Hopefully Bort can figure out all the tweaks to the new changes he's introduced. Better yet he will stop making such drastic changes season to season causing the work of previous seasons building to become obsolete as he tweaks game mechanics.
(Insert reply with person saying how this game is in Beta etc etc etc and quit complaining blah blah blah)
I am in total agreement with you....you spend a season building players a certain way to improve your team the following season then Bort comes along and rubbishes all your plans!
Beta or not, i for one am getting pretty fed up with this game very quickly, and i don't think i can be bothered spending money to play this crap much more
If you build a solid player built around common sense and RL knowledge and don't get caught up in exploiting the strong attribute of that particular season you don't run into such highs and lows with player builds.
If you're smart and build this way you can even get ahead of the Bort "fix" curve and have better players every season as he gets things right and balances the attributes you knew were important last season.
Personally, I haven't had a season yet that nerfed any of my builds and as a team we've never needed to scrap our AI. I did this year only due to the addition of many new players last season and this offseason that allow us to do more things. It only makes sense to redo your AI when you have more talent and therefore more options.
If I thought the end result of these changes was a realistic football sim, then I would agree with you.Not sure I understand what's not to agree with.
Builds get nerfed when agents try to capitalize on the "flavor of the day" attribute by dumping the vast majority of their points into it. Then, when the flavor changes the next season they have a "nerfed" build.
However realistic the sim currently is or isn't, the parameters are set and apparent, whether intentionally or otherwise, and people react to them either with common sense or not. Common sense says the more balanced a player is the less chance of a nerfed build next year. GLB Exploit "sense" says exploit what's exploitable this year and take your chances with next year.
