Buzzerbeater's title says "GM Simulation " right?

Oh oh. Do you imagine is is a good simulation for the coach to say, "Aw, I don't care, you guys just go out there and play whatever position you want, and come in and out whenever you feel like it. I'm going to go back in the locker room and read a magazine." That is your precious BLU.

...seems to me like they want us to give lineups and weekly minutes distribution a thought each week. And reward those that build a team that can perform well enough to win what they want and get the wanted minutes.

Yup. Nothing wrong with that.

And once they get minutes separated from training it will be even better.

Looking at the logs it seems that Germany used, at best, partial blanks. So even you guys were using it.

That's fine and nobody's crying foul for removing blanks.

Not sure why you're attacking me. The NT problem is about minute distribution and how that reflects on merchandise. Check today's game against England and see if you can spot anything different compared to Germany's previous 3 games, before replying.

And I find it really funny when I see people in the forums throwing out threats about not renewing their supporter because a change affected them in a bad way. A pretty childish move imo.

Hey Manon, that's still not as funny as tanking managers talking about how a difficult game is better! People who chose to run away from the challenge, avoid competing to cash in and train, are once again here schooling others about it. Can't you see the irony in this? I don't know if you can say it's childish, but it sure looks like hypocrisy.

I can understand that it may feel like your being robbed of something

I don't think you can understand. After all you have no NT/U21 player on any of your teams. The change skews the merchandise for top teams with NT players. Are you saying that it is right that fewer managers now get more merchandise from NT/U21 games?

That wasn't against you. If you understand it that way, I'm sorry. It was more the fact that a victory with BLU for me isn't one. So using the BLU is not what the game is about. In addition since it is a bit more (with new BLU) it is more visible who is a good NT-coach and who not. (Now you can kill me )

And at least the last 5 season we (Germany) haven't used BLU for sure. Before i haven't followed that close.

If that's trolling then what is this?

I'm telling you to not claim the higher moral ground, you have none.

i have trained three NT players and have been a NT-manager for six seasons.

It's too bad that the changes affect people who have NT/U21 players this season. You are not one of them, so even here claiming the higher moral ground for what you did in the past (which is irrelevant since you were not impacted by the change) isn't really working. And I'll save you the trouble to check: I do have a guy in the U21 team whom I trained from scratch.

All that will happen is that posts will be deleted.

So should half of your comment. We could save a lot of time for moderators, if you go and revise that post and I do the same. To me it's unacceptable that people (you) taunt and want to teach others lessons on game balance when they themselves are exploiting issues within the game. You clearly are for a more challenging game according to your statements above, but your actions tell us another story. Dismantling a team and tanking is not the same as trying not to relegate while training. One is not challenging the other is very challenging.

It was more the fact that a victory with BLU for me isn't one. So using the BLU is not what the game is about. In addition since it is a bit more (with new BLU) it is more visible who is a good NT-coach and who not.

Look, I think not a single person disagree with this. You can check my game logs and you will see I used blanks/LCD like 2-3 times (1st game in utopia and 1 game of the finals in D2) in like 250 games. I can't care less about blanks being removed. Managers in the B3 can't care less their ratings are gonna look slightly worse.

The reason people are upset is that NT merchandise is now more concentrated in the hands of fewer managers and there are less tools to manage minutes (which btw are completely unrealistic looking at any league in the world). The NT manager has a lot more responsibility (and power), snubbing players for the starting gig, might break top teams financially (since the merchandising boost is directly related to minutes and salary). Example: a guy with 4 NT players now gets much less merchandise because none of them starts and as backups play scrap minutes.

And at least the last 5 season we (Germany) haven't used BLU for sure. Before i haven't followed that close.

Then you will have to explain to me how 12 players can get minutes in a tight or losing game without fouling out. Like this one (30609). You guys might have found a solution to play 12 players if what you say is true. I acknowledge that in most of Germany's games you've played 10 players, so it might be you haven't used blanks that much (still the minute splits reflect that).

Umm..you don't get it. ..... that's what your doing by telling him what to do during every game. ... you or me set up the strategy. .... the coach initiates the tactics within your sstrategy. Everything you have mentioned i have addressed to you now. ...I cannot say the same for you so their is no point in responding to you anymore.
