Good read. Much like my Dynasty with the GM of the expansion Expos, like reading about rebuilds, the challenges they bring, and taking them on. End of August, my Expos were 60-85, so can feel your pain.

Good luck turning things around. I'll be following along!

rpriske · 04-23-2020, 02:09 PM

Glad you are enjoying it!

It is one of the reasons I like playing multiple Dynasties at once. In some game my team is good. In others, not so much. Different challenges.
