But just to reiterate, this goes way beyond the owner's shorts being steamed and is as much or more about the players who are finding seating limited because some damned android has his locker.


This the one part of your argument that I simply do not agree with at all. Whether CPUs were good, bad or ugly, no humans were going to be on my team this season. None were going to be on evileyez's Hellas Hoplites team. We were parking our teams in Reg Pro for different reasons (I know this because I have talked to ee about it), but neither reason would have led us to have human players, regardless of our success or failure this season.

When I demoted Devonport to Regional Pro, it was not to win a trophy. It was because I did not want to give up a team that I have owned for 16 seasons and might decide to start back up. Have I enjoyed having CPU players that actually do what the gameplan says to do? Yes! However, to be clear, CPU player quality did not cost a single human a roster spot on my team or any of the other CPU teams that I have talked with. If they announce that they are adding a Chem hit and increasing the attribute penalty to 30%, I will still trot out my CPU players next season.


Fair enough. But if you and other CPUers continue to have success with it, or even moderate competitiveness, you will see more people doing it and not all of them will just be marking time.

I would think anyway. Human nature being what it is. Its easier, cheaper, and still fun they will think. Its not a difficult task to see how thats going to make more folks try it out.

And I can see the draw in it. But I just dont know if this becoming a "thing" would be good for the game in the long run.

GLB would probably been more successful if it originally was set up so everyone owned a team and the rosters were already filled.

Only in PW. Other leagues do not matter!

3) Things also get really crazy when an all CPU team plays a team with just one or two human dots... if those dots are really good, the opposing CPUs adjust up to their level--if they are really bad, they adjust down, but the CPU dots (95% of the roster) on the team with the one or two humans have no one to adjust toward, so stay at whatever inherent level they have. So the best way to beat an all CPU team is to have 1 bad human dot (the opponents will scale DOWN to him) and a bunch of high level CPU dots (who won't scale to their opponents).

Wow, really? Might have to try this!

Not sure if thats serious or kidding, but its possible really.

GLB could have gone anywhere from Owner Dictator building his players on his own

Or players being coaches and players in server own teams.

Or what they did do.

I am not sure which would have been better.

The only things I think definitely would have been better would be 1) Fixed Monthly Fees rather than the pay to play set up that makes it look like money wins even though it doesnt, and 2) full documentation with more transparency as to the game mechanics so people are not guessing and wasting cash on bad guesses or advice or trying to apply common sense to a system devoid of same.

I was serious, tbh.

This is a fucking joke.

12 human controlled players vs 52 human controlled players and the 12 win the league championship

And GLB wonders why they are losing agents.

I promise I will not spend anymore on this fucking sham of a game

If you are refering to this team ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/roster.pl?team_id=6929 ) , exaggeration does not help your case when discussing this issue. They have 46 human players and 9 CPU players. 46 is alot bigger than 12. If there is truly an issue with CPU player strength, the facts need to be present accurately in order to convince the powers that be that there is a problem. They and most of the player base are convinced that everything is working as intended, and can find proof to support that.

Personally, I have seen results that make me think CPUs are a bit too good and cases to think that they are right where they should be. I really don't know which is right at this moment, so I am not picking sides.

Ah. Not sure how I missed that game when I was looking thru his teams.

looks to me like the cpu team had far superior game planning. after watching it, i'm surprised the score was that close.
