Oakland Out, Pittsburgh Left

Well, halfway there to giving up on this team, the division, and this league.

You spent north of 240 mil in free agents, including 3 QBs with first year salaries/bonus making up over $140 mil of that. Now it’s on everyone else in the league to trade with you to get you out from the negative salary cap mess you created or you’ll leave? Sounds about right
This isn’t Madden. Learn the game or move on. I’m glad you are here as I’d love to see as many leagues full of real ownership, but tired of seeing owners new to the game try to build a dream team, paint themselves into a corner, and leave the team a dumpster fire rather then learn what works and what doesn’t for their style of play.

You’re not even helping at all like Jacksonville said you would and you don’t help anyone. Doesn’t surprise me and why would you when this simulation always makes you and Tampa Bay seem invincible all the time that the rest of us in the division can’t ever succeed?

It’s not my fault if everyone here has to have their eyes on players that I want and then try to outbid me to the point where these greedy players have to always accept the highest offers just to fill our position needs.

No wonder owners are leaving here or half the team is not ever taken because of teams like yours and people like you being able to sign all the talent that teams like me want to sign and hogging all the talent there is by giving them the smallest offers in which somehow they are convinced to eventually sign with your team.

No one can build a dream team here with teams like you barely ever losing. You’re the reason why I put myself in this situation to begin with.

So either help me like teams like Jacksonville portray you to be or don’t even bother talking to me and continue to sign all the players that others might want and not have to resort to all these other greedy players also being eyed on by other teams.

Hi Mr. Football. I didn't mean that azyoda (or anyone else) would do the job for you. I meant you should try to figure things out and use him as a valuable resource to help you plan out what you want to do when you have a question about the game. He has offered me insight and explained things to me when I ask. Which BTW is not very often. Obviously you have learned a lesson about the cap this off season. It is as much a part of the game as the field action. The help you get SHOULD be along the lines of advice, not people trading because you want or need to trade. They are looking out for their team's best interests.

I always knew that the salary cap is a big part as the action on the field is but what I now know is how greedy these players and how selfish everyone is around here. The first part learning that apparently others have an eye for talent like I do and that we all have to outbid each other and the players we want take the greediest offers they can. In my case, those that I sadly had to resort to instead of others like Oakland, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, etc. who were able to sign the ones that I originally wanted such as when it came to my quarterback situation since it seems that quarterbacks are the most greedy here. If everyone here is so afraid to spend out of their $100M, $200M, and $300M salary caps and hog players that they have no use of them fine. I’m just going to have to cut them including the quarterbacks I have especially Anthony since he wants to have an unhappy opinion but still sign with me so that’s rich. Also, what advice and by who?

A lot of people here will give you advice imo but everybody here is competitive and will look after their own interests. Just like in most things in life.
