#1 - London
Why? Because I have a logo and I can post on this board already. That's why!
#2-30 Everyone Else
That's right - I'm calling you out! Every one of you. We all have zero trophies in this game. None of us have won squat. You've had ample time to pick up the demo and play it. Hell, some of you may have played the game more than I have but I don't think it will matter much.
This game will be won with decisions on talent and money but those decisions will come down to how well you can coach too. This game is much deeper in terms of how you run your team. You can actually focus on purely an offensive up and down game or you can lock your opponent into a crawl. Players have zones they are hot from and the game knows that and factors things like that in.
Day 1 - no one has anything. No one has a draft order*. No excuses as to why your team sucks. Your picking 29th in Round 1? Sweet, gear up for the 2nd pick in Round 2 and shut your trap! You don't like that spot? Trade up!
You will never have the total control over the direction of a franchise as you do right now. During the first few years trades will be fast and furious. A team off to a slow start may be willing to deal their best player for a younger prospect and a couple picks.
A team off to a fast start may be willing to deal their future believing what they have is real. If it falls apart how long will they be trying to put it back together?
There are a lot of bragging rights at stake here. I am throwing down the gauntlet and kicking this place off right.
