is there any correlation between those behavior type notes that apparently used to be relevant because of dilemmas in the evals and predicting a kid's likelihood for this kind of behavior? ie, is the $20 on the ground kid less likely to *****?

HD is interesting enough without having to worry about some guy griping/leaving who you didn't promise a damned thing to. Again, more features doesn't necessarily equal a better game...it just means there are more features.

The thing I don't like is that you have underclassmen that whine about not getting enough minutes. Saying they want 6 minutes and they are only getting 5.4 minutes.

You're the guy who just said that HD currently bores you to tears. So which is it -- interesting enough or insanely boring?

Daalter, I got banned for personal attacks, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let a guy with you get away with the same, that's why you were redlined...just saying.

Again, there is a fine line between realism and ridiculousness. In this case, HD is too complex for it's own good...it should be on the outs just as grades should. Show me one person that would be ****** if they ELIMINATED players who weren't promised anything, griping/leaving, because I'd love to see it.

colonels, I'm going to put this in the nicest way that I possibly can:

You can redline my nuts, *****.

I knew nothing good could possibly come from unblocking one of your posts.

lol

hey colonels...you're just dead wrong here. players transfer in real life because they don't get playing time...and the reason they don't get playing time is because other players on the team are better than them.

just look at villanova, in the past 4 years Bilal Benn, who was a decent recruit but only averaged 9 min a game as a soph, transferred to niagara. Then malcom grant transferred the next season cuz he couldnt get playing time behind scottie reynolds and corey fisher.

did benn deserve more minutes than he got? nope. he transferred. grant was definitely not as good as reynolds or fisher, but transferred.

this fantasy world you have made up where players "understand they are the 3rd best at their position and dont complain" doesn't exist. if players want playing time, they leave. they only have 4 years of eligibility, they're gonna want to play.

This is colonels, Jet.  He is about to say you can't use real life, unless, of course, it supports whatever argument he is currently pushing.

As I said before, if colonels actually thinks that players riding the bench in real life simply just plaster a smile on their face and patiently wait for their turn to come some day, all that means is that he's never spent any time around a college basketball or football team. Clueless.

Hell, it means hes never spent any time around ANY sports team.

i bet his winter sport was starcraft...

My boredom doesn't necessarily stem from the quality of the engine...it's just me. Again, players who I didn't promise anything to griping DOESN'T MAKE THE GAME BETTER...this may seem trivial, but this would be a reason that I would leave the game, especially if I lose either or both of those recruits. Like I said, there are fine lines of what belong in games and what doesn't...this is way over the top imo.

It's funny because you were the guy coming at me earlier this year about my harsh/brashness, my name calling, etc...and now you simply resort to it while I've scaled it back quite a bit. Way to take the high road and learn something. As always, I'm as bad as you want me to be. Feel free to return to your censored life because you have no self control...

Even if my claims are wrong, I still don't think that players griping about minutes who weren't promised anything should be apart of this game...while we're at it, grades too. That's really the main point here. The game doesn't benefit at all from having pointless miniutiae like this. Again, HD is interesting enough without having to babysit your whiny players, and trying to adjust my lineup NOT so that I have the best 5-10 guys on the floor the most...but to please all of my players all of the time because they'll leave if I don't. It's clearly detrimental to the game.
