Wow, the team went on a great run and we won the NC. This was totally unexpected with no SR* on the roster. I thought I'd be competitive with the top teams, but I didn't think I could make a serious run until next season with 1 SR* (see my early posts about why there is only one next season) and probably not even til the season after that when I will have the full complement of 3 SR*. This is the quickest I have ever won a NC starting with a roster full of SIMs.
It looks like the offensive gameplan adjustments two seasons ago and the defensive gameplan adjustments last season really helped. The team finished highly ranked on both sides of the ball. But, it's still too early to have any conclusive answers since there have been significant talent upgrades to the team as I replaced SIMs with my own recruits every season. I probably won't have a definitive answer until my vision has also stabilized since the talent I can recruit should continue to improve along with my record.
I'm not sure if I'll continue updating this thread going forward. The Challenge has ended and I've already hit the pinnacle with an NC. There's not much else I can show about building a team. So this may be my final entry. I hope anyone who followed this leaned something.
