I'd made my mind up to just shut up about the problems I have with this game, and then I saw this:

- Big Heart has been updated to deactivate when you are with 7 points, to be more in the original spirit of the VA. This change will go into effect for sims in two days on day 10. Because of this, I've added the ability to reset just this VA if you have it and don't want it any more, up until day 10, one time. If you have it, the reset link will show up in the usual place.

I'm sorry, but is this a fucking joke? I mean, really, what the hell is the point of even making such a minor, dumb ass change? When I read that Big Heart was going to be changed, I thought cool. Bort will dial it down to just a 15% bump to all skills. Sure, it will still be over powered and reward failure, but at least at that lvl maybe games with players having the skill won't turn into an absolute complete joke....Again, I learn the same valuable lesson I have so many times before. Never underestimate the power of stupidity. I mean, WTF?!?!?! Why even waste the time to make such a trivial change?!?!?!? This does just shy of absolutely nothing at all.


Again, I think Bort failed to realized what the root of the problem is. It's not that 7 point or 3 point that makes this VA so ridiculous, it's the 30%. If something this simple can't be fixed, how could I possibly believe that the overall VA can be modified into something good.

On a side note, if you reset VAs for some, reset for all.


In my opinion it is not even the 30% that is the problem, it is that the VA is completely illogical. Who gets better by losing?

I agree with both of you on this. I'm sorry, but 90% of the time or more, when a team goes up by 14, the other team slits its own throats, either by essentially quitting or by increasing their risks to the point of cutting their own throats.

Unfortunately, Bort doesn't want realism. He wants everyone to have "fun", no matter how badly they suck at this game. OK, I can live with that, but their should be at least a somewhat reasonable limit to that.

LOL, very true, but apparently Bort thinks so. Some of the logic Bort uses has convinced me that he has never played real (organized) football, probably just an arm chair quarterback that plays Tecmo and Madden and thinks he is a football expert. Football is more than drawing up some diagrams.

Nerfing big heart doesn't in any way warrant a complete VA reset.... Logic fail imo....

I don't think you understood what I meant. If some players are getting a reset due to they have put points into big heart, then they would have an edge on other players since they have 3 additional games to see how other VA works. For example, I would not be investing in ball hawk had I known it would make my CBs lounge toward the LOS. So if Bort is allowing a reset to "some" of the players, he should give everyone else a chance as well.

You misunderstand the reset my friend...

i.e. The players who have big heart will have a reset button, which when pressed will only reset the VPs allocated to big heart. This is a good step, and I hope in the future bort only allows partial resets specifically on the VA's which he alters.

I thought VA's were meant to offset the addition of AE that the older vets didn't get into at the beginning so this was to give them their rightful advantage.

Sorry took so long to respond.

Just put a ban on them now until sim is fixed and putting them back wont screw it up again. Va's adds a lot to the game and it would be a shame to let a great idea go to waste.

about as close to 'realism' as this sim currently is.
