Ok, maybe I jumped into the Prior Dynasty without really knowing the game works. Can you blame me? I was excited to have the full game after trying the demo. So, that means dialing back and just coaching, not trying to GM and coach. I also move up in history to a time when I'm much more familiar with the players. The 70s were a fun time, but I don't remember how anyone played. Starting with 1999-2000, I think I might have a better idea on how to use players.
I will be head coach of the Projected Pacific Division Champion Portland Pilots.
