How do you guys manage your prep time? I want to try and progress a number of players but sinking all of my prep time into one guy at a time seems completely counterproductive.
It's not like I can force feed them the ball either, they are all linemen.

I'll use prep on guys that need a swift boost like my rookie Hb that needed carrying upgraded badly. Only one training on him a week though.
Then usually hit up other youth players like my 2 WR and my MLB. Usually only bother with guys that are 3 seasons experience max.
My offense (Browns) is rated in the 90s now, and my D is low 80s so I need to start devoting more to that side. My rookie MLB did get boosted over Karlos Danby in the off-season so he made some real strides. Need to develop my front now.
I threw every point I could on a weekly basis at Tyrod. I did the live play drills to try and maximize his XP and anything leftover on film study or whatever else earned XP. It adds up over time. But he's a skilled position player. I have no idea about linemen. They seem to be an afterthought to the system in place. Defensive players too. It's difficult during the season to see much of a change.

You can see what picks you have by going to the trade center
I tried putting all my points into Bortles in the first season before I knew confidence would wreck all my shit, but whatever XP I put into him I ended up losing even more between seasons anyways
and it's not like I can dig myself out of the hole with so few hours per week and so many depressed players, so I just let the computer handle that shit now

EA gonna EA. That's exactly what I feel like, whatever I do is going to get washed away in the off-season.
the first season i did confidence training. But I don't think that even at 0 confidence that it's a huge problem so I kind of stopped caring about it.
Only putting points into experience gain.
Sure a player can drop a ball or something here and there or QB lofts one off target, but by and large, it really isn't the problem. I had those same issues when my guys had high confidence so I said fuck it and moved on.
The base overall means something, sure, but how you play and just sticking with a playbook you're comfortable with is more important.
I switched to the packers playbook the last 2 weeks and my offense was greatly improved.
Cleveland had some good run schemes, but the passing plays they have that all the playbooks don't share were largely complete shit.
So, to me the bigger problem is the huge drops in the offseason. That shit is just broke.
Yup plus you never go to Giantbomb for articles. At kotaku he will get a chance to write stuff people will actually read.
I half agree there. He carved out his own role decently.
But man, kotaku. I should have guessed he wanted to get back with totillo
He also probably is getting paid more at Kotaku and has more resources to do his type of articles. I think his type of "investigating" and shit fits in better at Kotaku too.
I wish he didn't leave giantbomb though as he brought another perspective on shit, hope he still shows up for the E3 shows.

Goddammit that's hilarious.
I just have a general opinion of games journalism being a dying thing. So to go somewhere to do more or that seems weird even if he is getting paid more.
I also think kotaku is a pretty shitty site so there's that
I automate it
That's what I meant by his "investigating" but couldn't think of a way to put it, glad you could!
I'm excellent at belittling things people hold dear.

obviously it's harder to make the comparison the longer we play in franchise and the rosters/stats change, but my only reference is how I play and how the team peforms outside of franchise (a statistically worse Jags team at this point too)
I want to experience how bad the Jags are to play as
Your crappy yet unstoppable Titans team defies all logic. You were +274 in net points! 2nd best was Wellie with +170. You're making all these other shit tier franchises feel bad, Soka.

I feel like my entire team is 99 confidence after winning the superbowl. Think I got +50 to every player for winning it

I met Patrick years ago at a few E3s, he was as passionate about journalism as he was about the games industry itself. I guess it makes sense for him in that sense.
Glad I don't play you this year.
Glad I don't play you this year.
Actually this past year they've gotten a lot better. I don't visit every day or even every couple weeks, but I follow Totilo on Twitter and he'll link to a lot of interesting articles from himself and Jason and adding a guy like Patrick to that mix is going to do well for the style they've been striving for the last year.
I just have no interest in the types of things Klepek writes about. Jason does good industry stories, Klepek does what he considers human interest stuff tangentially related to the industry. I'm sure some long form gamer gate thing will be coming from him soon. Whoopiededoo
I mean, that's fine. If you are not into his type of writing, that's not a bad thing. I, on the other hand, am into the stuff he writes about. It's all about interest in the end.
Yea. I think there is a difference in how the game plays outside of franchise mode as well.
Too many variables.

It amazes me that Gamers Gate is still a topic of discussion.
