Your argument is new and inexperienced agents might not use it correctly and it could cost them - well same could be said of every feature in GLB.

If you want to harp on the lack of a comprehensive tool to educate new (or current) users on GLB then that is another issue. Auto-tagging can be just another tool that coordinators can choose to use, or not use as they like. And a boost for those who may not have the time every day to scout every team on the schedule.

What purpose does it serve other than that?

Besides make lazy DCs marginally better in some games and unarguably worse in others?

Some people have a life outside of GLB - they understand how it can be used to their benefit.

The rest of you that have 24/7 to scout and game plan every single game probably won't need it.

AI doesn't come preloaded with a mixture of good plays and really terrible ones. I'm hard-pressed to think of any feature that you need to disable to prevent it from hurting your team. You can't deny my point that auto-tagging absolutely would hurt some coordinators, and especially the inexperienced ones, so you choose to ignore or dismiss that out of hand.

This argument carries no weight with me. None.

If you aren't capable of figuring out how to use the OPTION effectively then you are most likely not going to be worth a damn as a coordinator anyway. This is not rocket science - it is actually quite simple in the grand scheme of GLB complexity.

But if it makes you feel better put a big shiny warning on it that says - 'warning, this tool is not meant to replace actual scouting - use at your own risk'.

Yet, on the flip side, there is no such thing as using this option effectively and still being worth a damn as a coordinator.

This generally sums up my opinion on this topic

I don't DC but I occasionally help tag for a couple teams. It literally takes 1 minute to do once you've made a decision after watching a little bit of film to set tags...

Auto-tagging is important for the quick friendlies as a lot of coordinators aren't on 24/7 and have time to set up the tags. Obviously for regular scheduled games it isn't as big of a deal.

Quick scrims are pretty much the king of Notabigdealville.

You should have every team already tagged. Slackers.

I lost the quick scrim game and I'm REALLY pissed off!

Fortunately I'm me and you're you, so your consent is entirely irrelevant.

No - your consent is entirely irrelevant. The people have voted, you lose.

Deal with it.
