....and b*tching so if you don't want to read it stop here.

This team www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx has had effectively one good season in the last 30+ years.  "Good" for Missouri being just making the NT and winning just a single game, so still nothing earth shattering.

At the end of the season we lose our best returning player to EE.  Now coming from a program without a ton of success you'd think he must be a stud.  Judge for yourself...

Ath: 84
Spd: 38
Reb: 99
Def: 99
SB: 83
LP: 88
PER: 1
BH: 11
PASS: 39
WE: 86
STA: 74
DUR: 85
FT: C-
OVR: 787

Solid, but certainly not a stud.  Certainly not someone that should be going EE...

ESPECIALLY WHEN HE IS THE LAST PICK IN THE WHOLE FRIGGIN DRAFT.

Seble, hurry the eff up and do these changes to the draft logic you've been talking about.  You've pretty much just made it impossible for Missouri to be able to build on the success that it took them 30 years to have...all for a guy to be the last pick in the draft? These are not changes that should take weeks to roll out and frankly they should have come months ago when people started letting you know about how ridiculous the logic was.

Yeah, I think its a load of bullsh** as well, but it seems that seble cares more about giving us pointless tools to make recruiting less time consuming than he does about making the game as a whole more playable and fair to all players.

The problem is that there is no competition to WIS, so they can just do whatever the hell they want and be extremely lazy with improving the game and players will not leave the site.

Yeah that sucks.

Stinks for me too, since I have St. Louis and now you need one more player to recruit.

seble is RIGHT NOW completely redoing the whole EE process ... so why the bitchin' like it is not being addressed?

Because it should have already happened especially when his post on 5/31 was written in a manner that would indicate hed already made the changes and tested them which to me means it shouldnt take but a couple days to release once thats been done. Nevermind the fact that people have been asking for these changes for months.

So you want them released without testing or allowing for commentary? If they were released immediately and there was the smallest error, you would be making a post whining about that. He had run tests - that doesn't mean the teats didn't reveal other things that needed fixing.I

Tools that many players specifically asked for. Those players should be ignored to cater solely and only to you?

First of all, off your high horse about whining when I freely admitted in my first post that I was going to be ********.

Second of all, if there were things that needed to be fixed and it was a work in progress then it should have said as much.  "I want to do this...I'm trying to get X result", etc.  Not "I did this, and I did that, and this is what it's going to mean going forward" which is exactly what he said.  

Third of all, point #2 aside, what is the worst that can happen if the new logic doesn't work out as planned?  More seniors get drafted?  I'd rather have that than guys going that shouldn't be going.

Man, I really hope that was a typo and not what you intended when you typed "teats".  If it's not a typo, it's actually pretty damn funny.

By the way, I know it was supposed to be "tests", just messing around.

... You know, with the way you are going on here I think you would be he LAST person in the world that could complain about someone being on a "high horse" as you talk from your "high elephant" ...

Agree, it's the competition thing. If there were a better mouse trap, HD would be a ghost town. Alas, nothing better exists, and I can't program. :)
