They are talking about making some changes to morale. This is my suggestion, and I think it has everything that Pee Wee needs:

1) Confidence requirement is lower for younger players.
2) Different build options for players... confidence an 'option' for any player.
3) Doesn't give the O-line or the D-line an advantage.
4) Offers greater visibility of morale on a play by play basis.
5) 'Hero' chance allows big players to make big plays, but requires an investment in confidence.

I really don't care for most suggestions where it is scaled based on player's age.

There has to be some point to leveling up and assigning points.

Okay, so you would be happy with your Pee Wee player playing at half speed for most of the game because he doesn't have the same confidence as a level 60?

That is what they are talking about when they roll out the morale changes because they want confidence to scale everything.

The point in levelling up (under a scaled system) is that you can choose to ignore confidence through your entire career and concentrate on Speed and Agility, but it will mean that throughout your entire career you will struggle with morale penalties. On the otherhand, if you chose to continue to add confidence throughout your career, you would be able make decent confidence rolls.

Without a scaled system, you would never get good confidence rolls until you reached the pros, because that is the threshold that they would set. Unless you trained confidence first, in which case you wouldn't ever be fast enough, strong enough, or agile enough from day 1 to day 500.

the same argument could be made for how every single roll plays into every single skill.

so yea, I feel the same way I said above.

Agree with bleeds. This is just catering to folks who refuse to back away from thier "must reach 81 in first skill" mentality. Unbalanced builds should be punished for being unbalanced.

Honestly though... this all goes away if they just did away with ALGs.

Okay, but do you remember how bad the passing game was before Bort gave it a boost? You just haven't experienced a game that is catered to each level so you don't know how good it could be.

If the WR needed to have as much vision to see the ball coming as the CB needed, most of the builds out there last season would suck. You need 40 vision to try and defend a pass and 15 vision to catch one.

But, have it your way. They will rollout a Morale change that will only make things harder for Pee Wee.

No, what I'm saying is that if the level of confidence required is the same at level one as it is at level 70, it would be 'impossible' to survive the morale loss.

This. Morale should be a non-factor for Pee Wee since everyone really needs to focus on the other primaries. If you try to cap confidence right away on the O-line, you'll get reverse caked every play because you have no strength.

Actually, it would be just like WL

ed; except slower

Morale changes have been great this off season!!

I bought some new CEQ that = I don't give a fuck cup this season. Turns out to be the best piece on the market and firmly holds my sack up!

Good Luck Gold East! We might do this again in a season, 2 or 3 to start our journey up the yellow brick road.
We will take Av bids on how long it takes us to get back to Gold once we fire up the lights! LOL then again we might just see if we can stay in Copper the rest of the time and just enter tournaments and get our money's worth of .GIF's

That is why we play the game right? I am making .Gifs for the low price of 100$ I have plenty of time. Just PM for designs. This season 17 I have saved enough money not building or coordinating I was able to buy PhotoShop! Thanks GLB for freeing my mind and giving it back to me.

I think I would be complaining being in a league with 31 CPU teams. They are kind of stealing your 400 flex for a copper trophy.

Nah we are comfortable with that. I just hope we can find a way to lose. I guess I will make a total fail AI with screen passes and FB flare passes that seem to donk off the backs head even when they are wide open.

Maybe we can start a new league and see who can have the shittiest team tournament. Kick 60 yard field goals and stuff.
Lowest score wins!

Oh wait, I am already in that type of league.

We are not playing this season. Just keeping the team for when/if we do decide to start up again. I was hoping we would still be in Copper when we decided to get back active to try and win a trophy in each league and maybe a few tourney's since we wouldn't have to game plan every other day.

I found a way to complete those passes at about 90 %, only problem is you have to set tactics to 100 to 75 Bullet.

The current best team in our league is already over salary cap with 49 players! http://goallineblitz.com/game/roster.pl?team_id=7816 I guess what? They might lose the team and go CPU around game 12? That is if they sign to 55 man roster and max there contracts also?

Man this is going to be fun when we start the engine again.

I wonder how many teams GLB actually took back last season from Teams that went in "The red"
I would be willing to say 0
However I am not sure though, but I have not seen any bitch threads about an owner getting pissed off because he lost his team.

(Alright I guess it time for me to go into hibernation and into my Copper League Threads)
GAH! you know me I always look forward to making new enemies! ( I mean friends)
