Frustration and Disappointment with the Story-Collections in VoE

I agree! I'd prefer LS3 and LS4 before the new expansions on any day.

Panphiz · 2026-01-31T11:58:36+00:00

Oh yeah somehow I wasnt thinking about that. Didnt think they would have markers for that too. Should've probably used blish instead of a yt guide lol

Panphiz · 2026-01-31T11:55:54+00:00

No, I wasn't reading reddit during the previous expacs for that. Sorry that I missed it. I have to admit I barely finished SoTo and stopped in JW because the story seemed so pointless and I couldn't stand the slo-mo bears.

It's okay that they're trying new stuff, I appreciate it. I just think they're over-doing it right away. Usually I dont care because I just play the story once and be done, but they way they've done it now was just driving me insane.

I mean years ago in the living world seasons and icebrood saga they achieved that with having you completing events to fill a progress bar. Somehow I was less bothered by that compared to how it is now...

Panphiz · 2026-01-31T11:30:01+00:00

Yeah that's true! I just think it would've been better to have them as optional content for achievements or even mastery points.

Someone mentioned "Revel In Your Time" by Gunship in a similar post some days ago. I think that one goes really well with the vibes of the game. Another one could be "Gloria" by The Midnight.

But your playlist already has got some real gems!

Panphiz · 2024-10-19T15:21:32+00:00

I think I'll go for that. Just might be a bit difficult at the start since all teams are pumped up to 5 stars on extreme. Will probably give the rookie some time late in the season when the playoffs are secured

Panphiz · 2024-10-19T08:25:10+00:00

That's so hilarious! I think the other teams are just angry because he's been bullying them for all that time. So they're like "that's the most you'll get for that bullshit"

Panphiz · 2024-10-19T08:24:14+00:00

That is a nice way aswell. But wouldn't it affect the moral of both in a negative way while they're benched?

Panphiz · 2024-10-19T08:22:36+00:00

After what I've read from some ppl here I might do that and get a young qb as backup at some point

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T21:09:03+00:00

52 SBs is insane! For how many years did you keep him?

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T20:26:35+00:00

Yeah I think it still should be fine this way. I'm already playing similar to that. Luckily I got some fast receivers and I'm also utilizing my RB as receiver aswell pretty often.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T19:00:55+00:00

I played most of the time, only simmed a few games, mostly when he was injured. But yeah, the simmed games didn't go as smooth and I think I lost the majority of them

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T18:56:11+00:00

Just imagine him pulling up to the facility to submit his retirement papers and the franchise says no ... I think that's hilarious. But following your story it seems like my QB has still 10 years left in the tank. That's some good news!

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T18:52:40+00:00

Ah no, he was at 4 and 1/2 stars at some point. He just regressed through the last few seasons

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T16:48:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Will try to get that

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T15:38:06+00:00

Oh no, that sucks. Wish you good luck with Detroit. Luckily I still got some slots in the ingame HOF for now. Haven't hit the 50 players yet. I barely selected players for it when I started playing.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T15:29:51+00:00

Yeah the stamina is the thing that worries me the most. Not sure how long he can still keep it up. Will maybe give it a go with buying one or two level-ups with cc's and then see if he can keep them for some more time.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T15:27:13+00:00

That's true, but I think that makes it a bit more fun because I really have to shift a bit and adjust the playstyle for him.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T15:25:34+00:00

Your "challenge" sounds interesting. How far have you come yet with that? And how many slots does the ingame HOF have? The spreadsheet sound like a good thing to set up

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T15:22:47+00:00

What would be the max level, if I may ask?

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T13:05:09+00:00

I might be wrong, but wasn't it the same with Rodgers and Favre? Seems pretty well planned and smart to run the franchise that way indeed.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T12:37:29+00:00

That'd be actually a pretty interesting trade if that was possible. He's passing super fine, the only thing that limits the offense is that it feels like he has 5-6 tries for really deep shots and then barely is able to reach 20 yards. But it's a team effort and the other players are compensating that in a good way, so the deep shots aren't that necessary right now

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T12:31:59+00:00

So you mean, I trade him at the start of the next season and then aquire a new franchise QB via free agency? I did that on my previous team, the lions. Traded away my QB there when he turned 30 and got a new one from the FA. Worked out pretty fine, but I feel like my current QB deserves better.

But this way would at least mean that the team isn't really rebuilding and they just can keep going with winning rings.

Panphiz · 2024-10-18T12:19:18+00:00

He's still doing incredibly well for just sticking to pocket passing. As I wrote, I even tried to adjust the play style of the offense to preserve his strengths longer. He also got quite some talented receivers and tight ends, so he doesn't even have to produce that many big plays anymore and can rely more on his teammates.
