Not really. I am a last minute kinda guy anyway.

If this is true then why bitch and moan about the mistakes that you make all the time. you are telling everyone right here that you put off stuff until the last minute. It is no wonder you make a ton of mistakes and no wonder why you make suggestions due to those same mistakes. if you would actually take the time to do things right in the first place then no one would have to make a bunch of changes to fiw the mistakes you make.

------------------

Hatch can you really not grasp the concept of not judging the user but fixing the program?????

If a game designer sits in Judgement of his users instead of seeing where he can improve his interface, he will be out of work in due course.

User Friendly. Its an important concept. If thats not doing it for you, think Idiot Lights on cars. Yes we should all be able to read an oil guage and a temperature guage and so forth and so on. But they put those in as well for a reason.

People are going to make mistakes. Not just me.

Now if you will excuse me, I have three Nat Pro games today, time to get scouting!
HATCH"S RESPNONSE
I get a perfect grasp on what you are trying to say and as usual you are trying to tell me what I do and do not understand. seriously dude you are not in my head so stop pretending to act like you know anything about my thinking. my whole argument is that not everything should be done for people. seriously if Bort and Co. make everything so that you don't have to do anything then what in the hell is the point in even playing the game. If all your suggestions were implemented the game would be complete and utter boring.

personally I think that if people would stop bitching and whining long enough to learn how to play the game. instead of wanting someone to do everything for them that alot more people would enjoy the game more. there are reasons why the CPU teams on this game beat teams last season. shitty builds plain and simple. there are reasons why you make so many mistakes on the game. It is called not paying attention or being to busy trying to get the game changed to the point that no one needs to do anything.

seriously even this thread blows my mind. you are asking for the game to basically do the work for you yet again. to actually build a package to do exactly what you asked for would only take 10 to 15 minutes at the most. yet instead of you taking a couple minutes to build the package. you come in here and you make the suggestion to have it done for you. and then you argue about the suggestion. when in all reality you have wasted more time on this suggestion than it would have taken you to do it yourself in the first damn place. so you say that I do not grasp the concept of not judging the user but fixing the program. well the damn program doesn't need fixed in this scenario. the user just needs to get off his lazy ass and do the job.

Hatch you may get it but your responses routinely show an utter lack of understanding of the concept.

This one included. Asking the Interface to help you do your work is the essence of a user friendly and useful UI. Its what computers are for, and the most capable of. One click, many changes. If you want a monotonous repetitious labor intensive task, try taking up bricklaying for a hobby. But this is a game. And anything that makes 100 clicks into 1 click is a plus, not a negative.

LOL So pissed.

Just worked on and off for a couple of hours making an adapted D for my USAPro game. Opponent is a better team but extremely scoutable. Think the D would have done very well.

Wife distracts me before game time, I forget to actually make this new uber DAI active.

your not asking the interface to help do your work you are asking it to do it for you. there is a difference in getting something that helps a user out and something that basically does it for the user. by your thinking we should all just sit back and let the computer do it all for us. what fun is there in that. you want changes that rewards someone being lazy and penalizes the ones that work hard at the game. that is the whole problem I have with most of your logic. you want stuff to help the Lazy people on this game so that they can compete against the people on the game that work hard at the game. that isn't fair to the people that work to make their teams better. and in the end only makes the lazy people even more lazy.

I'll just mention -- again -- that the stock AIs don't use packages, so nearly every output is a specific play. For anyone who works with the stock AIs to create a gameplan (i.e., me), I can see some value in toggling players' assignments by input. Globally toggling assignments makes less sense, but I could see wanting to test TEs pass-blocking on the left (since I've done it) and wanting to have all outputs do that without replacing packages. Train of thought alert: I wouldn't mind seeing assignments by packages either.

Didn't your wife distract you last time on your equipment snafu and if I'm not mistaken it caused another suggestion? I think I can fix this whole thing for you.... tell her to go shopping or something when you're logged on and maybe, just maybe you'll get better at this.

No I am not Hatch. Setting one setting to a given default with a single master setting is me choosing to do that without my having to open every single play setting. Thats computer 101 stuff.

Sounds to me like you need to get rid of the wife then your GLB experience will be better.

I just need her to give GLB the same level of respect her Survivor show demands.

However that argument falls short when one considers survivor is on what? 20 hours a year? GLB is on 20 hours a day, lol.
