actually wasn't making up a excuse they asked or it think they were asking why have so many teams and I was telling the reason is because I have 5 credits to use which I can only become a owner and renew a season .
really cant do anything else which probably is better in that if I was able to custom my teams I would probably be more concerned about that than gameplanning.

I do try to game plan for each team.

yes 34 teams seriously and can you not call me a DUDE . thanks

I would imagine that if someone wanted to they could get more teams than I have.
also it is not like have tons of stuff to do with my time considering I don't have a job.

mainly I have enough time to play my video games , go to web sites I go to , add things to my favorites .

though I could always stop going to my web sites I go to and stop adding things to my favorites and just strictly play my video games where I would have enough time to play them all though I have enough time as it is.

only thing I do really is go grocery shopping with my dad on Thursdays , put out the garbage on Mondays and Thursdays , put out the recycling on Thursdays , get the mail/newspaper sunday thru Friday , might have to shovel snow at times .

I would say those things above are the most time consuming things I do which really some of them shouldn't take 30 minutes to do awhile the shopping thing probably is the most time consuming for probably a hour or 2.

so all told I think have enough time to game plan for each team even though people say I cant.


This is laughable. You don't try to game plan for every team at all. If that truly was the case my 75/76 DE wouldn't have recorded 7 sacks against your stacked team. If you actually managed any of these teams you would have made a transaction during the last full season!

Also, just because you can start a new league doesn't mean you must. Your logic is terribly flawed. When you play your video games all day, I assume Madden is one of them, so do you automatically keep creating connected franchises until you run out of hard drive space? No, because that is insanely stupid.

You ruin the immersion of the game by not actually playing with any of the teams. And let me get this straight, instead of working everyday and contributing to society you sit here and join umpteen teams that you don't manage and then proceed to write ridiculous suggestion threads like "blimp views"? The joy of games like this is to draft that prospect you were salivating over all season and watch him blossom into the star you always thought he'd be. You can't do that when you never check the team!!!!

Lastly I feel like you insult JDB, who by the way is the coolest guy on the **** planet, everyday when you act like he's your freaking slave. You post a million suggestion threads as if he lives to please you. And you also disrespect him when you ruin the immersion of every one of the leagues on the site he created. Ever think of it that way? Probably not. You're not "trying to make it better for the next guy" you're trying to get JDB to work for your every whim.

For the sake of this entire community, please let go of your countless teams. Take a breath of fresh air. Get a job somewhere you'll have fun working. Have fun actually managing a team for the first time. Give JDB a break. Play the game the way it's supposed to be played and trust me you'll feel the benefit of it and so will the rest of the community.

Well i guess I am in the minority on this one.

If he has that many teams thats fine as long as they are being taken care of and not being destroyed and dumped on someone else. its not creating advantages or disadvantages for anyone. I have seen a lot worse owners on this game

As far as him posting suggestions on the suggestion forum..UMMM... Isnt that what its for. If you dont like it you dont have to like it or respond to it.

Personally blasting someone because they are home all day without knowing there personal reasons kinda makes you look more like an ***. I am home all day and would love to be working but I have reasons why i cant right now so throw me in as part of judgement as useless to society.

Give him time and let him learn. Its his time not yours.

Using the example of a player having 7 sacks against his team is pretty funny. I gave up 15 sacks in a game recently on Cust 10. Does that mean I am not playing the game properly?

I get you dont like Punisher but keep your personal insults out of the game.

Awesome, Great. Your a hero to our society and your a better person than the rest of us. I bow to your greatness..lol

You have your opinions and others have theirs, thats fine. Lets just get along and play and have fun. Trust me I can be a real nice guy or a total *** at times as well (actually probably most times)..lol.

reason I haven't made trades for the most part is I always **** for the trades I do make.
all I can say is I will try to make sure your DE doesn't do that again to my team.

Not saying I should join a new league I was saying the only thing I can do around here is become a owner or renew a season because of few things.
1. I wont ever spend money to get credits
2. I probably wont get any of my friends to play this game
3. it takes at least 6 credits to custom your team , to rename a player , etc.
so all told considering the facts that I just put out there there really isn't lot of things I can do on this game.

maybe what excites me doesn't excite you to me the enjoyment I get is suggesting ideas regardless if they make into the game or not. also my enjoyment would also be having my teams that probably I have more teams that I am a owner that haven't made the playoffs make the playoffs.
nothing wrong with what you get enjoyment out of.

actually I don't think he is my slave. heck I didn't even know he is the only person that WORKS on this game if I knew I probably might have not posted as many ideas.
I disagree if someone wanted to join his website tomorrow lets say and they wanted to join EVERY league which is probably 65 leagues does that mean they disrespect JDB ?
Nope maybe they are doing it because they enjoy his game so much .

