Everybody wants to gamble but nobody wants to lose. The point of rolling means you are taking a risk. If all the rolls were good, everyone would have to roll. As is, you don't have to. The only thing I think might work would be to increase the price of rolling, to offset more valuable items in each roll.

No one goes to Vegas and says "Dude I hope I lose my rent money playing the slots. That would be sweet."

The +5% PD, yeah that's a great piece. I wouldn't say it's retire worthy, definitely hampered. Wait until you get to level 51 or 61 and shop again. You may make up for the lost BT. Wouldn't go crazy. Maybe roll 3 or 4 times at 51 and 3 or 4 times at 61.

Also, with that +5% PD piece you saved 56 BT over building. So you are really only down 14 BT from shopping.

Cool, thank you for the advice man.

Yeah, but the ones that don't realize it's a possibility and safeguard against it, most likely will eventually.

Maybe not, but why add a stupid bonus token money pit like that? Sick sense of humor adding that.

It's not a money pit, at least for me and it seems many others. I end up ahead with a dot, more often than I don't. Sometimes ahead enough to allow me to Multi for almost another full season.

No problem, glad to help.

I completely ruined this player just now: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=3801129 I rolled 61 times and only on the 61st did I find a blank +3 speed piece. During all that time I only found one blank +5% break tackle piece as well. I understand the risks of playing the odds, but I'm beginning to think that some players might actually be bugged and flagging as a different position than they really are in the store. I have never ever seen break tackle pieces be that rare when rolling on a HB. Even the +2% and +3% ones only came up a couple of times.

Yep, I have an O-lineman that I rolled about a dozen times for. He rolled nothing but break block %, + tackling, force fumble%,and big hit. It's as if the store thought he was a D-lineman.

I messed up my HB the same way and thus have only 2 pieces of AEQ (what a waste!). BTW, didn't you violate your rule in this thread of rolling 3 times every ten levels?

i haven't had any troubles rolling as of late however I do find +3 speed pieces to be quite rare.

That rule only applies while on the way up. Once you're at 71 there's no point in waiting any longer because you're at the maximum number of pieces per roll.

They're really not. I have quite a few blank +3 speed pieces on defenders. Plus, the HB was rolling blank +3 pieces in just about every other attribute multiple times. It's just weird to me that in 488 chances, +3 speed and +5% break tackle each only came up once. And actually, in those 488 chances there was only one other piece with +3 speed and anything else, which had First Step on it and therefore wasn't something I wanted. After a while I was just continuing to roll to accumulate data on how much rolling it would take.

I haven't made HBs but I am convinced WRs have odds stacked against them rolling for equipment. Any other non-glamour position easily rolls some good piece within 3-4 rolls. WRs can roll strictly defensive or blocking pieces a dozen times times before maybe rolling something from the SA tree. I don't remember ever getting a 5% piece in anything worthwhile. I'm only buying WR pieces from scratch from now on.

I really feel like the rolls are weighted against your build's strong suits. If speed is your main attribute, I rarely see +speed pieces. If I have nothing in catching or blocking, it offers me +catching or blocking. Seems like the rolls try and "balance" builds out where they are deficient.

Guess you roll more deflect pass and make tackle piece than break tackle.
So will you support redo shopping roll system?

No, it has nothing to do with that. The store is coded by position, it pays no attention to builds or even archetypes. I'm just wondering if there is a bug that has certain players flagged as the wrong position.
