Default Getting ready to construct team...need advice before I purchase

After going through different threads, I'm getting ready to create my team.

For now, I'm just going to order everything through Miggle to get me started. (Then, I can join Miggle tourneys)
I'm purchasing dark and white jersey teams of 22 players each. Each team will consist of 11 67 big men and 11 traditional size figures.

The 67 big men will be used for the OL, BB, TE, and DL. All other players will be traditional figures.

I'm going to get the following bases...
1. ProLine strong bases w/straight front and TTC...for OL
2. ProLine strong bases w/rounded front and TTC...for DL
3. 2006 Orange speed bases (TTC)...for pass rushers, loopers
4. 2004 polo green speed bases...RB, receivers, DBs
5. ProLine fast bases with round front...for kicking teams, returners

Does this cover everything I need? Is it too much? Do I need anything else?

Default Whoa...

I'd hold off on the Prolines for now. The plastic that they're using right now is not very good. They are working with a few coaches in trying to improve them. Most of us are waiting to hear that it's ok to purchase them.

Hate to see you waste your money.

Try doing a search on Prolines and check out the conversations/opinions about them.

You can tweak for great strength by using the standard TTC shell, remove the stock white dials and replace them with dials from the Proline TTC bases.

Just an FYI

sounds like you sat down and made yourself a plan, what type of board do you run on, if i was just starting out ,before i buy a board i would go to other peoples houses and scrimmage on thier boards to see which one my team runs best on,i spent alot when i started out and half the boards i bought were non-compatible with my team, just trying to save ya some bread.
