Subject: I.1

Has anyone ever gotten a 0 out of 5 star staff/player? I don't think I have ever seen one until now, kinda curious to see just how bad his qualities are...

yes I have... as well as many 1/2 stars... they are about as awful as you can imagine

Detroit Tossers are your biggest fan for tomorrow [handball_team=15887]. Beat them good!

Completed the treble today - reg season, playoffs and NC championships.

That had never been done before in the USA. Each race was hard fought and came down to the very end.

It makes me start to wonder if this game will continue to hold my interest. I've accomplished about everything there is to do domestically, and participated in everything there is to do internationally except for managing an NT team. There's nothing left to build, really. And the player market and drafts have always been my least favorite and most inconvenient parts of the game. So now its become more about rinse and repeating player development. Meh.

Its also a nice time to reflect on the strategies I've used to get here and know that they paid off. Some disagreed at times. But the team history says it all. lol

We'll see. I'll probably take the team into season 10 and see how my interest holds up.

I hear you. Honestly, the thing that has always interested me the most about this game is the economics of it... the money/franchise management. I've never put very high priority or emphasis on "being the best" ... I've always been happy to be good enough to make good money and build a good infrastructure.

With those upgrades now taking as long as they do, I have definitely lost a lot of interest. I'm hoping to refresh it for me by going with a younger team and focusing on the youth national team, but my interest for the other sports is pretty nil (basically just keeping them out of bankruptcy). I haven't done much growth with them in several seasons.

I renewed my pro pack for another year, so I'll probably stick it out for at least that long... but I've definitely been much more casual this season than last (often only checking my team every 2-3 days rather than multiple times a day).

I've said it time and time again... these manager sims need better end game content. It'll be their downfall. New people don't get engaged because they're at such a disadvantage. Veterans lose interest and drop out when there's nothing left to do. Leaves the cupboards bare after a while.

I always wished they had a super league with levels. Make it out of the country and then work your way up there. It would help solve both issues at the same time.

Gosh Don Brinks looks terrible...

haha he was actually 1.5 stars... only sticking around while everyone else is at camp

Lol... I'm just glad I didn't accidentally throw him into my scouting queue for the youth national team.

You have 8 days to sign up to run for next season.

Do you need any help scouting, or do you have all the players that might be of interest covered at this point?

Woooops. good looking out. thanks for that. I just filled it out now.

I actually let my scouting queue drop a bit during the middle of the season (real life shit), but it's back to maxed out.

There's very few 17-18 year olds that I need to scout though. And of them, most are very very unlikely to make the team next season. I'm burning through the scouting of 15-16 year olds like butter at this point... so I'm still effectively a season ahead of where I need to be for scouting.

I appreciate the offer though! I'll definitely let you know if I need anything. And thanks again for the reminder. Would've sucked to have forgotten to apply.

Is it me or does this draft look really bad... all I've found are Bs... or maybe I just scouted the wrong guys

Kind of crazy to me that there's only 2 A players scouted in the entire U.S. at this point (as reported by divisions I.1, II.1, II.2, and II.3)

draft looks pretty bad to me, but not really much worse than past I.1 handball drafts

No As for me
