Agreed. He is not spam king by no means, undoubtedly running minimal plays from minimal formations.

Good strat, but also a self imposed cap.

To be more exact, I'm going to take the details of this game into a spreadsheet.

Maybe my eyes are fooling me when I'm reviewing log.

I had started working on something I could dump results into to get analysis of each game/opponent. Mostly just doing to try to learn, always nice to take a look under the hood and sometimes beyond just the eyeball.

GG GCG, as much as I'd like to say otherwise. Interesting to see a team run only 4 formations. Worked, kinda. At the very least though you don't really have to try and you almost won. It reminds me of GDB and how he spams the same plays.

Hopefully I get to do this again sooner rather than later.


First you insult me in my own league's forum and now you say I'm like GDB? I spam plays? I thought CJ asked us to be nice and you pull this ****? OK.

I don't understand what the issue is???

I took a quick look at the game and Greg used 23 different offensive plays and 16 defensive plays....waitwut used 26 & 18.

What's the issue? Greg only used 4 formations? I've ask everyone to stop insulting or attacking other owners....if you have an issue with a specific owner....PM HIM PLEASE.

If it has to be done at all!

I don't get the issue with formations. Most owners I know only use the Big 3 (113, 23, and 212) and might sprinkle in some 311 or 122 here and there. If anything, an owner using less formations should make it easier to game plan against defensively.

Why can't we all just get along
Do we wanna be here ten years later
Singing the same sad song
It don't have to take our last breath
To admit that we're wrong
Why can't we all just get along

He did PM me and it was actually complimentary so I was completely blindsided when I got here and read his backhanded comments. I don't get offended easily but I am actually offended about being called GDB.

He can't PM me now though, I blocked him because I have better things to do with my time than exchange pleasantries with somebody that has a stick up his *** about me.

If this turns into a whole big thing, I'll just walk away. I don't have the time or patience for this bullshit anymore.

There's literally 3 good formations lol

And with the rise of the flat zone there might only be 2 since your TE needs to be pretty good to get open against a FS who likely has OLB help. Hard to have the TE run a route to get the 1 on 1 coverage and have him beat it out of the 212

It was sideways but not intended to be an insult. You're interpreting what you want because of who and what I compared it to. I think you do it for success rate which is what I attrubute GDB spamming to be as well.

I use the term spamming maybe loosely, but that is what limiting plays in essence does. In your situation you use formation as your instead of a play. I'm not upset about it or going on s diatribe of why it is wrong, those are assertions your making. But none the less I could care less if I'm blocked.

Final edit: don't quit.

Can't we all just send memes instead of conflict?
