I'm betting none of you, because the lot of you are of the thought that slamming $250 worth of flex into an army of level 1 players in a vain and hilarious attempt to get more stats while ignoring long-term gains is a good thing, because you will be "owning faggots imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh imo tbh."

Kill yourselves.

Long term gains? This is PeeWee where 1 year wonders are the norm, not the exception. As an agent I want my players to best help the team for this one year only so I have no need for soft capping or worrying about longevity. If my team asks me to boost, I boost. Nuff said.

It's what this is all about. If you wanna save skill points and shit like that, go to the D-Leagues.

That's not at all how I see it. Compare GLB to auto racing. In peewee, everyone starts out even, on the same start line in generic 4-cylinder, 120hp cars. The race goes along for a bit, with lots of interesting overtaking and good, close competition, and then at some point someone upgrades their car to a big, 400hp V8 sports car and leaves everyone else in the dust. This may be fun for the person in the sports car, but it sucks for everyone else, and it's boring. That's why, in the past 100 years of racing, they've figured out that it's more interesting when everyone has similarly powered cars and competition is close. When it's not close, it's boring.

Of course, everyone starting at the same time is an improvement over the higher capped leagues, which have turned into essentially the faster your car, the bigger a head start the officials give you.

Why is everyone so opposed to a race where the driver's skill matters? I know, I know, "hurp derp if you boost too then competition is even," but I still fail to see how this is better than the same outcome (even playing field) and not spending extra money on browserball.

Maybe it's just because I have nothing to compensate for but in the end I guess I'd rather loose in the second round of the playoffs than spend $8.50 every season to boost my QB by three levels.

Fuck spec-racing. That was the worst part of Forza 2.

Well the new league restructure won't help because everyone in the lower leagues is going to want to boost to make it up to Gold League.

Just download someone's tuning from the leaderboards. I was able to make an Elise go like, 155 thanks to that. Though I think it was a glitch. I've also got a Pagani Zonda that rips ass.

A racing analogy,,,,seriously,,ok I'll play. In Nascar, until the early 80's there was three or so teams that had factory backing, they got all the money, all the R@D, and the vast majority of wins and championships, in fact nascar is nearly the same today. F1 always has been and always will be two premier teams racing for the championship while the rest of the field are merely enjoying the scenery. Hell, even on a local level. Go to a local dirt track, see the guy that wins every weekend, thats the guy that has the most money to pump into his car. So you can boost and play for a championship, or save your money and be filler. Either way, yelling at the guys that do boost isn't going to make them stop. Besides, as of last season DoRD has proven you don't need to boost to be an elite team, meaning the we lost because we didn't boost argument is out the window.
