BC, Duke and some 3rd A+ D1 school all at VH all lost to a D2 school at High. Very crazy frustrating. Plus the EEs are frustrating. Why can't declare at the beginning of period 1? That would solve everything. It's a challenge for sure, adjusting to the new system. I do like some things, like the elimination of conference $$$, but I think in many other areas the changes have had some seriously unintended consequences, such as D2 teams beating out A level D1 teams. That just should never happen. Any of those D1s could have put the D2 away, likely with just a HV or two. That's how it goes with internationals. They're expensive for everyone, so often the team willing to invest in some HVs gets him. In this case, it was the D2 willing to gamble and invest (I'm speculating, I don't know the details of effort, but from what I've seen of international battles in 3.0, there's no way a D2 hangs with high level D1s unless there is a huge disparity in effort). And he was still a long shot, he got lucky on the roll. This is the one we note and remember, but probably 9 of 10 times, this kind of battle goes to a VH.This appears to be incorrect based on oldman's statement in the other thread. He made 14 HV and still lost out to a D2. If true, that is indefensible.I agree, if that is accurate. Based on what I've experienced, going all-in on a preference-neutral recruit as a D+ D1, and getting knocked all the way to very low by an A+ who decided he wanted the guy, this scenario looks like either a bug (maybe related to the coach change) or a mistaken account. I hope a ticket is sent and the scenario is clarified.That's my experience in D1 as well. Prestige and prefs really important.

The nonsense of high beating very high. Can only see about 1/3 of the recruits at level 4. Most of the frustration is coming from all of the time and hard work a person puts into the game, with nothing to show for it. So angry that I want to walk away, but at the same time it's so addicting.

You have only one team and it is not good.A D+ team with no upperclassmen, no human-recruited players, run by sim for a decade. You sure told that guy.
Posted by phalla on 1/4/2017 4:48:00 PM (view original):OK maybe I was a dick ... or maybe not. Really don't need some guy that has come back for one team, one season, hasn't even completed recruiting yet, telling me how great 3.0 is.
