Warrior General Games

GLB is breaking down before our very eyes.

What happened?

Cheesers???

Teams running 100% I-Slam right...check the main board

That is such BS!!

Play the game the way it's supposed to be played!

It's a team running the same play over and over. One play becomes and exploit, and people ride the bandwagon to playoff upsets and such. It sux, Bort is "trying to address it", but there's nothing he can do with it this year. He says the test games look like there's no exploits...we'll see. I've watched a couple, and I personally am satisfied with them.................then again who knows how this will work with real players created. He tests them with completely balanced players, 100 on every attribute players, and guys built for speed, strength, and other exploits only.

I'm hoping season ten is the season that GLB takes a big step forward, or I'm going to be joining a lot of the other owners on this website, and packing it in. I enjoy creating players still, so I'll always be around in that capacity, but Bort really needs to address some of the bigger issues. Who fucking cares about this forum and that forum? I want a GAME that I can enjoy, otherwise I'm paying money to talk on a forum...isn't Twitter something like that, and it's free? If people can figure out one play to run, and do just that...why even play?

One thing I can say, is that it took the developers of Madden 4 years to tone down the effectiveness of Pro Set, Off Tackle(anyone remember that, or am I alone on this one?lol). From 1993-1997, all you had to do was have a decent running back, select that play over and over, and score 90 points per game. Didn't need to even be able to play defense, just be able to hold down speed burst, and drop your shoulder once in a while. Then from 2004-2006, all you had to do was trade for Randy Moss(or another fast receiver who could jump, but he was the most effective) and throw fly-route lob-passes all day. They eventually fixed that. I am giving Bort a little leniency because GLB just hit its' first full "year", and we're about 10 seasons into it. He's had some seriously misguided changes in the past though, and if that doesn't change, then the leniency's gotta go.

Overall, I can't say that I'm displeased with my total GLB experience, but it's wearing on me. I'm not longer going to put close to 100 dollars per month into a game that I'm not enjoying as much as I should for that money, not to mention the time I'm putting into running a team and DC'ing another. Time is my most precious commodity(and should be everyone else's), and as soon as it feels like that's being wasted, I'm done. I totally see where Stinky is coming from, and I feel nearly the same. I'm just not ready to fold up shop yet, I still enjoy the people on my team, and the fun we have in our forum...so Bort hasn't worn me out yet. I'm still holding out a little hope, lol.

Sorry for the book guys, this is a subject I've been addressing over and over.

What I don't get is what's new about this. I right-side runs have been the most potent offense since Bort turned down passing accuracy, and arguably were even before that, though 100% mid-to-long passing used to be nearly as unstoppable post-DE-nerf.

To me, stopping the right-side run is sort of the price of entrance as a defensive coordinator.

Agreed, honestly. It just seems that this season, stopping the running game has been harder. Backs fall forward on every play, ridiculous, O-Lines get a huge push no matter how much strength you have at DT, ridiculous. I'm just holding out hope that we can start to see a good build and game plan on defense stand a chance to hold a team to a common number of points, instead of relying on your offense to put up enough to win.

i think its great!

Yes it does and why we opened dialogue with you before our big game to be sure we were both doing the right thing! So far so good in the playoffs in SEA AA3

Yea no worries man I would never run some BS like that on either side of the ball
