Did you boost your QB the first season like you did your TE?

Exactly, 5star. I should have refined my language to people screwed out of l72 through no fault of their own.

Oops GP1 was right Kurieg know what I did.


What?

Have you seen the later players of mine that didn't make that date? Those dots were part of an entire team that were created then for no other reason than that's when we managed to get organized.

There was simply no way for dots created in season 1 through like 8ish to know that Bort was gonna decide 441 days old = no more boosting. Please stop trolling.

Here's a great one http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1139610

33 boosts done. Will miss the cutoff by 1 day. Maxes at L71 with about 650-700 xp.

I have a dot I'm recruiting that is going to finish the season at D400, L65, 999/1000 XP. I'd really like to find a way to confirm he'll be able to get to 72...

Is this ON D400? He still gets 25 XP on the D400 to D401 rollover.

What's not fair is the arbitrary 440 day date that was established. People had no idea that was going to be in place when making season 5,6,7, etc builds.


This seems more of a valid point, but if I recall correct which I have been doing with less and less frequency lately, Bort had defined a set boosting schedule.


wrong

Nothing was put in place until season 9 for plateau and decline

No way season 5-8 dots new that Bort was randomly going to pick a number out of the hat and roll with it

Day 31 was the day to build for peewee...now that whole generation is fucked

Not to mention missed XP because of 255-0 blowouts which would be worth at least 1 level....


This this this this

Wasn't there a dd quote about 10 boosts per career.

I think that might have been tossed out as a possibility at some point. Pretty sure that was well after most of the season 5ish dots were rolled up, but I don't remember for sure.

I kinda doubt they realized just how thin the margin would be between those able to hit L72 and those not.

If everyone is playing by the same set of rules why should people that do better than someone else have it taken away from them?

In addition to that half of you back then built dots on day 31 to take advantage of the capped system. You reap what you sow.


Isnt this the same exact argument the SSB players tried using before they rightfully got nerfed to hell and back?

Just like plateau which increases the available high level player pool...this one change boosts it by another good %.

It makes the competition better at the plateau level. The game and end game has changed considerably over the past 12 seasons. The more players with similar choices/abilities the better the game is. The lvl 72 eq advantage is significant enough that I will have to likely avoid players that can't wear 72 gear. It is stupid to limit the player pool because of an arbitrary cutoff point...that was unknown when the players were built.

Agents spend a year building a dot boosting every season and they should not get to the end and be told too bad...you do not qualify for lvl 72 gear...we can't use you on our WL team. Players above that level lose nothing if there is more competition.

I would like to ask bort if when decline was developed that he had planned for players that boost every season but born on a bad date would miss lvl 72 eq? and be at a very significant disadvantage to the point that they can't play for good teams.

People are so counter productive in this game sometimes. Adding ~25% (swag) more valid dots to the high end player pool makes the game better period.

Everyone against this should stop thinking about your little realm for a second and think about what makes the game healthier.


No boosts. Just make Day 440 plateau eq available to any player over lvl 64. If you make lvl 72 before 440 you can put on eq early.

IMO it just makes the game better that this good amount of players is available at the top level. Everyone is all worried that their lvl74 dot is going to be counterfeited some how because a level 67 puts on an extra set of eq? This last set of eq is too critical not to allow all of the players in the fully boosted player base access. It makes the game better.

Not a bad idea, and would be a good compromise. Guys who actually hit 72-74 will have the extra SP and ALGs while not making them ridiculously better than players created in a similar time frame. That +4 to EQ is massive.
