Do you have points in the skills prior to Cover Up? It's a tree. You don't have to be a certain level, but you have to start from the left and work your way to the right.

You have to have at least 1 point in a box to be able to put 2 in the next.

I have 1 point in Quick Cut, which is just prior to Cover Up.

Tree looks like 2->3->1->1->1, Cover Up is the fourth option.

So, I have 1 point in the skill prior to Cover Up. Since the skill before that has 3 points, does that mean that I have to put more 2 points into Quick Cut to be able to Cover Up?

I suppose I should just read the documentation instead of spamming the forum.

Barnsie - If you have the flex points to spare it would really help if you boosted your DE Red Sneed. When you sign up you get free flex points to start with and I've got you in as a backup but you're going to get some snaps today most likely because if you boost the max amount you'll be better than a CPU player for sure.

Also at positions where the starters and backups are within 1-2 levels of each other expect to see your guys splitting snaps down the line. Rather than waiting for stamina to hit 35 and the stat drop that comes with that (presumably) I'm splitting snaps down the middle at certain places just so we can have the freshest guy possible.

I've also made some other changes. d('_'d)

Quick note for the GMs - We're at 48k in available cash right now so we should hold off on contracts until at least after this game. Then we've got 2 away games so we'll have no cash at all. I'll probably address this by just canceling one of our construction projects but if we don't make the playoffs we'll be in a tough place suddenly.

I was wondering about our prices. Are they still at the 'expected' amount? Can't we boost those to make more money per game?

Crap. I was hoping to get a bonus to get my level 16 equipment upgrades for these next few tough games and the playoffs. Well, whenever we have the $ don't forget about the big guys toiling in the trenches!

 

[Barnsie]

I boosted quite a bit. I'm ready to see Big Red in action!!

I've read some threads on various boards about amenitity pricing but I don't know how to rig it so we make more without losing a lot of fan loyalty. If we make the playoffs we'll get around $500k a game but if we lose fan loyalty does that change that? I'd hate to lose $100k in the playoffs to get an extra $12k right now.

Also to amend what I said forget everything I said about contracts. If you need a contract to buy equipment for today's game let us know I'm going to cancel one of our construction projects. Either we'll be able to schedule it at the end of the season or we won't but I want this win today!

Email myself or one of the gms in game. I'm gonna be gone while the game is getting played, leaving to run some errands in 20 mins but if you can buy some better equipment for tonight then by all means message us.

I'd offer you a new contract now but I don't know who your dude is.

To the Burning Pride owner and management:

There is a reason you, like us, are on top. I commend you in your achievement and hope that you, like the Bandits, experience continued success.

No matter the winner of today's game, my staff and I will be happy to shake you hands at midfield at the conclusion of today's game. We hope to see you in the playoffs.

Cheers

Let's kick them in their polite little faces, team. We'll teach them the meaning of good sportsmanship!

 

[jays52]

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!! Those sanctimonious, patronizing, douches! Ughhh, that email had Dungy written all over it. I hope we obliterate them for that. Sportsmanship is for ****ies and the french.

Did you at least reply to it with good old fassioned angst and condescension?

Will do, unfortunately it will be for the next game, I'm 20 stinking XP away from level 16 and the upgrades. So close, yet so far...

Pio Sagapolutele is my player BTW.

Fnord -
I am running my prices at about 30% higher than the "expected rate" and I am still selling out. You should be able to raise your prices for the play-offs with no penalty.

Also, there is no back-charging to ticket holders. So, if all the games are sold out, raising the prices will only affect the playoff games

Gametime is soon. GOOD LUCK DOTS!

We Won! Ten ******* Chars!

[BradyFTW!]

Goddamn, we're good.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Great win everyone! We just knocked off an undefeated team 27-14!!

But no time to rest on our laurels, our next opponent the Canberra Strike are 13-1. They have insane chemistry 90+ and their players are higher in level across several positions. We are going to need a great gameplan and execution to beat these guys!

Their defense has pitched 6 shutouts, including a 108-0 win. So this is one hell of an opponent! Any ideas on how to topple goliath here?
It looks like their best offensive players are their RBs Justin Wood and Mr. Satisfactory. Each has over 1,000 yards and 10+ TDs apiece.

[apple strudel]

They sent a nice, polite message. They started lower level players over higher level players. Are they setting teams up for the post-season?

Either way, we put an end to their winning streak, and that is awesome. Now let's go get their trophies!

 

[Stokes]

Wow, I can't believe we won handily, what a game!

 

[tobias funke]

They started lower level players over higher level players.

Look at the box score. Their highest level players got the vast majority of the snaps, by a LOT. They definitely didn't tank purposely.

Tree looks like 2->3->1->1->1, Cover Up is the fourth option.

P.S. are those 1 pointers from your custom equipment? If so I would assume it is because you have to put an actual point in the preceding skill, not an equipment point.
