موضوع: I.1

Overall, it seems that the sports academies have been relatively productive, at least as far as producing players sufficient to start and keep the team competitive.

To me it hasn't really. I had to buy some players to place in the starting line until i got some decent players.

Pretty much just got a starting quality goalie. Also until recently I was still playing 3 18+ players. Now I play 2 of them.

Corona, for example, was luck to get "several" great pulls that turned into great cash.

Team USA has 2 200+ and so on. Some teams have been very luck and some not so very.

While the pulls, in average, keep teams competitive for now, I cant say for the future. I didnt get any greater than 50 quality.

I think the academies have been a little mixed. For the first three weeks, my academy failed to produce any players. Since then, I've been pulling mediocre (max 2*) players, and some of them I had to sign simply because the existing players were *worse*. Nonetheless, I'm making due with what I've got, and hopefully things will change for the better.

correction: there's one player who was a 2-1/2*, and he's currently my best non-foreign player.

Had my first pick out of my new L6 academy yesterday. 123 OR, 1 star. My worst pull to date.

I had two "bad" pulls both on OR and AQ the 2 weeks since I upgraded to L6. However, my goalies had the attributes at the right place and I finally upgraded my goalie to a "quality" starter.

With y 3rd pull since L6, I hope I can get TWO top Or and AQ players!! Well, Id be damn happy if i get just one since I have not pulled any player with AQ higher than 50 so far.

I finally got a 200+ player. AQ isn't great but look the quality is at where it matters.

damn, better than Lloyd Faulk
I was hoping other teams would not be luck this week so id have a break ...

this is absolutely ridiculous, it's impossible to compete without pulling any decent 15 year old

Love it. Just what i need. Got 5/6 universal goalie with OR 210. Lucius Donaldson AQ unscouted 93%.

Somehow, I'm *just* managing to do well with a below-than-average-mediocre squad, although given my recent pulls, it's not likely to stay that way...

19 goals out of 28 shots (more than half the goals and shots) in his debut.

right before half season my team was 5 points behind 8th place. With only a couple of games left before the end of 3rd quarter of the season, my team managed to be 5 points ahead of 8th. That is 10 points!

Inter Melon is also 10 points behind 1st place, 5 from 2nd and only 1 from 3rd. I am finally liking my chances to make the playoffs and even finish among top 3.

I've somehow managed to hold onto second. I'm catching up to Team USA, but my team seems destined to be number 2. It helps that my three backs have a combined OR of 601 though.
