On the other hand, building a dot in GLB2 seems almost too straight-forward. There is no skill involved. Once you set your player's initial build, there's nothing to do but wait for points to roll in.
Came here to say this. This is actually a really fun game and it's sad it died the way it did just due to multiple bad decisions, but for a new user who doesn't know anyone in the game it's damn near impossible to jump in and be good at
Thats what made the game fun for users in the first 3 seasons, everyone was making mistakes together and there was no model you had to follow to be successful. Then like mentioned, the nerfs and all the adjustments came. Once users spent money to adjust to the new strategy, bort would nerf it and all the users who had spent money to adjust to the old strategy were screwed and wasted their investment in the game. No one likes being screwed on their money
Between all the AI and sim changes, you really had to be here the whole time to witness it and understand the game to be able to play. It would just take forever to teach someone and you can't expect every user that signs up to be that eager to learn
Also all the scripts you had to download on your computer to simplify things would be difficult for a new user to learn.
It was def a combination of things that killed this game off, but I still enjoy it. I also miss when good teams were made up of a bunch of users working towards certain goals. Although I spent an unhealthy amount of time on this game at one point so it's probably good for my school work I toned it down when it became boring.
Random note: One time I meet former Clemson RB Andre Ellington on here. He had a RB on my team. He sent me pictures of himself to prove who he was way back when he was on here. Ill always remembered that from playing this game. He was just a recruit at the time and now he's an NFL RB. He quit playing before he left for Clemson

I found that funnier than I should have.
