Look who's back. Back again. It's me. Can someone update me on the important changes of the last 20 seasons or so?

That’s a tough ask lol. I’ve been off and on the last 20 seasons as well.

Yooo welcome to the league! I'm also recently back after a 10 year hiatus, I've been having a blast in this league as it is quite competitive! At least 3 of us are active daily, which is pretty good!

Feel free to check out my press releases for my team I try to bring some humor into what I think can sometimes be a very silly game.

Best of luck! Feel free to message me to shoot the $h1t and discuss whatever, as I'm on here every single day. Something about looking through my roster before bed is just really relaxing to me xD

Duam, I'm curious about running these guys with no stamina no handling no passing and zero outside defense, as fast as possible where they're very likely to be forced to defend out of position. With a huge drop off of talent going to the bench. Did you try them in Look Inside with 3-2? That would at least mask their flaws.

I would have 1 start and 1 come off the bench so that way you can maintain a solid second unit when your starters get benched and your second unit isn’t getting man handled by the opposing team, run them under a zoned defense like you mentioned to conserve energy and stop weakness

Hi there! I played this game many years ago but just signed back up on a whim. It'll come back to me eventually I guess. Glad to see some activity in the league forum though.

Welcome! We are a fairly competitive league imo, but there's enough activity here to make it worthwhile! We have some really good managers and can help you get back into the swing of things if you need any help

Thanks! I'm quite happy to land in an active series, even if it means more losses in the beginning. I think most of the training stuff is slowly coming back to me as I get to grips with things. My plan is to get 5 18 year old guards and train them up, rotating training around after a few pops per skill. So I'm working on getting to 5 trainees for min bids. I realize they won't be world beaters but it should add value to the team and get things off the ground.

What I can't quite remember is what starting staff levels are advised. I bought a trainer who is advanced but now I'm wondering if that was a level too low? I'm not sure how the finances shake out at first but perhaps I was too conservative.

Also, I made a mistake in setting my manager name. I usually go by "Trepanated" but somehow wasn't paying attention or something and set it to Barts instead. Not a huge deal, but does anyone know if it's possible to get it changed?

Thanks all!

Ok, I think I have the name issue sorted, so never mind on that one!

The whole trainer thing upsets me lol, I had superior trainers for the first 4 seasons and actually worked out quite well, then to save $$ and build a “win now” team I fired the Superior, bought a solid supporting cast of players and downgraded to an Advanced trainer, while I had the advanced trainer, I only witnessed a handful of skill pops and was EXTREMELY disappointed. I fired him and I recently sold off a Cast player to purchase another star player to match with Ahmet and Terry and downgraded to the worst level
Of trainer there is lol, and oddly enough. Have seen more skill pops with this one than the advanced one
