1) Confirm how many users are online and how many users have logged in over the past 30 days.
WIth the WG Games bottom bar & chat feature, this should be easy. The request has been dodged by Bort & Co. for years. We deserve to know. Like it or not, we drive your revenue. If I'm a new or existing user pondering a $100 flex point purchase, I want some sort of confirmation that this game will exist long enough for the players I'm spending money on to mature. More investment from us REQUIRES more transparency from you.
2) An easy-to-follow, short, comprehensive How To Play video.
If you haven't been involved in GLB Classic since the early days, it is pretty damn hard to understand. Back in the early days, my referrals caught onto the game immediately. They were around for the changes. They were part of the new updates. They learned the game as it developed. Now, it's nearly impossible for brand new users to understand, enjoy, and compete. I referred a die hard football fan a few months ago, and it became painfully apparent to me how hard it was to play catch up ("What is multi training?" "When should I boost?" "Who the hell is this Bort guy everyone is talking about?"). A two minute to-the-point How To Play video would do wonders… ain't nobody got time to read an outdated Wiki page.
3) Shorten the offseason & preseason to speed up the player development process.
I'm fine with some of the issues others hate (ex. price of a player… you get a 70% refund upon retirement!), but agree completely that the player creation cycle is too long. Without any major offseason sim changes to adapt to from season to season, the need for a drawn out offseason and 4 preseason games doesn't exist anymore. Shorten the offseason to 4 days and remove 2 preseason games. This will remove 8 days IRL per season. Over the course of a 12 season career, this would speed up the player development process by MORE THAN THREE MONTHS.
