So why have the player builder at that point? So people can prove they're better at math and/or more persistent and can squeeze out some more SP value?

A player builder does nothing but accentuate the dumbest part about the build process.

Oh, hey, give us 20 dollars, and sit down for two hours making a player, but if you accidentally spend points in the wrong place he is worthless, go retire him.

Thats the other side of insta dots...flex needs to be half the price & zero refund (at least on insta dots). You'll also cycle thru a lot more stale flex that way and might even surprise yourself with how many people need to buy a little more, then a lot more.

Anybody that wants insta dots doesnt care that much about the mid level leagues. Usually they dont even have an AI set while they are on autopilot thru those levels. You dont have to abandon those levels, but you have to do everything to keep the plateau levels as competitive as possible. I dont see why you can't emulate the VPB (or downright steal it in the name of abandonware) but whatev...slight penalty to insta is the best compromise (but again, IDK why there needs to be one).

And anybody who threatens to quit because of instadots (a) wont and (b) isnt important.

how is this different from regular build process other than hoping people forget something and mess up?

You're right, the regular build process is pretty flawed as well. That's why we improved on it for GLB2.

If we make changes to GLB Classic build process, it's going to be to improve on it, not try to build around the old arcane and broken aspects of it.

no penalty but maybe cost a tad more for insta

improved on it?

lol, how ?

Ahh lets just drop the subject, it was already confirmed that glb is not going to develop the game any further. Play with what we have all.

If you are building 50+ dots for next season...and want all of them to be perfect mathematically...knock yourself out. Spend an hour per dot or whatever. I can assure you I wouldnt, just as I dont build perfectly optimized dots now. I have too many to be bothered with such crap.

But why the hell do u care if thats what they do? If anything, errors and the like mean they retire & rebuild. Or certainly if it happens during the build page, hit "clear build" before submitting the flex. Not an unpossible thing to mitigate bro.

Why scrap the game that has more dots and teams? GENIUS!

More dots and more teams isn't exactly a wringing endorsement for a game that has been established for over 5 years. Especially when you look through each league all the way down from rookie to pro and realize there is about a leagues worth of teams all the way until regional pro. At that point you get an established plateau period of 5 seasons.

Not only do you need to career boost in GLB2 to have more than 2 seasons plateau, but you only end up with 4 total if you do.

Add in to that every level of GLB2 is competitive because there is no forced ALG's muddling the build process and forcing you towards min maxing. So people actually don't mind resetting and starting over from scratch. They actually enjoy doing so because the lower levels are actually fun.

I never realized till just now that the cornblade account was created in 2010, because I never looked till just now.

So your getting rid of the skill bonuses on EQ and balancing the sim mechanics as well?

The lower levels in TheDuece seem identical to the highest level. At least to me.

They both are sewage

I mean ya, your sprites don't get bigger or anything. of course they all look the same.

Because it's a football game, not a math simulator. Sorry, your player sucks, your math wasn't good enough.

At least with the current build process you get to play and adjust as you go. Rather than just sitting down and mathing it all out at once, at that point you may as well get rid of the math.

GLB2 is for kids apparently. Coming from GLB1 and being 35 years old (at the time) I couldn't figure it out.

Been with GLB1 since season 1 (with some breaks in there) and I don't imagine I'll move on.
