Seems that no one has picked up on the PW thread in the suggestions forum after we raised 3 legit ideas, they all got turned down by a suggestion mod and the others were trolled by some 10 year olds desperate for attention.

At this point, no one is taking us seriously. I'm not going to boost or C/E next season or this. As for PW Gold Owners, I think our best way is to get you guys involved. There is no way they can turn you guys down, as without you, PWs wouldn't be where they are today.

We try to give good suggestions, and it takes 2 seasons to implement 1. Bort doesn't think much of us, so I'm all in for a boycott.

Yes, all of you need not boost or purchase CE next season! Better yet, leave all your teams CPU and don't even create players.

My team is outbuilt by every other team, so we need CE and boosting to win.

It does look like our concerns are falling on deaf ears. I agree not to Boost or use CEQ for the foreseeable future if our concerns aren't addressed. Even the suggestion of no more Day 31 builds would go a long way, since guys are forced to buy more FP each season in order to build Day 31 while still having an active roster in the playoffs. If we can actually put up a united front, things just may change. But really, all it takes is a couple of users not to be onboard for them to say "we don't need to change anything, people will still pay to play"

And that's the issue.

I'm one of the alleged 10-year olds that the OP was referring to. I'm not in favor of anything being done to peewee passing. Bort's time is limited enough as it is, and there are more pressing concerns (to me) than passing not working at the lowest level of the game. To the argument that "It USED to work--Bort changed something", my reply is "So what?". Bort changes things all the time--usually because players further into the career arc aren't performing as expected. But nobody really expects peewee players to be much when it comes to passing the football.

But if you guys care that much about it, you should at least give your position a go in the only forum that ever gets anything changed. That forum is the main "Goal Line Blitz" forum located 4 forums below the "Suggestions" forum. If you can rally enough support there, Bort occasionally drops in for a drive-by chat.

Good luck.

All in all, I thought PeeWee leagues were to give your players max plays. I'm all for whatever you plan to do to boycott, but how come we didn't start this a couple seasons ago.. And if we did, why would they even consider it now.. I just don't see this going far, considering 1)Owners are always looking for that winning edge and 2)the ones who want a change, know nothing will happen, but just want to be team players.. But I am in, cause I won't have a PeeWee next season..

I am giving this one more shot. If passing isn't fixed by game 7 of season 13, season 13 will be the last season that I spend money on GLB.

People actually pass in peewee? Ever since i've played GLB (2 seasons ago I started) no one below level 15 has been able to catch a pass. Why would you throw to a level 1 player more than 1 time per 10 plays on avg.

He had enough time to create Pee Wee leagues did he not? If you can't maintain what you create, you should not create it. If Pee Wee's aren't a high priority, that's really not so bad if he would come out and say so, then everyone would know where they stand. But when players in WL post about problems, they get their needs addressed (after much arguing & trolling). Because WL players as a group have expectations about what their players are capable of at their level and when any one facet strays too far from the expectations (be it screens or zones or whatever), they complain, and it gets addressed. Same for any other tier with organized players who see each other regularly over multiple seasons (like many of the main stay Pee Wee owners do).

Pee Wee owners went multiple seasons with functional passing, not great, not good.. functional. Now it's below functional. Enough people felt that the players performance dropped below established expectations (based on multiple seasons of play) without warning. At any other level... this would, and often has, evoked players to request change, and in many cases it happened (i.e. the QB passing debacle of a few seasons back when QB's were stealth nerfed overnight and players got it changed back) So while it's fine that you disagree, they are simply trying to go about the process as best they can to effect what they believe is positive change. If you don't mind the initial change then changing it back should be equally meaningless to you. Bort will decide on his own how best to allocate his time... Pee Wee owners are just trying to get in line.

If you want max plays find a slow build team or leave your guy in the D league. These are gold and silver teams actually trying to compete, not farm teams.

The reason this started now is because this seasons level 8 QB is performing like last seasons level 1 QB. Something changed this season.

I cranked up the throwing percentage in a blowout and my QB went 12 of 74 with 1.2 yards per pass.

im a new peewee owner this year and it even seems to me like there is something wrong with the passing. ive created wrs b4 and they all caught plenty of passes when they were in peewee. now a team is lucky if they have 6 or 7 completions in a game.

Oh, so no builds on Day31 and no CE or boosting will make it more competitive? Ok..
