Thanks! We did the best we could I think. I can tell you I read well over 1000 post regarding player builds to try and maximize our teams abilities.

I got a question if you don't mind....

I have a starting guard and it's my opinion O-lne wa sour biggest weakness, we were overmatched big time in a lot of games. Should I boost him early to try an make up some of that ground or should I just be patient and let him level up and boost near the end of the season?

Boosting late means in the long term I'll gain more levels I think, but having him boosted from day one makes our o-line much better right away and should give us a better chance to compete from day 1....

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My suggestion is that if you think you'll be fighting for a playoff birth or for getting a home game in the playoffs, you should boost earlier than later so that you get a whole season of extra performace out of the boosts.

However, if you are playing catch up on talent you should wait as long as possible, even until the very end of the season, before boosting so that you are gaining more XP each night and during each game from being at a lower level.

On Santiago, for example, we made a decision to boost enough guys early in the season to both try and keep our streak going, but mostly so that we could fight for homefield advantage in the playoffs.

The downside to that plan is that it allows everyone who waits to boost to be slowly but surely catching up to us in terms of levels as the season rolls along.

Good info. Thanks. I was thinking along thoes lines That perhaps we might want to have certain players boost earlier but have others hold off as long as we can.

Thanks for the input.

That's exactly what we did at Montevideo...Havoc has given you good advice.

Nice work!

We missed the playoffs by 1 point. We lost 17-16 to the 8th place team. We had the ball on the 36 with 30 seconds left, we ran a short passing play and picked up 6 yards. It was 4th down and inches, then time just ran out. No FG try, no more plays run, nothing. I quess we didn't get it off in the 20 or so seconds we had left.

I don't think we had any timeouts left but with roughly 20 seconds left to go I thought we should have at least attempted a 45 yard FG. We probably would have missed it as it is a bit out of his range I think, but the attempt should have been made. None the less, they beat us fair and square making a nice drive late to go up by 8. They even caused us to fumble an INT on that drive. We get the TO we needed just to fumble it right back to them and they go on to score the winning TD.

You had a nice season CF - Dynasty...

Congrats...

Team fortunes can be turned around quickly in this game... Last season, we were 3-13 (I think) and almost were sent down to AAA. This season, we are rolling, in the playoffs and plan on doing some damage.

You're on the right path.

We moved up from AAA last year... and promptly ran the table. Let's just say I'm satisfied with how the season went. Good luck to all in the playoffs, look out for the Stores!

Bah, we ran the table as an expansion franchise. While walking uphill 12 miles both ways to school.

Youngsters these days.....

I definitely can't compete with that, we only had to walk 4 miles, and it was downhill both ways.
