These rankings are based on putting a bunch of various numbers into a program. They are NOT sdumont's opinions. There are various things that effect them, and honestly they usually aren't that far off for most of the games.

I don't see where anyone said they don't agree with sdumont. What I see are people saying they disagree with this or that projected score. What else can one post and stay on topic in this type of thread?

Thank you for posting this, I personally thought that was pretty obvious

Its the flaw that is the GLB game. Can someone please tell me how my LB's can rack up a loss 1 out of 3 times and then the RB rolls for 35 yards and 9 broken tackles on the next play out of the same set?

*Welcome to GLB where every Megatron Marion Barber powerback is better than the best 5 Rb's in history - Sayers, Payton, Sanders, Brown and Simpson put together!*

Sorry to express my bitterness, but this is ridiculous.

^^ You guys are one of the leaders among good teams in missed tackles. Maybe that is something that needs fixing on your end not on GLBs.

Also, just to answer your "how" question, I didn't look at them all but the ones I did seem pretty obvious.

When you made the stop behind the line, it was your LBs getting through before the HB got going.

The missed tackles look like they came after he had already gotten going, or they were CBs/Ss (or both).

The broken part of what you have posted is that the RLB can come through the line completely untouched if you blitz him, and get the HB in the backfield. It is completely unrealistic.

On the times when he doesn't make the play, you are going to complain? Petty.

Not to mention there are at least 10 other things more broken than this. GLB is a train wreck in many ways, but it is fun. You learn to live with the game the way it is and get enjoyment out of it, or you don't and you move on. Bitching about it rarely accomplishes anything other than make you look like a doofus.

I learned this back in season 2.....although I still manage to find other ways to look like a doofus.

I'm sorry you neglected to include Tim Tebow. I can't view your post with any credibility without proper homage paid to an all-sport first ballot HOFer.

Vegas_Bronco, I think our HB that you're complaining about only had a total of 20 BTKs in 3 games against GB, Rage, and Shockers.. I guess we just got lucky today man...

monkeyskin,

you guys have one hell of a team and in no way am I trying to take away from that - congrats on your victory! My gripes are all about the adjustments made this offseason with the sim. I hope that RB of yours has a great career in the GLB, but what are the chances of that happening? He'll probably get nerfed next season right after he boosts.

Galkuris,

72 missed tackles in 8 games is a joke, no doubt....yet, we've had less than 20 in all 6 seasons previous to this one....and yet we need to fix it?

CB and SS had many stops at the LOS also during the game - they had some great stops on some plays and then got bent over on others....I tend to see that as inconsistent....something you get your azz chewed out for on the football field.

Trust me, it wasn't our builds....and if it has changed, why weren't the changes more transparent?

It really is a poor season. We didn't go from BBB6 to Pro in 5 seasons having shitty builds. If anything, the reason we separated from the previous leagues so quickly was b/c of 1) our dedicated owners who wanted to excel in this game and spent the jack $ to create excellent, 2) disciplined builds along with 3) some excellent AI's and a lot of effort. My player managers are former owners tired of the game b/c of previous changes......they were committed to make it happen for GLB and to give it a shot again - some I even coaxed out of the shell to give it one more shot. Trust me when I say, I'm just speaking up for those that are getting disillusioned with the game in a hurry. 1/3 of my team is already to quit the game simply b/c of the regressed season 7 changes. I think I was more than verbal about it to start the season. Some, I guess, call that bitching.

Okay....so, we supposedly 'fix the builds' (whatever that means) - how do I know that it won't change again next season? We pumped over $40 million into our roster to change it around last season and now the game changes again nullifying the effort. I'm calling this season's sim out b/c this game needs to be more transparent and if management is going to switch shit around, they should let their clients know in advance instead of bending them over with an inconsistent mess. Management needs to hire a business coach real quick, obviously there are some poorman's lessons that still need learning and I know many that will stick around pumping money into someone's ethical education.

I've fixed this game 3 times in just 5 seasons....tell me why I should take the time to do it again? Wait, I know, the reward for a job well done is the opportunity to do it again, right?

Btw, Can I Please get my username changed to: 'Crying Shame (aka Vegas_Bronco)'

........there, now that's a change I know those upstairs are capable of.
