for sure they are. I know of several Pro teams that have used the Presets to play league games.


But playoffs?


if they make the playoffs using presets? why change? But I am a real OC who uses the OAI like it was intended,

Because a lot of teams don't gameplan game by game in the regular season, in the playoffs they do.

GLB started on the premise of no OAI so saying GLB sold out to the casual part of the game is pretty lol.

People like casual because not a ton of work is involved after the team is set up, you don't have to sign your life away to snag one of the 10 coordinators in the game, and you don't have to face ghuffman or madmustaff 11 times in 4 days.

People like regular because their specialty players can be used in the proper way and it brings out a bit more competitiveness as it revolves around less randomness in playcalling and scouting to a certain degree.

They both have their place in GLB.

Yep, remember when there was no casual. Game was simpler. Co-ordinating didn't involve spending half your week changing inputs and re-building faulty AI's. Co-ordinators didn't burn out left and right. Good times.

The people that complain about lol-casual are often the same people that complain that the game is too damned complicated for the new user to grasp without becoming frustrated and quitting. And now you have AI's out there with hundreds of inputs and the urge for newer people to jump into this aspect of the game is basically dead. And you wonder why people drift away and burn out?

I have done both before and am starting back up a regular team this year again. I'm reminded this off-season just how much of a timesink and a PITA it is to build new AI's from the ground up. So enjoy the view from your high perch there OP. The ground is racing closer and closer every day. I remember the early seasons very well, back when the learning curve wasn't so steep and you could actually jump into this game and learn it in less than six months. Enjoyed that.

Maybe if the game were a bit more casual and a bit less complicated we could all enjoy b_tching about it in the forums a bit more. Now excuse me, back to pouring over inputs and watching this place slowly die...........

Enjoy the lulz.....

I like the Casual Pro team I play for. Some of my dots could be good in WL but why change leagues if you have a good thing with the team your on. I don't coordinate and I don't have the time to so Casual works for those people like me that still get good sims and enjoyment from their dots. If I had the time I'd own a team again and learn how to coordinate but its what it is.

Casual came out later and was broken up to different leagues as owners wanted Pro and etc like reg teams.Casual was for people that wanted to own a team but didn't have a ton of time nor like to spend hours working the Ai or making up play books etc.It was a more relaxed way to own and play ( plus it brought in more cash ) and still have more time.
