my vision of the big picture is that there is bigger probability of improving the game by varied smaller changes vs the one big idea that nobody had ever imagined that suddenly solved everything.

if you can start improving desirability with small steps people will start enjoying again and hopefully continued progression will ultimately created a snowball effect that will bring the game back to where it was in years past.

low confidence in the games future is what is causing lulls in age groups. Increase confidence by improving enjoyment (which almost goes two fold as its byproduct is that the developers are not giving up on the game) should be the goal to make this game more successful.

Whether they make the right decisions, poor decisions or bad decisions, something has to happen as the game has been stagnating for too long. It requires more to keep people coming back and new users to want to join.

It's cemented in your mind there's only one way to play GLB ------says DUB and I agree

Look around at the teams/agents/owners that are going outside the EL box or AEQ box, etc.

Seeing a kid come in and post or try with a team and get shot down by the norm---not helping

This is a sweet idea actually, if you could have those teams along side the current model, wouldn't that prevent the pricing out of said customers?

And for what its worth, one of my and many other complaints is Admins never saying anything about ideas, and while this isn't some watershed moment Corndog did come in and talk about a suggestion that's been a hot topic, and at said ngth with what appears to logic. Now of course he is getting bombarded cuz its not what everyone wants to hear but at least its answers with rationale. The more of that the better.

That idea is basically to reduce the cost of owning a full roster really.

I agree with the premise that the game is too expensive for the way most people would like to play the game (i.e. own a team of players, not just 2-3).

How many people really want to do much of anything?


Very few when you keep removing their options.

I saw un-nerf everything and let the coordinators fight it out to the death.
At least the game would be interesting again.... and there would also be the chance for someone besides HCreek to be a WL champion DC.

have users buy entire teams for like 5,000 flex a season or something, that covers all boosts, CEQ, etc.


+1

The big thing for fun GLB'ers is owning-not bad-building-not bad, but, always a butt with a frog-Getting a team to do well but not gutting your friends and good agents to do so. Yes networks and such work but what about the every day GLB'ers? Keep that exciting with better MVP stuff, thinking outside the box available plays and football related stuff(how bout we call two point convo's/how bout we call a broken pass route into a QB run/how bout we call a bonus when all 55 dots on a team are active)

Allof these things can be done will little effort for GLB1-hell I can't click my last scrim cause the terms of use line blocks it still

Full OPC and full DPC capabilities would be interesting.

But what GLB lacks (and would be even more exaggerated) is a reasonable default offense and defense. Something that is made by good coordinators that non-coordinators could use and not get curb stomped assuming they build mediocre dots.

No, you're the one that has the same thought process as Bort. You have a tiny little box that your mind can't escape. If something has never been done a certain way then doing it any other way is just stupid. Or you don't like something or never done something yourself certainly no one else could possibly like it and the ones that did obviously wasted their time. People like you are what's wrong with this fucking game. It's cemented in your mind there's only one way to play GLB and any other way is just "stupid".

Playing with a bunch of CPU dots isn't a more marketable solution. Sorry.

Underrated post imo....

It's a better solution than giving people a team and 55 dots to maintain. I've done both and the CPU team was actually more fun because you just picked the types of CPUs you wanted and only had to worry with coordinating. Bort could create templates off current/historic dots from this game and introduce them to the owner mode GLB and tweak them to where some dots are slightly better (and more expensive). It's not far off from the superstar stuff he's done with GLB2, tbh.

haha i understand bits and pieces of all his posts, he has a language all his own for sure !

When GLB1 is played in an all human AND competive League "Season after Season" with rivalries developing between both teams and users (both good and bad) the game is in a healthy state That probably accounts for a lot of the Veteran agents...and I think most of them stay here out of loyalty TO THE PRODUCT.....Although retro steps cant be taken to "before" GLB2 I would think that a majority of users would have opted for an upgrade to GLB1 rather than the developement of a new game engine etc
Theres a thousand what ifs but the only ones that are important are the positve ones.......
What if GLB1 was sold off/leased out/updated/improved etc etc etc What if GLB1 was marketed against GLB2 ? And before anyone says that the user base is too small to stand AND IMPROVE thru competition then it was a barely plausible business idea to think that a 2nd (and graphically and gameplay wise inferior product) would somehow pave the way towards warrior game world domination ? So What if Corndog was in charge of 1 and Bort in charge of 2.......You think that the QUALITY of product will deteriorate ? And if not then why arent those improvements being sought when the games are able to bounce ideas of
Im on here way too much and spend far too much on here already but I try to be as positive as I can - I enjoy the building part of the game and co-ording so for me GLB2 was a mystery I say was as I will only ever play it when those pesky graphics have been improved enough to make me not vomit over my laptop
Ive only been in the game a couple of years but these guys that are here since 2008...?? Holy Cow how do you not reward that loyalty....I change wives more often than that and maybe a new way can be found where those experiences and views can be listened to and more importantly be seen to be listened too
Lastly on the money side the fact that GLB2 was able to be created was due solely to the success of GLB1...the Daddy !!...Thats something to be proud of not hidden under the carpet like old dog poo !! There are so many business methods to re-invigorate a product.....But without the heart behind the hype its a surefire thing to lose I think that the original thrust of this thread is supported by quite a few of us
