were good.

I'm pretty sure which way a player will progress is totally random

Rookies:
1-12: SS-#56 Louis Palmer (60/98)(+7/0)(82 vol.)
-- strip ball went up, everything else stayed at max
2-11: WLB-#59 Christopher Triche (42/89)(+7/+7)(92 vol.)
-- Everything went up, he now shows max potential in everything relevant LB attribute except run defense and strip ball
3-05: LG-##77 Don Bryant (48/88)(+5/+1)(84 vol.)
-- Pass blocking probably won't max out, his run blocking improved a bit though
My other 2 rookies were both Free Agent signings, they aren't very good but will probably make the final 53

Entire 53-Man Roster: Including rookies
1 Player : -3
7 Players: -2
16 Players: -1
16 Players: 0
9 Players: +1
1 Player: +2
1 Player: +3
1 Player +4
1 Player +7

Coaches:
HC: 96
OC: 95
DC: 93
QB: 84
RB: 79
OL: 83
WR: 73
TE: 75
DL: 85
LB: 79
DB: 76
K/P: 83

Oldest Coach: 46
Oldest Position Coach: 39
