I find it hilarious. I've developed a respect for HHW after competing with them but let's be honest here, these guys (HHW) were the biggest I strong exploiters in all of GLB for 3-4 seasons when that play was overpowered/broken. If HHW had a p back I guarantee you there wouldn't be any crai coming from them because they weren't craing back when we they ran the same play over & over for ever. Back in USA AAA when others were complaining their basic response was, "deal with it, adjust your builds." Now it's crai, crai, crai. Shoe's on the other foot muthafuckas!



im just surprised that with all the players created for these Wang teams that an elite power back didnt come out of the fold...


Or better yet, recruit one in the off season. I mean, how hard should it be to find a running back when you run the ball is much as they have/do. Everyone should have known that p backs were overpowered in S7, we at MEM got the memo.


We prefer balanced builds over extreme builds that could be nerfed at any time, that's all. We are successful at running the ball because it's a team effort, not based on one RB. You can put any decent running back in our system and he will do well.

datong, most combo HBs can become power HBs with a simple eq. switch and if power HBs get nerfed, they can be balanced or elusive HBs.

TBH, our team is build around running the ball, couple of seasons ago we could have ran most running plays and people still couldn't stop us. We ran over everyone all the way to our first 2 championships before the advanced AI came out, and we ran over most people after SI was "nerfed". To call us exploiters of the strong I play shows how much you really know about us. Calling HHW exploiters of the SI is like calling MEM exploiters of overload, the fact is just like MEM built its offense to have a great passing attack (great pass blocking OL, QB and 5-6 top notch WRs), HHW built its offense to have a great rushing attack (great run blocking OL, run blocking TE and FB, couple of top notch HBs and good blocking WRs).

I don't like nerfs, I think Bort should leave it up to agents to figure things out. But when there is an obvious bug in the design of the game, it should be fixed.


I dont know about after season 3...but MEM was always built to run the ball before Drago really started performing and then they became great at both through great recruiting...they used to lead the league in Pancakes with about 3 different guys...you dont get that building your guys to just pass block.


We didn't play the Monkeys until like season 5, so I'm not familiar with what they did before that. But they were a great passing team from season 5-season 7.

I know, I'm not calling for a "nerf" in PBs because we don't have one. There are some obvious design flaws with the PB right now that I think should be fixed, that's all. I don't think what I've stated so far are unreasonable. But it's hard to carry on an intelligent conversation in GLB sometimes without people trolling.

I agree Powerbacks need nerfing, I was just saying you could have a PB without having to get a player who if PBs were nerfed, would be totally ineffective.(lets all be honest, Bort usually nerfs something to complete ineffectiveness because he overdoes the nerf)

I have had the liberty of playing in leagues with both of you guys early on...if one can call that a liberty...sadly both yall passed us up as we were notorious for choking in the playoffs...

but i fully understand what both teams were when they played in our leagues anyways...

We felt like a balanced offense was a better fit for a 40+ agent team and became a 50/50 team towards the second half of season 3. We wnet 11-5 in the regular season before getting hot and wining the gold.

Yeah, we were also pretty happy with the guys we have coming in. We think they would fit into our system pretty well, of course PBs would fit into any system pretty well right now.

Also we had no idea the PBs would get better this season. We did ok against PBs last season, and this off season we spent most of our boosts into strength and tackling. My SS have 10 more strength than last season and my LB has 10 more tackling than last season, yet this season both of them are missing more tackles than last season, go figure.

I think that other than stamina, which seems to have had little effect against you guys (although it could be your morale was equally crappy with Csonkas stamina by the end of the game), that there is no nerf needed for powerbacks.

The idea that carrying should be more important than strength for breaking tackles is laughable at best. What do you think is going to do more damage - the back who has great skills with shifting his ball carrying hand and uses great technique, or the back who can squat 600 lbs and bench 400 lbs.

It's obvious to me what the problem is. A PB nerf isn't needed. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.

I would agree about the carrying thing, too bad that carrying is more important til bort decides it isn't.

So you've adjusted for 1/2 a season with two players while they built their PB that way for 8 seasons. Yeah, you should totally be caught up by now.

And to the OP/topic line... what kind of cement do you mix for a living (on Sundays no less) where you can't check a computer at work.

If what you say is true, then all the power lifters would be great running backs in the NFL and all the Olympian power lifters should be getting offers from the NFL. Unfortunately, track stars will become decent receivers before power lifters become good running backs.

1) my players were not unbalanced build before, it's not like they were terrible builds that needed to be adjusted. Last season my SS had 3 missed tackles in 45 tries, which I believe is on par with that of MEM's SS. My LB had 4 missed tackles in 43 tries, which is on par with The Legendary Super Saiyan Broly.
2) I'm simply making an observation that sometimes things don't work out as people would have expected.

As far as adapting, we have adapted with all the changes in the GLB since season 2, so I'm not worried. I'm glad we played MEM this early in the season, we'll be fine come playoff time.

I started to skim through the threads and saw the toxic spewing from those guys. Kinda sickening, but funny all at the same time. They went from personal insults, to insulting my player builds, to insulting the team to actual believing that 70 stamina is the reason Csonka is such a weapon as a halfback.

What they don't man up to is that powerbacks are broken. Kinda funny, but hey to each his own I guess. Oh and to whoever said his stamina is the factor for his success is wrong. We run equal plays for all of our guys on our team, so the stamina dropoff is nothing.

Funny to watch people try to argue it though. Please continue with the hilarity though, makes for good reading.


Bolded the funny part.
