Warrior General Games

Our team got whooped in a come back game today.

One of the factors was morale spiral.

We had scored 29 points, the other team 10. We had scored many of the 29 unanswered.

The other team scored 14 unanpoints.

On the next drive I noted this (and its the most glaring but not only example)

My CB with +3 morale in his salary and +13 from season long promotions, and whatever plusses from our team having scored 29 points and being 6 points ahead.....

Has a morale of 76.

What

The

Frak????

Yeah his confidence is only 49. But thats not horrible.

Give defenders more morale for the scoring of their team.

Just Do It.

actually it does simply because you aren't factoring in the individual players build and the individual match-ups the player has been in. not to mention the other teams ability to use different SA's, VA's and promo's to kill your morale. seriously Yello1 if you would take 2 seconds to think things out instead of running in this forum and making a ton of suggestions. you could more than likely fix 90% of the problems you encounter instead of wasting everyones time with all these useless suggestions.

Coz when a team that once HAD a 19-point lead blows that lead and lets the other team make it a 1-score game, yeah, of COURSE their morale should be sky-high...

...says yello1, who clearly has never A.) played, nor B.) WATCHED an actual sporting contest in his life.

Sorry yello, but when a team in real life has a big lead and then suddenly lets the other team claw their way back into the game, there's a pretty good chance that the leading team's confidence is going to be shaken. They'll have doubts. They'll be nervous. They'll be afraid they're about to blow what should've been an easy win.

In that circumstance, some teams in real life rise to the challenge and do what it takes to win, while other teams fold like lawn chairs and let their opponent steal a win from them.

Welcome to sports.

Its not one player.

Its not a few players.

Its not one game.

Its not one team.

I have seen this crap over and over again across the board across the leagues.

You would be incorrect in all of those life story assumptions firstly

Secondly that would be a fine scenario to try and explain this away - IF

1) There was not magic fairy dust to make a players morale 25% "higher" at kick off. But as is, these guys were sparkling. Yet they are 25% down with a 6 point lead? Thats f*cked up.

2) That being "Shaken" didn't mean you were running at a substantial decrease to your attributes. But that IS what Confidence does in GLB, is it not? You play worse. It makes no sense that you would play worse as the game score closes up.

3) That your scenario is legit. However this contest was not one side blowing up the other, but a steady exchange of blows, one team scoring, then the other, then the first, then the other, then the first scoring a few field goals and a TD. 19 points was never a "big lead" that would have made the one team complacent and then devastated when the other team scored twice. Its not a 38 point collapse. Its normal tit for tat football. That should not make a player lose 25% of his effectiveness (not to mention his 25% fairy dust).

So sorry, I still submit this makes no sense. In GLB terms or real world sport terms. Its just a crappy system.

What WOULD make sense is a team way ahead being a little less competitive because they lay off. What WOULD make sense is the team coming from behind getting a positive boost for its regained confidence. But saying "OH MY GOSH WE ARE ONLY WINNING BY SIX POINTS!" and pissing in your knickers and losin 25% of your abilities is just frakking dumb.

Its also a pretty bad game design.

it makes no sense to you because you have teams full of less than stellar builds I am assuming. I would also assume that since you post about you being a coordinator that the coordinating isn't that great either. all these things factor into your teams success's or failure's. and sadly your teams failure's fall squarely on your shoulders.
