Scrappers here checkin in and readin up on III.4 - I have to say, it is lame to give up before the season starts. Take a look and figure it out.
I promoted from div IV.6 and made the playoffs my first year. it was crazy. I had the same feeling - I don't stand a chance. There were two completely unbeatable teams in the division, but I still managed against teams like the Raleigh Roughriders. I didn't go up to Div II last year and complain and throw in the towel, I figure it out and competed. I could have made the playoffs with a fourth finish. However, at the end, I purposely dropped some games to get in the relegation for extra training and money.
I have passed the Magic, Goats and Illusion. No offense meant - they are very good and scary teams to face - but, don't overwhelm yourself by looking at their rosters like they are some kind of gods. This is a great game and you can figure out ways to shut guys down and light up others.
Peace out,
Bayard
