Week 3 Youth Pulls

[GoldenEagle]

Post those crazy youth pulls here.

Who will recieve the I hate you award this week?

Will it be traditional favs. such as Dataking, TargetPractice6, The Afoci and his Crawfish, or Ally?

Will it be someone like Frogman, SI, Vince, Illinifan...

Or will it be the impossible. Will it be Havok?

:( :( :( :(

[GoldenEagle]

Of course in order to first make our youth pulls, we must first get our Economic Update. So Hattrick please give us our ecnomic update.

[GoldenEagle]

Oh Havok, no hard feelings buddy. We just both know your youth pulls suck. So do mine. Its ok, we must come to that realization and RISE UP against Hattrick

[DukeRulesMAB]

You've clearly forgotten NAIWF and his *two* consecutive 17yo solids. :)

[TargetPractice6]

I've gotten two 17 yo solids this season :) Though they weren't in consectuive weeks... See? It's because he supports me. We share the good luck amongst ourselves ;)

[Havok]

yeah, it sucks to be us :(

i kinda wish HT had a more "fair" way to do youth pulls. Some guys get screwed week in and week out. Other guys get all the luck in the world.

[TonyR]

Hmmm...mabey I should become a TP supporter

[DukeRulesMAB]

Yeah, TP, but we expect you to get those guys. Us DIV/V slummers just get miffed when our fellow bums luck out. :D

[NAIWF]

I think it's pretty balanced. I got NOTHING noteworthy last year, and then 1st and 2nd week 17 yo solids this year. The best possible season of pulls and the worst possible season of pulls averages to be about two decent seasons worth :D

[GoldenEagle]

The rich get richer the poor get poorer....

We should rename Hattrick MLB

[TargetPractice6]

I've always had pretty good luck with youthies. I pulled 5 or so passable (and 2 solid) keepers when I was in IV to rescue me from debt... One of the solids started for my team until season 18.

I hate you....

But in a nice way :D

[The Afoci]

This is my sacrifice to the HT Gods in hopes of a good pull...

I love kitty…

Alone in the dark and empty cellar I sit. They have changed, but I have not. Her and her precious kitty...

In this passage, this boy is jealous of a ladies lover her kitty… Could this jealous lead to murder…

I love kitty…

I remember when she first got the cat, she stopped paying attention to me, all she did was sit and pet her precious kitty…

I could hear them talking, scheming, probably going to come down here and cut me into little tiny pieces… then they would eat me…

But I got a plan, they will never guess it!

As I snuck up the stairs towards the lock, but I bust the lock, they will never guess it!

As I bust through the door to bust the lock my knife slipped out of my hands and I yelled….KNIFE!!!!

I get to my feet and gather my knife… “Honey, what is that noise?” said the lady…

“Nothing!” “It was nothing!”

“Here kitty kitty kitty…” I said as the cat jumped into my arms… And as it did, I hit it with my knife and nearly cut of its head….

I pick up the cat and approach the lady…

“What happened to kitty…” I said as I set the cat in front of her…

As she began to cry, anger filled my body… Rage filled my body…

I grabbed the ladies hair and her teary eyes met mine…

As I slowly dragged the knife ever so gently across the flesh of her neck, a trail of blood begun to form… and it got deeper, deeper as I cut deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper… Until her head was completely cut off….

I then held it next to mine… I turn to it… I take a bite of her ear… IT WAS CRUNCHY, BUT I LIKED IT….

I then used my knife eat as much of her and the cat as I could… I grabbed a bag and a shovel and went to the cellar… The dirt floor would be my advantage…I would bury them and no one would know it but me….

Many years had passed, and no one knew of the murders…

I went on walks daily…. Happy… But one day, I saw the cat….

“NO!!” I screamed.

I then ran back to the house; down to the cellar. I dug up the floor and looked in the bag and all that was in it was bones!!!

I then looked to the top of the stairs and the cat was there purring!!!

I run up the stairs and to the kitchen and grab a knife and jab it into my chest…

As I fell to the floor… I could see the cat approaching me… He took a sip of my blood…

But as he turned away I notice a different kitty…

And then I hear a noise by the door and it was the lady picking up her kitty…

As she walked towards me, I could see the cold cruel look in her eyes… And in those of the kitty…

She bent towards me… “Pet my kitty…”

It then claw me to death… I loved kitty…

[sterlingice]

I think I'll keep up my "wait until Sunday" that I've been doing the last few weeks: it's a good superstition. I'm sure my better youth pulls have nothing to do with my now excellent youth squad and everything to do with my superstition :D

That's the great things about superstitions: it only has to work once to be valid.

SI

[RPI-Fan]

Hmm, maybe I should get superstitious.

Let's see, I was 2,000+ miles away from home for my one good youth pull...

[GoldenEagle]

I dont have the patience to wait.

[AccardoOutfit29]

I was planning to wait until Sunday to pull but like GoldenEagle I don't have the patience. :D

[GoldenEagle]

The server must be slow getting us our updates. Lets blame it on Sweeden or Canada.

