Another reason for the rolls was to provide a counter to multiple teams. As everyone has experienced just having the advantage doesn't give you the recruit.

Sure you can scout better with two teams but what good is scouting if you don't get the player?

I was more worried about multiple teams until the rolls were introduced into the game. Introducing rolls damaged a lot of the advantages of multiple teams.

I didn't read through this entire thread. However, another reason to not allow two teams in the same world.

In one of the worlds I'm in there is someone that has two teams at d2. I played him twice in the regular season and now I have to play his alternate id in the NT. This coach has an unfair advantage now, since he knows what won't work against me. Something I, or any other coach shouldn't have to worry about simply because we didn't invest more money into more teams.

Your box scores and play-by-plays are available to all. While I don't have 2 teams, me and some other coaches I know do actually like to dig into pbp,..especially games in your past that are against teams that are similar to mine. So you should be worried about that regardless IMO.

Did Sportsbulls finally get banned from this site? He about wrecked Buckner/Feller a few years back using multiple accounts in our world.

He retired because he's a student and was refocusing his priorities heading into his senior year of high school, I believe. Also...was he here a few years back? He was only here for maybe 2 years? Late 2018 through mid-late 2020. He also made a thread about how someone was impersonating him so I'm not sure those other accounts you're referencing were his. He reported the accounts publicly.

His first season of HBD ever he made an insane amount of trades, a lot of them coming with the same person, who coincidentally was also in his first season of HBD an made the same mistake in naming their team.

It took us till the playoffs to finally convince Seble to remove him from our league, he won 46 games after the team won 76 the prior season, He went 30 straight games starting AA pitchers who were 0%, He pulled of an epic tank. After being banned from our World he found himself banned from another two worlds before he finally disappeared from HBD and showed up in Hoops.

Those were all of the trades made in a single season of Hardball Dynasty. He was the Sodas. His buddy/alter ego was the Apples.  They were all very one sided.  The Apples never played again and the franchise was basically demolished.

Okay so you're saying sports bulls is also those other guys? And he got caught cheating so seble banned him from HBD but continued to let him play HD? Huh?

This is absurd. Bulls was my main project as far as helping a coach become great at HD. He was a BRILLIANT amazing kid. Was 15 when he started HD. He did amazing things in HD that most of the community can only wish they could do. He was an amazing and fantastic coach. Honestly one of the best HD has ever seen.

Having said that, he and I even had a falling out and kinda went our separate ways. I'm adding that because I have a reason to want to be a butthead to him...... but I'd NEVER do that. Bulls never cheated. Bulls was excellent. And bulls never had multiple accounts.

He did talk to me about the problems within the game of HBD (which I know nothing about). Tried to explain to me the flaws of the game and why it has a bad foundation (I'm telling you what HE said. Not my opinion. Again, I know nothing about it). But to come on here and call bulls a HD cheater when he's not even here to defend himself is pathetic. And a flat out lie. Period.

Talk about living in your head rent free... It's been 2.5 years. But jeez dude, Seble PROVED that I only had one account. I was kicked out for tanking, admittedly. I always admitted I tanked. Didn't realize it was illegal to tank and I'm known for (as you can see in this thread) experimenting with out of the box strategies. The next season after I was told it was illegal to tank (in a different world that I was not kicked out of), I flipped all of my prospects for players and made the semis.

You're probably a grown man coming after a 17 year old studying for finals for a conspiracy theory you and your buddies made that was proved false by Seble. Buckner/Feller was my first league, and me and my friend, JamesPAn were on vacation together in the summer with nothing to do so we picked up an HBD team and traded all the time one week. I did not receive the memo (that I know now) that trading is not seen as something very utilized in HBD. I love trading in fantasy football, etc. and I sweated and ripped off some dudes who were bad without even knowing how the game worked and then made a lot of fair trades with my friend. I thought overalls were proportional to skill. I soon thereafter realized the unwritten rule of people despising doing a ton of trades especially cash trades and stuff of that sort, so I tried to make my own league that was only for people who loved trading and then gave up on that and fully committed to HD. Idk how you are still stuck on this man. Your story simply does not make sense or have evidence. And you guys got what you want because I tanked without knowing that was illegal (which was wrong of me and I take ownership for that), but this theory you're trying to run with about me colluding with multiple accounts is BS and not appreciated.

I've been extremely vocal about your last point. I enjoyed the actual game of HBD more than HD, but the HBD community ruined it for me. HD loves when people use out of the box strategies and they help coddle new coaches. HBD there's a lot of grey area and the strategies I tried to implant were not received well. You have to play by their norm (the same way everyone else does), and that's just not who I am. Like I did in HD, I'm going to try to find ways to get an edge.

Alright, back into hibernation. Miss y'all though, maybe I'll be back eventually. Just had to shut down that BS before my reputation here gets slandered. Peace!

sounds like a misunderstanding, we've had new coaches come here too and be unaware of the rules or undesirable practices. sports seemed like a pretty legit fellow IMO, i doubt there was anything malicious there. or else he grew out of it. either way i'm pretty sure he's a good dude now! the HD thing was a nothing burger, at no point was it suggested he got an advantage from anything untoward.
