Warrior General Games

with SOOOO many CPU teams at some levels, some teams have 4 worthless preseason games. those 4 games are a small part of what owners pay for each season, and right now we're not getting our money's worth.

why not just give each team 6 free scrims per seaons instead of 2 and let us pick our own preseason opponents vs. teams it would be actually useful to play.

the current system is kinda like an NFL team scheduling games vs. 4 local middle school teams. doesn't help in testing out game plan at all.

alternately, if possible, maybe CPU owned or majority CPU rostered teams could just not be scheduled to play human owned teams or teams with mostly human players.

if this can't be fixed, then reduce the flex cost to renew a team to 375 or 350.

another approach that would be fine IMO

+1

-1 because you would run into the problem of teams either

1) Not getting any preseason games.

or

2) Being still forced into games with those teams because of a first come first serve basis.

Like a substitution game in which we could have up to 3 to use each season.

Similar to a friendly where the other team has to accept it.
But can already see this is probably "too difficult" for the current staff to attempt.... wait a year and it might make it into Epic of 2 years of voting.

Suggestion should be make preseason scrims private so we can actually use them to test things.

since they wouldn't be limited to playing the small pool of teams they have now (the other conference of their league) i don't think scheduling would be a problem. the other teams that wouldn't have any preseason games are the owners who don't care enough to use those scrims.

this works too.

The entire concept around preseason is to play the teams in the other conference. Either you run into a situation like say in WL where everyone could possibly face the Chicago Hedgehogs and the Hedgehogs end up with 31 preseason games or you end up with the same situation as you presented in the OP. First come, first serve and someone ends up facing a CPU team.

hey look, yet another thing that you know nothing about. the purpose of the preseason is to work the kinks out of your AIs. how the fuck did they make you a moderator with your lack of basic glb knowedge?

we call them sandcastles, but you have to forgive bhall because he obviously has the IQ of a rock.

Calls me a troll for presenting factual knowledge of the game that he doesn't want to hear.

Goes on to troll me.

Typical GLB

If this suggestion were to go through. This would absolutely need to happen.

so you think that when we went from 2 preseason to 4, it was in order to play the other conference?? and you think thats a fact? the preseason games were added to work out the coding changes that happened every offseason. who we play is meaningless as long as they are competitive.
