financial stuff is completely ridiculous. no reason why this cant be an option per league. i for one want to play a football sim, not an accountant mini game.

the training seems over complicated but who knows. there's already so much guessing here, this just feels like more complexity to a system that's already a mystery.

this is a classic game development mistake. adding feature after feature before nailing down core gameplay...in our case getting things balanced at all levels, and then explaining everything to the users would be a great place to start.

with all the guessing that users have to do at this point already, adding more and more will just make this game less appealing.

i think this could mark the beginning of the end for GLB.

Well, I agree Marcus, and disagree, I for one like the New additions, but I will say that they are doing way to much. It is catering to those who have been here for several seasons, and will fail to attract any "new" users because it will be to complicated for a noob. Then Knock-offs of GLB will have the edge because of simplicity and ease, You may be right about the end, the end of any new players, but the Old Timers will be here

let's be real.. it's FREE and FUN...

Salary cap wont affect much though since a lot of owners have several of their own players on the team, therefore signing a talented Agent is still a piece of cake..

Overall.. I'll stick with the original.. I think it's a great way to keep people from cheating on the game.. doesn't allow people to figure out all the in's and out's of the game.. NO HACKING!!!

I disagree with both of you, and not because he is my OC. I think this is a huge turn off and I have been here for about 5 seasons now. Im not a noob and by no means a founder, but this may make me take my money elsewhere. I know guys who have been around longer than me tht have anlready given up because of changes that came WAY before this. I think a well organized "knock off" could replace GLB in a heartbeat. Look at the video games we play. NCAA Football has little competition, yet they let you know all the details of the game. Explaining details doesnt create hackers, it make buyers happy.

No salary cap wont effect pee wee and it wont effect teams like mine that are 90% our own players, but most teams are not like that. Most team have a small core of their own players surrounded by free agents. I think these changes will depend on new customers who have not experienced "the way it was" and only know what it has become. But these changes go way beyond salary caps. We're talking about changes that deal too much with beign a GM and an owner. I give Bort my money because of game play and the hopes that things will improve. I dont want to have to pay $1M to buy a clean up crew to slow the decay of my stadium.

They are definitely fixing things that AINT broke. Classic mistake. I dont know if I'll be around next season, and if I am not good luck to those of you who think these changes are for the better.

Thank you. Stepping off my soap box now.

Let's not forget.. People are asking for these changes.. They aren't pulling these things out of the air.. Alot of people will leave and alot of people will stay. Either way.. GLB will make lots of money.. A couple hundred bucks here and there is spit in the bucket at this point.. There will always be more people to spend there money on GLB..

I'm just sayin'

Well, they have decided against the financial changes for now. If people are asking for these changes then why are the forums full of people complaining about them? I think they are trying to make changes to level the playing field, but the changes they are making dont seem to make sense. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see what S16 looks like

This is turning out to be more like the NFL. Its more business and less football. I have been on since season 1 and im not big on all the changes. Just when you think you have something figured out, something else gets changed the following season. If there are bugs that need to be fixed then by all means fix it!! I just wished they would stop adding new stuff fromm 1 season to the next. They already got a hell of a fan base and only see more people joining but they need to keep it simple. Nobody wants to play a game thats to damn complicated. Key word: GAME!!! I know i have spent my share of money on GLB and have thought about quitting at times but i am hopeing it will get back to being fun. I agree a "knockoff" could challenge GLB in the near future. So in short, KEEP IT SIMPLE !!

Is it really fun when everyone has it all figured out, though?

..but do we really?

i mean, we don't know much about how or why we do some of the things we do. just look in any of the positions forums and read through how much guessing is involved when it comes to the most basics aspects of the game like what attributes are important.

i would much rather see them put there efforts into expanding gameplay features such as custom depth chart slots, or an offensive play creator long before they push us toward aspects outside the actual game itself....or even fix up the website to improve the interface and spruce it up a bit.

i don't mind the changes now that they're not forcing most of it on everyone, and think that long term expanding to feature sets outside the dots is a good thing. i just question doing so BEFORE really fine tuning the on field gameplay and pushing that to it's fullest before adding.

sequel based game developers make this mistake every year, and every year fans of those games cry out for fixing the most basic of issues rather than adding more secondary mini games or gameplay aspects. it's a common mistake in game development, and one i'm sorry to see Bort making it himself.

my hope is that this adds to GLB, but until they truely finish out the on field stuff, most of this is just noise.

I'd love to see in-game bugs worked out, but keeping it the same every season isn't the answer. Maybe not these kinds of changes, but some are needed every season.
