I seriously doubt that you will rise even 2 spots off scrimmages....In fact, if scrimmages were such a big deal than why not scrimmage weak teams to get wins? I kind of understand where you're coming from with your post but they are scrimmages and I seriously doubt a team is going to fall or rise up rankings due to them.

Scrimmages can have a significant impact on team ranking if you win games against the right teams. Look at the offseason right befor Wolph took over. Our ranking moved from 66 in the final game of season 17 to 53 in the first game of season 18. During that stretch I had dropped all the 21s and targeted games against teams that were close to us in ranking and had also dropped the 21s. If they had any 21 on the team I wouldn't play them. We won almost all the games and as a result we moved up alot.

My suggestion is to always follow this approach.

I wouldn't say that I am lacking knowledge..I just didn't think this game was that stupid..If this is the case, than why not keep all the 21's. Why do teams drop 21's in the first place? If scrimmages really have as much impact as you say, than the system is screwed up. Scrimmages are for testing new tactics and new players. I might just take my name out of the hat if I have to run LI and 21's until the end of season update. This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Here is a good question.....when I was U-21 and Swoosh was NT coach...we would scrimmage...how can a game between the NT and U-21 be counted against the rankings?

The Asian Championships may be seeded but I think the consolation tournament draw is purely random.

Still I am certain he will pop this week and assuming no injuries he will be sensational OD before the first game next season and just up and up from there.


Takayoshi Kawagichi ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from prolific to sensational.


Mission accomplished. I have to admit that it is even sooner than I expected but I was very confident. Now I can do a couple of weeks of 1 on 1 to try and get his DR and HA even higher. I wonder how many other players on the team have at least 5+ profilic + skills and 86 TSP at this stage.

I notice he doesn't get the Nippon team advertisement but Shin Shidehara does. Perhaps it is not targeted widely enough? Would hate to miss out on some talent who we don't know about and doesn't get the ad.

I think Kawagichi is starting to come together and is looking good for the team, no injuries and good game shape allowing. My bad news is while I have a great trainer soon I will have to get a career extension trainer to support my NT guy Kaname Kouzuki. Big money drain right there.

25/3


Two teams will be bot in a week or 2 I think

2/1 Tokyo Celtics last seen 26/3 (maybe this week?)
2/1 Grooving last seen 29/3 (next week?)

They don't have much talent now although Celtics have 2 x 18s Sasuke Kogawa (25684217) a marginal talent and Norihiro Kamo (25684219) better but low potential, but if they survive until after the draft we could get some great free agents from them.

PS: We seem to have some really really crap players on the U21 team right now. Why?
