How to Up Your Skill Level

A lot of people have been asking me how to get your skill level up. People think that your level goes up from getting picks, tugs, and sacks, but these "skill" points are for that stupid season showdown (read previous post about my thoughts on this). To get your skill level up you have to do one simple thing, play and win games. When you win, depending on who you play, and what teams were used, and where you play, depend on the amount of points you receive. For example if I am Florida playing Miami at home, and beat a crappy player like a level 2 or 3, I am not going to receive hardly any points that go towards increasing my skill level. If I am Miami and play away at Florida against a good level 20 player, I am going to receive a lot of skill points. Losing will screw over your quest for that high level. When you lose games it cancels out about 2, 3, or even 4 of your wins, for example, if you get 30 points for a win, you will get negative 90 points for a loss. To best get your skill level up play players similar to your level that you think you can beat, avoid playing really good players you will probably lose to (like me) and play people you think you can beat. To get extra points, try to always play away.
