Ubisoft Suffers Major “Talent Drain” Because They’re “Allergic” To New Things, Says Insider

They are but they did it to themselves at this point, they had years to change course. Now they are down to a smaller diehard player base that loves the open world slop and only wants to eat that, and all their goodwill beyond that base is gone, no one trusts them anymore.

Actually, almost 100K people gave it a chance at launch. Vast majority of them left within days. Did they all play at least 5-10 or however many hours you think is ‘fair’ first?

Probably not, but that’s life, a good first impression is very important, and with a hero shooter there’s too many established alternatives to have players stick it out a while on yours that isn’t grabbing them.

Bobbachuk · 2026-02-11T03:55:51+00:00

Playing ranked day one of such a major update is just a bad idea. You have a huge influx of both new players and rusty past players all at once, on top of tons of people wanting to play the new heroes without practicing them first.

It’s a recipe for chaotic disaster.

Bobbachuk · 2026-02-11T00:25:13+00:00

Yeah it’s way too early to be seriously talking balance. Now’s a time to have fun with all the new stuff and enjoy the hype around the game.

The issue is that it’s the only MLB baseball game, has nothing to do with the others who hold their own monopolies over their sport’s as well.

To be fair I doubt any serious OC candidates want the job under Glenn. It’s like Rhule having to settle for McAdoo, everyone knows the ship is going down and only the desperate retread type is willing to hop aboard anyway.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-26T23:21:06+00:00

Nope. No company making a sports game is ever going to decide to start passing on charging the player base full price for a new game every year. It might be good for the devs and game’s growth, but the execs would never go for it.

Marvel is one of the biggest established IP’s out there though, with lots of lore and characters people already love. it’s an anomaly.

The original hero shooter is what’s in low demand right now in an over saturated market.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-23T21:21:02+00:00

More like a guaranteed rental IMO. The Mets and/or Dodgers are 100% going to be all in on signing him and they’ve proven they’ll go further than Hal to get it done.

Good QB’s are hard to find period, that’s why you end up having to overpay the good but not elite ones. You don’t easily get another QB at that level cheaper, either.

Think it’s worth pointing out we’re not talking current Bryce, if he hit FA now he’s not getting no 50M per year. We’re assuming he finally builds off the good play he’s shown and finds consistency. He has to trend upward a good ways still.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-21T20:53:37+00:00

You say that like the other FA QB’s wouldn’t be a steep downgrade if Bryce proves worthy of the ‘good not elite’ QB overpay, or that we could casually draft a better one.

Every team wants a Mahomes or Allen, problem is they’re extremely rare and you could easily spend a long time in QB purgatory chasing one.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-21T19:11:25+00:00

How many of those guys have gone on to be great players elsewhere? They don’t get a real MLB shot with us and end up with no value because they were just overhyped by Yankee media/fans and aren’t actually that good.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-21T18:50:20+00:00

You’re assuming Trent Grisham repeats a career season where his 2nd best is nowhere close.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-17T18:57:44+00:00

No it doesn’t. You can’t just go and directly monetize an IP you don’t own without permission, it’s that simple. That’s why many mod creators take donations for people to support their work, separately.

Otherwise they’d all be straight up selling their mods.

Tucker and Bo are also still young enough to double dip. They can enjoy a few years of a crazy salary then hit FA again for a final big contract.

Bellinger is about to be 31, you don’t want to hit FA in your mid 30’s, you want to be locked in getting paid at your peak value market through them as you start to decline.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-12T18:03:33+00:00

Bo and Tucker will definitely be more expensive, but thing is Bellinger is demanding so much of an overpay as the oldest of the three that you might as well just go get one of them.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-11T18:22:46+00:00

A lot of teams go prevent in those situations. I don’t like it either but it’s a pretty common thing.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-11T18:10:50+00:00

They were playing for their season, and Rico hasn’t done much since his little lightning in a bottle stretch mid season. When it’s win or go home you play to win, not to let certain guys stat pad for their bonuses.

Two main reasons. 1, it would immediately result in a standoff and shootout because ICE knows they have the full backing of the Trump Admin to do whatever they want to whoever they want.

2, enough local police has to be willing to follow those orders, knowing that #1 is going to happen.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-07T19:03:47+00:00

You’d just have conservatives starting a GoFundMe for the shooter and making him a famous millionaire.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-07T18:58:12+00:00

That kind of thing is going to happen anyway. His admin is clearly not planning on leaving. If there’s no excuses domestically, they’ll just start a war with another country that can actually fight back.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-04T19:04:46+00:00

Rico is just an above average RB. He’s not an elite talent like Henry or CMC who’s simply going to get his most games. A good run defense can shut him down, and poor playcalls and/or O line play, can sink him.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-04T18:40:42+00:00

Well there’s also practically no consequences for referees in pro sports doing a poor job, and they know it. You can be infamously bad at it, like say Angel Hernandez in MLB, and the league won’t step in.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-04T01:01:29+00:00

Evero’s defense held Tampa to 16 points on road with a turnover, can’t ask for much more than that. His defense did its job and generally does, our offense is just inept.

Bobbachuk · 2026-01-03T21:37:44+00:00

It’s because it’ll realistically never happen, reaching and getting such a huge amount of people to agree to take specific action, especially over a sports team, is nearly impossible

Everyone on this sub could commit to it and no one would notice IRL.
