It's been YEARS since I've played GD and I wanted to give it a shot because it's not blocked at my job. The last time I played, it was in the Bryant world with Middlebury. A bunch of friends and I all went in together but after a few seasons they all dropped out and it wasn't as fun. I did a descent job building that school up, but eventually I got bored playing with strangers, so I didn't renew my seasons.
I did some research and wanted to play in a world that was active. Even though I wanted to go back to Middlebury, the allure of playing in a world that is active made me want to play here. I decided to rebuild Maryville because I wanted a school that is located more southern so I might have an easier time with recruiting until my vision opens up.
When I last played, the game was a run and pound it out game. You recruited the best OL and RBs to run on offense and the best DL and LBs to stop the other team from running. I've read that it's changed a lot and GD is more of a balanced game, so I'm hoping to experience some of that.
I'll try to post some updates and hopefully I can get some feedback from some more experience coaches because it's like starting all over again. My current roster looks pretty bare due to a lot of Sim recruiting. I'm not sure which recruiting tool to use or if there are any that still can be used. I made a makeshift excel sheet to help me gauge the recruits using rating I found on Guess.
Wish me luck and I'll take any advice if you got any....
