I'm shocked that you asked me a question and didn't like MY answer. Ok, I see that I didn't put a time measurement on it, but that was MY answer.

Yes, I played in L.A. and found that my quick, assembly-line tweak was better than the boiled bases I traded for. TO ME, tweaking is easy, like Norbert said, and less important TO ME than learning my players so that I can execute my plays to perfection (which I can't unless my bases are tweaked) and calling the right play at the right time.

To answer YOUR 1st question, it takes me about 15 minutes per unit to get them on the field AND COMPETITIVE AGAINST ANYONE IN THE COUNTRY!!! When I build a team, I organize them into 6 units: Backs, Receivers, OL, DL, LBs and DBs. A basic tweak is all I need to rock-n-roll. My Coaching will pick-up the slack and gametime situations will make or break me. What's wrong with that answer? In the overall time it takes me to get a team on the field - pimping out my team, drawing up plays for MY players based on THEIR talents - takes MORE TIME than tweaking them. IS THAT THE WRONG ANSWER?

I don't have to win every game that I play by any means necessary. I don't sell bases, so I'm not gonna break my hand tweaking to the "n"th degree just so my one guy is stronger and faster than your one guy. Who cares??? What can your 11 do against my 11? And if you're stronger than me, I'll have to compensate. If you're faster than me, I'll have to adjust. Or lose. WHOOPTY FRIGGIN' DOO-DOO. My manhood isn't measured by my Wins and Losses. I have ONLY played one game that I absolutely hated and that was because I was way too competitive for the situation. After that and since then, having fun, fellowshipping, sharing tips and strategies is more important than the outcome of the game. Win, Lose or Draw.

So again, in the whole spectrum of the game - TO ME - tweaking is not as important as everything else it takes to build a team.

I don't mean any ill content or disrespect to anyone whose OPINION differs from mine. I have personally beaten stronger and faster teams and THOSE don't impress me as much as COACHING i.e. execution, playcalling, time management, etc. After all this IS football. Throw on some cleats and let's get ta crack-a-lackin'!!!
