I rarely comment, but I'm on my 3rd season back after playing many between roughly '07-'10. So i consider myself as one of the new guys that is in limbo And I can tell you now, scouting/recruiting is the decider on if new players stick around. I reached out to a couple guys for help, and even after that I got frustrated because of the difficulty. I realize if you're gonna play a game, there's gonna be a learning curve. The most important thing for me, was help from others. I could care less about a lil down time. If you play, learn, and (the BIG one) are able to make progress, that down time becomes anticipation. It's not a big deal. I'm just excited to get to the next season.
