ecause tensions simmer. As a 14 year veteran here, I’ll offer my thoughts for consideration. If you agree, great. If not, great. They’re my opinions, nothing more.
A team of perfect cards:
Good God, what a crashing bore. There is nowhere to go, no improvement to be made, and little struggle. Would I like to do it? No…just no. Where’s the challenge? I scrape by on a low budget, and I’ve managed to win the Series in every level but Perfect. Know which team I’m proudest of? The team that won its division in Perfect and took a whale to 7 games. That guy must have been scratching his n*** saying, “How the heck is he doing this to me?”
FTP vs. whales:
I detest the Steinbrenner mentality. If you play that way, don’t feel that I detest you—I don’t. I have lots of time, and invest it—that’s my asset. You’re investing your money—a different asset. My uncle, a lawyer, used to tell me, “There’s two types of people in the world—those with money, and those with time. If you don’t have the money, you’d better make the time.” Of course, it was easy for him to say this…it didn’t take any time, and it didn’t cost any money.
Do some aspects of the game need alteration?
Sure they do. As great a product as this is, it can still improve and broaden…but there will be growing pains. Instead of infighting about them, put your thinking caps on and make suggestions. Don’t bi***—make positive suggestions. Remember, your developers walk amongst you…try finding that at EA or glu. Won’t happen. Try chatting with a programmer from Blizzard. You’d have better luck trying to meet Kim Jong Un unless you happen to be his drinking buddy IRL. Take advantage of that fact by offering up thoughtful ideas…they might get included. Not only do they walk amongst us, they actually listen.
Like I said, I’ve been here 14 seasons…and this community is without a doubt the finest group of folks I’ve associated with online. Let’s work hard to keep it that way.
