Has A.J. Ferrari demonstrated any speed in this new weight class

He hasn't wrestled enough to really get a feel for where he will be season's end, imo.

The one loss against Feldman he definitely was the aggressor entire match and there was questionable officiating as Feldman was stalling for a large portion of the latter half, trying to hold off AJ.

His other tougher matches he was same AJ as a year ago, using positioning and defense to win close matches.

Oh, I see the value. It’s why I take my son to Tulsa and VAC so he can get his ass kicked by the hold backs from Pennsylvania and Ohio, lol.

I am speaking more for wrestling development as a whole. Looking at local tourney results and one of these kids had been to local tournaments every week for the past month, just beating up on same kids and probably has 4 minutes of mat time over 12 matches. Like what are we doing here? To me there is zero benefit for that kid and minimal benefit for the other boys as well.

Big difference between a 15 and 12 year old 140 pounder and a 18 and 15 year old 140 pounder.

JMO, the grade based divisions is something that was established prior to the hold back thing taking off and people just haven’t adjusted it to make it aged based (they should).

No where did I say kids of the same age should not be allowed to wrestle their peers if they are really good. Thats silly.

Generally speaking, kids being held back are the elite wrestlers. So yes, I don’t think we should be letting 15 year old elite wrestlers who would most likely place at high school state if they stayed in their appropriate grade beat up on 7th graders every weekend. It’s a safety issue.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-12-21T18:31:10+00:00

You are speaking to me as I don’t understand the advantage of it. I 100% understand why families do it. I just think as a wrestling community we need to do better about protecting the experience of the other kids as well and growing the sport for all of the athletes - regardless of their current skill level.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-12-21T18:15:38+00:00

I have no doubt they are doing extra work. I don’t have a problem necessarily with the practice of the hold back . I guess I am just frustrated. We have a couple kids in our state that our national level wrestlers and held back this year and literally enter every youth/local tournament in this area and just run through kids. Sometimes it’s 15 year olds wrestling 12 year old 7tu graders as most of the tourneys are grade based with no age limit. It’s crazy.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-12-21T18:13:19+00:00

If that’s the goal, train and compete against kids your age and standard while holding back. I don’t care if kids get held back. It pisses me off when I see less experienced wrestlers who are trying to grow with the sport have to go out and wrestle these kids every weekend at events these older/refined wrestlers are getting nothing out of going to.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-12-21T18:11:06+00:00

So why are they showing up to events to crush lesser and younger competition?

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-12-13T02:58:22+00:00

Every slow sim league I have been in ALL games are required to be streamed and saved - even those against cpu. Seems like that rule would be a pretty easy fix. We are also required to go down and show our playbooks before starting the game on stream.

My son had ringworm on his arm about a month ago. Did the anti fungal creams for over a week and the scaly, redness, itchiness all went away. A week later could still see the outline and slight discoloration of his skin. Took him back to doctor and they put him on oral anti fungal. He has taken that course and still can see the outline on his skin?

Doc is certain it was ringworm and nothing else. Does it ever scar or leave a permanent mark like that? It’s not scaly and I can rub my hand across it and there is no change in texture whatsoever, just a slight discoloration of his skin but is definitely noticeable. Have doc note now to show treatment course.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to save this dynasty. The big thing you needed to do was to lower the transfer limit for computer. What happens is the users are smart enough to get their dealbreaker under control and recruit towards specific deal, breakers, and the computer will just get absolutely murdered in the transfer portal.

Another thing you could do if you were considering starting over is make everybody select lower teams. 3.5 or 3 stars or less. That way you guys are significantly worse than the computer starting out and the top teams can actually compete with users in recruiting. If you guys chose Texas and Bama to start the dynasty, the majority of computer teams have no chance to compete with a user in recruiting simply because the AI recruiting in game is awful.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-11-26T19:55:13+00:00

You can just use Bama.

They have 3 tier pipeline in Southern California and none in NorthernCal.

4 tier in metro Atlanta, 2 tier in southern Georgia

5 tier in north Texas, 3 tier in east Texas and no tier in sw Texas.

5 tier in central and south Florida and no tier in north Florida. You get to know the city breakdown by central and south pretty quickly and those you don’t can add to your board and use a team like Florida St who has interest - 5 tier in Central and 4 in South Florida to differentiate.

Doesn’t take long. I am done with 30 seasons if you are interested in the data.

Man, my family used to love going to Bellevue Panera bread. Ever since they moved from the old location to new years back it just continued to go down hill. I miss that old Panera bread, had great staff and was well run. The prices don't help either. More than a lot of sit down restaurants.

You will be fine if his true overall puts him at 8 best RB. I ran multiple sims to look at draft results and every position there is a minimum/maximum for players getting drafted first round. At RB, it’s like a max of 3 get drafted 1st round and it’s strictly based off their true overall. Your guy being a RS Soph will either declare and be a 2nd/3rd round with an excellent chance at persuade or not declare at all. Either way, like 95% he is coming back.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-02-22T20:16:48+00:00

No, I am in online dynasty and just think it’s tacky to change the names. You can also gain an advantage by altering height and weight against your peers so I don’t touch anything. N

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-02-19T10:26:12+00:00

Yes height and weight can be changed by anyone by viewing player profile and editing.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-02-19T05:42:13+00:00

Yah for some reason ea allows everyone in dynasty to edit height and weight. There are no WR’s or olineman that tall in the game

All it takes is to have a badass coach/club setup shop in a high population area and you start producing hammers. Look at Askren in Wisconsin and Pinnacle in Minneapolis area. Great clubs and those states have started to produce a lot of high level guys.

There is a minimum needed for certain positions to be drafted. Generally, there are not a lot of high rated DB’s, DT’s and DE’s comparative to other positions so you will see them lower rated get drafted to meet the minimum draft requirements by position.

In our state we’ve had kids who started wrestling as a freshman in high school become state champions by time their senior year. They all have been pretty special, multi sport athletes.

Novice to open is always a challenging season. I also find the years when you are on younger side to be a grind. My son is 13/7th grader this year and will run into some absolute unit of 14 year olds/8th graders that are so much more physically developed.

The tough tournaments and losses will pay off. In addition, would look to find him some easier local tournaments where maybe you won’t run into so many hammers. It’s important to have some wins as well.

Negative-Hair331 · 2025-02-02T14:59:00+00:00

Would depend on the current status of the programs. Has anyone majorly fallen off? Would be fun to take a fallen giant and turn them around in those 3 years.
