Warrior General Games

i had three teams for over 30 seasons.I decided to downsize to just one team several seasons back and did not renew the ownership of the other two teams. one had multiple championships, made it to WL etc. The other was utilized as a farm team but still had championships, impressive seasons etc.


If I wanted to reboot either of those teams I have to do so with out any the accomplishments or prestige of the previous body of work that was performed because the ownership lapsed.

Why not allow teams to go into a hibernation mode where they are not deleted, can not be purchased by some other random agent (who many times keep and bastardize the the teams good name), and can be brought back to life when the owner sees fit?

Personally this would provide me more motivation to start up a new team again as It would feel like a reboot of my previous team. Starting over with a completely new team without the records, team stats, trophys etc is not very appealing when I have already put in the work.

Additionally there are many agents who do not want to sell their teams due to their team history but keep them around for many seasons without any players on them which just bloats the leagues with cpu teams (there are many examples, but heres a fun one http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=104).

I have felt like this i something that should have happened a very long time ago.

Restrictions can be made so that its not exploited. IE team must meet a minimum criteria of seasons of play/success something of the sort. Can only hibernate 3 or 4 teams per owner etc.

Please show us you still care GLB.

i've been thinking this exact same idea lately as i see so many leagues filled with teams not being managed just because the owners dont want to lose their team history

Implement now!

Only a matter of time until GLB as a whole enters a hibernation mode.

Getting old.. even in hibernation gotta get up every few hours to piss and complain.

+1 this happened to my teams and it just pissed me off.Everything was erased all because I was on vacation.

Amen brother. Now... please 'scuse me while I go to take a leak... and bitch about somethin.

I'd go for this...

or even just a team retirement, where it locks the team down so no one can steal the history / name / tradition etc

It can't be that hard to create a new CPU team to fill the void

agreed... I mean if they need to they could have a "teams will only be hibernated on day 41" or something... and you could select it ahead of time and it would automatically take place. A few simple restrictions: no players on team, done on a day where it doesn't effect scheduling etc...

I think replacing with a CPU team mid season would be harder due to the need to reschedule the entire league (keeping the same team IDs wouldn't work, because that would break all the links from the previous games etc)

if glb would wait to build leagues until day 48, then hibernating teams would be much easier. not to mention more competitive leagues.

I know I brought back one of my old teams, but since the previous one had been "deleted", I could not use the previous team.

So +1 if it can be implemented.
