Superclass isn't a cheat code but it does give you a huge advantage in recruiting mainly due to postseason rollover. I had 37 grand to recruit with at D3 last season. That's ridiculous! I could basically get whoever I wanted and even easily knocked off a D2 human. It's a big loophole that I personally have exploited at CNU to see how well it works. Removing postseason cash will reduce the effectiveness of this but I wish they just got rid of the 100% rollover instead.

As for success, maybe I'm just getting lucky with my superclass setup at CNU but I've had a few consecutive seasons that are pretty good.

SO/JR - Sweet 16
JR/SR- Title Game
SR/FR- Final Four

I think a lot of coaches would be happy with that and maybe you're not sacrificing 3 bad seasons for 1 good season or 2 bad seasons for 2 good ones. Or maybe I've just gotten real lucky.

Oh yeah, i added a 6th item that Beta will guard against: Poaching.

Including this reduces the credibility of your whole list. A player is never "yours" until he signs with you.

The beta has fixed the eBay style poaching problem that the beta itself created. Woohoo?

#7: Too many human coaches

npb, if you don't have a core message that's not making a positive impact on the planet, then what the **** are you doing?

Seriously, what the **** are you doing?

Conversely, we could add 6b - Coaches who don't plan for a potential battle complaining about being poached.

Also, 6c, coaches who don't plan for a potential battle who poach in the last cycle, complaining when someone criticizes them for late poaching.

Sure Ppk700, you think you're really something, don't you? Reeeeeally something, big shot? [stops, looks scornfully up and down at Ppk700, who's wearing an expensive checkered suit in the 1876-style, with a canary yellow silk shirt with bolo tie underneath, with fancy sideburns and a smart looking top hat with a cane, and holding a fancy cigar]... Look at you here in HD Classic, all high class and everything with your fancy clothes and your fancy ways, talking down to me! But I remember where you came from, no better than me, penniless, drunk in the gutter, sleeping on the beach at Lake Onandaga, in the shadows of the Salt Museum and the Limp Lizard's BBQ and Catering of Liverpool... you couldn't even afford a ride to Baldwinsville...! So let me tell you something, i know where you came from, and when i tell all the others here, you'll be finished, finished i tell you...!!! So let me tell you something... you think you're really something, don't you... reeeeeeally something... well you're not!!!

Didnt realize Onondaga Lake even had a beach. Must be hidden underneath the sewage.

By the way, i realize that i started this thread, but i don't have any interest in continuing this fighting over Poaching nor 6-Player-96k-Recruiting-Seasons. There's nothing in the rules against either of these things. But you guys know where i stand.

The proponents of both of those things won't be convinced that those things suck, and (along with many others, including those who have quit in years past over them) i'm not going to be convinced in the other direction.

You're all good guys (except that ppk700 guy is a real piece of sh1t) and i enjoy playing HD, and it's all good and not worth continuing with insults, though it is fun including paraphrasing movie and old tv western quotes.
