zorzi doesn't understand percentages. 15% means, if everything averages out, they win 15 out of 100.

zorzi doesn't understand that if he had given the guy just a little bit more of a push, the guy would have fallen out of consideration. There is a world of difference between 15% and 0%.

Spudtard doesn't understand that zorzii may have maxed out his efforts and based on prestige couldn't get anything better than 85%-15%.
Again...go back to your basement until you actually coach high DI and understand what the adults are going through here.

not to defend spudtard or whoever your talking about, but you def cannot max out 3 players that would equal 240 attention points just in those recruits, sometimes you just cant be in 3 battles or you prepare to lose them all

And that he had 5 schollies, bowed down on battles where it was stretching luck and spent the full 20/1, pr. start, minutes, good ap 40 a tick two of them at least and over 30 the one lost at 72% odds. Again, I hope they play and tell me good ideas I haven't tried. I felt really good of my strat, got unlucky with the signs by the end of period 1, he stuck on the market, maybe one cycle too long...

I believe it was 53/32/15.

But, as crazyball noted, he was in on AT LEAST 3 so I'm guessing he could have put more effort into any of them.

I'm not saying you did anything wrong. You're just whining when you know you could have lost. Or that you don't understand percentages.

I understand %. I am saying once it gets that unlucky, It the whole class that is a mess.

I wrecked a FF team by being unable to sign a PG for two consecutive seasons. I lost battles and, obviously, reached too high. You make decisions and you eat them when they're wrong. Or, in your case, you come to the forums to complain.

Sometimes people just want to vent.

How did you not get a PG for two seasons? Seems like really poor planning vs reaching too high and losing battles. You play Zone, you don't need any depth and can handle striking out by losing 3 battles in one class.

IIRC, I lost two battles, 1 to D3, 1 to D2 and lost 3 late to D1 schools that were nowhere to be seen until the very end. I was favored in both battles, around 60ish, and I didn't think any D1 could possibly be interested in the PG I was on. **** happens. I might miss again this season because I'll be away during the first few cycles of RS2. If D1s come rolling in, I'm pretty much screwed. Should I start a thread?

I'm not saying you can't complain about losing battles. I'm asking how losing a couple battles in last year's class took you down from a FF team to winning 8 games. You keep repeating this over and over about how you went to the FF and then lost battles and your team became terrible. I'm wondering how much that really had to do with it because that's a big drop off for an O/D setup that doesn't require any depth.

The strength of my FF team was my PG. I didn't do very well in replacing them. As in I didn't replace them. At all. I'm not sure how much better I can explain it.

I've been reading a lot of these off and on with a friend. Wondering if we need a warning email sent to people saying "Warning. There is a team ahead of you for this recruit. Proceed with caution and consider other options. If you continue on this course of action you are responsible for the results good or bad".

You're joking, but that is similar to what used to happen in 2.0. You'd get emails if you fell behind/went ahead on a recruit.

Actually I was thinking about the warnings they put on every thing to keep people from hurting themselves or going belly up.

I was told to think about it last like a stock market. Sometimes up. Sometimes down. Bubbles burst, and diversification is the key. Shave the top 10-30 AP off a recruit you think is in the bag and put it on a different stock (recruit) that is in low demand but nearly as good. Move it if there is a hostile takeover coming. Your bonds could become junk. Manage the lows by avoiding bankruptcy. Ride the highs.

Is that a bad way to do it? Should I be putting everything on just my first choices?

The more I read these the more confused I get about the approach to use.

So your plan was to replace your Sr PG with a Fr PG?
