The item and training stuff has literally taken only a few days to put together, and it will help increase the interactivity for the players, who drive the game just as much as the teams if not more. We have seen an increase of newbies trying the game, and getting bored in a couple days because they don't have anything to do. It's important to try and hook them in and keep them playing or there will be no one to be on all the teams. "Big picture" here.

I spent pretty much all of last season working on fixes and updates to the sim, if you didn't notice all the bug reports and such going on. I've also spent a bunch of time recently setting up and working on servers to keep distributing load.

I wish we could fix teh football mechanics and bugs of teh game before we get new cool magic Helmet and gloves. The items are cool just other things are more important and need to be worked on before items.

+1 ty for stating the obvious brotha!


+2, the diehards in this game are football guys. I like RPG's too and can grind it out with best of them but the ingame SIM is MOST IMPORTANT!!!

The main reason people want to play a football sim is to see what kind of stats their build puts up otherwise very few would want to play the game.

I'd disagree with that. The main reason people want to play is to win. I have players on my team that could care less about how much playing time they get or what their stats are... they want to win.

You and the other detractors aren't going to win this argument. There are many more people that are going to embrace and like these changes than those that do not. Why not just embrace the changes and enjoy the game for what it is... a game. If you don't like it, no one is making anyone stay here. People have already left, more people will leave, but as long as the majority is pleased (and outside of the gutting issues I think the majority are) the game is going to go on just fine.

If ALL that concerns you people is more intricate training options then why even have a football sim? We could change the format to a baseball sim, a tennis sim, a body building sim... It wouldn't matter. I think it's great that Bort added all of that stuff, I do. I think it's great that we have the communal team equipment fund, I like the Stamina changing to in-game only, I like the training changes... I like everything. I am just shocked that, as much effort as went into this season's updates, I am still going to log in to watch my game film and not know what passing plays my team will run until I see them.

Nicely put. That would give people, who do not have as much, more time to do other things than scout.

Offensive AI plays have constantly been regarded as more complex than people realize, as it comes at a cost of offensive/defensive parity. If you guys want more Offensive AI options like I do, get proactive and start submitting plays and ideas to Bort.

I feel sort of like a d-bag to just start e-mailing bags of plays to Bort when he hasn't asked for my help. If he wants plays I can send him, tonight within about 15 minutes, a PDF file with 4 run/pass plays from every existing formation in the game. But, really, what good is that if they are called up randomly by the AI?

If you're serious, send them over to goallineblitz@gmail.com and I will take a look!

A teams were given out. I got a friend who's suppose to be on the list so he can do a slowbuild team but i checked his profile and didnt get a A team so will there be a Canada BBB Bort? When? I sure hope so with a LV13 cap

Only players who do nothing have found nothing to do. I've carefully and lovingly crafted an excellent player who now can fall prey to some dolt who happened on some "rare item".

These "rare" items will not imbalance the game. A extra +1 to vision is hardly going to invalidate your hard work.

I do understand the complaint about this not being 'football' based but they are related to the game. There are no magic items of teleportation, just additional bonuses to your attributes and SA.

Ok...so all your going to be doing now is sitting here watching ur player train after he has all his fancy new equipment then you are just going to be sitting their grinding it out all day waiting for a rare item to come...my problem is i dont want my team to lose over something like luck...this should be about the best teams with the best strategies and players winning...adding the new playbooks and plays like the people are talking about is what needs to be addressed first...boo hoo you only have players...be a GM and help out ur TEAM because this is a TEAM sport or go play something else...its unfair to the GMs or people that spend time game planning or on scouting or any other realistic FOOTBALL related things that want to win by them being involved and having to work for the perfect gameplan compared to winning solely based on who has the most money and best equipment...its the complete randomness and messing around with winning and losing that irks me...the die hard football people that spend so much time coming up with gameplans and stuff...(the people who spend the most time on here anyways) are going to be pissed when they get beat by something thats totally out of their control...someone can handle losing when the other team out played or game planned them but losing because the dominant guy with a bajillion special everything caught some BS pass on 5 of ur teams CBs all at the same time then stiffarmed 3 dudes at once and ran into the endzone with his rocket skates of +50 speed on....someones gonna get pretty upset about that...its the same thing in other games like madden or NCAA when they CPU or opposing player makes some BS play like knocking the ball down with out even looking at it or your corner not covering the holes in the zone because he ran at the QB with no help behind him leaving the WR WIDE OPEN for a TD....stuff like that is going to piss people off when you take winning and losing out of thier hands

oh goodness, Bort just put up an e-mail address. gmail's servers are about to crash.
