I only started this season, so can't really proud myself on being homegrown LOL

But I will probably keep going like this for a while.

Got 3 trainees this season, patched them up a bit. I scouted OD/ID and will be training 6 guys next season 1v1FW.


Since my players are in it for the long haul, I'm training six at a time. It's actually kind of fun and infuriating at the same time.
Guys who foul out all the time? Well, they're who I'm stuck with until I can draft someone who doesn't.

My second season I had the most amazing starting C.
Led the league in: Fouls, TO's, and Blocked Shots.

Hey thanks!
Yeah, we made it to the playoffs last year, and looks like we'll be the 4th seed again this year.
Kind of by the nature of training everyone together, you develop a very balanced team, only nuanced by their starting skills and their height. Of course, by choosing training plans, you can guide their direction, which is really cool and fun.
I can beat most teams, except the elite teams in each division. My bench is nearly as strong as my starters, so I confront opposing teams with a steady attack of mediocre offense and defense throughout the game, which is enough to wear out lots of the opposition in my league.

I could see going another route, where you do single position training, and develop three mega-stars. Kind of like the Heat from years past. Best of luck with your draft!

I just got my new PC recently. I played Baldurs Gate, then NWN1/HOTU, now I'm at NWN2 MOTB. I'll probably play those other two NWN2 expansions first before moving to pillars of eternity.

I hope you didn't spend loads on your new PC!

I'm so glad they made Pillars of Eternity. So sick of the obsession with MMOs... Story lines are non-existent these days, it seems.

Sweet. Volunteering is a good way to get into what you really WANT to get into. More people should do it. Unfortunately lots of people have to put food on their tables, too.
