Eh I don't know, if anything I've seen this fanbase be more unified in their opinions about whats broken. With a few exceptions most people agree with each other that somethings just a'int right y'hear? Most people disagree on what should be done to fix it. Other than Corndog, who believes he's fixed it already


Hardly.

#1 - The posters on the official forums usually represent an tiny minority of a game's entire playbase. This was true even when I worked on Terra: Battle for the Outlands and we only had about 200 players of whom maybe a dozen or so would regular post and engage in discussions. Scale that up to something like WoW, and I'd bet the active forum posters represent less than one one-hundredth of a percent of the American playerbase, never mind the internation part.

#2 - Player bases here, just like everywhere including outside of games, tend to polarize pretty quickly. I can give you bunches and bunches of really boring text books that I got stuck with during my graduate work that go into detail why if you're truly bored.

#3 - I'm pretty sure Corndog doesn't believe GLB2 is anywhere near fixed. The fact that two teams combined for 1400 yards passing in a game is kinda a hard thing to ignore.

Fixes should go live when they're available. They're not changes after all - they're fixing something thats broken

FYP somewhat. Making incremental changes and seeing results (from payer-base not your own over-worked PC!) would be much more effective than what has happened. IMO as always.

Obviously I'd be happy with them, but really I think another midseason change is needed, as long as you're confident with the changes. I think sooner rather than later is actually ideal so teams don't change their plans or get used to something that we know is temporary etc.

That's true with website related stuff.

"Fixing" anything in the sim is still just a sim change.

Yeah, I guess I could since it is all code changes this time.

Last time couldn't have been scrim only because it changed the play definition in the database for every QB rollout.

Would also be ideal. Not really sure if tomorrow is possible, but if it is, earlier the better imo.

If it's on the scrim server, I'd rather just not post the actual updates until they are finalized and go into the game. Would make opinions less biased.
