that is the magic figure that determines how much ELO you win or lose in the ladder.

Increasing it will make the ladder more volatile (hopefully) - so crap auto pilot teams will drop faster -- and teams can rise faster -- and in general...the ladder should be more reactionary (to some degree)

@ all the tears over guys not being able to exploit this football simulator. Running an unstoppable Goalline Sweep every play is arcade style game play and I never understood why any of these teams pride themselves in exploiting the system. In real life no team can run the same exact run play all game (especially Goalline) without the defense adjusting to shut the play completely down. Whatever the case I do not think removing the plays entirely was a "fix". A fix would require thought and work, a removal happens at the press of a button. Basically it was LAZY to fix things this way. The proper way to fix this would be to offer the defense an option to stop the play.

This begs another question; What is the intelligence level of a GLB defensive player characters? Don't the players we use know there is not a Goalline Passing play in their world? Are my LBs stupid? Do they not watch Game Tape to know the team they are playing only runs GOalline outside plays?

I believe "Play recognition" for defensive players and some "Defensive artificial intelligence" for repeat plays would have been an excellent addition to the game. "Play recognition" could trigger a defensive boost in Pursuit, Blitz Awareness, Tackling and Speed at a scaled rate as an increasing penalty to offenses who use the same play over and over.

Regardless I LOVE the fact that GL Sweeps have been addressed, I just think there could have been a more thoughtful plan, but I don't know the GLB ALGOS, so; GOod Work GLB2

GL sweeps and qb rollouts can be stopped. The issue is that those defensive plays usually leave the middle open for inside GL runs to exploit it so it was more of a pick your poison than an unstoppable play as you put it.

Yes, the ladder is ridiculous. Dinos started at #16 last year, we stank and lost 21 games and this year we start at.... #13!

I was not going to run it every play. I was just going to run it to keep defenses honest so I could run up the middle on GL. I cannot specify which plays or formations (other than GL) when I want my power HB to be in the game so I was going to put him in at HB just for GL situations. I would have no issue if I could put my choice of HBs at other formations. Now my power back and speed back have to randomly split carries in all other formations because GL is useless.

Marketplace is almost empty, once you get rid of the inactives, you can really see how dead the game is.

14 pages of Level 0 players alone, almost empty indeed.

Shouldn't this be in the Man Coverage section? It's currently listed as a Zone play.

Of what looks like the majority of same agents that are waiting for contracts to be sent/signed though

then why would they place ads? (maybe I don't know how it works)

I was thinking that but looking at the agents I'm pretty sure they are ready to go to teams etc

what the heck is this?
