Is GLB2 closer to "casual" than GLB1? A happy-ish medium, maybe?

Yeah, I prefer the dots over the bots for sure... it's a lot harder to follow the action with the bots. I think I'd get used to it after a while though, if I could get a damn replay to load in under 2 minutes.

I think they were aiming for a happy medium between the two.
I also think they missed. Badly.

Aside from the splitting of the community, it appears that I haven't missed much. The S.S. Minnow is pretty much the same as ever.

I log on glb 2 every few days to spend the points on my hb, but since it doesn't matter how often you check in to work the build, it means almost nothing to me. I like that you have to be on it in glb1 and know what you're doing. Over there, once the player is built, you can come back 47 days later, spend all of your points and the player is the same as if you logged on every day of the 47 and spent the points that way...doesn't seem right to me

Yeah, they did this based off what myself and a couple of others suggested but they were a bit off.

yeah thats what i do. I have one CB. I log in once a week or so. Put all points into Speed and log off. Dont check forums, watch replays, or do anything else.

I bought a team and built a starting offense. The game is starting to pick up more now that the players can perform better. Coordinating is only slightly better than Casual in GLB1. Overall, I still play both to get my fix. The plays run fast on my laptop, so I'm not too sure what kind of pc you guys are playing on to make it slow.

- The new player-building system.
THINGS I HATE ABOUT GLB2
- The awful, confusing, cluttered, headache-inducing site design, fonts, sizes and colors.
- Coordinating has been nerfed to hell... I understand wanting to simplify things, but they took it way too far, and coordinating is what I have the most fun doing in GLB1. By taking away so many choices and options in GLB2, they also took away most of the potential for personality and creativity in gameplanning in GLB2.
- Replays are SLOW AS FUCK to load. They're damned-near impossible to watch on my machine at home. They load better on the new top-of-the-line computers I can use at work, but they're still pretty slow. And since I can't watch any replays, that means the only thing I like about GLB2 -- player-building -- is pointless, since I won't be able to actually watch my bot do anything.
Almost forgot...
- The fact that so damn many GLB1 players have abandoned GLB1 to go play GLB2, splitting the userbase and making it more difficult for either game to remain viable. If GLB1 dies off completely, I won't have anything to jump to, because I cannot play GLB2 in its current state. And that bugs me the most of all.

I'm just starting to try the game. I'm curious, is GLB2 really so bad? The graphics are enticing... However, I do prefer strategy, so would I regret it if I went to GLB2 instead?

well with the chance to use your account to spend flex on both games, you can play both at the same time, do the same thing in each game, and then find out which one you like better.
Yes I know you can't do EXACTLY the same thing in each game, but he can buy a team in each, make players, and then decide

Haha, well, I am a novice to this game, so I might not know the pros and cons (or perhaps only cons) of seeing humanoids on the field instead of dots. I guess I just like how the graphics in GLB2 makes it visually obvious if a receiver drops the ball or catches it (at least as far as I can tell), but again, I may just not know the benefits of dots yet.

The benefits of dots are that it's a LOT easier to tell where everyone on the field is in relation to everyone else, especially since the dots are viewed with a top-down view while GLB2's "bots" are viewed at a weird pseudo-angle from the side.
GLB1's dots certainly have their limitations, but if you're ever confused about what happened on a play, just start by reading the text at the top, since that tells you specifically what happened. Takes a little getting used to, but it's pretty easy to get used to.
