1) I like have a trusted team, let’s say 3-4 strong, that can help with scouting or player interaction. Being able to call every promising u21 player up to see starting skills and progress will be my job. Discord makes it easy to connect with a lot of managers as well. I like specialty builds for players that otherwise wouldn’t have a chance at u21. A true SG with JS JR that has next to no secondary skills. An elite D and passing big. High passing but no shooting skills. Those are fun builds for any player that would be nice to have in the pipeline in case we need them.
2) See above. I was just in awe of the big Italy had two seasons ago that destroyed us in the finals. No IS, lots of ID, SB, and passing, with high passing and JS. Having players like that who could step up has won other countries championships. Our « cookie cutter » builds are elite. We might be the best in the world at those. We should have those continue to be the ideal build for most players. But this game is all about the little variances that certain builds can offer, and supplement.
I like USA managers just because they are easier to reach and smack on the backside of the head when they screw up GS. Really discord users most of all. If there is a foreign owned player, I’ll go to the previous seasons and see what kind of minutes that player has. A good history would not eliminate any player. A fantastic player with a bad history will get a nice google translate message, pleading for better minutes. But two equal players, one American owned and one foreign owned? The American manager is getting their guy called up.
3) I love everything GForce has done the last 6 seasons with the community and scouting. Some of his losses were not his fault. Taking continental competition more serious? Treat that Semi like it’s Italy or Spain! That’s about my only big complaint.
