Thank God that's over with now. We had ONE user that can't seem to grasp how to be a civil member of our gaming community. Hopefully we don't have to hear from this coach anymore now that he can see his guidelines on a daily basis. And read thru the common sense that it includes.

I still think you should only be able to have 1 account per world period. There's too many recruits further than 1000 miles away that are recruitable by other teams. There's also the preference factor of wanting to be away from home. That could give a team another advantage. It's still an unfair advantage regardless how you look at it.

I’d go with one Account per world, period. Easily.

Nice thought

Yes, the community for this game is tremendous and one of the reasons it is so fun. Would love to keep it that way as much as possible.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

Whoa... a cubcub sighting in the wild...

I haven't seen you around in awhile man. Hopefully everything is going well.

agree - this got to be MORE of an issue with 3.0

give people notice and phase it in

I would love it! I'd love it even more if the coaches that have more, if they would self evaluate the situation, and drop the other profiles/teams voluntarily. I'm not going to get into all the details and start a riot...... just do the right thing, ya know?

Also, it's strange how THIS thread got bumped. And now we're discussing something that is irrelevant to the topic. This was originally about fluff nasty wanting the fairplay guidelines pinned

Didn't you just get busted for having multiple accounts in the same world and breaking the 1000 mile rule? Ironic.

Was waiting for this to be pointed out. Don’t really care but my earnest suggestion would be to voluntarily follow your own rule.

lol. Army has caught a lot of coaches sleeping to this point, including me (of course that was also a night where all my FB/P teams lost by double digits, all upsets, so make of that what you will). Your team is juiced to start the season. Enjoy it.

Meanwhile Wisconsin, preseason #1 and clearly one of the top 5 teams coming in to the season, is sitting at 2-5. rowle1js is a solid coach, and is doing nothing wrong except having to start a couple freshmen, as we do. Some teams get hit a little harder with the sim’s ugly stick than others because of that. Having been on both sides of this situation more than once, I can confidently say coaching ability has little to do with the difference here.

i could perhaps buy that coaching has nothing to do with it in this one case, and there are definitely rogue sims when folks start multiple freshman, but managing having to start multiple freshman, and juggling highly imperfect early season lineups, there's a ton of coaching skill there in general.

by the time you get to 7 games (7 games is actually the magic number i use more or less, for # of games that exceeds small sample size, although a smaller # is appropriate for considering rotations / fatigue), its time to be assuming your woes are self-inflicted. there's almost no chance a top 5 team is sitting 2-5 starting 2 freshman without meaningful imperfections. for me the big one that stands out is probably paquet starting, i don't see a reason for him to be starting over a better scorer option.

lastly - 'clearly one of the top 5 teams' is clearly wrong. on an individual talent basis, they are probably top 5, but with that lack of per scoring on that flex/man team there, there's just no way its a top 5 team.

Nice try gil.

I’m in conference with him, he has had multiple freshmen starting before (including last season’s Elite 8 team). Noting Paquet starting as a culprit is kind of laughable. He is the best post player on the team by attributes (excluding stamina); Brooks has better IQ, but B+ is fine, and even if you place an inordinate amount of value on that difference to cite it as a reason an excellent team is 2-5, there is 5 minutes per game difference between the two. This reach is nonsense.

The flex/per thing is a little more valid, but only a little. My overall user ratings are geared toward flex teams and weighted for the per bias to begin with, so they are taking the (slight) deficiency into account.

The correct answer is that Wisconsin has played a very difficult schedule, and has had bad sim luck (and/or bad sim juice flowing) so far. The second part will *probably* turn around. Wisconsin will likely go farther than Army this season, probably a few rounds. Unless the sim gods just decide otherwise, but like I said, coaching ability has little to do with that.
