Warrior General Games

plan your roster better. with the extended plateau, you can turn over 12-15 dots per season, remain competitive, and not destroy your lolChemistry.

The penalty is there for a good reason and above is a prime example of how to avoid a big penalty

It replenishes as the season goes on.

Oops.. forgot to say -1.

-1: don't blow up the entire team & screw up the Chemistry in an overwhelming fashion. It is and has been part of the game. There has to be a penalty of some sort.

But it needn't be so severe, nor need it be something you can do nothing about to fix it.

Frankly the entire chemistry thing is way overblown. College Football clubs replace huge sections of the team every season. With Free Agency the Pros do it nearly as often as well. The end result is not teams that cant play with each other or run around the locker room shooting at each other.

And there are things the teams do to work on chemistry as well. Team Leaders, Coaching, Minicamps etc.

GLB should have the same ability.

And, as noted in the OP, for pure game design reasons you should never allow your player to paint himself into an unescapable corner of misery as a routine part of the game. Its just bad game design and a poor business decision.

the bolded part is wrong

you can do something about it

Yeah thats true

There's a new game opening up in the Server down the Street you might like.

Its called "Watching the Grass Grow Online"

Very Cool. From the makers of the hit "World of Paint Drying". I've got a level 75 Ass Scratcher in that one, with a full collection of all the paint colors too.

Something tells me you've been sniffing a little too much of that paint lately.

In a game of online kids and persnickety old farts, no plan to keep your free agents on your team is guaranteed to survive contact with Day 40. As such unless you are a one owner team or networked (and even then) you can not know you will always have no more than 15 vacancies per season.

Booby trapping the game to ruin for fun for the 20 to 30 dots who did stay with your team is just lousy game design.

And thats saying nothing about the double promotions that Bort is routinely unleashing on lowby reg pro clubs that had no business expecting to be promoted to National Pro.

See above

And also see way above

The Soup Nazi is not a business plan to success in online gaming. Its a path to Chapter 11.

The Suggestions Forum is known to cause altered states of being upon over exposure. I better go for a walk.

I'll just replace it with the ever popular for now.

Heh

Okay I am going to go do something with a team, or work or something.

20 dot changeover

day 41 - 20 dots leave - chem at 80
chem rises to 81 rollover to day 42 - sign 20 replacement dots - chem drops to 61
day 43 = 63
day 44 = 65
day 45 = 67
day 46 = 69
day 47 = 71
day 48 = 72
day -8 = 73
-7 = 74
-6 = 75
-5 = 76
-4 = 77
-3 = 78
-2 = 79
-1 = 80
0 = 81
1 = 82 - and this is for overall team chemistry - the offense and defense will be higher

with the 5 season plateau, if you are turning over 20 dots + each season you have many issues

Apples & Oranges to compare NFL and College to GLB:
College football teams have a limited pool to draw players from & play similar level players (typically). When teams lose a large portion of their player base, it does effect the team...this is why almost every conference allows 2-3 games vs. non-Conference opponents. This gives them time to mesh.

Do many NFL teams actually replace more than 10 players in a season? (legit question, but typically you see 2-3 rookies and 4-5 new signings per year)

Another yello1 "GLB...Please save me from myself suggestion."

Indeed they do. The Suggestions Forum exists for 2 reasons:

1.) So you can post ideas for how to change the game, and...

2.) ...so the rest of us can tell you what we think of those ideas.

You've done your part. Now I'll do mine.

*ahem*

Your idea sucks. -1.
