Several good things in the news update. Good job BB

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

I agree. Great update for this season with the tactical balance and fan survey!

I love that they have made a change to the Fan Survey. Hopefully it's much more realistic.
The crazy Fan Survey and the draft/scouting are the two things that drive me crazy about this game.

The "fair play" financial change could be nice depending on how it's executed.

I have to say that right now I think I hate the idea of the upcoming opponent strategy guessing game. I understand that people want to balance out the strategies more, but I don't really want a game where I have to switch up strategies all the time for no other reason than fear of a guessing bonus. I especially don't want to have to worry about switching up defenses often since I feel like there is already a pretty big risk with playing the wrong zone. Maybe it will be fine, I'm not trying to bash, just voicing my reservations.
I'm hoping that the game engine changes aren't going to be an every season thing, especially since it takes a long time if you try to train and build a team the way you want it. It also introduces chances for just another strategy to become "overpowered", which results in more changes and makes everything seem pointless.

Also, as much as I don't want to side with angry guy, the GM comment about supporters not being customers is just wrong. Whether through paying for supporter or through ad revenue we're all customers and I don't see how telling people to just "stop paying for supporter" is helpful no matter how annoyed you are by their posts.

The face editor is pretty cool. Maybe it will cut down on the number of redheads.

- To more in depth tactics and possibly alter the LI domination, you will be able to guess your opponent strategy, giving you a boost.


So, to address a potential imbalance in the GE/Training/Salary structure a new feature will be added to help address the root cause. Wouldn't it make a little more sense to address the root cause and fix the imbalances directly?

The change to JR salary is a good move. It was seasons late on top of short notice, but a good move for the long term either way. Prefer more of this: tweaks to the GE, tweaks to training speed/option, tweaks to salary for skills.

This move comes across as ugly patchwork to hole in the system. The GE doesn't reward well balanced teams as it should so instead of fixing that a rock-paper-scissors gimmick gets introduced. It's not even original, it was stolen from Tecmo Bowl. lmao

Fan Survey should be less dependent of the last game.

Of course, everything depends on how it actually works in reality. But I think that it actually would reward balanced teams who can play different strategies effectively.

Instead of adding another choice it'd be nice if the GE itself was engineered to be more realistic.

I want to say good job for the new features/changes and for the upcoming ones... I like ALL of them

But I'm questioning myself about two things announced in S24:
1) What about the time limit for users to candidate themself or vote in the election? I see no news about it.
2) What about WOs? Last season they announced for this season that giving a WO would drop your team by 1 position in the draft... is it implemented already or not?
