I haven't been bankrupt yet, nor do I plan to but if it happens, it happens. Before it does, though, there are players to sell, staff to fire and rehire, and ticket prices to fenagle. If you go bankrupt in this game either you are making some really silly moves as General Manager or you are not trying.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

well, two cents for Verrinho
He means that the competition in some countries (not only in Italy) is very hard and to keep the level high you must spend a lot of money buying players and paying them the salaries. I will not promote in first division but I'm already at the break even point, in the meantime there are countries where you can see bots in the first division, that's a point that has to be discussed but just to close my post, I'm not so worried about these changes, even if I think there will be a lot of teams that will continue to make tons of money (see above why)

Why is it that whenever people want to discuss something and express a difference of opinion while offering alternate suggestions someone feels the need to point out that it's a game.

Thanks for that. None of us had any idea.

Let me see if I understand - because this is a game we are no longer allowed to have opinions about changes being made? Is that your position?

Wrong.

Hmm, things happen in life and in games that you won't like. Adapt and overcome.

How about you give the new system a chance. Perhaps haste is not your weapon of choice here. I will vehemently defend this change, because clearly, the minds who created and run this game know what they are doing. They know far more than you and are privy to far more information about the game.

I understand the need to raise concern, but I feel most of this is garbled balderdash.

Honestly, didn't you think the game would adapt? It adapts, we adapt, it adapts again.
From seasons 1-???

So most of this is garbled balderdash is it? Lets see what your brilliant contribution was. You seem to have made two main points:

1. Changes are needed. Since pretty much all of us have conceded that changes are needed this point is moot. Balderdash if you will.

2. The BBs know more about the game so they must automatically be right. This sentiment is naive at best, since if that were the case we wouldn't be in a situation where changes were required to begin with. I'm not trying to knock the BBs, they have plenty enough to do and do it well, but to claim that they immediately came up with the best possible solution is ridiculous, escpeciually since they themselves admit that it was a rushed decision.

well, i'm just speaking about the italian situation, i know only that situation. but, if the world cup champion country think what i wrote, i believe something is going wrong, don't you?


No.

Winning the World Championships doesn't make that countries' users opinions more important.

My tone here is only bright and responsive, spicy even. Read it as such.

If their solution isn't the best possible, than who's is? Did anyone write up a five paragraph order on how to improve the site and mitigate issues? Than isn't BBs the best possible? Theoretically yes, there could be a better one, but it doesn't exist in our known BB world does it?


We represent a microcosm of mankind, especially so, if you factor the cultural diversity that exists here. Man has historically exploited any resource, recess, advantage and species he came into contact with, in one way or another, directly or indirectly. We here at BB have done what we have always done, found inherit flaws and used them to our advantage. Now, some flaws are dissipating and man does not like losing his advantage does he?

I defend them fully, because they took our suggestions and their knowledge and evolved the game before it was too late. They will never make a perfect patch. There will never be an immaculate version. That is not possible. So again, adapt and overcome.

Well, because it is a game and when people begin claiming that it is stupid or unacceptable or that there is something wrong with it, it leads me to believe that perhaps their perspective has gotten a bit out of whack.

His alternate suggestion was that "something is wrong with the game." ummm...

If you interpreted my post to mean that I believe people should not be allowed to have opinions then you are a very poor interpreter. It is in no way my position. My position is small forward.
