My one team I have 57 minutes for players and 123 for sets. Doesn't seem to be working.

The old game needed tweaks, not a dismantling.

i tried not to complain too much before i saw a few games but this is BS..  i have -played this sim several times and  always win by 40 or more!  if talent doesnt matter anymore then why bother recruiting?  that was half the fun, battling over good recruits!

hahahaha, sorry to laugh at this but you are getting shutout by a Sim team that hasnt won more than 4 games EVER!!! Wow. Wow. Wow.

nobody else is out there with this type of online fantasy football game.   

Take this as a lesson in markets:   this is how a firm operates when it has no competition.

Exactly, and I will bet it won't work if you practice 128 for 4 seasons.  which is why the explanation in this thread makes zero sense.

Speaking of, who has D1A or 1AA Teams in Warner that does not practice formations?  I just unfortunately signed up for a season in DIII, and since my team is all SIMS, I'd be happy to play some of you in exhibition games and see how I fair.  I think I Can win.

I threw an incomplete pass today that somehow was picked off.  How can that be.  This is just not fun anymore.  I DONT gameplan now.  Why bother

What I got from that part of the story is that nobody codes in the old programming language anymore, so they had to rewrite the program in C#.  I'd guess that some of the things (like effectiveness settings) was very tough to convert, so it was just called "in the best interest in the game to remove it" and here we are.

I'd like to challenge you with both my teams. Minnesota I've run and practised formation for 8 seasons and I have UTEP in my 2nd season so I have a bunch of scrubs.

I'm curious if any worlds are currently in their exhibition season still.

Would like to see the results of a DI human vs DIII sim, just to compare.  If that doesn't generate a blowout........

Pretty sure it was incomplete because it was picked off.

Tonight.  Recruiting starts in warner.

Hit me up JIBE -DIII  Ferrum in Warner.  (First season with the team, should have all SIMAI Formation IQ and all of their bonus perks)

I'll accept Minnesota first so that game goes tonight.
