I got bored and almost quit the game.....but I decided to drop, sell some of my players and train two player for the NT....kind of like a willing farm team.


Maybe you should have stopped, dropped, shut em down and opened up shop. In the famous words of DMX.

I too would rather not have just a blank lineup option either, but when setting minutes decreases your chances of winning, what can you do?

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Maybe you should read to whom that message was addressed. Else why would I have mentioned JBBL? :)

The "2nd division" post wasn't even directed at you.

See, people who use blank lineups aren't getting everything for free. Given that, it's hard for me to see why removing this option really improves things for the overall user base.

I disagree, the #1 reason managers are/were leaving was a lack of tactics which made there be a lack of FUN. Every year things get more complex.....video games, cellphones, cars...more bells and whistles the better.....but around season 16....BB got less complex. I remember when Sharmen won the BB3, the two teams in the final ran PTB..When was the last time anything other than LI was played in a BB3 final?
I know that they are trying to work on the LI/MTM problem...but this is just my opinion....I feel that since you can not recreate the subbing pattern that a blank line up gives you while setting your own line up, then maybe choosing a BLANK LINE UP actually gives a manager an in game advantage over someone setting their line up. I know a couple seasons back Marin said they were looking into getting rid of blanks for NT games.......but why not for all games????

My suggestion to keep people from leaving the game is to refrain from removing tactical options, like blank lineup. It's not wrong, and doesn't need fixing (as I discussed in my 2nd? post to you).

I would further suggest that if your friends only set blank lineups and did nothing else, that's a reflection of their own lack of imagination. No amount of reducing options in the game will change that. My guess is that these kind of managers would simply choose the same exact llineups every game, even if there were no blank option. They'd set a default lineup, and nothing else. Thus, in removing blank lineups you have not changed the behavior of this type of manager, but at the same time you've reduced the tactical and strategic options available to more active, and thoughtful, managers.

I can't quite fathom why you feel discussing and debating your suggestion should not be allowed in this topic. It seems perfectly on topic to me. I love the game too, and don't want it to see it harmed. And it's hardly crapping on your ideas when I give detailed reasons why I disagree with them.
