    Big Mistakes

    I made this forum to talk about the doumbest decisions or accidents you ever made. Once I accidently made Jack English inactive. Before I delegated making players inactive I would sort the list by lowest overall and the pick the lowest guys there. But once I sorted it by highest Pot accidently but didn't noticed until after I saved before the start of the game. I won the game barely with backup QB Matt Ryan. Luckily this had no long term effects.

    Been playing for two days, biggest mistake so far was not saving and reloading in the middle of a draft when I heard the music shut off.

      Yeah well everybody makes the stupidist mistakes when they start playing. Remember that you shouldent save ur careers on the default file name of quicksave, go to the pause menu, save and name it something else and then when u quicksave it will save to that new file. That way if u start a second career it won't let u come up with a new filename off the bat until u save over the existing quicksave file and then u can name it something else. If u just use the default quicksave name u can't start a new career without accidentially deleting the old one.

        Not playing my game in Week 17 because I was busy setting the DC. Lost and was booted from the playoffs.

          Picking Aric Arden over Freddy Bates...

          At least not seeing potentials makes it a bit harder...

            The phone rang when i was playing a playoff game agiasnt the packers. I was the bears and Gary Hammermill was coaching the Packers. I paused my game and when i went back to playing the game i thought it was 4th down instead of 3rd down so i punted the ball. I still won the game, but the early punt didn't help.

                  Haha I used to do that a lot. I remember I had a Bucs' career where I traded away all of my draft picks for the next draft and I was only $1 million over the cap.

                    Signing Ellis Hobbs over Nnamdi Asomugha to save money...Nnamdi would've cost about 3 million more.

                      Trading down and drafting Mendenhall instead of drafting McFadden. I might have saved huge amount of money, and aquired an extra first round pick next draft, but Mendenhall is a fumbling machine! I have lost count on how many close games he has made me lose. Might even use Xavier Omon instead.

                        i did it again for this past draft even tho i think it was kind of worth it since i finally found a replacement for ed reed (been trying to find one since i took over the ravens) i traded up to get the 11th pick and still managed to keep the 31st but next year i only have to 6 rounders.
