2030 REG6 SIM Complete - Next SIM Thursday 08/22 - Slightly EARLIER than normal!

[Isacco]

O.J. Sheldon was +8 in his rookie camp, so I do think he is pretty great. Drafted before you took over the team, and he'll unmask slowly, but he's a 70-rated QB in reality at minimum, in my opinion.

I think it may be worth looking at the formation usage in your more pass-heavy situations, to make sure they aren't too slanted towards any one position. The 5WR formation appeared 11 times, almost all of them in the last 25 or so minutes of the game, and accounting for a good number of the familiars.

To be clear from the start of the "gameplan change" we use: 5WR (8), SB Normal (6), SB 2 TE (6), SB 3WR (3), etc. In my gameplan 5WR is not the most used formation but I think our coaching staff lose the battle against your so we had some problems with offensive playcalling.

For you is a problem of formations for me is a problem of passes not completed. If we complete the pass from the start, we can recover the disadvantage, we can return to a normal gameplan and we can end the game without familiars messages. But we were enable to do this. In the end I think my gameplan is good but, in this moment, I haven't the players to do an "heroic comeback". Simple.

I like the way you (like many others) talk about the future of players ratings, etc. Sheldon will be a 70/80/90 rating, when the man will live on Mars, but now is 57 (for my scout). So for me is good not great. And even if he is great, he pass to three 30 rating WRs when we try to recover a disadvantage. So at the end of the game we have a rookie WR like McNeil with 3 catches on 11 targets. And it's normal. I don't ask for a miracle. I always think the great players makes the results in FOF not the gameplan but I know I'm the minority on this one ...

Everytime that I played against the Bees my offense had the worst game of the season... It means something, maybe the coaches, the gameplan, or the bars are the key. But Nutah is a beast.... I had more turnovers in this yearīs game against him that any other game in the season, so itīs hard to rebound If you loss that battle

For me it's natural we lose against Phoenix and Utah so no regrets, but please don't say we have a gameplan problem ...

I donīt say that, is the factor X that put us behind those monsters!!

[Isacco]

I donīt say that ...

Sorry I refer to Nutah's post ...

I think that the head coach's Playcalling comes into play a bit when it comes to familiars.

Your coach definitely can throw the gameplan out the window at times, and whether he avoids defensive familiarity is dependent on that Playcalling ability

Judging by my team in FOFL, it's all about playcalling because with that roster I should've had about a 14-2 record every season. :)

agreed. i doubt its gameplanning. it even says if your team gets too far down the coah will abandon the GP.

and yes the coach has something to do with it and not to belabor the point i was up 28-13 midway thru the 3rd when the familiars came. Isaccos coach is better than mine IIRC but being down 2 scores makes a HUGE difference. and even then it was 1 or 2 but after i went up 35-13 it got worse just by being down so much. at that point the gameplan is out the window according to the help file it was the same in the waco game and against Kal

id definitely agree look at me having the 2 beasts at WR i had last year vs this year. big red bars help but i was just ok till i gameplanned correctly.

in fact look at Washington no disrespect to jugg but i changed my GP tried something different and eeked out a win in what should have been not that close, and jugg missed 2 fg in a 2pt loss.

as much as i dont like to quote Ben, he has said a human can hamstring a team worse than Rex im living proof. i was a pedestrian 7-5 with them both on my roster past season.


big red bars covers up SOME of being a bad gameplanner but a good gameplan can overcome superior talent and a average/bad gameplan.

In Randy Boone's 4th year he was 53/53.

It's well-known how masking works: players start out with inaccurate bars and OVR ratings and the layers of inaccuracy are peeled away over the years. The most heavily masked players are the biggest movers in camp and only volatility will stop them from getting there.

And by getting there the players aren't actually getting better or worse, they just start looking more and more like what they really are. I'm telling you Sheldon's camp since you weren't around for it, but he's a heavily masked player, and he shows at 60/60 to me, which is another good sign: the better your scout is, the more in the wrong direction he will see masked players. Your scout sees him as only 57/57.

Ok. I don't want to say you are right or wrong but, like I said, even if Sheldon is 100 rating it's impossible for him to make a comeback with the players we have in Anchorage. Good or bad gameplan. This is my opinion.

[Aston]

Oh, yeah. I don't think any team can easily come back from far back. Just telling you about Sheldon since you weren't here for his rookie camp.

He is definitely right. :) That QB was a hell of a get by Chuck.
