Originally posted by The Avenger LOL, some might not be as good at capping is all. The point is its "cookie cutter Archetype" and once we choose one of 4 CB's you better stick to it, no one wants to recruit a rogue builder when these cookie cutter Archetype's are working.
right now, you better stick to your highest ALG's if you want to play at the highest levels. That's not going to change. What will change is that you get to pick the Major / Minor set that makes the most sense to you out of those offered. That is currently not an option.

Blocking, Strength, and Agility are the main attributes for all OLineman. If you give those three as majors, no one would ever pick the other two archetypes.
Like the idea of having a tag on your player that says Deep Passer, elusive back, etc etc. Think it's more realistic that players don't change midway through their careers. But I agree this will create much more cookie cutter builds within each archetype.

Originally posted by Catch22 My apologies - it's stated quite clearly in the OP that this is a discussion thread, not a suggestions thread. I've also stated at least five times that we would not be taking a poll or voting on this. I was being funny and it obviously wasn't to you. Sorry...
I've already spent well over 100 dollars this season! I will have to buy more flex b4 it's over. I should get to throw out my opinion/suggestion! I spent two seasons planning out a team, only to have to redo it all over again this ffseason! I will say this again, its getting to be that when a problem arises instead of tweaking it a bit, the problem is being overcompensated for when it gets fixed. That overcompensation is creating that many more problems.
Yes this deal has alot well thought out ideas but its gonna open up another huge can of worms that alot of us just don't think is worth the gain of this fix.

Then why even ask for opinions? Too humor us? Did you learn that in customer satisfaction class?
Just make a post saying this is how it's going to be. That's how it's always been.
I never asked for opinions. This is a discussion thread, not a suggestion thread. I'm more than happy to listen to your opinion and answer your questions, but this isn't about trying to change the archetypes plan and the OP is pretty clear on that (I don't think anyone reads the OP from the sounds of it).

We've spent significant time looking at and figuring out a way to improve the way that players are developed and have come up with a player archetype system that will do just this. This is going to be a long post so I am going to stick around and answer questions for the next couple of hours. Don't turn it into a whine session - if you have a legitimate concern, voice it in a constructive manner and we'll discuss it. This is a huge game changing system and while we've tried to address everything, it is possible we missed something - this is why we're opening it up for discussion now rather than just introducing the improvement. However, we are not taking suggestions to changing archetypes or adding new ones. If you see an unbalanced archetype, by all means bring it up and we'll look at it.
To be honest, this attitude is what reminds of DD (and I am not convinced that you have another GLB identity as DD could have many). I confess that as I read what other people write in here I am understanding this better and I am not as negative as I was at first. But your arrogant and condescending attitude really is not a good way to sell the idea. This post is another example of it. Of course Bort can do whatever he wants as he owns this game. But I stopped buying Flex when it became clear to me that as a customer I wasn't respected. The way this is being introduced and your attitude that really you aren't interested in taking suggestions to improve doesn't make feel like things are any different. I'll keep playing with my existing flex and waiting to see if the customer service improves. One can hope...
