Right, they looked like shit this past weekend. But when you have the QB slider set to 100 open man and it constantly throws into double coverage and the result is the same with an INT. Something isn't right and I'm saying that because I'm a damn good programmer and I get it.. Should be less chance of it throwing into double coverage is all I'm saying.


Im not arguing w/ you here but dont you think there are more factors involved then just the slider?

I mean i assume you are talking casual tactics right? because in my regular leagues w/ my AI, I've forced the progressions, but even in casual it's more than just the slider that makes a QB throw to a doubled reciever, also it seems to me that at times the QB throws while the wr is single covered but another defender converges while the ball is in the air, so to your point, maybe some of those times the QB doesnt see it as double....right?

Instead, its because the ownership hasn't (yet) grasped it has a "Cash Cow" (marketing term--look it up) on its hands. If they would recognize that and re-invest even a moderate amount of time and effort, the game would have a lengthy future because there STILL is no other better place to play an online football sim.

Nope talking QB Tactics. And there would be a range based distance where the vision check would tell the QB to throw the ball. That would be good but I'm thinking when the player is doubled the entire time and the QB just throws it there. Never played casual leagues actually. I'd like to have more control of what happens for a QB to be effective. Progression was a nice implementation but the 100 Open Man should be that I feel. All good. There are more factors involved with the slider and it should be but to do this over and over is just not a good thing I feel. Just needs a bit of improvement to the AI for QB's.

You made a good point Spider but the QB should know he's got man coverage and a safety in the zone he's throwing to and not just keep doing it over and over and over in a game if the QB tactics are set to 100 Open Man when he already checked out of the progression's 1st target and it was a Catch Fake on top of that. When the dot is open, it should throw the ball as that was the OC's game plan and that was there for the taking..

If we want to discuss what killed the forums...

Some people say bad moderation. I don't agree with that since I was handed so many bans from shit mods and would come back to the forums stronger than before after coming off my MANY bans. People that post enough shit to get banned are going to keep posting. They may shy away from a specific forum but they're going to keep posting.

Some people blame it on trolls. In all honesty, I didn't see an excessive amount of trolling in threads with merit. Oh, there was plenty of trolling in general but most of the threads that were locked due to trolling were shitty suggestions that should have been deleted in the first place. I had a thread or two taken offtopic by trolls in order to get the thread locked. I simply PM'd the mod and got the thread unlocked and the trolls were given warnings. Too many lazy people just sat back and cried about their thread getting locked rather than doing something about it.

While both of those things played a small part the primary reason the forum activity dropped is twofold. Private forums and too many main forums. It spread the userbase far too thin.

Agree with the response of the this being a potential cash cow if they spent more time on it and advertised. with casual teams for the laid back users and regular for the more advanced this game rocks. I have never spent money for any kind of game until I came along this game.

If you liked this game GLB2 isn't anything like it. Its a total different style of game. Not a fan of GLB2 at all, but they give you a free player so you can always check it out.

Yeah

Bunch of noobs in the forums posting all their personal info in the main and asking you to do the same. Also, if you're lucky your dot will only be a FA for 5 seasons.

hey, if you actually had the mental capacity to build a decent dot, you would've already lost interest in this game like everybody else. Blame your parents for passing along the inferior genetic code which gave you inferior conceptualization skills. Fix ur genes, bitch

Well, they're actually just multis of losers trying to get some superstar shit or something.

It's funny how when I went over there they are bashing the shit out of this game. Random people I've never heard of talking about how this game is too hard and how they love all there is to do over there. ohlol
