fwiw, he only shuffled the lowest tier of the leagues. Since I figured out what it would entail (again from Bort himself) I'm game for it here. But "since he shuffled others" is not a valid argument since for the usual regions it was just the Bottom tier. If anything, he should shuffle the BBB in EE since that is the lowest tier.




But again (for those that will zone out me saying this) I'm game for it here since me and my GM got answers from Bort himself.

Couldn't have said it any better myself!!!



+1

This season our team finished 6th and lost our first playoff game. Who would have thought that we'd be promoted to uncapped. We were discussing only winning one (if we could) and not even trying in the 2nd one so we didn't get promoted. Our highest player is a lvl22 and we're not going to sign higher level players to try to compete...there are only 6 agents on the team and we're going to stick together. It would be nice to not have all 255-0 games though so it is somewhat interesting.

All that's going to happen without a reshuffle is teams are going to be sold back during or at the end of this season because stadiums are not built up enough to afford higher salaries and it's going to be a neverending promotion from BBB to A in EE.

I vote for implementing reasonable league level minimum and league level maximum caps in ALL leagues so this crap doesn't continue season after season.

Bort, you said there wouldn't be a re-shuffle, so why don't you stick to what you originally stated? It seems you are deliberately trying jerk your paying customers around, that you love the controversy you create and don't really care about pissing people off.

I approve of your reshuffle, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

UIGTY was bumped up to EEA7 because of the massive number of CPUs in the league above us. There is no way we're going to get even competition in EEA7 with lvl 20s facing lvl 40s.

I own a team in EEA1 and I also have a player on a team in EEA1, I don't approve of this reshuffle. I know I was outleveled compared to most teams, but I enjoy the other owners and agents in EEA1 and I wouldn't ask for a better league to be in.

I haven't had a winning season yet, but our time is coming.

Cuz you have a lot of people who want to bitch and whine, and unfortunalty, Bort tends to appease the minority of the whiners than the ones who just want him to do his own thing.
Bort might code this game but the bitchers and moaners are the ones who are creating it. Due to this, the game is going downhill.
Instead of creating a game of his own vision, he is following the minority of whiners. Take all the sim changes, nerfs, and other shit. You would think after 8 seasons we would have a middle ground of a sim to play but people don't want that, they want their players to be gods and will bitch enough for Bort to fuck with the sim again and again.

No shuffle. I blew through my chemistry by cutting players that I would have loved to keep. But they weren't level appropriate for my league. I did this knowing that EE A would not be shuffled.

Yes Shuffle make it fair and balanced level 25's shouldn't be playing level 40's

My team is: Pàràgònàl ƒòRçè

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7031

I would like to continue playing against the following teams as long as they still qualify (level wise) as we had good competition last season:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4166
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2020
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1992
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7025
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7028
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7023
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7018

thanks Bort for putting in the extra time to make things competitive and fun for the rest of us.

I think a shuffle would be best. We got moved into an uncapped league from a league that was capped at 13 last season. We'll have to recruit a ton of high level players just to be remotely competitive.

If at all possible, I'd like our team to be placed in 24 capped league.

Thanks.

You do realize that level 25's will play level 40s if the median levels are the same (with the median + 25% factored in for the highest level) right?

If the shuffle can produce parity, then I am for it. But I do want some more specifics on how it is going to be done before I agree to it. Our league, EEA6, is fairly balanced as it is. If you do the reshuffle, can you give us the psuedo code you are going to use. What is your exact formula for determining median level? How are you going to determine the groupings of teams when there isn't a perfect number, say only 20 teams of a like level? Are they going to be grouped with higher or lower level teams. Also, is there going to be any effort to keep teams of the same level, from the same league, together?

My team was full of lvl 21-24 players. I have since signed one lvl35 DE and one lvl25 WR. What does that make my level now? I want parity, but I have a feeling that the reshuffle will leave us in a worse situation than we currently have in EEA6.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4166


If that feeling is correct, we'll be in the same boat as we signed a level 28 QB and level 28 punter already (but those are the only moves we are making).


EEA6 should be level range 21 to 28 pre boost there are a lot of teams in there already that fit this level range but a few bad apples signing level 40's are ruining the league.

Well, so far (and my math is always bad) only 13 different teams have voiced a "yes". If Bort goes with the majority rule from his original post then 13 out of 256 isn't going to make it happen.


thats cause all 256 owners don't even know about this thread i just learned about it today.
