You win. Haters, 2. Spud, 0.
Happy?
Edited to say dammit, I got provoked into talking to the background noise again -- my bad.
Does this mean you're not going to post anymore??
It's a Christmas miracle!
A miracle indeed!!!!! Let us all rejoice and be filled with holiday spirit!!! The grinch who trolled the forums with his self pity, self centered, haplessly misinformed diarrhea of the keyboard is done stealing our discussions and lowering the collective IQ of the boards. A great day indeed.
Now that we can use the forum in peace, back to the discussion:
I ******* hate most of the changes in HD 3.0 and think it turned a wicked fun game into a lottery to aid users who suck at figuring out how to play games. Discuss.
Why do you have a team that is 3-1? Did you just begin hating the game over the weekend?
Here is where you misunderstand--I love the game! I hate the changes.
And I still have teams because I can't seem to stop having good seasons and getting free credits to play more seasons. Currently sitting on 8 more freebies, assuming I don't make another consecutive final four run and bump it up to 10. (I am not going to make another final four run, my Nova team got raped by EE's and over the last 3 seasons recruiting I have lost all but 1 battle (I am 1 for 10), 4 of them when I was VH and a much lower prestige team was H. So yeah, long time user, A+ prestige that took me a hell of a long time to earn, and I get rewarded by losing almost every recruiting battle, usually to vastly inferior opponents. Freakin' sweet)
So, if you buy a gallon of milk, don't look at the expiration date, put it in the fridge, drink a glass a couple of days later and discover that it soured, would you still drink it?
The changes are the game. You can't separate them. Playing out credits because you have them is like drinking sour milk.
That is a terrible metaphor. Credits don't expire and make me run to the toilet about to pee out my butt.
More accurate would be I sat down to play blackjack at a casino and won. The casino says "Hey, you are pretty good at this, it is good to have winners around even though it costs us money, why don't you keep playing?"
I say, "meh, turns out I don't like how you guys play blackjack."
They say, "Well play for free then! We really want you to stay around!"
I say, "why the hell not, gives me a chance to win more free." Not that I need or want it, but ****, someone gives you free money you gonna use it. Do you remember from our previous escapades me explaining how hyper-competitive I am? Can't just walk away from whopping other peoples butts, even if the rules suck.
I should add I think it is a terrible business model to give people for wining at your game. Give us a T-shirt, or some worthless in game schwag (like fancier uniforms for the team, or nike elite status or something) but why the hell would you let your core players play for free? We are the ones who love the game and will pay to play it. We should be the cash cow not an expense.
