This is a intelligent conversation on how the game works Mike, go be right somewhere else.

I beg you to now not quote some line from here and go "this is intelligent?". Your schtick is old and tired and easily anticipated. Since you are not going away at least try to contain it to threads that aren't valuable.

When you run the show, you let me know. Til then, this is called an "open forum".

But I'm in a giving mood. Don't specifically address me with your nonsense and you might be surprised by the result. Your post added about as much as mine and certainly, if you have the tiniest bit of intelligence you suggest, you know your post goes nowhere.

I don't see this thread as valuable. I see stewdog complaining that he can't just take a recruit from a D2 school by simply showing up. That's what his last thread was and this one is heading down the same path.

So the preference modifier on coach prestige or conference strength is smaller for the D1 school than the D2 school?
In other words, in the aforementioned example, D2 gets a greater multiplier than the D1 school? (It's a better conference or more prestigious school?)
That makes zero sense, but makes perfect sense in the 3.0 world we live in.

Last sentence.

No, that’s not what any of this means.

Look at it this way: a recruit with one single preference of conference strength has two teams put in 10 APs. One is a D2 powerhouse that plays in a full conference, with an A+ prestige. This team gets the very good modifier for the single preference. The second team is a weaker Big 6 conference C+ level also-ran. This team may only get a good modifier for the single preference.

I’m very confident that the 10 points from the D1 school will be worth quite a bit more than the 10 points from the D2 school. IOW, it will take more attention to unlock actions, and if effort is equal, the C+ D1 team will probably keep the D2 team out of signing range. The conference modifier might mitigate the wide prestige difference slightly, but it will not make up for it. The C+ prestige of the D1 far outpaces the single slight preference advantage.

Obviously the D1 gets advantages elsewhere...
But we are saying the recruit thinks the great D2 conference is better than the PAC-10 as far as preference goes?
Again... that would only make sense in 3.0, but you're saying that's our new reality?
SMH

Last sentence.

Yep, its a much better game if Baylor is deemed as inferior to D2 Anderson for a kid who "wants success" or wants a better conference.
Clearly Anderson has the better conference over the Big 12 (or Naismith ACC- it's a B range prestige conference).

Maybe I could stay on for the sole purpose of ticking Mike off. That might be worth it,
i know he will never learn a thing, so...

Probably not a great idea. Mike's blood pressure goes through the roof talking about games on the internet. Not healthy.

All it means is that the formula is not counting the division difference for every separate preference. It’s all factored in the prestige modifier. So basically, the system is not compounding the advantage. Its both more realistic, and makes a more competitive game.

That's hilarious.
Its more realistic that a good D2 conference is preferred over the PAC 10 conference by a recruit who wants a strong conference?
Yep. Ok. Realistic,

Its not more realistic.

It is more realistic than a system that places artificial barriers on who can pursue a recruit. It is more realistic than a system that compounds the prestige exponentially, effectively accomplishing the same.

It is more realistic than the old method of a recruit going to the team with the resources to visit 130 times. It is more realistic than the old method of the top 10-15 teams play winner's ball and get every recruit they go after because no one dares challenge them.

It’s more realistic than a game where a coach gets so entitled that he lands a class of 4 4-5 star players, and threatens to quit because he lost one guy to a D2 team whose coach was bold enough to call his bluff and not back off.

You don't tick me off. You're just making the same complaint you made 17 days ago.

Play the game that's available. The one you want doesn't exist. You seem to be pretty good at it. Whining isn't necessary.

And, FWIW, I don't think you're going anywhere. It's an empty "threat".

Yep. Ok. Realistic,

How many seasons have you been at GaTech? Yep. Ok. Realistic,

Do you see stewdog complaining about realism?

Do you see me pointing out that his tenure at GaTech is not realistic?

Do you now understand my point?

Hell, I even did a copy/paste of his reply. Stevie Wonder just called and said "I can see your point. WTF, cubcub?"

I was mainly talking about how those 3 preferences weren't realistic. But if you want to go on a rant about the previous game, that's cool too.

As best I can tell, this post will be the first time I've addressed you in this thread. Who are you talking to?
