#1. Odessa beats bluebanks 92-7: http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/game.pl?game_id=2756765

#2. bololick blames bort instead of taking personal responsibility for his awful as fuck gameplan: http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5236602&page=2#49134122

#3. 3 INTs on singleback TE Post. Nice playcall. I love the double-covered 1st read downfield into an INT secondary.

#4. 4 INTs on BigI Quick Outs. Nice playcall. I love the double-covered 1st read downfield into an INT secondary.

#5. 2 INTs on Singleback Reverse Slant. Nice playcall. 1st read is a streak downfield into double coverage on an INT secondary.

bololick can sit there and cry "I blame bort" all he wants, but 9/12 of his INT's were on 3 playcalls on 1st/2nd down which were called a combined 20 times. No other pass play was called more than twice. All 3 of those play calls had a double covered 1st read downfield into the best INT secondary in GLB.

Ya I don't have a team in this league for s48, but the ineptitude in unreal. Either learn how to pass, or keep the rock on the ground so you don't lose by 85 fucking points in a playoff game. Bright side, you're an honor-less game-throwing piece of shit so at least you didn't lose to the Hedgehogs by 85 in the playoffs this year or last. Scrub.

You keep passing and you keep failing so bad you can't even stay in WL. Maybe you should just shut your Whiney ass up.

Only demoted once in my last 4 WL seasons, which was only due to some super shady collusion lack of honor game throw stuff at the end. I'd say that isn't the absolute worst.

You don't own a team, but if you did I'm sure they'd suck like the one you pretend to GM.

Or it could have something to do with your team not getting the job done and then crying when others don't do it for you.

Hey wise you still hate INTs?

Yes, they are out of control and bort left the game in a horrible spot. With that said I feel no sympathy for Odessa being INT-fucked as many of their opponents during their 16 game playoff win-streak have gotten INT-fucked I'm sure.

Still, you gotta play the game as it is.

I'm mostly pissed we recovered 0/3 ffums while you guys recovered 2/2 ffum. If that's not getting sim-fucked, idk what is.

===============

That fact that in Alpha there were only 3 QB's with positive TD-INT, clearly illustrates how insane the INTs are in this game. Hedgehogs QB was +22 in TD-INT. Only two other QB's were positive with +5 and +3 respectively. That's in a 16 team conference with some of the best teams in GLB. gg bort. GLB at this point is basically me and tomcic passing the ball, and everyone else passing the ball badly or spamming runs to the strongside behind bTE's and pretending that makes them genius OC's. Super strategic.

To be clear, WL was used as an example over NattyPro or RegPro due to the relatively equal competition and lack of gutted teams.

GLB Passing is too risky

Some statistics from the World League...

In WL through 4 games there have been 132 Passing TDs, 170 INTs, on 3844 attempts and 128 team games played.

That means WL teams average 1.03 Passing TDs/game and 1.33 INTs/game.

That is 1 TD every 29.1 attempts and 1 INT every 22.6 attempts. Keep in mind this means INTs are even more common than this on non-screen passes, as screens are very rarely INT'd.

Due to risk, the top levels of the game are shifting towards more rushing

Through 4 WL games there have been 3844 passing attempts and 5107 rushing attempts. That breaks down to 42.9% passing and 57.1% rushing.

Passing there have been 3844 attempts total for 24036 yards. That is 6.25 YPA passing.

Rushing there have been 5107 attempts total for 25386.5 yards. That is 4.97 YPA rushing.

However note that there have been 30 fumbles lost total in WL this season, however 11 of these were on STs so that is 19 fumbles lost on rushes. That comes out to 1 fumble lost every 268.79 rushes.

So passing is slightly more effective from a yards standpoint (though the difference is much closer than the NFL), it is far more risky. Once every 23 passes you will throw an INT however you can rush 268 times for every fumble. Keep in mind the INT rate on non-screen passes is even higher than this, and since TE/HB/FB passes are picked off a good bit less than WR passes, I imagine the INT rate to WRs be insane (though I am unwilling to mine the data needed to compute this).

CONCLUSION

Due to the current state of INT-heavy GLB, you should not be passing on 1st/2nd down against equal competition at GLB's top level. While 100% run teams will never be optimal, they are clearly closer to optimal than pass-heavy teams. An ideal GLB offense currently involves being very run-heavy, with perhaps certain key personnel for clear passing situations (3rd and long you force in a passQB, recTE, recFB, recHB, and have a receiving WR at WR3 perhaps)

GLB REMEDY NEEDED

While I understand BORT is working on other projects, this is a HORRIBLE state to leave the current game in. Due to the huge risk of passing downfield compared to rushing. Also keep in mind team's usually have 2-4 rushers total, while they have normally 9 dedicated recievers (5 WR, 2 TE, 1 recHB, 1 recFB). Not only does it make for less interesting dotball and strategy, but it also means as teams shift more and more towards the apparent meta, 9 dots/team will become even more underused than they are currently.

I am not opposed to Warrior General games focusing on other projects, nor do I have a problem with a "stable" sim. I do however have a big problem with an end-game sim that crowds out options and strategies...

*sigh* Fine. I never said or even implied "that nothing after s30 means anything." I said that the World League doesn't mean as much as it used to, which is undeniably true. It's not a coincidence that you failed to make the playoffs eight straight times while winning only 30.5% of your games (by comparison I made the playoffs in 7 of my first 8 while winning 62.5%), then finally started doing better once most of the veterans quit. You didn't suddenly become better at GLB after all that time. You're the same guy you've always been. You try to pick fights with me because the only way you can pretend to be relevant is to feud with someone who is relevant, and you make "CHICAGO MIDGET HEDGEHOG MAFIA IS GLOBAL RANK #1" threads in GLB main precisely because you've never achieved anything worth bragging about. Empty posturing is all you have. You don't even have a team anymore.

If a team tries to win vs 15 teams and tries to lose vs 1, you don't see a problem? Love the logic.

Obviously we should have done more in our power to get an additional win. That's the past though, 22/32 teams demoted last year. The legacy the remains is jdbolicks horrible reputation.

For the record, I think everyone not involved with your team found it hilarious and enjoyed you not being in this forum this season.

Truth. The reward is in the path not the destination however.
