It's good to see some games of importance down the stretch for a lot of teams.

On another note, I paid for my second team subscription today. Anyone else getting in on Utopian Fun?

I'm in for some Utopia goodness. Just not sure if I want to try to actually start off aiming for a Princeton tactic focused team without all the early futzing about, or try to find some other strategy that's not as utilized and see what I can pull off with it.

I'm signing up. Going to take it slow and try to train a mostly home grown team. Actually going to try something out with buying a high salary world renowned trainer but doing 2 position training because I'm actually curious to see if it's even that much slower than an advanced trainer with one position training.

Tactics wise, I'm going to try to run a Princeton team myself too while playing small ball. Run a 1-3-1 with 2 amazing centers with OD and SB.

Most likely ill have to train the OD/SB bigs myself.

I think we discussed this somewhat on the offsite some time back, but I think that the level 7 + 2 position training is a horrible inefficiency - and this, mind you, coming from a guy that did a metric shitton of two position training for the first four or five seasons or so of my BB career. But I suppose Utopia would be the ideal place (see what I did there?) to test that out.

Yea, that's one thing I'm worried about - the cost of a trainer is going to skyrocket in April. I really hope they expand the number of trainers on the market to offset it.

See, while I think it would be inefficient, we don't have any real info on how inefficient it is, if any. In my view, if you could train 6 guys to the efficiency of 95% of single position training with an advanced trainer then I think it's actually a good idea.

It really all depends on what your goal are though. For a team trying to be completely home grown it could be a good idea to get the most amount of players the most training.
