But yeah... "playing" this game has become an exercise of keeping up with the Joneses because the player whoring only makes the rich get richer at that level. Promoting a team to World is now the challenge and the reward... because there's not much to do after that. The task of staying at the World League level for most teams is an exercise in stomping on the players/agents that got you there.

EEPL has consistently been the best league in GLB for solid competition for many seasons.

I think EEPL has insulated us, until now, from the decaying league structure surrounding us. While we may be enjoying the music, caviar and champagne currently in first class, I can't help but notice that the SS GLB's bow is clearly underwater and sinking fast.

Would someone please tell me if they see ANY hopeful signs?


for me at least the care level is just not what it used to be

For example I can remember watching each game live without knowing the score. Now days I just click box score and watch highlights.

I kinda think most of the vets are getting to the burned out point and there is very few new guys to pump new life into the game.

Archetypes and new training was a terrible idea...people maybe like some pieces of it but basically in 4 seasons the entire game will need rebalanced again due to much much better builds.

WL is cool but there are no rivalries....I would rather participate in a 51-6 loss to Hood than double digit win seasons in the WL. Great concept but I think the WL has actually hurt the game since declining teams most likely gut and realistically only 8-10 teams have a shot to win it anyway.

Less teams having a real shot at top prize = less cares overall

The game was also fairly static for several seasons. Then catch got hired and just about everything has changed. Most of the changes are just more layers of complexity to the game. It really sucks to have a level 72 plateau dot and realize you can be great one season and terrible the next due to a knee jerk reaction SIM change.

I could go on forever but it is the off season

I like this

Heck even Casual Pro its a recruiting nitemare and nothing easy about filling a roster there. We may not plan much game to game but do guys like Taurran and others bother with WL WHores either?

I spent about 15 minutes on 4 games last regular season...the SIM is too unpredictable to gameplan like a few seasons back

go up big and you risk a stupid morale spiral...get behind early and you can spiral the other team

Honestly the AI is just too complex for a RNG game where you can not adjust during the game. If it had this many layers when I started I prolly would have quit right away(some think that is a good thing though)

I def. agree with the rivalries aspect of WL and how it has hurt the game. The goal is obviously to always to get to WL and stay there but once you make it there you're surrounded by teams you never play and agents that you have not created any sort of relationship with (good or bad)

The sim is broke!

So, every thing that they add to the game further exploits that. VA's are crap, bottom line, no use for them. Adv. Equipment is another thing that further exploits the sim being broke, as well as when they bring in that EPIC Coach thing, that will really make the game great!

Anyways, the game has become an elitist game, for someone new to join they would have to be a genius to catch on, and for the older heads, they are way more knowledgeable then they were when they started, so you have NO money coming in from New people, and the older ones are trying to phase out because of the broken sim and the unfair treatment of the "non - insiders".

Any suggestion is shot down, or stolen, and usually by some guy that is 40 some odd years old, and loves pwn'ing nwbs, and has nothing to offer to that said suggestion, but just wants to further exploit the cheats in the game as his mom serves him grill cheese sandwiches in the basement a.k.a. "The Lair"

Also, with no money coming in, and a broken sim, this game is turning for the worst. There are mods that have publicly admitted that they have been a multi-account user, one being a MAJOR player in the game, only not to be banned, actually the person made a joke that he had done this many times. Only not to face what you or I would if we did. Shit, I am scared to have a friend over that might log in while at my house just because of that reason.

HOW TO FIX THE GAME......

Make it fun again, bottom line, when we all started, we believed that we all could build a great player, we believed that if we did that we could help our team win. What fools we are! What they need to do, IS FIX THE SIM!!!!!

They should also allow the player builds, NOT VA'S, SA'S, COACHES, or anything else that has been added on to determine the outcome of the game. Simple.

Builds --> Gameplan --> Determine the outcome of the game!

The game is going to fail if they don't fix what the game was built on, and that is that is WAS fun at one time. They need to take the VA's, SA's, and EVERY other addition OUT of the game, and let Gameplanning, and Builds determine how a team does.

They need to have a cap on Attributes, no more then a certain number whether with equipment or without. Let's say 120, also, it would be nice if they actually made the players builds mean something! Right now if you build a complete player, that could be taken out of this game and put on any real field and be good or great, YOUR PLAYER WILL BE BEAT OUT BY a player that has 149,000 Speed, 144,889 Agility and so on.

The game CAN BE FIXED, but they need to start with the sim!
