how does

LI totally dominating the game
2/3 zone being useless
draft picks being 90% worthless
players being so cheap cause of free agents that middle tier teams have 2 bankrupt themselves 2 try 2 promote
training becoming worthless
5th being clearly better than 3rd or 4th

help the middle 40000?

& lots of us do pay

I don't think that LI totally dominates except at the top of the game. I have written about is before. Go check 50 d.iii leagues and see how LI does against other tactics. I did exactly that and found that it is not nearly as dominant. Same for 2-3. Draft picks are not worthless for lower division teams. In fact they are quite the opposite. Cheap players allow low division teams to improve their rosters. I disagree with you that training is worthless, and the lower level your team, the more important training is.

You pay because you choose to. I really cant figure out why someone would pay for aroduct that dont think is any good, but that is a different story. I do agree that, should they choose to shutter the game, the owners should stop accepting supporter payment and keep the game alive until the last package expires.

What are the problems that affect all teams? I believe that tanking should be addressed, and the developers have said they are working on a solution for that. People have said they want to know well in advance of any changes, so they should understand that the developers want to be very thorough in addressing the problem before they make a change. What's more, if the changes will hurt tankers, why do we need advance warning? We should spring it on the tankers without warning and screw their lame decision. And if you get caught tanking, tough luck. No?

i agree that li only dominates @ the top end of the game but @ d3 u can play princeton/fcp & still win cause the teams r so uneven so i dont need 2 check

what is clear is where teams r even in the best competitions li/m2m is trumps

draft picks r not worhless 4 lower div teams but same for guys they can pick off the tl for $1

i hope i didnt say training is worthless & sorry if i did cause i dont believe that but it has been eroded a lot

i pay for a product i think is really good im sure i said that in my post

but in the best online games the devs listen 2 feedback from the community & at least say something 2 address the perceptions if not actually do something

often in games like this perception = reality

so if "the community" thinks there is a problem there is

I don't think it is "even" comp that causes it. And best comps are such a minor fraction of this game, they should not be important when trying to develop the game.

You cannot get Superstar+ potential 18 year olds on the tl for $1k. In fact there are only 32 superstar+ potential 18 year olds available for less than $100k. I get your point, but I think you were overstating things a bit.

lol i never said superstar potential 18yos 4 $1k

but what u can get is fine $4k 18 yo allstars 4 $1k
or even $3k 19 yo superstars 4 $1k
right after the draft

the fact that u can get guys 4 $1k much more easily than u can draft them even if u spend $280k on scouting just seems wrong & out of balance
