Ok, lets just take a moment and all brag about our blitzball teams, since we have topics to brag about everything else...

I got a very nice team assembeled, none of the origional Aurochs remain on it, but thats just cuz they suck, for my team I got Tidus and Villucha (Hired at Besaid Village) as my wings... they both have very HIGH shot, high HP and good speed, they own the goal domain. My midfield is Tatts (Hired on the docks of Kilika) And with high pass, block, HP, speed, ok attack hes very good in his area... equip with golden arm, wondeful for setting up goals. Oh, may I mention Villuchas high Block as well, so stealing the ball for a nice goal is very handy dandy. For my defense I have Kyou (A crusader at Djose Temple) and Brother. Kyou is my attacking defense, and Brother is my other assist manager, with high block, high pass, and actually pretty good shot.

My goalie was my hardest pic, but I eventually took Jumal... hes not to bad, his catch doesnt get very high, but he covers, the teams really dont get many chances to shoot on him, thats always good...

My team is fairly fast, and racks in about 4-6 goals per game if I feel like sloughter... I am yet to loose with them... they make me so proud, and im well on the way of getting wakkas sigil

Whats your team plan?

well...I havent lost a single blitzball game..... have tied 2 thou and have well over 50 wins.... still playin with the old Mighty Auroch members... didnt see any point in changeing since they are better than all the other players out there....have most of the techs for Tidus who scores about 18 goals a game...

Actually, compared to the free agents, there stats are abysmal, well not abysmal, but there is much better out there

i never let my levels get to high i only play blitzball for wakkas stuff and resetting data is the easiest way but the people i do use are

lf:tidus (good shot and en and has jecht shot so easier to score)
rf:wedge (17 shot at level 1 and really high attack he just rocks)
m:naida (extremley fast and good pass also with some decent tackles her attack stat and wedges mean that hardly anyone can get over the halfway line
rd:ropp (good pass and tackle)
lf: jassu (to lavy to look for anyone else)
gk: jumal (good catch for start)

I've won 81 games, but Keepa is the only true auroch left. I have all of Wakka's reels, the sigil, and the Jecht Shot 2 for Tidus. I can't remember the last time I lost a game........

i've only played 78 games but i've won all of them...in the intro where you see the Jecht memorial tournament in FMV i had expected the normal game to have the otherworld music playing in the background which would've kicked a$$.

anyway i have all my original players....if you stick with them eventually they kick a$$....like mine do.

does anyone agree that blitzball is too easy?.....i've only let it 5 goals in 78 games that i've played.

I have the same as Psychosyd, only that I have Ropp instead of Brother and I have Nimrook(the Al-Bhed goalie) instead of Jumal. I make around 8-10 goals per game, the only thing is that I only shoot with Tidus, Villuchas is there to help on the defense and sometimes to make a goal if Tidus is asleep, or if his shot has been reduced and has been poisoned. But I have played around 150 games and have all Reels and I have the World Champion but somehow that damn Jupiter Sigil doesn't want to appear.

I used Tidus as one of my main scores. I also had Bickson from Luca Goes, Eigar from Al Bhed Psyches, Keep as goal, and two defensemen whose name slips my mind, I haven't played since Feb. Anyway, I lost a few exhibitions when I was learning how to play, but never really lost after that. Then I reset my teams a few times so I could get the random prizes and such.

Edit: Also, the most goals I've scored in one game is 10, with a 10-0 shut out.

my blitz team is this:

on wings i use Tidus and Blappa (from Al Bhed)
both with high shot
in mid i use Brother because he is the best in just about everything..

I still have the original defense cuz im not sure if anybody else is necessary

and to top it off i have Nimrook playing net....

i don't lose anymore because the Al Bhed's best forward and elite goalie are playing for me!

center= tidus
lc=wakka
rc=larbieht
rd=wedge
ld=ropp
goalie=nimrook

i havent lost a single game wid this team

and keepa is the worst goalie ever but will have a 99 shot when in lvl 99 lol

Left Forward: Tidus
Right Forward: Wakka
Midfield: Brother
Right Defence: Botta
Left Defence: Irga Ronso
Goalie: Nimrook (absolutely untouchable)

Lost one game out of hell knows how many games and that was the first match with the goers.

I never use the defence people, brother(MF) takes care of that, he could take on 3-5 people on average and he's always the fastest on the field.

When I feel I scored too many goals and it gets boring, I just have Brother get the ball and swim around the stadium, nobody can catch up to him. I also use this trick if the enemy has a good defence and lure them away with the ball.

I wish there was some way to use the FFXI online network on FFX so that we could all play blitzball in a big tournament and play against each other. That would be sooooooo cool! You guys would probably kill me, though. Lvl. 50 is the highest my characters are..........

then you still played a lot of games....

my highest is only like 24 but thats the unstobbale brother

Change that! My highest player is Graav.............he is now lvl 58

My Aurochs really suck, I havn't won a single game, and I've only replaced Letty with Rin, since I can't find anyone else to recruit.... I suck at Blitzball, I can never score!!!!
