I think that one thing tha needs to be changed is the b3 tournoument,one way would be to make it with group stage,there is a lot of teams who dont go to the next round because of a single game,i think it would be more exiting with group stage.

And as another customer

You are either a volontary worker or an employee (you get supporter for free as far as I know) - the "GM"-prefix puts you in another category. You are definitely no "pure" customer, so as a spokesperson for the company you have to accept that there is critizism. Btw. if you ever experienced raging customers as a call center agent, you would think I am the nicest person on earth.

On topic: where is the season 25 news release? I don't know if the german GMs did release the NT-voting announcement on their own, but its nice to see somebody pick up one of my ideas from back in the days and point out that there is a vote running.

Hi Patje, I think nobody can blame BBs to continue to test the GE in the friendly matches cause I'm here since season 2 and till season 24 the only one tactic useful if you want to win something has been LI. There are 10 different ways to play but again, only 1 is the real option if you wanna be competitive. When do you think we could see a balance among all the tactics we've available?

A new feature related to tactics will be introduced for testing next season's ASB, planned to enter competition in season 26. I believe that feature (along with the change made last and this season) will again bring us closer to a balance in tactics. The feature will be explained a bit in the season 25 news item - which to answer the other questions is traditionally posted after all offseason computations are ready. The idea there is, whenever you see the news item you'll know offseason processing is finished.

But again, predicting tactical balance is very hard since you cannot predict manager's behaviour. Personally, I still don't actually believe there was something wrong with the initial game design (and yes, I do know this is an easy argument ;)), even though we made some changes to this design last and this season. Sometimes consumers just use a product in a different way than expected. This doesn't necessarily mean the product was broken, but it could mean the product benefits from a change.

Thanks a lot, btw no needs to introduced 2 new tactics some season ago if we can't use its; there are only 2 options, if these tactics have the same chance to win in the GE I would suggest an investment in comunication helping us to find a way to use its, otherwise yes, it will be great to have more options. More fun for us, more people and more money for you :p
