For the time being, MOST resources are focused on the new games. Also, if they are not making changes than the new D formations magically appeared out of the ether?

This... so basically stop making all these suggestions, as all are now "NGTH"
___Insert evil emoticon here___

Stop expecting things to be done by X time, maybe. But don't stop making suggestions, as only some are NGTH and those that are NGTH have been so for awhile.

Caught confirmed this in one of the long suggestion threads. I would add the link to the thread but the forum search (one of the long ago suggestions) was not implemented so I can't find it.

I find it interesting that 2 new defensive formations were added but were never on the suggestions list or voted on while simple suggestions like make make hard the default setting instead of normal on play intensity rots on the suggestion list. Pretty much shows the disconnect on what GLB thinks is important and what the userbase thinks is important.

The term Epic Suggestions = "Been so for awhile... also"

EPIC = step brother of "NGTH"

Too funny

Well I will agree Epic is not Epic at all in terms of implementation.

But to make a blanket statement that everything is NGTH now, is pretty silly.

Actually both formation came from user suggestions, may have not had threads in Suggestions, but I know for a fact that they came from users.

Also, confirmed what? Having a hard time figuring your meaning there due to the odd quote.

Already as this blah blah blah about nothing that will be nothing is basically blah blah blah... lolsuggestions

-1 btw

So what you are saying is that there is some secret behind the scenes user suggestion box that is more effective in getting suggestions implemented that the open forum all the userbase sees and votes on? Sweet!

Catch confirmed no changes will be made to GLB. Developers are focused on the new games. It's in a recent thread that I can't find. you can ask him if you want. Maybe I read it wrong but I am fairly sure that is what he said about changes. Also, that meant all changes no matter how simple they may be.

The Suggestion Forum has gotten more Suggestions implemented than any other method. But, yes, there are other ways. One would be PM...

So Catch said there would be no more changes made to GLB. None, ever? That's just patently false. You'll have to produce the post. The other part is true, a lot of focus is being giving to developing the new games. Which is drawing most, but not all, focus away from GLB.

I don't think catch said what is being conveyed by some here.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5079899

I dislike catch as much or more than most but let's be intellectually honest.

Interestingly they do proved the 4th reason that makes it pretty simple to argue that it will be a very long time before any real or decent changes will be installed.

He asked the DC forum, which is no secret fwiw, to list some formations they would be interested in and then he would pick a couple to add to the game if they made sense. He also asked if some guys wanted to share some plays they thought would be pretty good for the presets.

The reason for the new defensive formations and the presets he is working on right now is because people are having a hard time defending Big I and GL formations with GLB's current restraints on the DPC. Yes, that is a far more pressing need than whether you player starts out at an intensity of hard or soft.

Your insistence on no changes being made is misguided. You should probably do more reading and less belligerent comments about the state of minor suggestions.

I thought Catch just said that some PW changes might be possible in a couple of seasons? That would mean changes are still being made.

As far as this suggestion goes, the normal KO/KR interaction is garbage, so what makes you think that an onsite kick could be done well? Fix ST in general, and then add onside and squib kicks.

-1 to OP

Most "changes" are and were essentially "bug fixes", not implementation of the many "suggestions" that are either up for a vote or have been re-suggested over half-a-dozen times.

"Bug Fixes" doth not equal "Suggestion Implementations", this is a given being that we cannot post bug fixes as a suggestion anymore

So again, the "changes" are updates that are noticeably needed (bugs), and not necessarily suggestions

Not sure who suggested the 5-2 defense, but that was an implementation I do believe...
Anyone want to take credit for this one?

Why are people still so hung up on this? Just because it is not what they see on Sundays? Are they upset as the kicking team or receiving team?

FWIW, real football rules allow for either a punt or kickoff (although without a tee). Kicking team will choose the punt as the hangtime allows them better kick coverage and less return opportunity. Not really sure that matters in GLB as both coverage teams in GLB are pretty equal but if I had to choose as the kicking team (the way football rules allow for), in GLB I would choose to kickoff.
