Checkers, you may prefer it.

Complicated is a draw of the game, not a flaw.

It would be far far better for them to figure it out and get it balanced than for them to dumb it down.

^ This ^. +1

+1 To eviscerating VAs

The difficulty they add to adjusting the SIM season to season is not worth it. Less variables, more progress IMO.

-1 More and better VAs will not only create more viable builds, but screw up the sim more.

You take away VA's and then what? The people that are still left in this game that log in during the offseason to switch their 15 VA's can finally step away for good?

maybe they can spend that time learning how to run an ai

come on, checkers? i think running an ai in this game is way more complicated than almost any video game that i've ever played and v/a have nothing to do with that.

Eliminating VAs will knock many current endbuilds off-balance... but future builds will adapt.

Nice, but what would be put in place of it? Any ideas?

Bonus equipment maybe? And no jet packs or go go gadget anything, just more equipment in general I guess.

The OP doesn't really have a problem with VAs but a problem using them properly.

The same VAs are available to you as are to everyone else. So there is no advantage.

VA's were around before ALG's and archtypes correct? But the VA's were never adjusted to the fact that people can take their primary attributes past 100, so everything is just completely overblown. Scale the VA's back down to adjust to the new inflated attributes and builds.

weren't ALG's part of the original builds?

i thought VAs came much later than ALGs but before archetypes.

AS long as I have been in the game they have had ALGs.
