You mean other than the games?

I'm in 100% agreement with Bort. Complete VA resets each season is about as stupid as a complete SP reset.

So bort, what's on the horizon as far as which suggestions from the suggestions forum you plan on implementing in the near future and next season?...haven't really seen much of you over there lately

maybe to solve your player problem, just pick one team and sign all your guys there for 3 year deals......then you go three years without any of that nonsense........or retire them

I disagree. The sim is through the major overhaul phase at this point IMO (I think we're nearing a fairly close balance, with the exception of pass rushing, which isn't really that far off, and a few other random things here and there) and vet abilities are something you are meant to build up over time as your player becomes a veteran.

I understand the want for something to reset every season, to make it interesting, but I don't know if the VA's are it. That was certainly never the intention of them, and trying to shoehorn them into that mold probably isn't the best idea.

Ignoring the 'fun' factor for a moment...this was really the first season that non-attribute VAs were used en masse. It would be nice to just get this one last VA reset (since you don't want to keep this up forever) just so that people at higher levels can get a chance to put their VAs where they think will do good.

Let's face it, everybody used quick, track star, etc in season 8. Now we have had a chance to use the actual cool VAs, but there was a lot of experimenting this season, and it'd be nice to get one more chance to replace our experiments with the knowledge we've gained.

Bort, there was a question in the FAQ forum I was hoping you could address, will training points remain on this offseason?, please and thanks!

Please, Bort <3

Yes, training goes on.

The "team" player gets hosed... There is too much turnover team-wise in GLB right now for VA's to be permanent.

I think the full reset is way more exciting. It enables teams to try certain things each season depending on personnel and not being locked in forever if they take a chance and it doesn't work out.

I would choose to do away with Vet points all together but if its a must, I would rather a full reset every season. Makes things way more interesting.

what about a gradual reset? wlarson suggested that you can give 1 vp back/day and put it where you want to.

you don't turn into something you are not OVERNIGHT. but you work for it.

I could get on that boat. I think that VA's, just like SA's and Skill Points, should be something you have you think about and not fling around willy nilly because you can just reset all the time.

What? When did we ever reset Skills Points???

VA hasn't even been well tested out yet.

Anything changing with a QB's throwing release

Coaches! Main thing.

I also want to do a "rate this play" kinda thing so we can have plays of the week or something similar.

A few other things in the works with some design updates and such.

Hey Bort, since you mentioned OAI earlier (pictures to pick plays), is there any chance that we could get some of the AI enhancements looked at this off season? You know, the stuff in Epic Suggestions in regards to improving AI functionality.

***** Bort.... When you gonna code in the thing to PM multiple Agents? (I have the script for Greasemonkey that I'd be willing to sell to people lol PM me if interested ) C'mon Bort... Answer me

I can imagine that will lead to some spamming

I agree, they should be used wisely, but one reset per off season where a portion of the VA';s can be reset will better help players align with new teams. No resets favors the credit card/single agent teams...
