Yes, you're right...soon every short bus kid that plays this game will be able to get a trophy

i'm going to build another QB now since secondaries will be getting slaughtered post mentor

Edited due to the fact That I am an IDIOT! I somehow confused confidence with stamina, and am now totally screwed. Yes I would be laughing if I was you too, in fact I am! OH well, My wife has always told me I am am an old and feeble minded man! This just is another example that she is right!

thread is full of lol

Maybe this has already been discussed but my problem with this change is that I am building players to eventually be on my Pro level team with the Mentor ability factored in. Meaning I brought up certain attributes further than I would if I had known their stamina and vision would not be augmented by the Mentor VA. Now, the players I thought would be ready to come in, will not be. This affects my whole team as these players are skill players. For this to be taken away AFTER is had been available to factor it in in a training schedule is the same as saying, stamina and vison are now 18,5 % less effective next season when at the same levels as this season then this season and it is just too bad you have made training decisions based on what we have told you before. I can't undue what has already been done. Those points and that training which would have gone into my players are already distributed. The plan we had to build my team was partly based on factors you have told us exist and now suddenly they do not. I have to ask is there any thinking about how you are effecting others who made long term based on YOUR available tools, that you suddenly decide you do not like. This is not like some play that is an exploit or some VA that boosts their ability when they are behind. This effects a players BUILD!! A player's training combination and order of build that is already in the process of building. For those of you who do not think that is important, then you do not know how to build. With this VA, I could bring a player to my team that has 34 stamina or 50 vision (depending on position) with the knowledge I have time to train/build that up. Thus giving me the ability to work other attributes higher before going to those 2 attributes Now in the middle of those builds you take them away. WHY? really how is that VA giving you too much of an advantage, I will grant you that there should be a limit on vision as it can give a big advantage for DB's who already have 78 vision.

How about making it just a reduction in ability for Vision and leave the Stamina alone? Or limit the amount of points it can help, so that maybe it would be 25% up to a total 4 points in Vision or say 8 points in stamina. But to take away 18.5% is way to much of an effect on many players that had been built with this VA in mind!

paragraphs are your friend

PS: Mentor does not help stamina...lolu

wait I got a link for that http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6474

Dropping from 25% to 7.5% hardly seems worth keeping a player that is declining and can't boost. Wouldn't the reducing mentors to one per position be enough?

I still think the networks will have their mentors. I think this change will only reduce the number of FA mentors for the teams that are not a part of any network.

We will be eventually with some other changes we're going to be working on next season. Consider this the "phase out"

if this is the case then i vote we need to get rid of mentor all together at once. the problem would be for players with multiple third down VAs and only one reset. for example we typically mentor the younger player on defense. he'll have clutch and third down stopper but if mentor is gone then the older player would be better and needs to be the starter but wouldn't be able to properly reset in the future.

So what this means is you're gonna get rid of mentor which is free, and add coaching which will cost us more flex per season?

sounds like thats what they are trying to do to me! Borts been pushing that coaching thing forever!

New formulas for you Mr. Stern:

GLB game changes > more flex AND more flex = more people quitting GLB!

of course

This game can be frustrating at times. It seems like the big kids always get to play with the cool new features while the younger kids can only prepare to play with the new features. The problem is that when the younger agents finally get close to joining in on the fun the fun gets nerfed.

This. Phasing it out by effectively making it not worth the 15 Vet points is silly. Just remove it and give out a VA reset next season.
