Mercutioh:Tonight I sit down with Dablackhole, Owner of the Oakland destruction for some candid questions.

Mercutioh:What's your secret to success?


dablackhole:Well obviously my halfbacks, but also my big and powerful offensive line. They're all very strong or really good blockers. One of them is even a 5 star talent.

Mercutioh:What makes your team so dominant in your division?

dablackhole:On defense, I pretty much know what talents I need and where to put them. I've held a top division team that was in 1st place to 7 points(I think. It was a while back, so I don't remember it very well.) For offense, I know how to run the ball, but I'm gonna try to find a way to pass the ball before people start finding a way to stop my current offense.



Mercutioh:What coaches do you admire most in the game?
dablackhole:Well I'm not very active in the forums, but I do respect croverja, you, squish, Franchize, Gurudefence, Serrie, and Karma99.



Mercutioh:How much scouting would you say you do?
dablackhole: Not very much. I just open all their matches under played matches, and see what their favorite formation is and how many rushing yards and passing yards they got. I also check their opponent's formation and stats, and compare to what I need to do to beat them.



Mercutioh:What changes are you most looking forward to?
dablackhole:This game is already as good as it is right now, but here are some of the approved suggestions I like:
2.) Description of where the play is taking place
3.) Completion percentage and Yards per completion
4.) Player comparison
10.) Training camp
11.) Special teams - new positions; kick/punt returner, gunner
12.) Archive feature for older games
19.) An option that would allow you to see your past match orders
20.) Team Stats page



Mercutioh:What advice would you have for an up and coming team?
dablackhole:First of all you should read this: http://www.grid-iron.org/index.php?page=community&subpage=viewt&t=933
You should really find out how the game works. Once you start to get a handle how the game works, start testing out different formations and players positions. Look for players with better skills than your current player and try to get him at a fair price. If you have questions, ask in the Center for Rookies forum.

Nice interview, and thank you
