Generally, in my experience if you call the right play with the right builds, the outcome is exactly what you'd expect. Where do you feel RNG plays too large of a part?

Agree. Builds matter way more at higher levels.

As for the marketplace option, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed. Most competitive owners that are blowing up the team because they lost a player, likely aren't going to want some random inactive player in the D-Leagues. Certainly not one that's set to accept any contract that comes his way. That's just not the way people play the game.
Don't give up on Marketplace! I only discovered it recently: https://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum/thread/5316009

Since then I've taken over as GM for the Bengals and decided to only use the Marketplace to populate the team. And, it's worked for the most part. I think there are a number of players whose teams have reset and they're looking for another team to join. These aren't bad players, they're just players without a home.

My only issue has been agents not responding (accepting or rejecting) so I don't know whether to wait or move on with other offers. So, I would suggest having a flag to show the offer has been seen. And, another option for agents (besides Accept or Reject) is Considering.

Don't give up on the Marketplace! From the response to my post above I think a lot of managers just doesn't realize it exists but would use it to fill their rosters if they lose players (agents) along the way.

I, too, go to the Marketplace during the offseason. I, too, get annoyed at the lack of response from agents. I, too, think that many agents and managers don't know how to utilize it.

Yeah would be helpful if they had a pop up on player creation - even if the player signs with a CPU team a

"Hey time to design your marketplace add and get on a human run team"

Up the price of Scheduled Scrims to 50 FLEX, which can only be run on Off Days, that provide a Chemistry increase to both teams.


This is actually a good idea.

I disagree, and but I get some of you all like the tier.

For me, I also dislike that the low level rookie players are not able to run nearly as many plays as I can in Vet... my scheme is very limited. Zone especially isn't so good at this level ...at least my version and most of the others, Gilwice apparently being the exception due to all the High Contracts.

I definitely agree that rookie limits your creativity and what you're able to do with a team. For you in particular I can understand how rookie feels more RNG, when your zone defense is built around forcing turnovers and that only happens at low levels with quite a bit of luck. Is there a reason you don't run special builds and plays to compete in rookie and do a full respec when you get to soph? My vet team looks nothing like what I'm doing right now, and it even has the benefit of giving my opponents the wrong play knowledge.

Shocked people still use the Marketplace. The forums are the best place to pick up active agents and post teamless players.

Perhaps an intermediate solution to the pickup player grind/combining Journeyman & Pro league issue is to give players an option to become experienced up to vet for some flex points.

I think this is what CD is trying to avoid. If they implement this, then many agents will just bypass every tier up to Vet.

Marketplace is great to find what you're looking for in one place. For instance, if I need a Vet WR. Why post in the forums hoping that an agent with a Vet WR will take the time to read through the forums (and then you have to 'bump' your post to keep it at the top) when you can find all the available Vet WRs in Marketplace and send contracts on the spot?

Aside from a couple of tweaks/bug fixes that are needed, Marketplace should be the go to for finding players to fill teams. It's SO much easier to use than posting in forums.

...except that the marketplace is 80% filled with players and agents who haven't been in the game since S23. If there were a filter for inactive agents or "Last Game Played in Season X," that would make it much more useful. The forums gets you active agents, at least. You gotta use both, atm.

Exactly.

Or something.

Too many dead agents and players on Marketplace. Need something more efficient.

You can actually find this on an agent if you click on the "GLB" link.
