Oh my god. This league is a meat grinder.

Good luck to all.....

Was just about to start this thread. Welcome to everyone. Glad I'm not in the AC West with you and FireAnty again Zorro. Good luck! Congrats on the WS title last season!

Thank you very much my friend. I wish I wasn’t here either. Lol. I just got done with two tough 7 game series with FireAnty and Knive. I was hoping not to see them again so soon.

I don't like the NC East so much...

I suppose the positive part of being part of such a well-stocked league is exposure to many high-end cards that I have not seen before. I want one of those, and one of those, and one of ....

I'm really confused by For the Horde Timi. Last season they were a juggernaut, with a roster full of perfects and diamonds. I just looked at their roster and with one exception, every player is rated 50 or below.

Is this some sort of theme team or what?

I would report it.

I just looked at their roster and I agree they are tanking this season. They do not appear to want to try to compete on a level playing field with all their 100's so they are trying to get relegated back to the lower league. Total tank job with all those iron cards now. Its just too hard for him to play against other elite teams.

A bunch of us in Discord have determined that he's selling off his high priced players on the AH, possibly having rage-quit. There's a bunch of cards that he had which are currently on the AH right now that were set at 3 hour auctions at discounted (but reasonable from a fair market) prices.

Since none of us know him, we can't confirm why he's doing this but some have hypothesized that he may be possibly trying to recoup his real dollar losses by taking the pp he gains here and transferring them to someone else via a highly overpriced auction transaction and getting reimbursed offline.

I would hope they would watch for this and immediately void any such transaction and boot the offending player.

Must be fairly recent. I played him earlier today and he had his usual gang of 100's. Just my luck, I could have used a layup or two after the meat grinder so far this season.

It must be heartbreaking to spend all that money and then find out that you might not win the World Series handily every year. What he needs is banned for breaking out this team, especially at this level.

Wait a week, and then he won't be at this level.

It might be marginally problematic to start banning people for playing valid cards in their intended way, even if they aren't the best cards.

I just feel a little sorry for the teams in the other Divisions who are trying to win a wild card spot. The West has an advantage getting to play that test team so many more time then the Central or East. I know I would feel a little upset about it. Luckily enough the other teams are not playing well in that Division but if someone gets hot and they get to play that Test team over and over well.......It could be upsetting.....

I would be more sympathetic to this unfairness if the game tried to fill leagues in a manner than increased parity rather than the randomness that it appears to use.
