I can't get behind "every position", but DE's are the exception in my mind.

I just read that the flex bonus is for players under 120 days. We are 160 so not going to help us. Hence, what can be done for teams like ourselves that are in that middle zone so to speak? If we decide to rebuild do we have to have the time and $$$ hit so drastically? Not asking for special treatment but asking that admin consider the 90% return of flex for all that decide to rebuild to support the new system. I also know these new dots won't reach us before anyone clever points that out. Know you guys all too well. haha.. Just my goal is to have a new shiny S15 model team with a RED TAG sticker attached.


just hang in there. When every dot retires during this offseason to build a new dot, your guys might wind up starting in the WL.

Terrible. And from past suggestions it doesn't matter what we say.

All this does is hurt good builders and prop up crap ones. Parity at it's finest

Parity is what makes the game better for the 90% of us that are not "experts" in the game. Without us, this game is nothing.

Why not?
How could it be abused, and not countered by tactics?

Edit: ok, so not necessarily P or K, but you get the picture.

It is why they are some of the most successful long term game developers in the market.


Exactly! I mean, I can wait another 10 years for Starcraft 2 cause God knows I've already waited 10 years for it. Thank God for successful companies taking their time!

no, it actually makes good builders better and gives them more choices in how they develop their dots. You just need to digest the information.

It looks like agents will have to learn how to build players all over again. The Archetypes are not going to guide them any better than before. To make things worse there will be less documentation of proven build types.

Also considering that as well. Decision, decisions. But good point for all teams in the elite caps.

or it will be awhile before you find the data or other players fixes to help make the corrections.

All that really means is those that live on GLB will have an advantage for a while again until everyone else catches up.
Doesn't make the changes suck though.

I'm not a fan of this at all. This is basically rewriting the past 14 seasons of building players, teams, and knowledge gained.
