day 48. that's 16 days of training at what is arguably the most important part of the build process.

Way to fight fire with fire! At least you guys moved on.

I'd have to do way more digging to find it than I feel like doing now, but someone on here ran the numbers waaaaay back then and found that the difference is miniscule in the end. Not saying there's no difference at all, but it's tiny. There were guys back then building WL dots who boosted on Day 32, so I'm not exactly out on a limb on this.

I assume the difference now is that nobody gives a fuck about Rookie (or anything below Natty Pro), in which case, sure, boost on Day 48 of EVERY season. Might as well. But the way I figure it, I'm paying for 12 seasons. I don't see the point in ignoring the first 7. I guess that's just me.

It's not the boosting that causes the damage... it's spending the SP's from the boost. So if you boost 3x and DON'T spend those SP's then you can still get the benefit of the EQ upgrades and still train skills (multi-training by this time for most everyone) while they're low therefore getting the max out of the training (which is quite substantial at that lower level). If you spend the SP's and boost up the skill then you lose some of those bigger gains from training. So Boosting is ok... just hold the SP's for later. You should still be good enough to beat those one-&-dones with that.

TBH, I still build by the laws given to me by better builders than I whom I have learned from along the way. #1, boost only when you can cap... and #2, train skills at lower levels for as long as you can before you boost/apply SP's.

No, you moron, that is exactly one of the teams your dumb ass tried to trash Darn Cat about for complaining about, and now you are complaining about the same team. Wow, your complete idiotic hypocrisy and delusional unawareness is simply stunning... you people must all be trump supporters.

The problem with boosting like this though, is that your wasting your ALG’s and training percentage gains by doing this. It’s worse to do this at these levels that need to take advantage of all the training you can possibly give your dot’s major skills as getting them as high as possible, as quickly as possible, is necessary. It’s all about efficiencies, that boosting for EQ and not skill caps wastes away ALG’s and lowers potential training percentage gains.

well, if you want to punt against a team of shit dots have your punter set hangtime and every one will be a fair catch. Put a C at K for kickoffs and it wont matter either


just never punt and have the punter do the KOs.

I agree that the best ALG gains you get are the early ones and I wouldn't boost early myself... but for those that wish to, just to get the bonus to their free EQ for the playoffs, then I suspect it won't matter that much to them. TBH, before GLB left BETA and there was pretty still pretty decent variety on dots at the high levels (such as the times Novus was mentioning), I'll bet the small differences weren't noticed nearly as much as they are now. Not many noobs building around but a LOT of long time builders who have perfected their craft so the differences between dots at plateau aren't as varied as they use to be and the smallest amount of gains you can get over your counterparts is worth waiting for. IMO.

Darncat. I know it’s tough to comprehend things, especially when you’re so obsessed with me, but I was making fun of Novus, since he is the one who’s complaining. Nice try though!

I rejected a contract from darncat last season and got this reply " You won't find one. Have fun losing; we will make sure to beat whatever subpar team you sign with 255-0"

This season I got another offer from him that says this "INT CB specialist for elite aggressive defense! Multiple trophy winning team one point away from NA Pro title last season- lead us back to the promised land!"

I tried to respond asking him about employment opportunities but he has me blocked

I almost want to sign just to see what goes on in the team forum

As far as I am aware, d.c. is obsessed with music and the Cleveland Browns. I am not sure why the response went to you and not the OP. Its the first time I ever personally used the quote button and possibly i pressed the wrong button. I'm blaming it on my iPhone. Either that or my fat fingers. In any event the team is maddening. All they do is cheat and lose on purpose and it makes the game less enjoyable. I'm talking about this slim jimbo team and also the college station aggie jonny manziel loser. It looks like both of them moved into National Pro this time so please people don't fall asleep- crush these pathetic teams and make them regret ever playing GLB. The only reason their crap works is because people on auto-pilot. Like has been said, use punter to kick-off against them. Here how you do it: have the punter first on the depth chart for K, and the real K second. Then have the punter also be the only placeholder for kicks. That way, your kicker will still do extra points and FG, but the punter will do kick-offs. Against the college station aggies, just play outside run defense every play. Blitz the slot with all the barrels or something. The bum's QB only gets yards because cpus and auto-pilot human teams don't try to stop it. Now both these teams are in National Pro so i am expecting GLB active players to do the right thing and humiliate those blatant cheaters. I wish they were in our league so we could help do that but alas no dice. Just everyone keep a heads out for those cheaters.

This is what goes on in the forum. Nothing of note, other than d.c. giving his inspirational pep talks every time we have a big game. If GLB gave extra points for super hype pep talks the team would never lose! Unfortunately it don't but his motivational speeches are enjoyable. Makes it more fun when you pretend its real football lol

Any interest let me know. Or I'll just sign him to the D leagues again.

even this doesnt work because eventually, your coverage guys are just too tired to play any more. what teams really need to do is slow down their offenses so that they dont score on every offensive play. he cheats by not covering any receivers and using offensive players on defense. it's too bad they stopped banning people for doing that. i would take a knee on every 1st down to run an additional 30 secs per drive. would also be a good game for pQBs to in some qb sneaks and rQBs to toss some passes to the bTEs and bFBs. it would suck for the playoff seeding to come down to who gave up the least points to this cheater.
