*Ravencast - Episode 2

[Raven]

I have some thoughts. Lot of them actually. It probably works if one has recently listened to the cast before reading these.

The Outlaws to my knowledge have the tiebreaker with the Cats, since we'd end with the same division record and having won both games over them.

If we did a draft where the captains of the world teams picked players, that would avoid the issues you're worried about. And create a secondary event within the larger event. Its either that or players declaring for teams themselves, and I'm not sure how well that would work.

The rookie thing in offseason could turn into rookie games where they get to play with a small mix of NSFL players. That would be cool and very much create the kind of buzz that would go with writing events and rookie participation.

The time limit on archetype swaps has been HEAVILY discussed in the HO/GM Chat this season. Expect this issue to continue to get attention. I personally don't intent to let this die.

Is it pronounced "watcher" or "wok-ter"?

You pulled a more accurate analysis on the Garden trade than pretty much anyone else has (other than Oles, but he was involved). The picks are a 3rd in s6, and 2nd in s7. And we also got a backup rb in Wright who is working back towards being active (which despite some naysaying from the South, we had an idea was possible at the time of the trade).

Arbi on the podcast. Do it! 

The kicking game issue makes no sense and we're going to be looking into that. I promise you.

Eric Kennedy is a season 3 guy. AKA SwagSloth

I think the "sim will treat us nice" issue with the Hawks revolves entirely around Blocksdale. The sim was super duper shitty to him early on. That changed and your fortunes changed with it.

I think on the running game issue that I'll back whatever findings that Timeconsumer and Hawk come up with on their testing. they do a great job on that and I know they're working on it and have worked on it.



Great show! Lots of really good insight. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts!

Then the Outlaws will most likely see a continue to their playoff streak.

I do like a captain pick style tournament. Seems like alot of work, but if Captains can be found who want to do the picking. Sounds like a fun idea.

Why not both haha, I do hope we look into something surround the rookies.

Archetype changes or riot :lol:

With Watcher being a probably germanic(esq) name, I went with a more dutch pronunciation. I'm not sure if it's the proper way to say it.

Good shit. Glad I did a good job analysing the trade hah.

We just had a few unlucky games, which in testing were very winnable by us but in the real thing just didn't go that way. Glad the sim started liking Blocksdale.

Can't wait to see results from the testing. Hopr for rb it gets better.
