I hope they don't get too crazy with it. I want to stick with you guys that are of similar level. All in all, I think it's a great idea though. I just wish they had done this back when I had my first team. Gutted team in a Pro league didn't work out too well for me.

no. Only the very bottom tiers are going to be part of the reshuffling. So canada A has no worries about it. Only BBB does.

I think we owe them more patience. At least they're trying to improve the game. No matter how bad the sim is, this game is still great.

Im hoping this is the case but I couldnt find the thread/announcement where I read that before so I have been worried that the A4 will get shuffled. That said I understand people not wanting to run teams anymore. No matter how frustrating the game is its still the best of its kind out there and short of Madden there is nothing like it. Its still very early in the games life so there is plenty of time for things to be worked out. It just sucks that most of the nerfs made are because people are loud rather than actual game errors.

Let me put in a word for the Bombers. Our GMs and agents were 100% committed to the team, and we were all set for the promotion to AA. However, our owner hadn't logged on since 3/22, and since he was the DC before taking over as owner, and managed all the finances himself, the consensus on the team forum was that the team couldn't continue without somebody handling those two areas. Nobody wanted to see the team go, but unfortunately it was impossible to keep it going.

I still can't believe we beat the Polar Bears, Leviathans, Aggies, and lost by just five to the Rush with absolutely no gameplanning done for the defense. I think we'll let that be our legacy: a team that could beat anyone, even when we weren't trying.

Also, I've tried to contact BillySims by offsite means, but haven't been able to yet. At this point I'm just hoping that he's okay.

Well there's no denying that Mr. Harding wasn't trying. He can singlehandedly change the outcome of any game and was probably one of the main reasons why your defense held its own even without Billy.

What a frikkin jackass coming off the edge embarrassing my tackles like that!

Nevertheless, kudos to you Bombers for a memorable season 8 and good luck.

Im sorry that happened to you guys. If you still have enough players around you should send support a PM and see if one of you can take over the ownership role. Its how I got my team, the previous owner randomly sold the team after being inactive for a week and support let me buy it to keep the team together.

I think how much patience one has is totally up to the person deciding. I'm not saying the owners decision is right or wrong, I'm just saying that it is what it is. A very large number of agents believe that the sim has been getting worse for several seasons now. While I do agree with you that Bort and company are trying, I do not think they've done a very good job with the direction of the game. The bottom line is that customers don't owe companies anything, including patience. We are paying customers and Bort and company need to know what makes us spend money and have a remarkable gaming experience, which I think they struggle with. I own a small business, and as a business owner I have ONE chance to satisfy a customer. If they are not satisfied, it does not matter much how hard I've tried, they are probably not coming back.

We considered doing that, but again, the consensus was that if Billy wasn't going to come back, the team should go CPU. So, that's what happened. And it's already nearly completely gutted.

Also, Anebriated, if you or anybody else is in need of an OC, I love this league and would be greatly appreciative of the opportunity to stay here.

He'll do that.

I gotta say, he has to have been in the running for CA4 MVP every season we've been here. Definitely defensive MVP.

I see your point but there's a reason it's still called a Beta. I guess we don't owe anyone anything but to each his own I guess.

Harding had a great time in Canada A and will now be playing for the D-League Dream Team of USA #5, i had a great time on the Blue Bombers and was planning on keeping Harding with them until his retirement, but with most of the team leaving and Billy not logging on and losign the team, Harding's time to move on has come. It's been great playing with all of you guys and good luck

Okay, so this reshuffle and cap thing is JUST the bottom tier of each region? So say in EE, an A tier team has no worries?


Yep



Straight answer. Just the bottom tier. We should be fine then next season.


Trust me, if I couldn't fuck with princess darius, sitha, and mith anymore in EE I would be fuming right now.
