Title: Controversial picks as players of the season?
Post by: Mario ADK on November 04, 2005, 03:04:53 PM
To me this is a joke what the computer is doing:

Payton Rookie of the year? Why?  Aren´t we talking about Frankfurts LB Tinosiuoiepaieo as BY FAR the best rookie there was? Or maybe ADKs S shawn Mayer?
I admit Payton had 12 TDs which is great but those mainly came on short-yardage situations when FBPro sometimes uses the HB2.....

ADKs Rasmussen EFCs defensive player of the year? Come on....! (And hey it´s me, Mario Kreiner, ADKs GM speaking....)
Rasmussen was very good or even better than that but no way he deserves this title....

But hey, it is the computer...

Paul,
GM will be announced after FWL-Bowl, correct?

If i could pick three i would pick (alphabetical order):
<) Adam  (put togheter the best overall team, impressive start)
<) Jason  (very active including the Forum after a silent year, form 4-10 to 9-5!)
<) M....yself (for all the improvement of the last 2 seasons including finishing with the best record this season etc etc....)

The computer often can choose controversial picks, last year S Deke Cooper.

To me Buck Rasmussan is NOT a controversial choice.  Rasmussan is a member of one of the greatest defenses in a long time, the Austrian defense was ranked 1 and ranked well against the pass and run.  All because he didnt have 20 sacks it doesnt mean hes not good

If anything think of it like the NFL, Rasmussan was so good he was double teamed a lot making it easier for other players to get sacks.  Nugent was an unknown before coming to Austria, he had 6 sacks last year, 2 the year before. Now its no coincidence that lined up with Rasmussan, Nugent has had a career year with 10 sacks.

In FBPro the computer awards points to each player after every single game, thats how the All-FWL teams are created.  Rasmussan has had a great year and i'm surprised you dont think he has.

As for Payton thats a controversial pick, the computer seems to like playoff teams and touchdowns.  To me LB Tino should have been rookie of the year but all those touchdowns Payton scored you cant ignore it.  But i would have gone for Tino

But DE Rasmussan ?  Why on earth do you think he shouldnt be EFC Defensive Player of the Year ?  3rd against rushing, 1st against the pass, 2nd in team sacks this year, last year Austrias defense was 16th, this year 1st.  I think Rasmussan is an obvious choice
