Warrior General Games

After many seasons of playing with more than a handful of you, its time for me to hang it up for good.

The reasons behind this are the new changes to the game, in which I strongly, strongly oppose. As most of you may know I handle EVERY aspect of this team, and with all these new changes coming for next season this will only add to my workload. These new changes are taking the fun away from the game for me and turning this into a full-time job.

I signed up for this to be my stress breaker from my shitty job, and my nagging wife, and life in general. Now with the apparent addition of Catch to the rank of admins, this game will keep changing in a manner in which im not pleased with. Im strongly against what Catch and Bort are doing, by not asking their customers about changing the game. I personally shell out over 40000 flex each season, and now im done. I will no longer purchase any more flex, and when this season comes to an end I will not even log on, I will leave GLB entirely, because im so disgusted with the new changes.

It has personally been a pleasure and honor to work with each and everyone of you. We've had a very long and successsful journey together, and im saddened it will be ending this way. Anways if anyone is looking to purchase the team (in which I have ownership extended through S21 Day 40) please let me know.

THIS WILL NOT HURT US THIS SEASON, AS I WANT TO GO OUT WITH A TITLE, AND GIVE BORT AND CATCH A NICE FUCK YOU ON THE WAY OUT

If you have any questions please post here or you can even pm me!

Not sure which way I'm leaning with the changes yet... but it makes a one-man show more difficult, that's for sure. Long gone are the days that a thirty minute session could cover all your GLB needs... now you have to spend hours upon hours to prepare the AI on the big club, the finances for the farm clubs and train your personal players, which could take longer with the proposed changes... and I don't even have that much going on. Some of you freaks probably never get it all done.

I like what's going on in concept; just means more for everybody to micro-manage... and it seems like the variations can be so drastically one way or the other that if you build your players with certain specs and the sim shifts to nerf the exploit that's in vogue for the current season... well, you've just wasted six months and some Flex Points because that build won't be effective for several more seasons down the line.


... you may want to check in after two or three real-life calendar years, TC, the game may have changed to where the changes aren't so wide-sweeping and time-wasting.

I debated the following responses

I look forward to seeing your account on EBAY soon

and

I think GLB's player base has peaked and might be on the way down, not really sure. I know that you were someone that put a shit ton of time in on the site and the loss of your content will be missed by some, applauded by others.

It's going to get real tough for the 1 man armies. I finally went and got an OC this season to take some load off and now there is more being added. It's becoming less fun and more work then something I pay for should be. It's turning into a complicated version of NFL Street. With all the fakes and other shit you can do, morale swings are equivalent as "He's on Fire" in NBA Jam, and exploit blitzes it's just becoming less strategic. I'm not saying I'm bailing out, but it's getting pretty close to that time for me.

yea, We've always had an OC but i've handled pretty much every other aspect of the game. I just recently brought on a recruiter to help for the upcoming year but at this rate i'm not sure how much it will help. Don't have to worry really about EQF's anymore but 10times more financial stuff to be concerned with. will see how it goes another season and whether i feel i can adjust to it and be productive while not burning myself out.

At some point you just have to delegate some duties and bring in others who can handle some of the tasks of running a team. It was hard for me to do as I am a major control freak and want to handle every aspect myself. I still don't have a full staff running my team and doubt I ever will, but at least I try. Especially if I could find some dependable people I could trust I would expand further. There is a reason why real life teams have multiple managers, coaches, scouts etc.. because nobody could do it all alone. It's true GLB seems to be shifting towards a more complex system that is more time consuming especially if you want to compete at the highest level. They are however giving people the alternative to play at levels more appropriate for them I believe there are 4 levels Hardcore, Normal, Casual, Super Casual each has its own set of rules and each requires different amounts of dedication and planning. The real question here is are you just not up to the challenge anymore and this is a good excuse to leave the game, this is what you really need to consider and are you really leaving the game for the right reasons.

reply to Mordaloch


im leaving this game because I dont agree with how the changes are being done, why the changes are being done etc.

Trust me if it were for making the game seemingly complex as it seems it will be i'd be sticking around for certain. But I dont feel that I as a consumer should be forcefed this new changes without even having a say or a POLL!

I've dedicated alot to this game and I enjoy running the show by myself, but I will not bow victim to unnecessary changes.

How bout Catch works on making 2 pt conversions possible, how bout adding more offensive plays, how bout work on blocking FG's/XP's. How bout redoing the entire structure of GLB league-wise to make it competitive again. I havent had a true rival in about 2 seasons, and that was the Athens Gods, in a fairly non-deep AAA league. I guess I'd have to go way back to the Days of EEA8 when the season actually meant something, not just ok fellas we'll run basic AI for the regular season and then when the playoff come we'll actually gameplan like how it is now.

I truly regret not coming to the Pros now, and think that woulda cemented my teams legacy. But we decided to bring the farm team up after our S13 League Title and turn down the Pros. Besides that I dont have too many regrets. Although sometimes I appear to be very controversial so I do take some of tjhat back as well. I wish I could stay around but as the newest announcement states: Originally posted by Catch22
All changes (financial, training, and coaches) are now in their final version and Bort is going to begin programming efforts. As soon as he has user interface's available, we'll put something up so people can see what they look like and we will keep the community involved of all testing that takes place. Thanks for taking the time to discuss these changes with us over the past few days!

I cannot agree or will contribute to this management style, so I have to leave.

True, as someone paying for a product you don't have to stick around that is your decision. I personally had issues with the first wall of text method they tried to bring these changes about. I'm not willing to throw GLB away yet as I'm sure they don't want to chase people away either. In the end we pay their paychecks therefore we have the power, they can say final version all they want if the final version doesn't sit well with most of the people they will be forced to change it. Time will tell and I personally am willing to give Bort & Co. some more time and see what happens. All I'm saying to you is make sure this is what you really want to do so that you don't regret bailing on the game later.

Anyways good luck in whatever you decide to do perhaps we will see you back in a few seasons again or perhaps not.

that would be the ultimate protest. gut and release an entire pro league.
you know at least two dicks would hang onto their teams and get their gold/silver irophies.

what changes i haven't heard about anything

yep your rage quit will surely make them think twice. not.

how about instead you actually read things more and join a super casual team?

It's not a rage quit.
