The huge changes to building players happens every season it seems like, and it's killing the fun factor for me. We can't keep up with you Bort. You really want us to start over with any guys we created less than 120 days ago? Seems a little ridiculous to me.

Was it really necessary to break this game down so far that every player of every "archetype" is exactly the same player, with maybe a slight change depending on which slow-build method an agent employs? I'm all against this change, and will probably ride out the lifespan of my current "younger" players, and be done with this site, honestly.


Exactly!

I pride myself on being able 2 build players that can start for and compete on any team at any level. If GLB implements this system my money will be better spent elsewhere.

If you know how to build you know how to build, there is nothing that can change that, however with a system like this there is chance for more diversity, especially w/ the custom SA's

people that really think this creates more cookie cutters than the current system obviously fail at looking at how these archetypes really work. There's NO WAY it's even close to being as cookie cutter as it currently is.

+1
I feel like a huge sucker for dropping enough cash on Flex Friday to outfit my season 13/14 players for life.

I can't help but think that most people vehemently against this idea haven't read the OP - or the summary from last night and aren't really getting it.

You're blinded by your idea, Catch. Every team is going to have a cookie cutter scat back, a cookie cutter power back, a cookie cutter receiving TE, a cookie cutter block TE, etc, etc, etc

possibly - you're implying all scat backs will be built exactly the same - and I don't believe that will be the case

this wasn't even my idea Trev. I'm just the one responsible for putting it together and getting the information out.

And I think you're way, way off on that.

I think putting this idea 2 a vote would be a good idea. I 4 one don't see this as a good thing and am going on record as saying that if implemented this will be the end of GLB 4 me.
