2 Players for the Atlanta Samuri have there attributes available to all.
Here we go
Their #1 WR
Amani Toomer
The #1 TE
Jay Novacek
Toomer has a 37 speed. Speedy Mcpickster has the same so we should be ok there.

The big difference was that our defense held them to field goals, while our offense was able to score some TD's.

Yeah, the D was huge today! Not sure why the offense sputtered so much. They did get some underneath passes on O but that's it. Too close for comfort but we owned teh 4th Qtr.
Reamstown is not THAT good...but I just looked and must have boosted like crazy as tehy are much ebtter today than yesterday. I wanted them to lose because with H2H, we're still in 2nd. BUt it's all good. I like Atl and VT too and they could easily knock them off. I am going to watch their game and see how Reamstown did it.
Btw, the link the pbp for all games is located on our glb forum.

it's kick ass that we're riding a strong winning streak, but on a personal level for my player, i'm trying to figure out the dynamics for the game.
our QB has thrown for more yards than any other QB in the league. but Jimmy Briscoe - despite being LVL 10 and the WR2 for the team, has 15 catches for 121 yards and no TDs.
any idea why this is happening?

Tree,
QB's can set primary and secondary receivers. I don't know who these are on the Indy team. The answer should probably not be posted on this thread.
Also, I believe the coaches can set the percentage of short, medium and long passes. If Briscoe is a deep threat and the coaches have the setting for short passes, there will be more passes to the TE, RB, etc and less to the outside WR.

Tree,
Doug and I were discussing that same thing. Not sure why. Maybe Little M is onto something. I know we started passing more medium after Tree and Doug started talking about the benefits to that but not a lot has changed. JTB is so damn good as our 3rd WR. Maybe the slot is the best spot (3rd WR) as he has worst cover guys? I duno. That's something for JT to look at I suppose.
Thanks JH, glad I got I finally got an INT, I can keep concentrating on my shutdown coverage. If they want to throw at me with my coverage then they better be prepared to get it knocked down or picked!!! If the other corners weren't so damn good they would have other choices--but they don't. Also we play some 4 CB sets and Sherby is doing well too. Our D is getting better and better.
Really happy to get an INT there as we were struggling and with that return, we were able to get a quick TD and get some daylight. Then others chimed in. I think we got 4 INTs on the day and some nice dives on loose balls. Quick had a nice 33 yd. scamper around the left side for a TD with some nice blocking by TD and Jaxx.

Tree, I definitely think that at least part of it is that the #3 WR gets the better matchups against "non-starting" CBs. Also, there's not a ton of variety in the play calls yet in this game it seems like. Finally, I've noticed on D that some games as the CB I get thrown at a lot, some games I hardly get thrown at barely at all. That could be related to the primary/secondary settings of opponents. I believe that if we don't force the primary/secondary, however, that the QB has a higher completion percentage (since he's just looking for the open man rather than forcing it to a certain guy).
In the end, think of it this way... you're still getting your reps, and developing your player... and you "stealthily" aren't showing up on the stats sheet. Big game comes against Chesapeake and they try and double-team our other guys, well, then it becomes time for the Briscoe Show. :)

re 367
I have been going through the play-by-plays alot more and I agree. The simulator they have is good, but still leaves a lot to be desired. The play calls seem to be pretty redundant and I reckon that is something stands out even more due to our depth (i.e. backups aren't getting stats)
...the nature of the beast is that we should be focused on plays and I think our coaches are doing a great job adjusting factors on a weekly basis to maximize our XP.

as an fyi, the team in first has 6+ million in reserves. is that possible? or due to a loan?

I've seen a 120-0 type score. It was in one of the threads about cheaters, showed how a team started 0-2, then traded people from 3 teams to them and cash and all the sudden they were blowing out the next 6 teams by 60+.

Astade.
6+ mil is not all that much for a 2nd year team.
You can only borrow 1.5 mil.
I doubt they would have a loan if they had the funds to pay it off.
Typically a team will use all available cash to buy new construction during the off season and then have tons of cash from ticket sales the first day.
Team Berzerk had 2.0 million in ticket revenue the first day.
I anticipate that amount to be 4-5 million the first day of season 2.

GO:
We signed a TE that is the same level but built more for the passing game that we want to run.
To be honest I can tell who is who with out a scorecard.
The team you were traded to will give you more playing time as you will be easily the #2 instead of maybe sharing time at the #2 with team Berzerk.
If it is any consolation it was a straight cash deal and you are worth 75K.

here's a TEAM having huge blow out games:
83-0, 90-0, 96-0, 106-3
check out the stats for that teams HB. keeping in mind those are numbers through half a season, not a full season.
from what i understand, that team is built on speed. from what i've been told, ALL of his players on Offense have at least 60 speed, excluding the line.
His Defensive players also have 60 speed, with the exception of the DT's.

