I feel like the sim was way turned down to make room/balance the game assuming everyone had 25% vis conf, going forward this will allow for builds to actually matter a bit more, also means we're probably going to get coaches - - Which will essentially be mentor 2.0 5 different ways. To each his own I guess, I just no for a fact mentor didn't work in some cases.

Effective next season, the Mentor VA will be changed to a limit of one mentor per position"

so we can't split up the 15 VAs between more than one player?

My biggest concern is vision checks on the defense. They're going to need a substantial bump to their base score to accommodate for losing 17.5% vision. Seems to me the sim was sorta "balanced" to accommodate for 25% vision/conf, and removing it is going to completely throw it out of whack. Again builds are going to matter more now, but I am still nervous about this.

Hey Catch, curious why the need to limit the number of mentors per position. Why not just limit the effect to 7.5% instead? That way if a team has say three older CBs and three younger ones, the team has the option of splitting Mentor VA among the three older guys (5 points each).
Also what will happen if say a the oldest guy (s7d0) has 5 points in it and a younger guy (s7d20) has 15 points in it. Would a younger guy (s8d20) get the benefit from the oldest guy, or the guy with the most points in it? If the latter, what happens to a middle-aged guy (season 8d0) who is not eligible to get points from the younger guy?

Is it safe to assume a free Mentor VA reset in coming as well?

I understand we must change and move forward whcih im ok with, but changing so many things in one offseason is too confusing and complex and will really drive away new agents. Take 1 or 2 "MAIN" issues and fix them but it sounds like S15 will be HELL as Bort and Co. and unveiling so many new things. I mean changing into archetype, changing league changes, changes league competiton level, changing SA's and VA's,....where the hell does it end. Keep overloading and this will drive a large portion of this away. making all these changes hurts recruiting, and will take up a ton of time. Im sorry but im not liking the direction of GLB if so many changes are going to be implemented each offseason.

I mean why not address some MAJOR issues we have wanted forever. Take for example how expensive EQ is at the higher levels and how teams even at the Pro and World level struggle with revenue to pay for it. Or Maybe try going back to Seasons 6-10 (aka the Glory seasons) when passing was sweet, when competiton was good, when LEAGUE forums were actually active. But instead they kept changing the game claiming to improve it, while at the same time the number of teams gutting was climing at an exponential rate. Fix what I just mentioned... the simple things we all want! But instead our pleas have gone unaswered and only new problems keep arising!


This and T-Cat and I dont always see eye to eye either...I am not saying I dont agree with the changes but so much in so little time is going to kill off the game. Fix something like SSB teams instead of mentors for Christ sake.

I do not like this change

Limit to 1 per position if you have too.

I guess I did not know it was broken. Seems like this change has no motive behind it.

My guess is the motive is to phase it out to bring in actual coaching
