LOL - I was reading the " GLB is still on Bort's radar" and thought I'd take a peak at league forum activity. It's downright pathetic.
European Pro League
Eastern Europe Conference - seven posts under the "Season 46 GG Thread."
Western Europe Conference - last post on Dec 6, 2014.
North American Pro League
Canada Conference - three posts through all of 2015.
USA Conference - last post on Nov 10, 2014.
Pacific Pro League
Southeast Asia Conference - last post on Jan 23, 2015
Oceania Conference - ast post on Sep 28, 2014.
South Atlantic Pro League
Africa Conference - Three posts in the "Season 46" thread.
South America Conference - Last post on Jan 23, 2015.
WL - 365 posts since Feb 4, 2015 (counting S45 GG thread which include January)
Casual Pro - 369 posts since Feb 8, 2015 (counting S45 GG thread which include January)
1. The dumbest thing is splitting up each conference into its own forum. Keep the league all together and you may get some more activity.
2. Pay people in flex to do a weekly or biweekly review during the season, upcoming season review, and just general chatter to drive activity. It's not that difficult.
3. Cut the leagues down again (there are only three CPU teams in the regular pros but one is 4-4 and tied for 8th place - European Pro.
4. There are several good ideas and maybe its time to start listening to your customer base (hell, I wanted a simple option to allow to receive or kick on winning the coin toss - would this have been real hard to implement...).
I've said it before and I'll make the prediction before the end of this calendar year the game will essentially be done as to me its nearly in the wind up phase now. I'm not sure they can do anything at this point to pump life back in when their interest is in GLB2 (can't stand it and will never transition there myself) and Mighty Brawlers (lol - really, it's a rip off of My Brute essentially).

Game is on it's last legs, this is my last run with Detroit then I am done.
They may make some changes before that Muscle team is ready to be put down - I won't hold my breath either.

I agree with BB. We need some serious changes in the way leagues are established. We have CPU owned teams, owners with pure CPU players; and owners with teams with a LARGE number of CPU players.
CPU teams should be kept out of the Pro level.
Owners with pure CPU player teams should be demoted to a lower level; possibly all the way to Rookie.
There is no challenge in going up against a CPU team. I would rather play a good established team; take a beat down and learn from it. A good tight game is great if you win and a heart breaker when you lose but that is the nature of the game.
I admit I have learned quite a bit over the course of my ownership. Now applying that knowledge to create a truly elite team will be a challenge.

Going to be late or not at all as it took me two plus hours to get into work and hardly anyone is here - stupid snow in Dallas.

Do the best you can BB. It's cloudy and cold today in Houston but nothing like you are experiencing.

Just to get something out there and of course since HOOD is playing BM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*************************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREDICTIONS
WEST
B. O. S. S. vs. Acme Packers - Packers nearly got the first W of the year but fell short. There will be no doubt about the loss this week...125-0.
YOU'RE DEAD TO ME vs. Werewolves of Dublin - If Dublin wants to make a move it will have to start here but I don't think DEAD will just roll over and play dead...38-10.
Twin Peaks vs. Detroit Muscle - This are looking shaky in D town and the Peaks may just cave in the ceiling...34-23.
Off In The Bathtub (A.D.D) vs. Gotham City Rogues - My coin toss of the week has The Bathtub getting two in a row...24-23.
Hotties Pride vs. The Bus Drivers - BD got a huge win over Twin last week and that momentum will carry over to this game where they'll be the Pride...24-16.
DIABLOW DOTS vs. San Onofre Isotopes - Bad loss for the Dots last week and quite possibly two in a row but who in their right mind picks against themselves (we'll get er done)...24-23.
Sin City Dream Team vs. Hawaiian Tropics - This is one of those must win games for both teams and I expect a battle with the Dream Team coming out on top...27-23.
Austin Longhorns vs. Running Gag - The Longhorns are not bad but the Gag ground game is just superior to Austins and that will make the lead swell in the 2nd half..
EAST
Camelot Red Knights vs. Cypress Creek Scorpios - Knights in a beatdown...255-0.
The Underground Superstars vs. Midwest Mafia - Mafia limping in off of being shutout but they'll regroup and get the W here...70-13.
Wonkas' Candy Corps vs. Orange Creek Outlaws - This one may be for pride alone and I'll go with the vets here...27-24.
OffTopica Prayer vs. The LEGION'S Alpha Quadrant - Quadrant will move closer to a playoff spot with an easy win here...100-0.
Uh Oh! HOOD gone Casual vs. Bier Markt - HOOD may have been looking ahead with the loss last week to the Blaze or maybe the Blaze is ready for the next step. It was guaranteed weeks ago the HOOD would win but we know guarantees are only as good as the person typing up in the forum - BM's got this...45-31.
Heisenberg Full Measures vs. Chocolate Blaze - Blaze shook up the division by stomping the HOOD and will look to conintue the winning ways here...48-10.
Nicaragua Chupacabras vs. Dexter's Dark Passengers - DDP starting to seperate from the middle of the pack...100-0.
Her Majesty's Dragons vs. Springfield Rifles - Dragons get to pad the ole stats...255-0.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*************************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BB'S FANTASTIC FIVE
1. Bier Markt - Blanked Wonkas 107-0 to stay undefeated.
2. San Onofre Isotopes - Took down Hotties 52-16 to remain undefeated.
3. Her Majesty's Dragons - Blanked the Mafia 48-0.
4. Running Gag - Made short work of DIABLOW blanking them 30-0.
5. B.O.S.S. - The best two loss team out there and beat a solid Tropics team by 36.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*************************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POW
O
RB Jim Rhodes, Chocalate Blaze. Rhodes busted up the HOOD in the 27-7 win by carrying the ball 40 times for 153 yards and scoring two TD's. Rhodes broke 23 tackles in the game and was quoted as saying "hit the weight room HOOD."
D
CB Mike Kid, Sin City Dream Team. Kid played like a man in the 25-17 win over the Detroit Muscle. Mike has seven tackles (none missed), allowed only two of five passes thrown his way, and deflected three passes on the evening.
SP TMS
K The Blair Kick Project, Off In The Bathtub (A.D.D). In a 22-20 win over the Acme Packers Kick Project nailed five of five FG's and scored 16 of the 22 points put up by The Bathtub. The win marked "The Tubs" first in Casual Pro.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*************************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SURVIVOR
41 entries this week and finally we had a bunch of agents eliminated. With 10 teams dropping out picking Detroit and one taking the HOOD we saw 11 drop out of the competition (sorry but I know some needed the math help - looks to HOOD agents).
