This is half a Pro Naker vs Against Naker thread.

I'm very much a fan of the new system. Well done to those who thought of the idea!

While he does give good advice from time to time, I do find what he says to be hit and miss.


Most pieces of advice by everyone are opinions. So while you feel the advice might be a "miss", someone else might think it is a "hit". My point is that I am just offering an opinion on what I think is a good way to go and what has worked for me and allowed me to make my way to div 2. No one has to follow the advice given :)

I'd prefer the "decider" but Charles already took that

Well, unless you say something like: "in my opinion" or "do not take this as fact", many new users might actually believe what you are saying is the absolute truth. Your high number of balls may only compound the situation.

I go back to a particular example from the help forum that still bothers me:

Yeah I am just training stamina and free throws until the draft.
I just sold a trainee a few weeks ago for 1.75 million, but in this current market with all prices so cheap training isn't really worth it at the moment.


After you were challenged on this statement by an experienced user, you came back to say something along the lines of: this only applies to your team, it is just your opinion, etc. However, I did not get any of that from your initial post.

What a battle in "balls", Naker leading 68 to 40 against Paper. Lets dethrone Naker, by giving as many points as you can to Paper :D

You just have to look at Naker. Although, it is nice to see someone with so much enthusiasm.


You have to give him credit, he really works hard. A real motivation, almost craving, for balls. Nobody gets more balls then he does. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I appreciate the sentiment and really will not complain if it happens... But I would personally rather you gave the balls to BB-Edju. If anyone deserves them, it is him.

I get it... And I will add that no one is better at making stupid posts than me. If I had a dime for every time a BB or GM or experienced user has corrected me on my assumptions, I would be rich now.

Someone shouldn't have to say "in my opinion" in every post they make. I think that majority of posts are obvious as to whether someone is giving an opinion or not.

For example:
Yeah I am just training stamina and free throws until the draft.
I just sold a trainee a few weeks ago for 1.75 million, but in this current market with all prices so cheap training isn't really worth it at the moment.

I think it is quite clear that I am giving an opinion. And I am sure there would be many users that feel the same. Low transfer market prices logically means that training isn't as valuable. I'm not saying that training is useless or worthless, I'm just saying that I think training has lost a lot of value and may not be the best road to success. Do you agree?
