Not as bad as I used to be
Since I came back here I noticed my gameplay has improved a bit. I have one team with a positive record and 3 of my players could become legends, but the most important thing is that I stopped making silly mistakes. In particular, I learned how to field a decent starting setup in defense and I am not wasting rerolls on unnecessary situations. I am learning how to protect a ball carrier as well, while my Slann are teaching me not to rely 100% on bashing. This made me realize that what I once called "bad luck" was actually a total lacking of basic coaching skills, and now bad luck affects my gameplay a lot less than before. One of my biggest problems is about perfect defense: I always mess it up when I have it and I am still trying to get this sorted. Another problem are Wood Elves. I must figure out how to deal with them. Necromantic often kick my butt as well. Amazons are a pain in the ass for me.

In these days I am playing a lot, drunk and sober, and I am trying to play every TV, because I believe you can learn a lot from playing against great teams. Still a bit scared of teams like "Watchmen Philosophy" or "A well-read Pestilence", while I'm doing pretty good against Chaos Dwarves.

That was just to say I'm back and I'm trying to play good. See you on the pitch.

My take on that is: before you actually did get better (that's fact, I could see that). However by the time you improved, your morale was rock bottom, so you didn't have the patience for the game.

Now you've comeback with a fresh attitude and the improved game, you can see the benefit.

Zons are a totally broken team, don't worry about that. The whole roster needs a re-write. I will not play against them unless I am trying to fill a grid or something. I would suggest everyone do the same. They are auto win in this edition at low to mid TV unless you play against teams loaded with tackle.
Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2014-06-27 19:12:45
Garion is right, Zons are a terrible design. Since pretty much only pickers and (formerly min/maxers) play them I tend to never play them outside of league.
Posted by Badoek on 2014-06-27 19:27:12
So Garion, why do we have those damned zons in HUBBA? I say we kick them out and give maneetti a new, non-zon, team? Let me know before Thursday so I can cancel that HUBBA Bowl game. :D

OT: Good to see you're mood has improved. I think HM is right too.
Posted by harvestmouse on 2014-06-27 19:52:53
League zons are ok I think, once they settle down and as long as they have a coach that wants to play the franchise.

It's low TV and artificially leashed zon teams in a TV match making environment that are a real problem. At high TV they're a lot of fun.

Zons are great! :D

They are especially designed to remind CPOMBers that there are other skills beyond... um.. CPOMB.

Quit yer crying. Lizards are way cheesier.

Assuming you've been 'wasting' skills on tackle that is. ;)

Welcome back, Crook. I promise you that even the Watchmen get their butts kicked from time to time. I had two consecutive matchups recently where I was challenged by orc teams and they completely went to town on my players.

Hope you're enjoying playing again!

See ya on the Black Box pitch... ah... you don't play in Black Box... too bad, so sad!

that's what my wife always tells me.
