I dont know what Zynga is. I dont know how much money there is to be made on a game like this but i hardly think it is anything you provide a family on.

Zynga is a developer that - at its peak - was worth around 9 billion USD.

Well, considering he's from Sweden

He? I thought I was talking to a girl. Manon is a female name, innit?

And it's now losing a ton of money ;)

Yours is a bad argument.

Do you agree? Naturally you don't because I gave no reasons. Merely stating a belief is worth nothing.

If the original creators are like me and my friends with our game they probably care a little but not enough to actually do anything. That is their right. Naturally I think they should take the small risk and get another BB or three to do some work on the game.

I don't buy products out of pity. I buy what I want and play what I want. I think they have a great product here so I am happy to play and pay. I think it could and should be improved (as the changes seem so easy and obvious*) but if there was something better I would be playing it instead.


As a person who has been involved with game design I know my programmers always looked for the easy way to fix things. Some things on our wish list were trivial and some were very hard. I would have assumed changing the GE is easy, just tweak some numbers on some of the inputs to make LI less effective and 2/3 zone more effective and problem solved.

I can't see why it would be hard but if that was hard then I would tackle something that I know would be utterly easy, change the salary formula. I know this wont fix things for National Teams but it will for the rest of us and as player builds changed the players would evolve.

Salary Changes
JR way down
OD up
IS way up and even guards must pay a lot
SB way down

FCP being that good is not realistic though. Except for a few college teams, it is not a good tactic and shouldn't be on here either unless you are against weak opp where any D would work anyway.

Other points, agreed.

So whats the point in starting a business and then leaving it at its peak to work for someone else? xD

If you and your friends created a game with nearly 70k users and you want to walk away from it, I would recommend to either find somebody who continues the success story or try to get the big payday many startups have seen in the past.

I think somebody who never owned a business has a different point of view on this issue, maybe thats why I have a hard time arguing with some users here.

Not saying they shouldn't have sold the business while the going was good. However, my understanding is that they are all academics who may not have much interest in a business. The academic life is hectic anyway and has different metrics.

I find it amusing that there is argument on how other people should deal with the decisions in their lives.
