"I'm going to cry about consequences for breaking rules that I know I'm breaking." Yeah, that's the worst thing about the game - me. News flash: you are not tortured-soul revolutionaries claiming that your heartfelt manifestos being suppressed by a tyrannical force dedicated to controlling the thoughts of the masses. You are just another person breaking just another rule. There is no deeper significance. You're probably not an idiot; don't act like one.

u mad bro?



As to the OP, I'm enjoying the game, still.

But also I may be a glutton for misery and can't really enjoy anything unless it treats me like shit..


Either way.. I'm still here



At least GLB doesn't sleep with your friends....

I think they will make some positive adjustments in the offseason. That is not an official word because they don't tell me this stuff in advance but just a very strong hunch. Part of the key to long-term success on this game in my opinion is not overreacting. You don't have to sell out and totally revamp your roster or AI just to try and take advantage of the exploit du jour to win in this game. If you do, chances are it's because you sold out previously to take advantage of last season's exploit du jour. Exploit may be too strong a word and I do sympathize with people who had a lot of STOPs because they should not have nerfed that nearly as hard as they did, but for others besides the STOP teams that got screwed, don't overreact. Build good players and be solid in every aspect of the game and you will have long-term success. That is my philosophy at least and it has worked for me so far.

Outside of banking up a bunch of STOP's...i dont see where people are coming from with conflicts in rosters due to sim changes...it is all in their head. Make the builds work, not the sim work.

TPat, I agree. Problem is, its taken 28 seasons for things to make football sense. My first team was built for football, not dotball. Finally, building players who make FOOTBALL sense will pay dividends. Its the whole 28 season thing that baffles me. Fortunately, I built a team this time that should cover all the bases unless Punters start doing end arounds (don't laugh, it could happen)/

I do too, it frustrates me to no end at times. If I didn't like it I wouldn't be here playing it.

Spot on

I think so too.
Any if I suddenly disappear it probably just means I quit like everyone else.

I still love this game. It's just that most people have become way too serious about it. I don't think GLB took the fun factor away. I think the userbase actually did that.

It went from focusing on winning your league to "win WL or nothing else matters". It went from watching your dot's notable plays in replays to becoming obsessed with the actual sim mechanics. We no longer compare our dots stats but rather their ELs and Player Value.
