Default MIGGLE PLAYER QUESTION

I understand that Miggle does not produce NFL teams anymore, and I do know that one can buy better and more expensive players, but my real question is this;..can one have success, and fun with using just miggle players?

I am sure this concern has been addressed before, but I couldn't find it anyplace?

In the DFW you have many different types of players from miggle, riggie , buzz ball and hybreds. The key in our league is to weight them up to 4.0.
Some of the best figures are miggle. The base and player make the diffence

Hi Paul,

Yes one can have success and fun using Miggle players. As a matter of fact you can have success and fun using any type of player. Some prefer to use the custom figuers because they look more realistic. Hope that helps.

Coach J

For the most part, all I've ever used are Miggle/Tudor figures. And believe me when I say that I have as much fun as anyone here. :p

Great info fellas! So, putting a little weight on players makes them perform better?

weighting the figures (with lead tape or puddy, etc..) makes the guys more consistent when running. the weight alone will make that base stronger than not weighted bases, in theory, and is mostly the case, but by no means is that absolute.

as far as figures go, i think you have to experience the figs and get a feel for what you like. i think i mentioned to you (or someone else) to dont go out and spend alotta money on one thing to soon. be patient and take in all the hobby has out there to offer. research, check out pics, ask questions and then try to obtain what you think you want. check it out, then go through the process again to find more goodies.
pm me your address and i will send you alittle something so you can experience the different figs. couple of buzzballs, reggies and customs.

now me personally, i dont like miggles because they are cheap and these figures are not as defined (the wr's have gained alittle weight) as the tudor figures. on top of that, the combination of having ******** near 150 tudor teams and buying teams from some of the customizers out there (in moderation, over a years time, experiencing other figs), i like the buzzballs and reggie figures cause they offer different poses and customs because those are definitley DIFFERENT POSES. Haiti repros from buzzball are very nice also because they give you the performance of the miggle figs (as previously mentioned) but have the definition of the old tudor figs, but better. very similar to your big box flat screen TV that you loved (Tudor) to the present day 1080p hi def slim flat screen you love NOW (haiti repros).
i will hit you back with the question you asked me earlier and get more into detail.

yes. all the players are compatible with all the bases. some players may fit a little loose on some bases, but they will all fit and do fine.

I thought weighting was illegal in many leagues?
