Sooo any word on changes?

Zero communication has always worked so well in the past.

if it isn't fixed, break it

that's the saying right?

If it's not broken, fix it.

Let's not be silly.

somewhere in the Seattle area right now:

- "Oh crap! It's the offseason in GLB2!! Dang it - why did we make the seasons so freaking short????
- Well, are we going to do anything this time?
- Let's buff passing!
- We did that last time!
- Let's buff running then.
- We can't do that either. Even Parab00n admitted that counters were overpowered
- Did we ever implement that crappy thing you were working on? That thing to use the code from pick up games? A put up player or something?
- Yes...pickup players. We did that last time. It worked too --- 1000's of users are involved in pickup players now.
- Well should we look at some kind of an SA overhaul?
- No. I tried that about a year ago and it was a major pain in the ass. Did you have monkey do all of that coding for you?? half the SA's don't do anything and the other half only work some of the time.
- Ok. Maybe some new defensive plays?
- WTF? We've already built 400 plays...and only about 25 of them even work! I'm not wasting my time for a 6% payoff!
- Shoot...I feel like we have to come up with something. What can we nerf?
- Well, we could nerf counters like everyone is bitching about -- but I hate to let them feel like they get to call the shots...I'm tired of the bad attitudes and complaining of those bastards.
- Don't forget - they are our customers
- Customers! Most of them are playing with free players only --- or still living off of the flex they purchased back in the original GLB back in 2008. Even our most recent flex black friday sale only results in 7 purchases being made for a total of $31.50
- Ok - so not touching counters. What else can we nerf?
- Maybe we could nerf catching? We bumped it last season - so those guys should still be feeling pretty happy. We'll just call it an adjustment but really only reduce catching skills like 1%.
- Wait! That gives me a great idea. Let's just tell them we did a lot of stuff. We'll use words like tweak, correct, buff for several different things...and then we just won't actually do anything. Kind of like that diversity bonus! Wasn't that awesome??
- Awesome AND Hilarious!! I still laugh about that one sometimes when I'm laying my head down to go to sleep at night.
- So that settles it then. Come up with a bunch of vague tweaks, fixes and corrections - toss them out to the forums. You're going to have to spend an hour or two making smart ass comments and generally trying to piss people off after the 'notes' go live. You up for that?
- I guess. I don't really want to though. Those people don't like me very much and there isn't a single person there that I like.
- Welcome to the real world, Corndog. Welcome to the real world.


Official Release Notes:
- Tweaked strength of counter fakes to make them very slightly less effective.
- Fixed minor error in code that was skewing catch in traffic roles slightly.
- Adjusted pursuit impact on defensive pathing for outside runs
- Adjusted man awareness and zone awareness code which should bring slightly more sensible coverage in some game situations
- Tweaked end of game formula to rely slightly less on a defensive stop when less than 3 minutes to play no matter how many time outs are left - this should result if fewer idiotic punts and more attempts to go for it on 4th down.
- Fixed minor error in code for QB pocket awareness which should improve QB drop back / shuffle around the pocket logic
- Adjusted code which controls interception rolls for defenders in man coverage so that they get the same catch bonus as WR's when they are facing the QB.
- Slight tweak adjustment to special teams which should result in better blocking logic and better returning logic, when proper skill minimum thresholds are made.

- Does that work for you Bort?
- It is perfect. Now we don't have to actually DO anything! Back to my Yacht! Time to party!!
- I've been meaning to tell you for awhile now Bort -- just because you wear a captain's hat --- you and your cat taking a bath together doesn't actually equate to a "party on a yacht" -- I think you should stop saying that.

legit is what will happen

TxSteve now all you need are actors and you have the script to a YouTube parody video.

well - I definitely had Tdiddy in mind for the part of Bort -- assuming he still has his captain hat. I'd like him to wear it for the entire sketch.

For the part of Corndog....I'm not totally sold on anyone but was leaning a little USCTrojan during the writing. I'd welcome other ideas.

wheres DD in all this

So what we're saying here is "spam counters in season 15 again" right?

hey good thing we all pay money for a game that the devs could literally not care less about. oh wait

appears that way

And will appear that way until 6-8 hours before the first game when outside running will get a huge nerf and everyone will have to totally rebuild their roster in a couple of hours (or not find out about the changes until after the first game for those in Europe) to lean more towards passing....again

yep, that too.
