very slow if you just have one dot ....

otherwise lower lvls are just slower , not boring .... strategy , in the lwr lvls , is just as important to win championships as in the higher levels ....

perceptive agents can see the continual improvements dots make from game to game .... it's good to see a dot learn as it plays the game ....

get some of that

It just seems like the first 2 or 3 months of playing the game are pretty darn boring, am I right?

Also, I don't want to make a separate thread for this question, so I'll ask here: did I make a big mistake by creating my player at the end of last season, since he boosted 3 levels? Would it be better to delete him and make a new one for this season, or will it be alright?

To be quite frank, at later levels in plateau you do NOTHING with your dot. Which one is the most boring? And I don't understand your question.

Making a player and doing nothing else in this game is boring. There's a lot of learning to do and there is significant demand from lazy owners for someone to take over coordination, finance, recruitment, etc.

Making a dot and watching someone else decide what plays to run is boring unless you have more invested at any level. If I'm not coordinating or building a significant number of dots, I don't watch the replays, I don't even check the scores. I do watch every game I coordinate, because I have more impact on the result than the agents building the dots (most of the time).

as stated above do not wait until a soft cap to spend SPs, that's very old info. With the advent of Advanced Player Development (APD) you gain levels just about every other day on average in your 1st season. You can't train fast enough to make up for all those lost automatic level gains (ALGs). Shoot for approximately 30 and you'll be fine to spend SPs. I do anywhere from 28 to 33, fwiw.

the only thing that really matters is the level age caps. The youngest league is capped at 0 days to 5 days, so you can get away with a player created day 35 or later. In theory, if you jumped the gun, it'd be much harder to get picked up by a team (except the desperate ones --which are actually pretty common), because the next age cap is 6 to 45 days--which means your brand new dot would be playing against dots that are a full season old (L16 to 19).

But yeah, the dot you have is exactly right as far as age and boosting goes. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4319970 now he needs some kind of picture. preferably something funny, or interesting, or with boobs

28 is way too early imo. 33-35.

for me it depends on how the game xp will fall. if it takes an extra 5 days to go from 28 to 33, then i'll probably gain 2 or 3 levels by then if i'm in the 1st season--so it's better just to cap early. later on when ALGs drop off (and you aren't getting a level every other day) you have the time to train, and it's better to take the training time.

basically if i don't have to spend more than 20 SPs to cap, i avoid punching myself in the balls. any more than that though and i screwed up the training plan.

To the OP:

You are on a DLeague team...they will ALWAYS be boring. You need to find a human team....and start learning from them as well as asking lots of questions.

perfect point made right there. although I revisited an extended plateau dot of mine the other day and realized I could get rid of a useless piece of AEQ and do some things that made the dot better. Was the most thought I put into this game in a few seasons .

truth

All there is in D-leagues is all the spam I left in the team forums.

Isn't the game boring on all levels? Seems like it to me.

p much

it must be because every team I am a part of seems to have a couple guys go inactive for a month until I have to look to replace them with another person that will quit this game a week later.
