It seem pretty obvious that these teams were just waiting to scoop a team and fill it with good players. I think there should be an. Age cap on first year pro teams until all teams are at level 79.
Forum > Suggestions > Come up with a better way to do pro
its not the fact that 79s are in reg pro, i even have a few because of holes that needed to be filled. But come on, you dont need to have 30+ 79s in reg pro... Such a fucking joke.
having a limit on 71-79s would be pretty awesome imo.

This guy
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2375155
Age: 312d old
lines up against my guy
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2485339
Age: 240d old
From his lack of gold bars I will guess his build isn't that great, However he has 62 more days of training, 6 boosts, etc etc etc.I don't think my guy will do well lining up against him unless his build is totally screwed up with that kind of advantage

He doesn't have 62 days more training etc etc. He has 40 more. You do not improve in any way while in plateau (day 281+)
Why don't you play some games, maybe even send them an instant scrimmage and see how things go.
If you are still gaining XP and reach level 69, you will get to boost to 72 and greatly improve your player, where the plateau player you linked will not get any better.

Maybe there should be a cut off date for buying a Reg Pro team below Competitive. No Reg Pro team can be bought between day 41 and day 1 of the regular season and remove the chem grace period. Obviously these owners/groups are waiting until after the leagues are set and then finding the weakest league they can to move to directly following the team movement.

Now that I think of it, that would be a good option for pretty much all leagues. Would really be good for PW as well. Force people to buy teams in populated leagues and not allow teams to be sold in the CPU filled leagues until the other leagues are completely filled. If someone tries to exploit by buying a team in the shit leagues and selling back their elite/competitive team their new team in the shit league automatically gets moved back to the league in which they just sold their team.
I know trimming the leagues would be much easier but it appears GLB is hellbent against contraction.

This seems like a low priority issue to me.
Firstly, it's the only league where this can happen, because of the age limits on other leagues. So we're talking 1 or 2 seasons of a dot's career, which is annoying, but by no means a big deal.
Second, there is a rule in place to prevent teams from doing this on purpose, so either it's teams just pulling in some random dots with really crappy builds or they are in violation of the rules and you can report it.
third, I do not see this as insurmountable. Take it as a challenge, really concentrate yoru gameplanning, and see what you can do!
fourth, even fi you cannot beat them, it gives you a chance to round out your team's builds correctly. Going up against better teams can be a learning opportunity, and yes, even when that team is just plain more talented. It can show you the most drastic areas you need to improve upon, and give you some insight you would not have otherwise had.
Sorry to make light of the situation, I understand that it's a legitimate complaint. But there has to be somewhere for the dots to go who can't make it in National Pro, and by it's nature it's going to make Regional Pro a little chaotic. My advice is to put your head down and bull through it, and use it as an opportunity to learn about your builds and sharpen your gameplanning. You'll have quite a few seasons after that with your guys at plateau where you can enjoy good strong competition.

The correct answer is 57, since that is the length of a season in GLB (48 days) + the 9 days of the 8th preseason.
They'd have to have some pretty butchered builds and some shoddy coordinating to have trouble in a league where they are 9 levels above the designed competition level. In other words, that would have to be the worst network imaginable.

This is one of the main concerns Bro and when the Dots are just rounding there Builds out and ready to do damage, they get hammered for 1or 2 of the few Seasons they have to make an impact.....But's it's no big deal,!!

Just make an old fogies league, where only Day 280+ players can play. If they (players/teams) don't want to play in the top competitive leagues then they go play in the old fogies league. Leave the developmental leagues to developmental players.
Top prize is an old grey bearded guy with a hickory cane - something that makes your trophy case stand out.

Two seasons is a almost a third of a year (114 days) you must be very dedicated to this game if u will just just to hang out all thru fall and most of winter before being competitive again.
I am just not that devoted

I am not trying to be whiny guys. It seems a couple folks really don't see at as a big deal to wait that long. You guys are much more dedicated GLB'ers then me. I play for the fun and waiting almost a third of a year to be competitive seems a bit much, especially when I will have to boost my guys and pay for my team during that time frame if I ever want to be competitive again. Add that with all the late night recruiting I will have to do and its just not worth it.
I am sticking it out this season, not sure if I will bother to boost or just retire my guys at the end of the season. If the guys on the team want to continue on I will. Most will probably leave at the end of the season though. Its getting
This wasn't a complain thread its supposed to be a suggestion just using myself and my own team as an example.
Again my suggestion, fix the pro league disparity.

you dont own a team, you dont spend weeks recruiting every season.

Dude, learn your people. nex has co-owned the South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice in WL/USA Pro for 28 seasons. Last season we sold the team to a friend and now coordinate. He did ALL the defensive recruiting for 27 seasons. He did ALL the defensive gameplanning. He did ALL the defensive VA set-ups and ALL the defensive build suggestions. He knows much more about owning a team and what it takes to be successful in this game than the vast majority of GLB.
He and I fully shared the ownership of the team, and he has owned teams on his own during that time that have won trophies. When you win anything above reg pro, you can talk like that. Until then...
He knows and I know what recruiting is like. It's a pain in the ass. it's terrible. But he has a point, even with lesser dots, you can overcome a LOT by VA set ups, tactics, and coordination. It will only take you so far, but you can play well above you APV.
In the grand scheme of things, 12-13 seasons where your dot has a chance to be competitive in it's age level, 1 season where you take your lumps isn't the worst trade off. Yeah, I would rather that there was a better system in place, but it's more important that they get the sim right first.
If coordinating is a waste of your time, then just build dots and get them on a team with coordinators that know what they're doing.
