Actually, don't even need a poll to show how bad they already look.

Seems like 95% of the posters since this was announced have been against it, but hey, let's ignore our customers and do it anyway.


It seems that way because 95% of the people who post only post to complain. You have no idea how these changes will effect you.

If you have AEQ you have 2 options
a) Sell it back and then your bonus tokens will double
b) Keep it and the Bonus tokens will dissappear. Then it will cost 24 BT's to upgrade each additional level. Keep in mind BT's are easier to accumulate now.


I heard catch on the Radio show say he may actually triple the BTs.

Guys.....whether you like it or not...SOMETHING had to be done because the current system is filled w/ Exploits. This is about as good as they can get it. You got to understand that every change is going to upset some....but in the end they are doing what they feel is best for the game.

As for the 5 "categories" of Hardcore, Normal, Casual, Basic, Peewee

It wont result in MORE CPU teams because the Hardcore/Basic will only create as many leagues as there is demand.

As for Peewee I'm not aware of a problem there. As for Casual and Normal.....I think eventually he will pare down some of the AA leagues....I think that's proved itself to be inevitable.

However another thing you got to understand is one of the main reasons there are a lot of CPU's is there is a waiting list, and if it's constantly full it's hard for Bort to realize that demand is low and he needs to cut out some leagues......I dont want him to ever have to turn down potential new owners or make them wait a season before they can get what they want.......so in doing this what happens is a lot of people get a team on day 43ish and within a week they will sell back....and that kind of screws things up.


OK so I understand if something is broke and you need to fix it but there are other things that needed it first.Changing the money system around is fine if people can exploit it and it needs an overhaul but making it more complex and now you need paper and excel and a math degree to run a team for fun.Not right it just makes a exploit fixed with a more complicated solution's that just causes people more work to pay to have fun for more worry's and more headaches and back to removing my fun from the game.I think this might be right in saying but this to me is a oxymoron solution,sorry but it looks and feels that way to me.
I still feel like someone is playing a shell game on us.Last week all this was going to happen and we had no say then the revised edition comes out and it claims to be better.But what I see is almost all identical changes but in a much different wording and us poor dumb bastards will just go with the flow is the consensus from up above in the head office.

These changes are being implemented because its what Bort wants, not what the majority wants. Imagine if they did a poll on this. Thats why they haven't, it would make them look bad.

That's where I think you're wrong JB, every system will have exploits. I can't emphasize this enough, the more you restrict agents in a GAME that is suppose to be FUN the enjoyment of the GAME will go down. If anything they needed to simplify things not add more shit for owners/agents to figure out/spend more time on.

Wrong....

Hold off on your thought and wait till you see the UI before commenting. I really think you will change your mind...there really is no difference. It went from "deciding which player to equip and how much" to "which team possessions to purchase"

It WONT be more complicated.

While discussing the potential changes one big thing we did was try to come up w/ Exploits...if you can think of any by all means let us know.

Change is a MF..... tbh, I think this is a turning point in GLB. I personally think that most of us will "try" the changes.

But listen up Bort and Catch, If we don't like these changes and people start moving away in droves, What then?

How much does the avg GLBer pay per year on this game? I know I've personally dropped at least $200 or more.

Multiply that by how many agents, owners you have. Then calculate the losses if your changes don't fly...

I have heard complaints from people who do not post...
pretty much near total dissatisfaction...
