if you have new guys (so low team chem) they can loose up to 20% of there skills just from that, add to that consistency, BPOS being low, and just no having people playing in there natural positions yet etc, and it can be hard.... also depends what sorts of tactics you set.... and then there is the luck factor....

Part of setting a lineup is making sure guys are in the right spots. You had an Offensive Linemen playing Quarterback so that was the problem.

If you want to change guys positions make sure to do it during friendlies when you don't care if you win or not or make sure to only switch a couple players instead of most of the team all at the same time.

I don't really care that they beat me, I was just pointing it out, but it just shows how bad I can be at this game.

Rebuilding your team is hard. with the extent of how much your rebuilding, it will go through some major growing pains. but if you do it right, it will pay off with big divides in the future.

Tommy is exactly right! I rebuilt some parts of my team last season and it cost me my promotion! This season I'm unbeaten in league games thou so I hope it'll pay off now and continue to do so throughout the next seasons.

people really underestime the -20% skills hit that you take playing new guys.... until that team chemistry gets high they really can be a liability, even against bots... i have also had BIG rebuilds (i have no players on the squad from when i started the team lol.... and only 2 youth team players from the start of last season...)

its all about the combination of low skills (with young players) lack of team chemistry, and lack of BPOS / player playing out of position... remember that bot players play at 75%.... you can end up below that with new out of position players, and if your whole team is being re jigged its tough ....

It's actually a 30% loss with zero team chemistry.. Lol, and trust me, I'm rebuilding currently..it's not fun..

lol... yep your totally right, there are 20 'points' of team chem, each one is worth 1.5 %... my bad...
