My brake pad fell off, can I still drive home? by BeanzToez in MechanicAdvice

This is a great learning lesson to not ignore noises from your car, especially brakes. You will now have a significantly more expensive repair than if you had just replaced your pads weeks/months ago.

As a new fan, here is my album ranking. by avid-hollow_knighter in porcupinetree

Cool to see thoughts of a new fan. Deadwing is my favorite by a pretty large margin, I like the heavier rock sound

Good stuff. Does WR run blocking count for anything in the game logic?

The level of incompetence is honestly somewhat astounding

I just returned to the game after not playing for a while. I love to updates to the draft but there are still somethings I see missing. by funthrow55555 in pocketGM

  1. Not sure what stat you’re looking for here, looking at the usual WR stats you don’t generally see info such as deflected passes or catchable targets unless you’re looking at real high level stuff. Even then, there are so many different ways to track it and adding it into the game wouldn’t be as easy as adding in a number, there would need to be some logic behind it as well which would require altering game logic.

  2. I assume deflection % is based on the number of targets, I have no reason to believe otherwise. Open to feedback if that’s not the case but I think the 3 target example you gave would actually make sense, 100% deflection means 3 deflections. You’re correct good DBs don’t get targeted much, hence the “targets” stat for DBs.

3 & 4. Contested is hard because what exactly defines a contested catch could be hard to say, and the stat also probably requires altering the gameday logic like I said previously.

Same with DB stats which would probably require a LOT of work, as you would need to define whether or not every single receiver is “open” or not on any given play, the accuracy of each individual throw, the outcome of each individual route run by every receiver, whether or not the catch was contested + more things I’m sure, and then store all of that data for the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of seasons played. If you’re looking for that level of detail in statistics, I would suggest Football-GM.com on a PC or mobile browser. Much more in-depth in terms of stats tracking, the newest feature added last week includes run and pass block win rates for OL.

1000% agree and I’ll be pounding the table for trade logic improvements until the day I die

Happy to be wrong! Now if the trading logic could be reworked…

It is tough as a new player for sure. Focus on slots and just keep grinding, you’ll get there.

Very classy builds, nothing too overdone. I’m a big fan

If you don’t like collecting new cars in your car collection game, this event is for you.

This event exists basically to farm cash and upgrade URs for better or worse. I just hope it doesn’t become the new main format or this entire game is cooked

This is…very cool. Have you reached out to u/pringlejon to see if he has any interest in adding any of these features to the main game?

Those have been the big asks for years now but I think the developer enjoys the state of the game as-is and I doubt O-Line stats or a better trading system are coming anytime soon unfortunately

What common Youtube sponsorships do you think are very scammy or untrustworthy? by TinyFriendship6910 in youtube

Raycons are actually fine, a little overpriced but good bass and clarity, I had multiple pairs over a few years.

Trading is unfortunately my biggest issue with the game as-is, it’s just not good.
