It was funny for April 1st, yes, but for the future of the game is not.

Don't be so quick to judge people...

There are teams out there that try to set up the team spirit in a way that can give them success for the season and try to promote. Adding a feature that is not documented and that can profoundly affect the result of the games is not something you should laugh at, not with the air of superiority you try to show.


Since April 1st is over, I'll now say that choosing the option doesn't do anything except display an April Fools message.

No one that chose Bribe The Referee actually had their Attitude changed from whatever they set.

The first thing I did was to try to select those options (maybe just curiosity) but now I´m feeling really evil, as most people did not check it and discover the hidden message...

That's for the bribe referee, but I saw the players we played last game, they used steroids for sure.

They were way beefed up compared with our previous game!

Did you make the steroids reference intentionally? (22417.1)

I'm sorry, but this thread is way funnier than any joke BB's tried to set up.

I just think it's hilarious how people got all mad about it hahah

they're not even options you can choose (bribing or steroids)!!

come on, its just insane that anyone would actually complain about this, hilarious, once again

God's Patience and the human ability of complain are both infinite... therefore I wish the BB developers have a lot of the first thing.

You don't get the subtle humor from the complains. How sad...

Well I like jokes a lot but this one made me lose my game and the 1st playoff spot... I didn't check on my tactics as they were already set. Now I lost with 28 fouls against 8 for my opponent:S So it's obvious he bribed. This first place is way more worth than 100.000 in cash because of the home advantage.
So basically april jokes should consist of options like steriods which do not do anything or stories that are not true. I too think it hurts the game in long term when jokes like these can affect outcome of matches. I see that it's funny when you win of course but this joke hasn't been distributed equally across users as some noticed and some just didn't.

The options "bribe de referee" did not work at all, just a joke, when you choose the option a message warns you that this option does not exists.

On the other hand, I think the other team probably bribed your coach and players (;-), as he chose defending outside (1-3-1) when your opponent was attacking inside (Look-Inside)... and your players took it easy (or the other team CT).

haha then it was such a good joke that it even fooled me:D Then I assume that my players just wanted to hit the opponent because they couldn't win:P I took a gamble on TIE and outside defence as he played motion most of the times, too bad
