I am 0-22 but I am going to finish 0-26 for sure my first season, Granted I did pick a school with 12 scholarships open and mostly have all freshmen and a couple of bad JR's who were left over from the previous season. Is it possible to turn it around and be decent next season? I will have 1 scholarship open next season because I have some crappy walk on that plays 0 mins. I am going to try to land a high WE and rating guy if I can that lives close to me and can put up points. I guess I am pretty upset but I guess it is what I expected taking on a school with 12 scholarships open and a lot of freshmen starting. I am in the NESCAC conference and my team is Amherst DIII. Has anyone had experiences with just winning no games or winning none at all and turning it around, I hope I can.

Thanks!

I'm in the same position as you currently. I am 0-10 in non conference Allen world 6. But here is the difference I am going to stick it out and hit adversity back and say bring some more!

If you look at my team throughly and not assume that I am a bad coach or anything similar. I have alot of blues and a team built around defense and work ethic I have two juniors, 3 sophomores, 5 freshman, and 1 walkon that were all sign by myself (except for the walk on). I get the top recruting cash each season well the 3 previous season and we are consistenly at the top of the confeences for rpi. I'll have some rollover cash these next two seasons.

I'll eventully want to change the structure of the team. I don't like the structure of the team, I am going to make my recod up in division 2 when I do decide to move. Which won't be anytime soon, I want to build this team to a winning program or to the max potential I can get it to.

I have reserved a team in Naismith. Who knows If I will get it. Can I unreserve a team? I want to pick a new one that this guy offered to help me pick one. I may have to contact support, I have no idea how to take back a reservation.

if you reserve a team it's yours, what team did you get. I'm unsure if you are able to unreserve a team if it's bad maybe you could send a ticket and see what you can do.

Also if you are fine with the 2x worlds, I'd recommend those especially starting out since they move faster and the seasons take less time so you can recover from mistakes quicker. Tark will be open soon and you can move in Phelan as well. However they sync up very close together so theres a period of time where you might get bored with just those 2 teams.

Naismith is also probably one of the the tougher if not toughest D3 worlds too.

I actually forgot who I picked, I am not able to see, it was a pretty good overall team with solid group of high rated Jr/SO, with like 3 scholarships open and good crop of freshmen. I put in a ticket to see If I can get it removed and pick a team with your guys help, I know I have one guy who is helping me in sitemail to pick a team.

if you don't mind you should really copy or screenshot your team page so we can see the potentials, the ratings are so low without blues everywhere its going to be really tough and just not worth it. The absolute only reasons I'd stayed is if literally everyone of your recruits were blue everywhere(which is doesn't) or you went to Amherst.

Hopefully this isn't getting you down, it is just how the game works and it is 100x better in the right situation. Fighting through maybe very rewarding when you do so but its a few months down the road and will take a lot of mental strength to get through it imo. I personally hate rebuilds, the way it's structured makes it very unfun. I'm rebuilding in Carthage with a bunch of great coaches and sometimes it just sucks.

Anyways glad to see you on the forums, always nice to see new coaches on the forums especially if they are struggling so we can help them out :-)

Is there a way you can do that so we can see the colors? That's what he was asking for.

How do I do that? It copies over as just all black.

2 options - manually change the color of the font on the table in your post, or take a screenshot, save it in paint, upload it to imgur, paste the link.
\probably other options as well, those are

My Team.

I'd definitely recommend getting a fresh start somewhere else, not much potential on the team.

Will do I guess, ya lots of red ratings, I guess your right man.

Don't listen to these guys. It is much more rewarding to build something from the ground up!

However, if your goal is to either move up divisions, or make the tournament ASAP, then it makes sense to go.

Personally, I enjoy building from the ground up, though.

not when its your first time playing the game and you had a less than stellar recruiting class, you can't learn anything about gameplanning while rebuillding because your team is so bad it doesn't matter.

rebuilding isn't even fun later on, it's never fun, personally I don't find it more rewarding at all, winning>everything. Doesn't matter how you got there, as long as you keep it going it doesn't matter.

Switching to a better school makes it more fun and you can actually learn about the game since your decisions will matter to the outcomes to the game, because right now and for the next few seasons at the absolute extreme best your looking at maybe just maybe 8-10 wins, but most likely 6ish on average imo with that talent. That's not fun, and it doesn't matter if he does eventually build it up because it's going to be at least 5 seasons until they are respectable which is not until almost October.
