    My argument seems to be outrageous, but I truly believe that even if a player were to come along and be 100x better than me, he would be unable to win with a team like your GDL16 team or my GDL14 team against a well-built CB checking team.

    It's just like how I would be unable to win GENS-C with a team full of 25OVR players.

    However, a coach can use a team that was worse than yours in Blitz, and have no problem winning as long as he is the most skilled coach.

    what blitz team lmao

    w/e JR >>>> all of you

    It's not to take anything away from Raph or any other skilled CB checker, but what I am trying to say essentially is:

    Guys like Raph and Seth are too SKILLED for anyone to ever be able to beat them without a counter. Take a note of all the teams that eliminated them without the CB check and compare it to the teams that eliminated them with it. You NEED to have a counter to the CB check to beat them when it's enabled. The CB check is not countered by skill, but it's countered by the right combination of players. Even if you were 10x as good as Raph or Seth, you still would get your ass handed to you without an extremely good player / team. On the flip side, even if Raph/Seth were better than you, you would still have a very good shot at beating them if you could counter the CB check. See: FPB, who had Roenick and beat both Raph/Seth in 5 games but is not a better player than Raph or Seth.

    Another example: Angryjay. Clearly an inferior player to myself, but I would lose to him and the CB check 100% of the time if I used a team such as my GDL14 roster.

    Ya know I beat Raph with Benoit Hogue too right

  3. I don't think the manual goalie is especially true. I can think of a few elite guys who have very mid range goalie control that is similar or weaker than some B players'. I won't name names because there's no need to turn this into a ego shitshow but some guys rely much harder on lane control and having stifling D. A bit part of that is being able to be disciplined in the defensive zone and always try to control the same player.

    Outside of that I think a lot of guys just try to mimic better players especially in draft leagues. But you can't get an edge that way. That's why I love playing the original rom. It forces me to use guys I wouldn't otherwise ever use and I gain a new appreciation for some of this game's hidden gem.

    Every big A player has their own signature move. that helps them to separate themselves from the rest. 

  4. Overreact much? :shocked:

    Well, I can only say I'm disappointed in everyone's reaction, but sadly not surprised.

    It took 2 weeks after the 2 weeks vacation plus the 1st week before that's 5 weeks and you're still sitting on it not sure what you expected

    You might as well not be running the league cause it would make no difference. Stop taking people for granted.
