Warrior General Games

Everybody is taking their ball and going home it seems. Maybe it is time to change something? Add more control? Release some details about the sim? A flex bonus or dare I say it...make players cheaper?!?

With 220 agent owned teams I have a feeling that this number will drop dramatically next season. I'm not going anywhere but I don't want to see this game go away.

Inviting your friends has and always will be the best recourse if you feel the game is dying. Everyone benefits.

Dammit Cdog! Let us talk it out amongst ourselves!

maybe you should consider working on a nice batch of updates this offseason and giving a reduction on flex costs (you know, giving back to the community who is keeping this game alive and has been paying a premium price for an unpolished game) and then maybe we will all have a reason to refer some friends to the game. give a little to get a little. or you could continue with your current approach lol

nothing kills a game off faster than threads like these

very obvious WG has no interest in maintaining games... if you want to keep the games going, you're going to have to do the marketing

threads like this are counter productive

I agree that postivies thread helps the game to live.

But at the same time if this thread can help the devs to take good decisions it would be totally worth it.
Taking some time evalutaing what works, what is fun and what isn't can help the game take the "good" direction.

I personnaly think that the fact that offseason changes are announced so late is a big problem, even more when these changes are nerfs, because people are building to win so a lot of people are affected by nerfs.
Don't get me wrong I know that nerfs are vital to keep the game balanced and healthy, and moving too, it's an online game and I do believe that these factors are key to success.
But I really think knowing what changes will happen during the off season would help keeping more people, and maybe attract more player too as announces about upcoming changes can hook up some people.

Also as the game is in a decent balance state atm, I would consider that these things are the one to focus on :
-buffing very weak mechanics for example some SA, or some skill that aren't cost effective
-fixing all the bugs that are easily fixed, even if there isn't a lot it's important, letting some bugs for a long amonunt of time sends a negative message to players
-adding content, maybe a new Trait to allow more variance in builds or a new SA

Nerfs and or major changes should only effect the rookie teams. If teams are built to succeed based on current trends it sucks to just take that all away. I know quite a few owners got burned for a ton of coin with the running nerfs. Right or wrong when a team invested a ton of money to run GL QB spam that is there choice. It was part of the game. The good teams stopped it easily. It would also be just as shitty to take away or nerf the passing to the TE or in the 3 and destroy teams that have spent a ton of money to build their team around it. Just my 2 cents. I do enjoy the game and would love to see it grow not go down hill.


It also is shit for morale when you lose at the end of the game with BS logic or with a kicker that can't hit anything when it doesn't mesh with actual kicking statistics.

Says the guy with 1 player. I want the devs to understand there is a storm approaching and we need to batten down the hatches.

and most of us who have been around a while (and paid alot of flex to keep playing while there was major issues overlooked season after season) are tired of hearing "invite your friends" when the reality is it is THEIR game, they make the profits, WE are the customer. you dont ask your customer to bring YOU business lol. try to think of a world where companies like microsoft relied on their customers to go get people to buy xboxs, not a very good strategy to actually stay in business

if mods want activity, here is two things they can do this offseason and i guarantee it will increase player base by ~100 for next season:

fix some of the more major issues that have been brought up for season after season
-end of game tactics
-block pathing
-add offensive plays (or take the lazy route and have the community do that again too)

fix the flex cost to be more user friendly, even if it is short term (which in turn will lead to more teams created, more players created to fill those teams, and more activity due to those - plus high flex cost is the NUMBER 1 REASON that everyone I have known who has quit finally decided to quit for good)

send out a mass email to all old accounts and inform them those changes will take place this offseason

Add more offense and defense plays. Fix a couple of the glaring problems. Starting with the insta sack pitch plays IMO. People are gonna drop off and people are gonna replace them. It's just the nature of games. But don't stop making it more interesting.

Cost structure isn't an issue at all. That seems like a reach.

would be nice to see the glaring mistakes fixed and a few plays added. make it at least seem like your trying

I think the game is priced fairly. The 2 things that really bother me are in this order.

-Super cheesy 100% rushing offenses
-The overly heavy chemistry penalties in vet

There are some minor things but these two really bother me. I'm kind of burnt out and these two things make me want to take a long hiatus sooner than later.

When was the last season we didn't upload a batch of updates?
