The game suffers from the current non-parity where in the better dots consistently sign with the teams that have done well, which leaves poorer dots for teams that have lost, meaning they are hard pressed to improve and win.



This suggestion is based on the assumption that teams that lose will continue to lose becuase somewhere in some reality there is this large turnover of elite dots that they will never be privy to because of their poor record.

What this suggestion does not take into account is the fact that majority of "better dots" are typically built for specific teams or intended to be utilized by various teams within a network or affiliation. It also doesn't account that bad teams in most cases are respective of their poor records becuase of a combination of multiple factors that include a grouping of poorly built dots, lack of offensive and defensive game plans, lack of build orientation and general lack of team organization.

This game is not all that hard to be successful at. Those words don't mean that you don't have to work at it to be successful, and its obvious many teams are poor for the reasons mentioned above. They also dont mean that its going to be easy always win championships or make it to the world league, but as mentioned by a previous poster outside of the nat pro, wl, and elite leagues even sucky teams can have great seasons due to the lack of overall competition.

This suggestion also doesn't take into account that their are too many teams as it is and their have to be just as many bad teams every season as there are good teams. Parity can only go as far as putting teams onto an equal playing field. If you cant field the players, that is your own fault.

@OP, it's hard to take your suggestions of parity seriously when you seem to be motivated by the fact that you have too many teams of your own.


Seem to be only because of your presumptions.

I make ideas about games. Its what I have done since games were played with dice, since the 1970s.

It has nothing to do with my own interests. It has to do with liking to improve games.

This game has the problem set forth in the OP. People post about it often. I was motivated to post this thread because of another persons thread about balance....not my teams. My teams are finished, 52 and 52 rosters with my own dots to fill the 6 openings if need be.

This has to do with GLB. Not me.


The Bolded part is the issue...the people aren't postign about it...they are whining about it.

I run 3 2nd tier teams...we have always made playoffs and are lucky to win a Gold here and there...only made WL once...got smoked while we were there...and I have lost so many Pro League CC games I can't even fricken count anymore!!! But at least I ain't running a 5th rate organization like Gman was!

Yet I know the only way for me to be better than the opponent is to outbuild and outplan the opponent.

You put this in place and here is what you get...

1. Less people playing the game...because it is the "Friendships" that keep a LARGE majority of the agents here playing the game...not the stupid Gif Trophies.

2. You still have the same top 64 teams who are consistently at the top of the game and taking a large majority of the gold...not because of your "Parity" but because they work their butts off to get there and stay there!

So I guess if I just stare at the computer and log 4 years of this game I should receive as much success as the people who worked their asses off and worked their way up in this game?

Sounds like most under 30 americans nowadays...want it all handed to them and don't know how to work for everything they get. I suppose next you are gonna tell me using any kind of discipline on my children is a bad thing right...instead I should always pat them on the back and say you shouldn't do that or maybe you will get it right next time eh?

Here is one for you...what you are saying is it should be an NFL requirement for me be on the New York Giants Super Bowl Champions because they have too many good players and are over the effective level of the NFL...so they must take me on and sign me to an amount of money which is obviously worth more than I am...SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!

I dont believe there are lots of 0-16 teams who actually have human dots and actually play GLB.

Don't know about that. My Wolves have had a regrettable season or two.

You over state the point, but it is without question that some quality dots will not sign with less than stellar performers. Just check the effective levels of the top teams in a Pro League and the bottom dwellers. Its not a myserious mythical force I speculate upon, its there in black and white.

Yes it does. First off there are quality dots in free agency. I have spent two weeks staffing nine teams, seen more than a few.

Secondly, regardless of what they were built for, if a team succeeds and its dots are uber enough at some point they may want to shed some due to the salary cap, putting those dots on the market unless the agent wants to retire and waste his flex. Either way the Uber Dot team is weakened and if the agent decides to play out the dots career, he will make some other team better.

So yeah, the idea covers that aspect completely.

Yada yada. Been much discussed. Truth is the game is driven by dotpower. See EL rankings and League Rankings for the aforementioned black and white evidence.

Not saying that better dots on their team and worse ones on the higher quality clubs will make the lower competence teams win out. But they would be more competitive. And that is the entire point.

Again the league standings suggest otherwise. Its all easy if you have the dots. If you dont, its hard.

That there are other problems with the game, and there are, is not a reason to not try to do what we can with what we have.
