No, I see your point, however, I don't really agree with it.

I saw the 5 endorsements that my team received as a reward for playing well against equal level competition. Every league had the same amount of endorsements up for grabs; and the higher the level of the league, the better they were.

And while you are pointing out that we took 5 endorsements from the A league, you are neglecting the fact that bbb teams moved up with promotions as well. In fact, with all things equal, the only leagues that would wind up with more than the allotted amounts of endorsements would be the Pro leagues. They would more than likely hold on to all of their own endorsements and the teams moving up from AAA would bring some with them.

Personally, I hate endorsements, VAs, and fame. I think that they have increased the gap between the elite teams and the up and comers. In addition, they have wasted a ton of time (developing, implementing, and inadvertently fixing them) that could have been devoted to fixing the problems with the SIM. Don't get me wrong, I understand what Bort is trying to do with all of the "magical" additions that he makes to the game. I just don't think that now is the time to do it.



I dont like endorsements unless they go to the actual best players in the league. Gneiss Run ....yea obvious...most productive back in A...period.... He should have the endorsment or the MVP

Back up SS getting the Nod ( our cool hands luke) .....no thats utter bullshit.... he is a freaken back-up


I dont like fame for the same reason....it does not function how FAME should... you lead the league in something you should be HEADS and TAILS better then the rest of the league , If your in the top 10 , your stadium size should be a factor in how big of a market you impact.


vets i actually like, they let you specialize your build and build towards and end goal.

I couldn't agree more on hating the damn things.

dshearn, I agree on some of the players who got endorsements being wrong. If I had a company and wanted to endorse a player from the Pittsburgh Steelers, then I am going to go look at Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, Big Ben or so on. I'm not going to look at endorsing some special teams guy.

Vets I would prefer more if they got rid of the attribute bonuses.

I don't mind the endorsements. It just seems it should have been way down on their list of things to do. I mean come on, can't we even get a working forum search yet?

lol I wasn't talking about good return guys, I was talking about guys who are good enough to be recognized by everyone in an endorsment... josh cribbs is probably not known by any non-football person outside of ohio same with leon washington outside of people who follow the jets, and the only reason anyone would know sproles is because of that one great game against Indie. I have never seen a comercial of any of these guys, maybe in their local venues they might have endorsments, but I doubt it.

It's a shame that so many people are sleeping on Leon Washington. But, yeah, anyone who doesn't follow the National Football League (and with the boom in fantasy football, there's maybe five of those people left in the U.S.) probably doesn't know who he is.

There are a few kickers (technically special teams guys) that would be endorsement-worthy, and maybe a punter or two. I'm thinking of guys like Morten Andersen moreso than Josh Brown.

Dante Hall got endorsements for awhile, but my all time favorite football player to get an endorsement was Tommy Vigorito who had a national commercial and I still don't know why.

if you don't follow football you won't know who Hines Ward is more or less Troy Polmalulu. I mean really the only people you would know would be Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

Actually many people know Polamalu, maybe not by name, but from the hair, and Ward has been playing for 10 years, has been a super bowl MVP, and has two super bowl rings, so I am pretty sure a lot of people have seen him, if not for that than just because of the mass number of people who watch the super bowl.