Which one?

[ausonny]

Blame Canada!

[GoldenEagle]

Well, I figure we blame it on Sweden so much, why not blame it on someone else?

Canada seems the natural choice.

[GoldenEagle]

Or hey I know something even better. Lets blame it on Slashers!!!

Yea, its all Slashers fault. First he losses to Canada, then we reelect the dweeb, then he makes the server slow.

well of course you think its balanced, you got 2 of the best possible pulls back-to-back to start the season. :)

I've made 1,000 bucks off my youth squad in 18-19 pulls. I've built a pretty decent team considering i had a terrible team to start with and never made anything on my youth squad.

But there is a guy in my divison who started HT at the same time i did. He's made serveral huge mistakes!! like upgradeing his arena twice so far and its only at 10,700 seats. He just recently installed a good training program. Yet he has a better team then me now simply because he's pulled probally 3-4 passable keepers last season and a Solid PM that sold for 1,000,000 bucks 2 weeks ago.

I don't mind losing in anything. If someone outplays me or outsmarts me and i lose, Im fine with that. But when someone beats me out of shear luck it pisses me off :(

Sorry for the mini rant, im to competitive for my own good :(

[damnMikeBrown]

33 players pulled

3 solids pulled (none in the last 4 months)

[NAIWF]

That sucks, I've pulled 3 solids in the last 4 weeks :P

[Masked]

Solid players pulled = 0 :(

[terpkristin]

What on EARTH is the holdup this time? HT seems to be up and running, and it seems to THINK it started doing updates, but obviously none of us has had our economic updates yet so we can't pull......

As my fingers and eyes twitch starting to go through HT withdrawl...
~terpk

[GoldenEagle]

Hattrick hates us all....

[Vince]

Hmmm...22 youth pulls, 0 Passables, 0 Solids.

Fan-frickin-tastic.

EDIT: w00t. I got mentioned in the original post. :D

[NAIWF]

It seems we're all going to have to test the Sunday theory at this rate.

[Vince]

Seriously...clean it up, HT website :)

[McSweeny]

yeah me and julio down by the school yard

[vex]

Anyday now...

[FrogMan]

holy mother! What the heck is going on?!? You're all sitting aroung in here, HT won't allow us to do youth pulls, Canada hasn't even seen an economic update!!!

I left my computer screen at about 9 eastern, went to watch "Signs" on Movie Network, come back almost two hours later, hoping everything is fixed and I'd get my fix of Hattrick, but NO!!!

Anybody got a clue, maybe from the conferences?

Let's rebel, who is with me?

[PilotMan]

I get the sneaking suspicion that nothing is going to happen while I watch the screen and hit the refresh button. Maybe, I will go play CM for a while.

[Desnudo]

The problem is, what do you do while you're waiting for the CM week to process?

[Desnudo]

Dola,

Sorry it's off-thread, but while we wait for news on HT, what team are you running? Anyone else? I'm currently Bari. Started in Series B, up to Series A in season 2 and getting whupped non-stop.

[JHandley]

Bari can be tough sledding. I played the hell out of Bari in CM3. I've always been particular to the Italian leagues. I started an Udinese game just to get a feel for CM4 and then got hooked on the team I put together.

[Desnudo]

I'm noticing that now. I picked them because of their huge stadium. My first long game was with Forest Green in the English Conference. They had a 4000 seater that the board would never expand, even after I got to the Premier. So I went the other way. Unfortunately Bari's team that comes with the huge stadium isn't so hot. Actually, they suck.

A couple of loans and some good tactics got me to Series A, but it is tough sledding now. I'm just hoping to hang on for another season so the young players I brought in can develop enough to allow me to really compete.

[Fonzie]

From the HT site, for the record:

At around 01.00 tonight (HT-Time), the game engine was stuck. We're currently restarting it but it is heavily behond schedule and so the site will be closed for a few hours (starting 08:30) until it has caught up.

[AccardoOutfit29]

Well the site is back up and the economic updates are done. Still waiting on the youth pulls though.

Look out, tho- the economic updates are incorrect. I sense another downtime coming.

I'm tired of detailing how pathetic every one of my youth pulls has been. My excellent YS is not excellent. My solid YS was not solid. Sum total, my YS has cost me only about $12k. It is closer to $262k though, because I trained one of my pulls. Gosh, at least I have the little label of "excellnt" on my screen though. That has to be worth $262k, right?

Cool thing is, I am a forward trainer, so this guy will get some training in Friendlies. Until I can get his other stats (passing and set pieces trained. Also, with that Solid leadership. He may be a future coach.

Nasty fellow with a solid leadership spells trouble with the team spirit though...

[MacroGuru]

As long as his experience stays disastrous for a while, we are ok. I have a few other solid leaders that will be popping ahead of him, and stay ahead of him as far as experience is concerned. So he will not be the leader on the field.

