LOL....I'll admit, I'm not as knowledgeable about MLS players as I am with say, England, but with Philly coming into the league next year, I figured it was high time to start re-acquainting myself.

I played the MLS game a couple seasons ago, and the version we have now is a bit better and definitely more challenging than the previous model. I like having coaches and benches, and the player pricing seems about right.

That being said, I think they could add another million or so to the salary cap, as I found myself digging a bit for players that would fit in the budget, but once things kick off this weekend, and I can start catching some matches, I'll use transfers where possible to improve the depth.

Same here. I'm fairly well acquainted with most of the "star" players of the MLS, but beyond that, I pretty much took some shots in the dark. But, we'll see how the season progresses. Last year I just watched my Red Bulls' games (which turned out to be a hell of a season). This year I'm gonna try to keep up with the entire league.

And join people!!! Standard salary cap league, try it out!

Holy crap....did Paulo Nagamura light up the night, or what?

2 goals, one being the match-winner, all in all he had 82 points. Considering that he's going for only $250k, he's a nice Midfield bargain with that production.

...and like Brad Evans, he was on my bench
