Of course I agree with Shikago that their previous policy of "actually announcing gameplay changes ahead of time" was a pretty good one that they could have considered keeping. So maybe that's coloring my interpretation...



What's the gameplay change that will affect the game engine or anyone manages training for their team? This isn't rhetorical, I'm serious.
There is no gameplay change that will alter what anyone does that was changed. Yes, the higher the stamina level a player has the slightly less severe form hit will happen with more and more minutes played. Notice it doesn't mean you can play tons of minutes without taking a hit to form, it just means the penalty will be less severe. Also, training GS will still increase GS, just not at the super hyped levels of previous seasons. Can anyone foresee these changes stopping someone from training GS if they want GS to increase? Will anyone spend half a season training stamina so that form can be minimally "not as bad" if they play more minutes than previously? The premise of the question is wrong and misunderstood - there is no gameplay or game engine change that has been made.

To go along with your "never" comment. Never have I seen a series specific forum thread attempted to have such a gear-change hijack by someone not in said series. He misinterpreted a change and what the change actually can be classified as, didn't post in a help thread or national or global thread, asked a question, didn't like the response he got, then blatantly lied about asking a question to alter the portrayal of his comments. He used some cool emoticons as a "look over here" distraction.

I wasn't trying to offend or piss off anyone with that first post. After being insulted, yelled at, laughed at, and lied to... well... that changes things.

But hey, at least I saw a red balloon.

Still absolutely clueless. Re-read your initial post again and tell me what those question marks mean. Oh yeah, not an opinion, but probably a question....

Sigh. It was rhetorical.

What's your deal anyway? Why so hostile? Just let it go already...

(baloon)





You insulted me, yelled at me, laughed at me when I was trying to help, and then blatantly lied to me. Tell me again it was "rhetorical".

Thanks for the balloon.

Was that a real pause or a rhetorical ellipse [insert rhetorical question mark here].

After all that I can't tell if you like or dislike red balloons.

I think this gif has been long overdue.



Anybody thinking that lathrop is overreacting should remember that he just lost his 2 best players

In Review:
1. lanthrop was trying to be helpful.

2. shikago was trying to be funny and wants a bit of a warning time before the BBs make any changes.

3. I think we can all agree we like the changes (other than the blank lineup).

4. I still enjoyed reading this more then the talk of some crappy screen play.

Shikago just sent me to show me his red balloon. I thought it was something fun and maybe a little dirty.
Sadly, it was just some angry dude and talking about geriatric people's stamina. Who cares if they can't last...they have ages of experience to make up for it.

Absolutely, it's not about how long you last or how big you are. It's how you use it. And old people have replacement hips that give a new meaning to Motion of the Ocean.

For those reading with emoticons and pics disabled, yes, you are right, the crazy level has been raised considerably recently here. However, we're not going to share what that new guy on the corner gave us as a free taste - Hopefully it's all gone and has worn off by now.

i was pleased to see my boys do what they can to help DeSousa to the scoring crown last night.

and if anyone has any ideas why my attendance would be down nearly 10% from my first home game, i would love to hear them. i had won on the road, was undefeated, and yet 1600 fans stayed home to watch the TKI - 10 inch game on TV.

Absolutely no idea. Attendance from game to game is far too fickle. And ticket sales/pricing doesn't really make sense either. That's another thing that needs fixing.

Edit: Well, 10 inch is your rival, so maybe they were checking out your main competition?
