The easiest way to make everyone happy and make the most money for GLB is to make it an option during player creation to be BOOSTER or NON BOOSTER. Then seperate them into leagues of their own. This will make everyone happy. Non Booster doesnt mean cheap. Many non boosters prefer to bye teams and build players to fill that team. Which still equals money. I am a non booster and i like the game. I want to continue playing and being competitive. But i dont see why i should HAVE to boost to play.


agreed. pick a non-booster build and you get 0 refund...easy pleasey

I think whoever pays the most money should get the biggest trophy!!
The more you pay the bigger the trophy will get.

If you go to McDonalds and buy 1 $1.00 double cheeseburger, you can't expect to come out as full as the guy that bought the double quarter pounder value meal and supersized.[/QUOTE

Mcdonalds has a MENU of OPTIONS to appeal to everyone. Not everyone wants a double quarter pounder meal supersized some people only want the double cheeseburger. Others choose a healthier option and now Mcdonalds offers salads and fruits. Hence the OPTIONS. We need OPTIONS here wheres our MENU.

I dont have a problem with this idead either.
I know that GLB has expenses. I know these guys do not work for free. All everyone is asking for is COMPETITIVE play. Let boosters play boosters and non boosters play non boosters. There is a middle ground to keep everyone happy as well as maximizing profit. I dont mind paying to play just like to play my way which isnt everyones way. The current league structure is like having high school teams college teams and pro teams all playing against each other in the same leagues. I am not going to quit playing this game because i dont boost i will just have to suck it up and accept my losses if nothing is changed. I guess there;s really no difference here than what happens in everdyay life. the people with the most money decide how the rest of us live. More realistic equal matchups would be nice though.

Bad analogy is bad.

we knew we were going to be screwed, just thought that they would somewhat try to make the leagues even. but instead they just lumped everyone together with lvl 40 against lvl 20+. you would think since this is the first season of overhaul, they easily could have done the realignment by age first then lvl. this way the leagues would have been even for at least on season. but they are too LAZY to do that. that was the only problem with the old system. the old way would work if they went through teams more precisely and went by effective level. now they just put teams in the same league that have NO business being together. its a joke and this site has become a joke to me.


Many of us pointed out how impossible it would be to group by age with only 3 tiers. We were shouted down. I got tired of being told how stupid I was because I didn't believe ABLs would solve all the competition problems.

I would just like to throw out there wont the teams that are really bad start being placed in the non elite and competitive leagues so wont the non - boosters start getting thrown down there as the boosters take over the top leagues? so in a way after a few seasons they should all get split anyway and if they go back to the old way of promotions based on winning such as your 21 to 80 day prep league if you get in the bottom 4 of the entire league then you wont promote and will still be in that same age level. just an idea. but the leagues will start getting segregated for the elites competitives and regulars and maby they should add better trophy's for the higher tier ones.

I'm a casual player with not a whole lot of time or money to drop on GLB. It is not worth it for me to commit to spend money on this game on a regular basis. I do not know if I am in the minority, but I only have one player (max I've had is three) and I really have enjoyed the game because it doesn't take a lot of time or money. It has been enjoyable, and I have bought flex points once or twice because I had a little extra (like 10 dollars each time). Now I'm forced to retire my only player. I will be spending what is left of my flex points on probably one-two more characters and will stop playing after that. I can not justify spending any more money on a game I really only play because it doesn't take a lot of time. I can not believe I am the only one like this.

Additionally, I don't really pay much attention to the message boards (besides my team's) and did not really understand the changes that were happening and how screwed I would be. If you took a poll to determine this, you probably have some serious sampling issues and may want to look at the amount of non-responders who have bought flex points - they will be the ones who aren't going to pony up more money to play a game they don't pay much attention to.

You get what you pay for haha but splitting the leagues would be pointless unless the players who pay get something for it.

You mean a $20 game? Because I feel guilty spending that much already and the product I've gotten has been decent but IMO not worth $20 dollars. What amount of money do I need to spend before I can enjoy the game? I spend what I can in relation to what it is worth. If this game takes a lot of money to be worth something, how do you get new players? Did you miss the point where I HAVE paid for flex points?

Na I just think its a game where the more you spend the more you get out of it. You could build an oline player and boost for $2 a season with the rewards points and with the starting points its less. To get the better players and have them pay off ya gotta spend. Or learn to gm teams and then you can play for free haha.

A complete joke.
How does a team that doesnt boost with an average level of 26 and EL of 28 get placed in a league where the average levels are 7 levels higher BEFORE the other teams boost?
Should be some really competetive games there.
Ive owned my team since season 2 and bought enough flex for 51 players.
Who do I see fo rmy refund?
I feel sorry for you suckers who keep spending real money on this craapy game.
