Great improvements for the middle of the season. I especially like the secondary position ratings. Should help everyone as they try to figure out who should play where on their team.

Here's hoping for even more this offseason, especially when it comes to the game engine and stats!



im hoping we get some changes too. big changes
but the chances of that are pretty low imho.
the admins have made it clear that they arent willing to take any risk. i'd rather have them take a risk than not do anything.

but yea, im hoping it will happen, really doubtful that it will

lets not start the new GI year with negativity on what may or may not happen. The admins have promised a change, they just knocked five things off of the suggested changes list, and they have more planned for a few weeks out! Let's give them a shot to see what happens, and appreciate what we got today. The ability to see a players positional rating is a HUGE change that has been needed for a while. I love it

Well the updates have actually changed the gameplay somewhat (for me at least).

I could care less about firing players or the match order button. The top earners section is more fluff but I suppose its more useful than player faces.

The other change on the other hand, the ability to see the rating of a player on your team at different positions has shown me a lot. I figured out that it is indeed very penalized to make an iron-man. However, it appears it can be done with tons of time and patience. My DT that I was thinking of making an OL has had his once 3 star rating degraded to 1 star. However, I had another guy who I was doing it with (you know me, the tweakster) and he has 13.5 stars total in his top 3 positions. It appears that in order to get both position ratings of an iron-man to max, you have to alternate which position they play every week. Then it is possible to max a guy at 2 positions, unfortunately, his ratings will decline once you start playing him at both positions I'd guess. Maybe not though. That is yet to be determined.

I'm by no means truly impressed by the updates but it is nice to know that the developers still exist and haven't lost the internet address of the game. It also proves to me that they can work on more than one update at a time which makes me optimistic for next season's updates.

I think that firing retired player was the best update. I started getting tired of paying players every week that never even see the field. I think that in the next few weeks the admins are going to make some changes for the better.

The updates are great, anyone who says otherwise, keep it to yourself. The admins not only updated stuff, they also posted it on the news page. They are really trying to listen to us and make the game more enjoyable. Thank you for doing a great job admin and here's to another great year on GI!

good update but not great ...i dont care how much money players are making are making so i see the top earners as fluff(even though i did sell a fair few players in that list to prevent me going broke lol)
...I would still like to see stats for passing tds and the 4th down problem fixed as the runs for negative yards on a 4th and 13 when my orders say do not run is starting to really get on my nerves...they are called orders not suggestions. i feel these are 1000 times more important than anything else atm as it makes this game more like what it claims... an american football sim

im not Hating just sharing my thoughts

It was about time. I was a little bit concerned because last news were 2,5 months ago...
