Warrior General Games

Let's be realistic here. The player market needs to grow and teams need to stick in vet. What's the hurt of unlimited career boosts? They are kinda expensive and only are a plus for you from a business stand point. The player market is weak and as a team that likes to stick at the top of the game ID like to keep core players that I'm fine with their builds and use the pup system and recruiting to improve the weaker spots.

Only downfall is hof all time which I'll be honest, it's not something that is worth crying over in order to expand the gameS player base and teams.

Unless they let us resurrect old players! ZOMBIE BOTS!#@$!

+1 But it would be nice if they made them a bit cheaper.

I think a simple code could cap HOF All Time to X number of seasons...

Sure, but at least right now I know I could have kept like 10 players alive on rusty and wouldn't have had to worry about the player market much. Hell I'd still have holy cow going strong probably.

Not so sure about unlimited, because then you might get teams staying around forever. But changing a career boost from 15 games to 30 games would extend their time at Vet to 6 seasons, which sounds about right to me. That equates to an 11 season career.

bad idea

At a high level, I agree. No one wants to see the same team or teams dominate forever. Now, if there was a way to ensure the meta would shift every few seasons, this could be fun. You could have the "old school" teams trying to stick with what got them to the top competing with the "next gen" teams under the new meta.

The risk, as I see it, would be a decrease in younger players as the veteran warriors would burn through flex. It would also lead to the lolMinors issues that plague GLB Classic.

You want teams that stick forever. That's the point. To grow the base of players and teams so that it's not just 10-20 teams fighting it out every season.

This. I would be fine with the cost of career boosts if they changed from 15 to 30 and keep the number of career boosts the same.

This game is already dead. You guys are hanging on to something that's been in a death spiral. Look at how many teams are at each tier it's ridiculous. I even think some agents have multiple teams.

Bort and crew better figured something out quick. A lot of what is being discussed has been brought up for seasons. And yet all we get are little shifts here and there. No substantial changes to keep agents interested. (Except for us die hard players). The goal is to bring in new people and to keep them coming back. However the game needs to speak to those needs. Do I enjoy this game , of course, I have been here since season 3. The number of teams has gotten to be the lowest by far.( not a historian)

I hope the next changes are substantial to keep the thing going. But instead of tweaks we may need an overhaul. GLB3 anyone??

Hell Yes, Just Do It!!!

i could see when they brought out the game that it was imperative to create a cycle so the tiers were always juiced up. But it is pretty clear now that veteran needs to team boost. You can't be worried about one team dominating a tier forever. That will change when you extend the player life and base. People will catch up on the metas. And eventually there will be new metas introduced as well. Imagine if tdiddy still had his old ass LB running around the regular leagues. He might have stuck around to enjoy the game a bit.

i dunno. it is hard to grow the upper tier if teams keep dying out and restarting. the current method isn't growing the middle tiers right now so you can't give me that as a downside.

SO what your saying bhall is that we need to grow the middle class!!

Unlimited may be a bridge too far at the moment.

I and others have suggested DOUBLING the value of Career Boosts.

Alternatively, they could just be made "free" or given as a bonus to fully boosted players.

You don't need players sticking around forever, but 5 seasons of growth and 2 at Vet is the wrong mix. Make it 5 seasons of growth and 4 or 6 seasons at Vet (potentially) and things would be more interesting.
