The Ladder 2017 - Player Cuts - Deadline is 7/6 (Sun) at 11 p.m. EST - Page 10

CU Tiger · 06-26-2014, 04:26 PM

Well signing day netted a 65 OVR Athlete that I never talked to.

Cool Enough I suppose...
Until he turned into a 77 QB with 86 speed and 82/88 TP/TA...the other ATH I had signed to be my QB o the future is now a RB.

I made about 22 moves in total. Finding new life for some aging depth guys.

Think I ahve to shed some 16 players in cut stage so that one will be tough!

Kodos · 06-27-2014, 08:51 PM

Cartman is out of town, I'm going to be, EF is going to be. Remember to do cuts in game, not on the site.

Julio Riddols · 06-28-2014, 11:27 AM

Good lord, I did not want to cut about half of the guys I just cut. Next year will probably be even harder.

gstelmack · 06-28-2014, 11:53 AM

My problem is things like "I have 5 extra WRs, and I have to cut 3 of them, but which 2 are more likely to pay off for me down the road, because they're all within 2 points of each other overall?". Or the infamous "he's only rated 68, but he has 90 speed, will that overcome the other bits?"

CU Tiger · 06-28-2014, 12:10 PM

I had to cut 16 guys...it was tougher than it should have been deciding which 60 OVRR rated guy to cut..

Kodos · 06-28-2014, 04:05 PM

I tried to cut low awareness guys. So basically my entire defense.

Eaglesfan27 · 06-29-2014, 07:00 AM

We had some really tough decisions to make especially the last 2 guys to cut, but USC is ready to advance.

MacroGuru · 06-29-2014, 10:27 AM

I will be home tomorrow guys, I should be able to do my cuts in the evening or tues am.

Kodos · 06-30-2014, 03:50 PM

What do you guys think about limiting recruiting classes to your number of seniors plus five?

gstelmack · 06-30-2014, 07:10 PM

How would you police it? I didn't make 25 scholarship offers, but the game made sure I ended up with 25 recruits.

That is exactly what I do in my solo dynasty. I'm good with whatever we decide although Greg brings up a good point.

Julio Riddols · 06-30-2014, 08:33 PM

I'm cool with it if it is doable.

CU Tiger · 06-30-2014, 09:47 PM

Two points. As someone who joined 2.5 seasons after the rest of the league my team is still far behind everyone elses. I am just now seeing my first recruiting class turn seniors.

That first class was laregly 60s rated guys with niche skill sets. As such it would put me at a pretty big disadvantage to those of you with more classes in the bag. I cut 16 guys. 5 of those were Seniors and 3 additional ones were Juniors.

Plus there is the issue of the computer adding players in the final stage that you werent chasing....

MacroGuru · 06-30-2014, 10:14 PM

My cuts are done..and I am fine with whatever, just realize, computer will sign what you don't.

I didn't realize I was at 83 players until tonight. I cut some seniors / jrs and busts..

Kodos · 06-30-2014, 10:42 PM

Okay. It was just an idea. Perhaps not a good one.

Kodos · 06-30-2014, 10:44 PM

Not sure if Cartman has done his cuts, and I'm going out of town, so we'll just put things on hold until this weekend.

chesapeake · 07-01-2014, 10:07 AM

My cuts are done.

What is the reasoning for limiting recruiting classes?

gstelmack · 07-01-2014, 10:20 AM

One reason I can see is signing pretty good players that you don't actually need, which keeps them from other teams even if you are just going to cut them.

Kodos · 07-01-2014, 12:17 PM

Greg nails my main reason for it.

Julio Riddols · 07-01-2014, 12:21 PM

It's too bad you can't just set a limit in game for user scholarships.

Eaglesfan27 · 07-04-2014, 07:51 PM

Ok. I'm out for the week. Be back Sunday. I might have some internet connectivity on the ship, but no Xbox connectivity. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

Just a heads up that I'll be out from this Saturday until the following Sunday, out camping in Big Bend National Park.

Just as an update, I think cartman is due back soon.

Kodos · 07-09-2014, 12:23 PM

Okay, everyone has finished player cuts. If you haven't already, you can download your roster from the site and start recreating it in Teambuilder.

Kodos · 07-09-2014, 12:40 PM

Actually, I've downloaded the rosters for all teams. I'm going to edit it so that the columns go in the same order they appear on Teambuilder. If people like, I can share that file when I'm done. Having them in the same order makes the entry phase easier.

CU Tiger · 07-09-2014, 06:07 PM

Please share.

I havent messed with the teambuilder stuff guess its time to start figuring it out

Eaglesfan27 · 07-13-2014, 11:57 AM

I am back home but at work starting tomorrow through this week. I'll try to get my teams done soon, but it might take a few days.

Edit: Please share the file
