New HD - lets just call a spade a spade Topic

For all the makeup that Seble tries to use to cover up this new offering, he won't be able to hide what this truly is. At the heart of all this is his attempt to help the mass of players who can't succeed on their own. Players want more randomness, from game results down to recruiting. "Why should the best team win all the time"...."why should the best coaches get the best recruits"? "Please Seble, is there something you can do so that I can hope to compete with the top coaches". "Please can we add new worlds go I can get a Big6 job".

Some call this the entitlement generation. And it has finally crept into HD. Lets blame the game for my failures! How soon we forget everyone had to start in DIII and work their way up. And of course it makes good business sense for Seble to listen to the whiners. WHY? Only 64 teams make the dance in each division. Lets face it, there are A LOT more bad coaches out there than good ones. The majority wins. So some of us will hang it up and say goodbye to Hoops Randasty. Meanwhile a new group of coaches who are left will figure out a way to rise to the top....

Then we can hear from all the others who still have failed, how changes need to be made to help them succeed.

Either that or they could've kept things simple and just changed the job logic at D-1. It would've made seble's job easier and would've kept everyone happy. Why the huge overhaul in recruiting, I have no idea. I haven't checked in, in a few days, but last I heard, they were giving the advantage back to the higher prestige teams, which is fine and I'm ok with that, but it defeats the whole purpose of revamping the entire recruiting process. My only logical guess left is maybe it's a marketing ploy.

Best post on the update, hands down.

I couldn't agree less with the op.

Trenton Joe is right. If you're going to call a spade a spade, first get off the rag. Now call a whiny BS thread a whiny BS thread.

So what ian? The A+ durability guy is part of the new rules. It has nothing to do with being entitled and I don't find it an inconbivennce at all
6/12/2016 8:39 PM
the durability has nothing to do with entitled its just one way the update incorporates more luck into scouting and this update because it shittily hides information behind a wall where the values are diluted to being pointless level 1 scouting is absolute dogshit. Most people saying they like the luck usually suck and are liking the update because they see themselves having a better chance at not being ****. it's just another example of "poor" implementation of the scouting levels, I'm all for scouting levels if you make each one useful and not just some barricade to hide information. Right now level 1 and 2 are garbage, level 3 is maybe passable for D2/D3 since you know the corresponding range of numerical values so it just comes down to who spends the most time clicking to level 4 information

joe - I respect your opinion. We all have different ones.
Spud - you are basically a newbie punk who spouts the kind of dribble that Seble would be better off ignoring.
Theonly - even though we agree on this topic you should tone down the hatred a notch
6/12/2016 9:00 PM
user error message read wrong, hatred level increased 3 notches as result
6/12/2016 9:05 PM
if I understand the new game, at hatred level 2 you cant tell who or what you hate
6/12/2016 11:03 PM
yes but I increased to level 3 at A+ so it's hard to still tell I could be at 75% hatred or 100% hatred if I only had some bonus money to afford that 4th level

You're entitled to your opinion of course TJ, but Mully happens to be correct on this one.

Is this an alternate account Seble uses? Sure as hell seems like it.

LOL, is someone keeping an open mind about the beta and actually trying it out so foreign that you start conspiracy theories?
