GL Clogs.

Eugene Register-Guard looks like they will be a challenge depending on if they feel like beating you anyway.

What year is it? Where am I?

Clearly as a GM, it would be morally wrong for you to take advantage of a team (namely my team) that suddenly doesn't even know what point of the season it is, or where/what day of the week cup games are played. Think of the scandal. So in the words of Uncle Jesse, "have mercy!"

my next game will be played against a nursing home squad, which might not tire out our starters like playing a young, vibrant squad might.

Don't be so sure. It's been said that "nursing home squad" is the new 60. And youngsters like Jelme have been tired out by many a sexagenarian. Keep in mind that everyone dressed up in their basketball costume is ambulatory, and they play Dirrty, if you know what I mean. (So, you'd be risking your star players' health *and* hearing.)

your Nursing Home Squad, with their walkers and adjustable beds, can clog up the middle and make a muddle of any inside game, but Hrudey's squad thrives on the outside, where the NHS never goes.

A bot almost outscored Clogs in our league.

Nice win shikago. Although a win under the circumstances was probably not in question.

I feel like my team is better than its record. I just can't win!

And if I relegate - I'll have to say goodbye to all my favorite homegrown players!

I decided to treat this like a playoff game but shiky spice and I have weird playoff history.

I was wondering if anyone uses coach parrot for training?

I use it for training and i have ran out between 20 to 30 different training plans for my team this year.

well, i got this guy named Daniel Carniça 20 who has 15 handling.

I ran out a training plan for him on coach parrot that got his handling up to 18 when he is 22 years old.

Then i switched to 1 position passing and he went from 4 to 5 to 7 and jumped 6 and and he comes up once a week until he reaches 10. - At point it takes him 2 weeks to come up 1 passing.

2 position training he comes up once a week until he reaches 9 and than it takes 2 weeks to bring him up 1.

I find coach parrot to be pretty accurate for the most part based on my experience. (4 or 5 seasons using it for training)

I have read some of the articles at the the USA off site that states that handling has a impact of bring up passing.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience doing this.

i am still getting 2 weeks 1 pop on passing on my 26 old HOF 7'0 center who currently has 9 passing, his handling is a bit higher but not much

i checked on a 7 footer on the transfer list a couple months ago with high handling who came up pretty fast on passing also.

I guess if your handling is high enough than height does not become a huge factor.

Passing isn't affected by height like OD and especially JR. I bought these two guys for pretty cheap a number of seasons ago. Their builds as rookies were very similar so they trained well together. Both had pitiful passing. Most of their first season was one on one forwards to build handling. Then OD and JR since those two are linked. So then as a 20 yo and a 21 year old with only a level four trainer they went from pitiful passing to proficient in seven weeks.

They aren't amazing trainees/builds but they are maximizing a lower potential for sure. They also weren't amazing trainees as rookies but by utilizing elastic effects and having similar builds I was able to slingshot them into pretty decent guards. To me, a perfect trainee starts with high OD and JR. Those are the pain skills. Passing can be atrocious for all I care. You have to quantify skills in weeks to pop. A 6/7/7/5/5/2 trainee is better than 6/5/5/5/5/7. You save a few weeks in training on the back end and possibly more by immediate dividends from elastic links.
