This game was no bug, and after being on the wrong end of a game that we put so much into sucks so bad it's not funny. But the sim is so close to perfect, this is the best sim I have ever been apart of, and I hope people look at why those #s were possible. - the fix to it is easy, and I hope bort and co don't go overboard nerfing passing, the lowering of aeq stacks is going to hurt passing, removing cm would also do a ton, and those 2 things alone could be more than enough to balance the game..
I would def not Say glb Is in a horrible state, that just isn't true
I am not talking about game mechanics, strategy, nerfing, whatnot. What I am saying is that when the two best teams score a combined 125 points when they play each other something is VERY wrong. How often have you seen a Superbowl with 125 points?
The power of stacking +%aeq and also a few VAs makes some builds and teams so overwhelming compared to teams who didn't plan for it. Not to mention that they have superior builds without the right aeq/vas and really good gameplanning, DPCs, and AI. Still, i think stern is somewhat right in that if bort gets rid of some of the stupid VAs and also tones down or gets rid of +%aeq all together it would be much better looking. I know it's real uncool or melvin to want to get rid of them, but it's still to the point where most positions it's pretty much a requirement to have 1 of them for next season. There wont' be an HB in all of GLB without breaktackle% or a QB without passquality%. I thought bort didn't want to have things that every single player had to have
But yea, kinda silly how easy passing was for them and how running basically is so impossible neither team even tried.
