I know they wont be effected by this 1 rule, but they have to read this one and all those others and eventually they will 'bother' them once in the future.. It just feels like 'to much to handle'..

Its sucking out the fun for the most of it..

Ps im a newbie now, but i have played the game since S4 for 20+ seasons.

Building my team years ago seemed more fun. Getting dictaded way to much now how BB thinks how i should run my team instead of me running it the way whats best ànd most fun for me.

The amount of managers total still declining right? I dont know why its declining, but i can understand for a real newbie all those rules are just way much to grasp when reading the game manual..

The last home game had 73% attendance (which is very low)

With the boycott you would have got 60% of the 73% so approximately 43% of the maximum capacity.

You have not been affected by the fan boycott.

And he will never be affected as he faces non-human teams in both conferences. Amen.

This is a minor detail that had been brought up multiple times when discussing about tanking in the past and that Mr "We Read And Consider All Posts", aka W.R.A.C.A.P., Foto decided to ignore completely when it was mentioned in this very thread.

Now before I get accused of making things up, I will quote myself when I addressed w.r.a.c.a.p. Foto directly:

All of this while not punishing ANY tanking team in divisions where there is at least 1 bot per conference (and they are the majority in BB). Congratulations...you should have listened to Perpete.

Perpete, feel free to amend if you think the sarcasm is excessive

Seriously, this game is getting way to complicated for newbies.. there are just way to many rules for this and for that..

Newbies won't be affected by the boycott. They won't have the funds to make a difference by it. Unless they get really lucky and draft and sell a 5+ million dollar time.

Attendance penalties start at $500,00 or more per the Game Manuel. A new team that conserves cash could easily save more than that and potentially face the penalty.

I have to admit that I've lied to you, it was in this post (282669.113)
Time to make it true from now on.

The thing is though that many users complain over different things in the game and if nothing is done there is more complaints. But as a change comes to address something a storm of complaints come because of changes being made.
I'm not sure how they should do to keep everyone happy. Do you even think it's possible?

This is the second time in a few days you've dismissed very reasonable posts as complaints. You really need to understand the difference between a complaint and criticism.

If nothing is done there are complaints. Yes, and that's perfectly alright as the game isn't perfect and can be improved.

But as a change comes to address something a storm of complaints come because of changes being made. Again, this is perfectly alright, especially if, as several clearly intelligent people have done, this comes with an explanation of why the changes are not a good idea.

I'm not sure how they should do to keep everyone happy. Of course this is impossible but no one expects it, and its silly to even say it. Lets puts a stop to constant staff complaints about legitimate criticism from users and instead perhaps see some of those criticisms (especially those with very reasonable questions) addressed.

I have understood that key success factor related to change management is good communication, maybe that could be tried next time - now game is lost already for this season changes ;)

Because the game is clearly headed in the wrong direction - has been for like 6 years or so. There have been so many wasted opportunities to fix certain issues and every fricken time the communication failed miserably.

Now the game is becoming rocket science and the old "no spoonfeeding" mantra is obviously the main problem here. Releasing a season news post after the first season game is stupid, because many users plan in advance. Having to explain this to you and your posse is tiring and even more frustrating.

So since you know a thing or 2 about tanking, maybe you can answer about the fact that the rules affect nobody playing with a bot, but can affect people with injuries and training (see my team in Utopia last season for reference, started 0-8 due to injury then went like 8-2 or so, without adding anyone)? I don't expect Perpete to answer since he didn't support this change, but, by god, some individual with (presumably) average intelligence did vote for this so he should be able to explain why all our concerns were not taken into consideration and why this change is better than no change or other changes.

What had been suggested (multiple times) in the past in forums was a system based on 2 criteria:
1) losing streaks (against human teams)
2) PD (against human teams)
If you have bots you have an advantage as it takes longer to get a long enough losing streak, but at some point you will be penalised as you should. With the current change you won't get penalised.