If it becomes a bit of a problem, then I will sell him, and have the newbies purchase him

I know that, but for now, unless you have a popular or sympathetic guy with a better solid leadership (this is impossible to determine, but like any other skill in HT, there are high and low solid leaderships), well this dude will be a pretty good drain to your team spirit. He doesn't have to even play to be the perfect anticlown...

dola, also my first point was more about him becoming a coach. I really wouldn't want a nasty fellow with solid leadership as the coach of my squad... Teams spirit drain again...

The HT devs have confirmed that coach agreability has no impact on anything, team spirit or otherwise. You are right about the nasty-solid problem as a player though. Easy way to tell if this guy became your anti-clown is if your TS keeps going down the toilet even if you win a lot and PIC.

Edit: Looked at the player, and what's the point though? Inad scoring and wretched passing isn't so hot. You can buy someone better for cheap on the open market.

I didn't know about the coach agreeability not having any effect on a team spirit. I was sure it had a little bit of an effect. Where did you read about it. I'm curious

About the said player, that was one of my point, that he was a very possible team spirit drain as a player, even if you are a forward trainer and you keep him around a few weeks to try and boost his ratings a little to sell him back, you very well might pay with a TS in the tank...

I'm sure somebody would have been crazy enough to buy a 18yo passable playmaker, no matter what his secondaries are. Oh well...

No, that guy is a very good winger trainee, and probably a 2.5* offensive winger. Very nice pull. Passing definately affects wingers.

so how much should i list him for?

[DukeRulesMAB]

That, I don't know; the new winger training has skewed values.

[McSweeny]

well according to HAM it says his transfer market value is 45k and that seems a bit high, so i listed him for 15k to see if i can generate some kind of bidding war

Assuming that the devs are all in Sweden, I'd guess that the game engine crapped out during what was for them the middle of the night. So, if I had to guess, I'd say nothing happened 'til 8:30 HT time because the devs were all asleep.

That's what I thought too. Just one more reason to blame it all on Sweden!!! :)

So was everybody's economy update messed up? All of the income I got last week is showing as negative this week. Which needless to say, sucks. If they don't fix, I won't be happy :)

[Doug5984]

Another crap pull- in my hunt for a new starting keeper I have pulled a $0 valued keeper twice and this week a weak keeper :( another crap pull from my 'solid' youth squad

I think I'm gonna keep him, he's worth more to me on my team than he is on the transfer market.

Everything is fine in Canada, at least for my economic update...

[McSweeny]

yep everything seems alright for me too

[DukeRulesMAB]

Yep, I'm pretty sure that is US-wide, TP.

EDIT: Or at least mine is screwed up. One odd thing: My "The Club" screen recorded 2 economic updates.

[TargetPractice6]

I'm guessing they substracted the incomes from last week to get it back to 0 after the first update. Then for some reason there was another update that subtracted these values again to make them negative.

bbor, that's a pretty nice pull. He's definitely very close to solid in either playmaking or passing, or even both! :) He's got a pretty high value for a passable playmaker with only weak stamina...

[NAIWF]

My economic update was fine. My player is decent. I think I'll keep him as a backup forward for now and sneak in some defensive training when possible.

That weak stamina will hurt him as a Middie....but we'll fix that in the offseason.:)

another semi-clown. If he was 17 someone would buy him. But since he's 19 i doubt someone will. So he's fired!!!!

so much for the excellent youth squad...weak winger/weak scorer....fired.

Certainly not the earthshaking soliid I was looking for, but not bad considering he came from a passabe Youth Squad. Looking at the market, his value doesn't look too high, but I think he can actually take over starting duties as my right wing-back, so I can't complain.

[The Afoci]

I am not sure he would be a good wing-back. You would be much better IMO with a inadequate or passable defender played defensive. Winger is only a offensive skill so it isn't a ton of help on wingbacks unless you play them offensive, then that takes tons from your defensive ratings.

FWIW, I will be able to tell you the results in about an hour, as I had been playing an Inad defender at wingback until today, and he was putting up two stars.

[The Afoci]

Did you play the new guy offensive, normal or defensive?

I put him at normal, considering all of his other rankings suck. Should I have done differently?

[The Afoci]

I don't know, from what I have seen, probably offensive since it would take advantage of his by far best skill, winger. Since his defense is only poor anyway, it wouldn't be able to take much from it. Who knows, good luck though.

Thanks, I'll try playing him offensive during my friendly next week and compare the results.

meh, he put up one and a half stars, but about half my team underfperformed today (probably due to TS), so it's hard to say. I'll definitely give him another go in my friendly this week.

Excellent youth squad is paying big dividends. He put up 3 stars this match and I plan on training playmaking after I pop my backup keeper up to solid and sell his ass.

He isn't great, but he is 17 years old.

[astralhaze]

Well, he certainly needs some work on his stamina and possibly form (just judging from his value), but if you train him up to solid in scoring he could be a pretty valuable player on the transfer market.

[TargetPractice6]

Stamina doesnt effect the scoring skill. Midfielders are the only players that really need stamina.
