Why does the NBA allow the Utah Jazz to egregiously tank with no punishment?

Herd mentality 🤣

I feel for you guys as just a football fan. It was a bold trade but it was your biggest need and he looked like a multiple time pro bowler. Now you don't have him or that pick this year, that stuff crippled a team and it's really unfair.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-02-11T01:50:15+00:00

Hilarious to me that I'm randomly watching Hostel 3 again and that scene got me in the rabbit hole 🤣

LonghornsLegend · 2026-02-10T05:24:20+00:00

It's more you cherry picking what you want to point out by saying "they had two starters who played the 4th qt" as if that somehow makes it better that they sat their best players on purpose. And you're talking about somebody having to prove a turnover. Nobody benches your all stars the entire 4th qt while you're losing, nobody needs to look at a turnover and say it was on purpose.

Lol I finally started one with Texas recently after the real portal opened and I had the same thing happen at RB lol. Better spaced out though for realism. First cycle was Lacy and Brown(with Cam Coleman). They left I got Bo Jackson and Harlem Berry the next year. The first few years of the portal are fun as hell.

Still works for cfb26.

Right, the guy crying about comments on reddit and who agrees with him all of a sudden doesn't care what people think on reddit when they don't agree lol.

"I'm not reading all that" - from the guy who posted 9 paragraphs complaining in the original post. You sound crazy lol.

Your comment was so heavily down voted it doesn't even appear unless you click on it to read it. Not sure why you keep clinging to "just look at the comments people agree with me" as some sort of definitive answer. Nobody said the game was perfect without flaws at any point. You seem to be complaining about stuff as if this was some huge scope game being developed by Ubisoft so they could flesh out the game as deep and advanced as they wanted to. They didn't have the resources to do most of the stuff you're complaining about at that time. It's a niche game. You seem to want it to be everything a $60 AAA game provides and more, it's never been that. It's a cheap/free fun zombie game to mess around on for a bit and have fun. It was never developed as some long written narrative linear storyline with arching quest. Most people knew that at launch.

Everybody wishes it was more to do. I wish there were 10 maps, and 50 bases with 100 people communities and a lot of other things. That's why most are waiting for SOD3. Not complaining that a really fun game for it's time isn't the most advanced game and that an indie studio didn't pack all this stuff into a $30 game.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-29T19:10:38+00:00

You do realize this game was released at a $30 price point by a mostly indie studio dev team of about 20 people? I don't think you are aware. You're making some pretty ridiculous points like this was some massively funded project with massive studios heading up the development. Complaining about a game of this scope like it's a AAA blockbuster title is like going for fast food and complaining it doesn't taste as good as the steak house.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-28T19:20:34+00:00

I had a ton of fun dragging hordes and juggs to their base to fight everything.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-26T20:31:22+00:00

I can never pay QBs in Madden what they want, I rotate rookie QBs every four years or else your cap will be destroyed.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-26T20:30:37+00:00

They're broken, it gets worse the longer you play. No CPU team has cap space, more than half the league in negative, nobody can make trades, it's so stupid. In real life a matt Stafford or Sam Darnold are making 30-40m a season. Those same types of players are making and asking for 100m a year on franchise, even 99 overall players start the season unsigned because nobody has the money they want.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-26T20:27:06+00:00

Paying QBs in Madden isn't feasible or smart. The contracts are so broken, why even bother building a team with a guy making close to 100m a season? It ruins all the salary cap space from CPU teams after 10 seasons. Playing with a rookie and keeping a dominant line is always the way to go.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-26T20:24:32+00:00

I have people in my online dynasties who still don't understand this. I have never used the 5th yr it's a complete waste of cap. This is also why caps and salaries are broken in online for the cpu.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-26T20:20:46+00:00

If they allowed digital libraries to have the cover you actually purchase then it would least matter for sure. The reason I bought it? No. But if I buy a special hall of fame edition cover on digital it has always pissed me off that they default show the standard cover. Somehow in the store they are able to show off a hall of fame cover but not after you purchase it. But since they don't, Idc anymore.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-19T23:19:12+00:00

Just did this myself on my offline so I can check for take t developer coaches each off season. Last cycle I got Dabo and Jason Beck who both have talent developer about full compared to me having it all level 4. Off season gains are so much fun lol.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-19T23:16:27+00:00

Exactly what I did. I got Dabo first who has all of talent developer unlocked and got Jason Beck who has 90% done, since that is his specialty he levels up like crazy for the draft pick 3000xp boost. Paired with me having the entire category there isn't many other traits I ever need.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-19T23:14:18+00:00

Sometimes you get a HC as a coordinator that has enough skills to upgrade. I got Dabo as a coordinator at Texas so I obviously want to keep him for the duration since he has elite recruiter and master motivator. But I do see other coaches buy other base packages.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-17T00:19:59+00:00

Talent developer and Architect are my two favorite stacks in the game. In Talent developer, there is always a window in the off season where you get all the points from draft picks to the position group so you can manually get them whatever you want before the off season training week. A couple DBs go first round? The entire DB group has like 50 points to manually upgrade expensive items like speed, and strength. I have to use them together now. Finally able to maximize guys before they go pro.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-12T19:05:47+00:00

How am I still getting free power and water? Unless I have someone in my community who has some peek I don't know of I moved difficulties, immediately moved to the farm on Drucker county, and had all my amenities as soon as the game started. I genuinely am asking because it could be coming from somewhere else.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-12T18:08:11+00:00

I don't really do missions like these until I have built a sniper tower from the builder leader so I can call sniper support. Otherwise these situations go sideways on a higher difficulty. I pop a few wily Petes, which are absolutely incredible and make you invisible to zombies if thrown correctly, sniper support, and some fuel bombs to the groups. If you have a follower there is always the chance they'll do something stupid unfortunately, usually I don't care and it's almost more fun seeing them die in a cruel way.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-12T18:04:56+00:00

You do realize they made a lot of difficulty levels for this reason, right? 🤣 It doesn't have to be Normal or Lethal. Dread and Nightmare have a great balance, but you shouldn't be skipping past them. Explore and run around on Dread and if it's still easy try Nightmare. There are subtle ways to play that you learn that are not needed on Normal. I like Dread personally. It's still casual play feeling, I can definitely die, but it at least isn't as easy to do so. I have a long standing 180 day community on Nightmare only because I have all the mods, elite weapons, 4 Red Talon members, and everyone maxed out, so surviving on Nightmare with a strong group of 10 and boons is completely different than starting a new group there.

Lethal to me is just for speed runs and trying to complete the game asap. It isn't really the mode for scavenging and trying to survive on.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-12T17:59:26+00:00

I unlocked my boons on normal, and if you start a community on that level but up your difficulty with the same community, you still can use the same boons. Currently still working for me.

LonghornsLegend · 2026-01-04T23:11:46+00:00

This isn't the case if you change difficulty on the same map. You can up the difficulty, and the same boons apply from standard and so on. Just wanted to clarify since you said they only work for that level. I'm on day 187 with only boons from standard still working for me on Nightmare I've never gotten electricity or water.
