11 men teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HOOP]

I have been scrimmaging a solitaire game all week. I started this game at around 9pm last monday, so guess who the teams were? You got it - Saints Vs Pats! But anyway.............

The saints were just an 11 man team of Haiti figures.
The Pats were a 22 man team of stamped miggles that i even customized a bit (just altered poses with some heat).

2 things jumped out at me, almost right away.

1. The 22 man pats team was just alittle more fun to play with because of their different poses at different positions (even the non altered poses as well) which gave me better play at the positions.

2. One of the RB's for the 11 man saints, was a devastating runner when sweeping to the right side. But on defense, his best position was corner because he could hold the wr somewhat. But if he broke off, who knows where he was going to go? I couldnt put other figures there cause they just could not handle Randy Moss at all (funny how this happens in our game, paralleled to real life - the beauty of the game )
With limited options from different positions and poses, i was only able to pretty much play 1 or 2 defensive schemes that optimized the talents of the athletes i had. THis sweeping RB now became a devastating blitzing safety on every play. It worked out well, but with only 1 safety back there, Moss and Troy Brown broke free a few times.

BUT ALL IN ALL, Who cares? Its just preference. To me, even when it comes to the high end custom figures on the board. Cause like i mentioned to a coach a few weeks ago, once that board starts, who is really looking at the teams, players, type of fig, custom prettiness, etc? Once that board starts, you just trying to execute your play. You wouldnt care (at that moment) if you playing with the steelers as being a cowboy fan, you are just trying to get swann open for that pass from bradshaw.
just my opinion.

But i love this thread here, cause i have many 11 man teams that i play with and 22 man teams as well. I like hearing what others say.

i will tell you one good thing about the 11, its old skool, and its so much more manageable.
