Oh and, fair play to BFM!

Hah, we've already played them

Good luck in your next game :thumb:

I am not a GLB expert on RBs but I the whole RBs suck this year argument made me do a little investigation. The data below seems to indicate that the RB was overpowered in some respect and people had built a RB to take advantage of it or gameplanned to take advantage of a hole in the sim. Season 7's sample is only 2 games but if the average YPC hold, it seems much more reasonable with average YPC of the top backs between 4.5 and 5. If you look at season 5 it is much more like this season. I saw one RB guy complaining how his RB sucked this year after being dominant last year. Well last year he averaged 9.1 YPC, this year 6.7. His carrer average is 6.4. For people to complain that they suck because RBs got nerfed seems silly.

Top RBs by yardage.

Cool...Imoh played the Scoregams who have a half CPU D-line...so take him out

Like I said small sample, but taking him out doesn't affect tghe basic point.

ONe thing I would put next to each of those RB's is the amount of carry's they had to get those yard averages.

GG, that was close one

All were between 250 and 350 except for the top 2 who were 450 1nd 560.

Bort should be focusing on the real "bugs" of the game rather than trying to make this game "realistic". It never will be, it's a wild goose chase. If there's a situation where the QB runs the wrong way? Cool, change it. Make the AI more user friendly? Fine. Add more plays and more OC/DC control? Love it. But by season 7, the underlying physics of the game should be stable. The idiosyncrasies of the game will be accepted and dealt with universally.

The major changes that continually happen in this game are just dumb from a marketing standpoint. However, if Bort and DD can't resist the temptation to tinker, then the pre-season needs to be longer than 2 freaking games.

I don't disagree with that. Keeping it a 'beta' gives them a license to do whatever they want while they cash the checks. That's why I stoppped putting money into it after contributing enough for 2 early builds in season 1 and watching them change radically every season. It should be free or they should be paying us for QA'ing the game if it's a beta.

Don't worry about us, we suck and won't adjust.


It would be a lot easier to get it done if you started working on it now instead of crying about your losses and blaming it on someone else.

No doubt BFM was in a world of hurt at the beginning of last season. Nothing was working. But rather than bitch about it and blame it on SIM changes from season 5 to season 6 we worked our asses off to improve.

We kept working on it through the offseason until we finally got a team in place that we believe can compete to win it all. We aren't just looking to make the playoffs this year. We won't be happy with anything less than a championship.

There are a bunch of great teams in WEPL BFM IS NOW ONE OF THEM

So stop bitching, start improving, and get ready for a season where you have to bring your best game each and every time your team goes into battle.

No, that's not it. We may have issues, but complacency isn't one of them.

GG BFM, not the reaming I had expected and some exciting moments even if the result was rarely in doubt.

GG bro... made it close at the end

I would have to say now that the real "shity teams" of WEPL are BFM and ECM, no doubt in my mind about it.
Them Mercs suck.









Grats to ECM for 7-0.