I really am not a people person where I can work with people or what not.

I have given JDB break haven't posted a idea probably for 3 days and really there is 3 days between my latest idea and the next to latest idea.

To start off your first point is invalid because he doesn't take care of all those teams. If he did I'd say "great for him, he found a hobby he enjoys thats awesome" but when that isn't the case and it takes away from the experience of everyone else there is clearly a problem.

Your second paragraph is also invalid because the suggestion box is meant for meaningful contributions to the game. If people feel the game has too many rushing touchdowns per game or think a new way to manage renegotiations is necessary that's where you post it. It's not to spam the forums whenever you think JDB should drop what he's doing and add in 3D blimp views.

I'm not personally blasting him nor am I as ***. Obviously if you've ever taken middle school world cultures you know that unemployment does not make you useless to society. I never implied it did.

Third point is invalid because I used the seven sack example for a couple reasons.
1. His team is stacked
2. My defensive end is garbage
3. One player got all those sacks for me vs. the 15 you gave up to the entire team collectively. Not a big difference, but still counts.

I'm not trying to throw personal insults at punisher, nor am I trying to get up on my high horse and make you bow to me. The thread I posted was so that punisher could read it and maybe decide to work on those things for himself and the community.

Hopefully you see it from my perspective a little more now. :)

You don't need to make trades to make transactions. Cutting players/placing people on IR and signing inactive players/changing positions are all necessities to actually managing a team and those too are transactions.

Just because you have credits doesn't mean you must spend credits. That's my point.

Nothing wrong with what gets you exited but when it starts to involve the enjoyment of others there is a problem. If someone wanted to join all 65 leagues tomorrow i'd say "more power to them" if they could handle it. The difference is you don't try to handle it, which hurts others. It also hurts JDB who spends so much of his own life woking on this game because it partially ruins what he's been working so meticulously on.

I meant the fresh air thing figuratively of course. I was trying to give you some advice. Consider what everyone else thinks. If you can't find the time to manage a team, what use is it having it? I'm not trying to be mean to you punisher, even if it comes out that way. I just meant take some time to consider how the way you play the game affects the community, that's all. Both our real world and the virtual community.

Actually as far as the sack thing i gave up 7 to one player and my team has 3 O-lineman with 99 or 100 current pass block, the other 2 have 99 or 100 potential and are in the high 80's or 90's. I have actually had another game where there were 32 sacks total between the 2 teams

To each their own on their opinions tho

There are just what they are suggestions. I dont agree with most of them either but doesnt mean he shouldnt post them. I have seen many suggestions that started off not all that great but with input developed into decent good conversations and suggestions from them so you never know what might start of as a useless suggestion might lead to.

Do you know he is unemployed or on disability? You made an assumption is all I meant. I was just being as sarcastic as you were

But hey, I never went to middle school. Tell me that wasnt an insinuating insult. Maybe it wasnt meant that way but its how my interpretation of it was ;)

I am going to drop this conversation now. I will agree to disagree

well there is only few things I can do with 5 credits which is become a owner of a team and renew .

probably if I was able to do some other things with those 5 credits then maybe I wouldn't have that many teams or maybe I would.



Do you mean to say that if you own more than one team you cannot game plan? I have only one team, so I don't really know the answer to that question. Thanks.


No you can, he is just making up some BS excuse.

34 teams seriously dude? jdavid needs to limit how many teams one owner can manage. 34 teams is over a leagues worth of teams, there is no way he has enough time to manage them which in result is damaging the leagues he is in because that team isn't getting the attention it needs.


You don't know that, some people on here have a lot of time due to their circumstances. I for one was nearly on here 24/7 when I got injured at work.
If a plan was going to be implemented to restrict the amount of teams someone can own, I would object to it.

Spot on. It seems there are people here who clearly don't like Punisher, which is fine (but sad...this is an online game). There's good natured banter and then there's trolling.
Best of luck to you Punisher, I love your enthusiasm.
