Whatever happened to GM advisor?

Jack Parkman · 08-04-2012, 12:31 AM

Remember in previous OOTP's when you would make a trade you would see something like this...

"If we do this trade, Dinner is on the house!"

I liked the second opinion because sometimes I can't tell if i am being raped or if the deal is too lop sided.

I was wondering is there a way for it to be back in the game?

Actually, Jack, I don't miss that. It got to be annoying (not that I know what I'm doing all the time, of course, but the advice seemed too frequent and hysterical at times). But, I can see some players needing the comfort (no condescension meant at all - I'm currently below .500

) so it might be good to bring this feature back.

If those comments eventually portrayed variant personalities based on manager and/or coach ratings or tendencies, I'd advocate bringing it back in a heartbeat. As long as it's an automatic, redundant, provocation to make you fiddle with your deal and drive up the number of players involved in the trade, good riddance.