Our kicking is now rated a 42. (Does it bother anyone else that ratings only increase by 3? I wish it would go by single digits) But even with our newfound rating our idiot kicker, who got liquored up in Canada, goes and misses a PAT.

I sure thought it did. Watching the pbp without knowing the score really makes it interesting. The first half was a really close, but depth prevailed late in the second quarter and through the second half.

RSF:
As I was trying to post in 381 I dont always know who is and isnt a Guru member.
Many times the GLB name does not match any of the names I am familiar with.
RGB Berzerk is not a "Guru" team.
The Guru team is Indy Gurupies.
We have Guru members on Berzerk and there is an affiliation with Guru.
However, to compete we needed to bring in outside players who are not Guru members.
It isnt that Berzerk needs Guru members to make more players for the team it is that the team needs better players.
I agree with you that if we need to deal a Guru member that they should be informed beforehand.
But as I said in this case I didnt know it was a Guru member.

Punk:
We have to win games in order to sell tickets.
Also It has to be a stand alone team and not a farm team otherwise both teams could be seized by the league for colluding/gutting to make one team better at the expense of the other.
Obviously it will be difficult for Berzerk to be a playoff contender due to the fact that we dont ask players to boost.
However, we cant be viable as a team if we go 1-15 every season.
We have already lost all our High and Med fan support and the low income fan suppoert is down to 25.
We have offered Guru players more playing time than they would have recieved if they had placed their team on a random team somewhere.

Punk:
When we started Berzerk there were rules we were not aware of.
We cannot be a "farm/feeder team" to the Guru team or we run the risk of having both teams seized or penalized.
We will remain a "friendly trading partner" with Indy but we have to remain within the rules set out by GLB.
Also we need to have something to offer Indy if we are to ever help them.
This more than likely means we wont be able to help in the short term but possibly in future seasons.
We wont be around in future seasons if we dont make an effort to improve the team and wins some games.

<--genuinely confused about the actual impact of a value within a statistic category. I have a Lvl 8 CB on another squad....2nd on the team in tackles with 37. Leads in INTs with 3, leads in Passes Defended with 20. Yet his TACKLING, is a meager 14.81. How does such a LOW skill value, turn in such performances, week after week after week? 3 tackles this past week on running plays, for 2 yds or less and one was for a loss.
Further, it seems as though a value in CARRY does not equate in skill to that same value in CATCHING. IOW, an RB with a CARRY of XX will probably be better at running the ball and holding onto it, than a WR with that same value in CATCHING, would be AT catching the ball. At least, thats my perception from a quick glance at dropped passes with CATCH of XX compared to production by an RB with that same approx CARRY value.

The Indianapolis Gurupies is the "gurupie" team.
Wey is also a gurupie and has his own team. Some gurupies play on his team.
Even though some agents have players on both teams, we are in no way affiliated with each other. The only reason there would be a trade was because we talk to each other enough that we might identify needs that would help both teams.
Sarge, it doesn't take a lot to tackle low level players. As players level or get stronger or are able to bust tackles, then you will need to improve your CB's tackling and strength as I understand things.
We have a couple non gurupies interested in joining our team. They are key positions so we are thinking about it, but we really want to keep our team all gurupies if we can. We got a backup QB non-gurupie as a throw in but he will rarely play and will likely not be re-signed after the season. As most know, we are trying to represent this site and make us a winning team. We are tied for first now and still trying to improve. There are guys who are putting a lot of hours into this to try to help accomplish those goals.

re 395
I had a game awhile back where I ended up with no stats at all. But I watched the game and my guy had the WR blanketed the entire game. Speedy does that a lot too--as does Shutdown. Just because you have lower stats doesn't mean you aren't helping the team. Our first game Shutdown had big stats but that was because he was playing back and they threw underneath him all game. While he had nice stats, it wasn't helping the team as much.
It would really help if they had a help or rules page as their FAQ is inadequate. Finding info buried in hundred of threads and posts is pretty difficult but I have learned a lot in going through them.

Yes the players will be gone after that date passes without extending. This was starting to come into affect with trades now that we're pushing into the middle of the 2nd season. Some owners are trading a guy who's up tomorrow right now so they get the players for them and then the one they are sending is a FA by the time the trade is made.

Re: 395... I honestly wouldn't use stats as that much of a gauge of your player's performance. Or at least I'd look at them selectively. For a CB high tackles could be good (you're getting in on running plays to the outside, etc.) or bad (you're giving up a lot of completions and THEN making the tackle). Even PD isn't that great of a stat, because you can get a PD and still allow a completion. And the real question is your PD-to-completion-allowed ratio, doesn't matter if you get 10 PDs in a game but give up 10 completions, etc. And good coverage can also just force incompletes because the QB has nowhere to go... that's another one that doesn't show up in the stats. It's kinda the same thing between real-life and fantasy football... the best CBs are worthless in fantasy. Now, if you're looking for tackles from a linebacker, that might be a bit of a better/more accurate measure... as well as the tackle-to-missed-tackle ratio, etc.
