What are some opinions you all have that are unpopular?
I.e. A popular change that people want to see is to be able to pick what categories you get potential for when doing scouting trips.  I disagree and think it is fine as is and if a change like this was ever made scouting trips should become much more expensive to offset the added advantage of being able to see potential for specific categories.  

I share this unpopular opinion. Is it annoying when you have to deal with sending a few extra scouts? Yes, but I like the random element to the recruiting process. Makes us work a little harder sometimes. There should be some unknowns with recruiting, perhaps more unknowns than exist now without making recruiting TOO time consuming.

also the game needs changing, a lot of people really seem against any sort of change

Great point...I'll be sure to start a thread in the Suggestions forum about how WIS should find better customers.

Ettaexpress should be allowed to come back.

do we really have to start this again, didn't you learn last time?

sure im pretty outgoing about my opinion that the game needs changes, but its not like im being a complete a-hole about it, and no matter how great a game gets it will never be perfect , i mean did they not just change the shot clock in real life obviously they understood the game wasn't perfect and decided to make a change hoping for a better result.  

Thats what im saying here, no matter what happens they're always going to be things that could be changed to continue making the game better as there is no such thing as a perfect game.  As a paying customer I should be able to voice my opinion, unpopular or not.

I also love how much discussion your suggestion post in that forum got, I see it really got a lot of people involved and spread awareness for whatever it was you suggested.

sure im pretty outgoing about my opinion that the game needs changes, but its not like im being a complete a-hole about it, and no matter how great a game gets it will never be perfect , i mean did they not just change the shot clock in real life obviously they understood the game wasn't perfect and decided to make a change hoping for a better result.

Uhhhhhh, has the shot clock officially been changed yet??? I knew they were discussing it...but (just to be a dick on my part) it took college basketball 60 years to make the first shot clock rule, another decade to reduce it to 35 seconds, then another two decades to even start the discussion again.

Sooooooo, if that's your best example...then we are on the exact same page...drastic changes shouldn't be rushed into.

Yes, you are paying customer, and you can/should be able to voice your opinion. But if you do so in a dickish way for practically no reason towards people who work at the site and those who cautions against such reactionary behavior, then don't be surprised when there is less tolerance for snide little comments like your initial one.

I was more focused on how quickly they have been going through the process of discussing it and already have it up for vote I believe as I don't think changing the shot clock had a big following until the past season or 2 so I mean within 2 seasons it is already up for vote..  Here even if theres a good idea many people are behind we don't exactly know what happens we are told "discussed at the end of the month" but realistically I highly doubt that.  I mean how hard would it be for them every month to tell us what items were discussed that originated from the forums or support tickets, it would be nice to have some transparency.

Please let me know how I have been dickish in voicing my opinions.  I'm not sure how stating" the game needs change, even though a lot of people seem to be against it" is dickish, I mean did you read the damn title of the thread?  Voice unpopular opinions.  Do I bring up the idea of change a lot?  Yes, but it would be crazier to not be doing that.  The only time I get dickish and aggressive it when certain people try to be funny with their snide little comments.

Here's a link to my unpopular suggestion: Player Role Scouting Trip.
