Where is the option for: "I learned a lot of strategy but hoped they would've helped me with individual fights more"
I mean, a lot of that was my own fault, I know I'm not the most active trainer every card. But the week me and dumas fought and we were on the same team it's like the gym was dead. I'm not looking for the coaches to tell me who to pick and I will always be grateful to both metalmike and the assistant coaches for the strategy threads in the gym, but hearing some more breakdowns would've been nice. Overall, I'd give the experience about a 4/5.
I was only in a week. But I learned a LOT while I was there.
I learned some about how to pick fights, but learned tons about pick strategy. How and when to hedge. When to pick underdogs, and when to low lock the favorite even though you think the underdog will win.
Personally, I expected a lot more. I don't feel like I'm better or worse from the expierence. It was cool to be involved in it. Kumason helped me via pm on the Swanson/Stephens card and I'd like to train with that guy everyday of the week. He's so knowledgeable. I wish there wasn't so much bull s---. The random draw that was only suppose to take 20 got moved to 24........then top 16 scores got in only to find out now there will be 18. A lot of people got kicked off making the top 16 scores from UFC 174 really meaningless. Then we find out we're not fighting each other in rd 1, we just couldn't score in the bottom 3 took the team aspect away right out of the gate. In the future, I'd like to see the 16 that get in straight up fight in the tournament. No twists or BS. It would of been a lot different if the same 16 were the actual cast members. Reptile, Ren, Peja, Crom, Xo, and maybe more were all sent packing before it even begun. We've now reached the final 4 and it just kind of feels lack luster. Most people probably couldn't name the final 4 without looking.
When Bowser asked me about coaching I said I didn't want to train with the entire JFF. However, stray and I pmd the whole team saying we were available for private le making sessions. Anyone who approach me got my insight. You take away what you put into things.
While my stay was short-lived (a week or two?) and I didn't really say too much in the JUF house, I felt that this was a great opportunity. Bowser was there 24/7 even if I had a silly question; he's passionate about the sport and you could tell he was eager to teach us everything he knew. Bowser's coaching team were supportive and knowledgeable. PSUwrestler wrote an amazing post full of information regarding wrestling alone which was quite impressive. And last but not least my teammates... They were there for the same reason I was which was to improve their game in FF'ing, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't learn anything off of them, too. <3

Wasnt my fault people posted outside house.
You cant leave the house.
The twists were in a way to give you move time to train and learn from coaches.
Loved this season.
There was a ton on tactics available and at least 3 coaches would breakdown fights every event.
Mike Corey and Kuma brought in a lot of thoughts and offered more input on whichever fight anyone had doubts.
Honestly, there isn't a single complain from me. The shticks, jumps and soul taking was just a cherry on top of a great cake, and it was "optional" to participate in it. Alienator is doing great and hardly ever posted anything. You make of the house whatever you want, some used it to s--- the bed, others to soak up every bit of knowledge that was available.
9/10 (since I did not win lol)
@josephdumas I do appreciate the honest feedback though.
I wish there was an easy way for people not to post outside the house.
Also I have a times wondered if a fight master style setup wouldnt be better as 4 coaches means less fighting of teammates and smaller teams.
Was the best season ever, so its obviously improving. I worked hard with every fighter I had on my team and they are all better now.. I honestly believe most guys/girls on my team this season are future champs.

Yup coaches get to say the guys they want and fighters pick, but once your full, your full.
Gibbs said:
I like it
and I think with all the possible head to head match ups it could be way fun. plus the ensuing drama would increase ratings

Yeah, I have some time to think.
Next project is probbably bringing NFL style ACF league here.
I think it would keep the top guys with something to shoot for.
Anyone who wins JFF title previous year would join league.
Basically a champions league of JFF.
