Maybe you could do it FBCB-like and allow teams to pick up to three key players for the offense to focus on.

path12 · 10-25-2007, 04:31 PM

The Aurora Borealises have joined the Dark Jedi Conference. My point guard is 5'3" and 213 pounds. I do not have high hopes.

Coffee Warlord · 10-25-2007, 04:40 PM

Don't worry, you're playing one of my coworkers. Easy win.

Coffee Warlord · 10-26-2007, 11:41 AM

Heh.

Well, enjoy. Ya'll just got double the training this week, as I fucked up and accidentally ran it again while I was making a change.

wade moore · 10-26-2007, 11:45 AM

Nice

Anthony · 10-26-2007, 11:54 AM

why did you do this to the Violators? do you understand THE FUCKING BEAST YOU JUST UNLEASHED?

piss. doom. fury. loud noises. this is what will get dropped on the court. double the training??? unstoppable.

lordscarlet · 10-26-2007, 12:49 PM

except that a bunch of my players' readiness has dropped to useless.. How do you increase those levels?

Not having them train... so yeah, I noticed a bunch of my guys weren't useless this morning but now they are. It's ok for me though, since my team isn't great anyway.

That's what I thought -- and that's what I was figuring I would have to do in the next training session. ugh.

My team is great, so this is trouble.

TargetPractice6 · 10-26-2007, 03:12 PM

I think it's a product of two of three training updates not including any games. Most of my guys dropped in gameday status in week 1, but almost everyone bounced back last night only to be mostly negated today.

Tasan · 10-26-2007, 03:41 PM

ooo lookout! My team is practically all ready for primetime, since I was giving about half the team the week off. Those boys should be ready to kill someone now!

BishopMVP · 10-28-2007, 06:38 PM

Is the clock an hour slower than it should be? I thought the games should be running by now.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2007, 06:41 PM

Yeah, it is running an hour slow for me as well.

BishopMVP · 10-28-2007, 07:21 PM

Games running now. Up 19-12 early, new Low Post offense working well so far.

Mr. Snappy · 10-28-2007, 07:58 PM

Another blowout win for my #4 AMI Gilded Howitzers. The Yellowstone Catamounts lost by seven touchdowns.

MikeVic · 10-28-2007, 09:05 PM

Whoo!! Win #1!!

Coffee Warlord · 10-28-2007, 09:11 PM

Ah. I never patched this server for the daylight savings switch. That'd explain that.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2007, 09:25 PM

A tough loss for us. We dominated in the 1st half, but we faded down the stretch. I guess it is time to stop trying to play my star PF and C for a full 40 minutes a game

Coffee Warlord · 10-28-2007, 09:38 PM

Palm Springs came up huge in an 87-58 victory.

3-0. Rock. On.

Tasan · 10-28-2007, 10:36 PM

Ugh, disappointing loss tonight to Clemson. Prolly had something to do with my PF out due to grades. Thanks CW for that double training! ;- )

Groundhog · 10-28-2007, 11:22 PM

Just signed up... Northwestern State Demons.

wade moore · 10-29-2007, 04:15 AM

A good win for the Scholars to move to 2-1. My Senior C is dominating and leading the conference in scoring, but it is clear that we slip pretty big when he's not on the court.

CU Tiger · 10-29-2007, 04:54 AM

FINALLY A "W"....

ok I gotta actually spend some time on this
as I am not sure whats happening

lordscarlet · 10-29-2007, 09:01 AM

CRAP

I thought rankings were sun and the next game mon.

rjolley · 10-29-2007, 09:38 AM

Dropped to 1-2 after a disappointing loss. Not sure what to do with this team. The defense is consistent, but the offense either goes off for 88 or can't find the bottom of the basket.

vex · 10-29-2007, 10:10 AM

This recruit was ecstatic about our school from the moment we spoke. He is very interested, and we have a very good chance for him to accept our scholarship offer next week.

This recruit said the same thing to me.

Tease.

Coffee Warlord · 10-29-2007, 10:34 AM

Current Opinion: favorable

He likes us. He really really likes us.

vex · 10-29-2007, 10:35 AM

Bullshit.

lordscarlet · 10-29-2007, 12:19 PM

I wonder how much the double run of training to drop my guys to useless and unprepared effected me..

lordscarlet · 10-29-2007, 12:22 PM

Dola: "crap" yet again. Recruiting ran this morning?! I need to get on the ball. I still haven't set up but one recruit.

Was it Randy Dexter...

Coffee Warlord · 10-29-2007, 12:53 PM

He's mine, dammit! MINE!

vex · 10-29-2007, 12:55 PM

Randy Dexter is destined to be the Jimmy Clausen of TBB.

rjolley · 10-29-2007, 01:23 PM

lordscarlet, that's perfect strategy. Recruit one player lightly and throw the season so that you're destined to get the #1 pick.

Brilliant!

Mr. Wednesday · 10-29-2007, 01:52 PM

Hmm. No movement from the guy who is "very interested" from last week. A distinct lack of interest from the new top targets, which is rather disappointing.

Shhh... people might catch on!

Coffee Warlord · 10-29-2007, 06:07 PM

People are gonna start thinking I'm cheating if I keep winning and get Randy, I think.

vex · 10-29-2007, 07:41 PM

Yeah, you'd better just remove him from your list to avoid that. Well, you and everyone else.

illinifan999 · 10-29-2007, 07:55 PM

I don't see what the big deal about this Randy Dexter guy..he's only got potentially decent speed.

...but nah.

wade moore · 10-30-2007, 04:12 AM

I'm still pretty worried that I'm not targetting any superstars, but we'll see how it works out...

BishopMVP · 10-31-2007, 05:37 PM

GDI taking on #3 KCKU Analrapists tonight... contrast of styles as KCKU is perimeter-based and I rely on my post players.

And Randy Dexter said something about being "Worshipful", and "is only leading on the other teams to get them to waste their time" or something. I didn't really read too closely before I deleted it. Guess I should offer him a scholarship.

korme · 10-31-2007, 05:57 PM
