yer thats right - i guess their idea is that the want more people to 'bluff' their opponent.
hah... Look Inside again ... or maybe not!
suddenly the opposition defence crumbles and your generally 'medicore' outside offensive is improved.

lots of people were asking for the value of JR to be improved (or the salary component, or the training speed)
other people wanted SB to be more effective and the 2-3 zone to be changed.

They did the SB change, but really, i think thats done SFA.

So i tihnk they decided that instead of trying to drastically change the internal mechanics of the game, just boost the existing mechanics - but only if you guess right.
So now SB is better and 2-3 will be imrpvoed... but only if you guess right :)

So thats the logic that they are trying to do.

if teams are able to come out and say 'yup i bluffed him into a 2-3 zone and then i played motion and i kicked his ass', then really it will be a HUGE step into eliminating the whole constant LI-M2M aspect of the game.

I'm guessing it's too hard for them to mess with the existing code. It just looks like they've taken the easy way out and added a patch job solution that's easy to implement. Not surprising considering the total lack of development over the last three years.

its probably more the on-flow of changing base elements in the game.

If you totally changed the Look Inside engine, then maybe it would just lead to say, Motion becoming the choice offence for everyone. and then you end up with the same problem. You would be forever changing the game as users found out the best way to play it.

Doesn't this already exist naturally in the game though? If your opponent plays the same tactic each week you're able to set your team accordingly. I'm not convinced that a bonus for guessing right (key word being guessing) really adds anything to the game. I certainly can't see that it's an improvement.


Yep, totally agree (62372606) 1 from 19

Nah doesnt appear to be the case.

Believe it or not there have been exactly the same amounts of wins as there have been losses so far this season

Just because my team is last doesnt mean that I have been tanking

well, usually when one team loses, the other wins, so after two rounds, id kinda expect this to be the case.

OH I KNOW, you mean between the two conferences im just pointing out that your quote has a double meaning which is funny.

Maybe Whitebeard might tank although I dont know that he could willingly do it

Speaking of tankers, I see Adams Guns who would be one of the wealthiest Managers in all of Buzzerbeater is down in Div 4

Myabe for the percentage? Teams are relatively even across our conference and percentage may play its part come relegation/finals time...
