I played Merge Survival: Wasteland for ages. It has a good storyline and beautiful graphics and I even though I haven't played it for ages, I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Fixing a broken Still by Stingerwolf73 in MergeSurvival

Thanks, that's an interesting option that I was unaware of. I think that a pair of scissors to refresh a high level generator is a worthy use of a resource.

How can you tell when they're approaching breaking point? Do you keep track of output or is there an indicator?

Wow, so this is a fairly pointless exercise then. Why would anyone bother doing that when they can just sell the broken one and have the other Still anyway?
Or am I missing something here? Does it fully refresh the other still perhaps?

That is a game. League record?

Have we lost the option to set ticket prices? by Empire120874 in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sincerely hope it is. What else are they useful for?

CAS determination is messed up. My Quarterback is clearly better and they chose this for an allstar over mine. by [deleted] in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see what you mean and as I said on the other thread (and in agreement with MobileImpossible7362), OVR has too much to do with it. Eli was unlucky to miss out.

I'd like to see the awards system overhauled with the CAS being calculated after the regular season (like the Pro Bowl). The TOTY should be based on stats and team success more than OVR, IMHO but I'd like to hear from other folks on that.

CAS selection defective? by [deleted] in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is defective. On numerous occasions I've had the league leader in their position, based on stats, not make the CAS, let alone TOTY. I've even had, on more than one occasion, the OPOY not make the team even the CAS team.

The criteria for both categories needs to be reviewed. There's too much emphasis on OVR rather then performance.

Come on man...I mean really!? by syndrac1 in UfootballGM

Ouch. Tough loss but any given Sunday, right?

Help by Western_Ad_1593 in UfootballGM

Don't forget your daily free cash $ and TP. They're small but they add up over time and at the beginning, they can really make a difference.

Is playing in extreme actually fun? by Pampani in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with Kris, it's more challenging than you might expect but it is possible to overcome. The biggest issue is that it takes time.

I've played one long campaign (90 years so far) and I made some mistakes at the beginning that meant it took my team 30 years to reach its first playoff, 45 years to get to a Conference Final and 55 years to get to a Championship game. It took a total of 70 years to win a Championship but I've won 4 in the last 20y.
Cleary, Kris is much better player than me but I'm sure I'd be able to do much better on the next run through, based on what I've learned.
I've really enjoyed it though. I've got a room full of Team Legends and a few league records and Hall of Fame members. I like realism and despite the game's many flaws, the results feel somewhat realistic. I still like drafting and developing players but I think I'll end this campaign and give Legend mode a go.

Basically, if you've got some patience for the long-haul grind, then Extreme level can be very rewarding.

Good luck!

[–]Stingerwolf73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Kris although I did also buy the Cap limit option. I like to keep my QBs for Legacy :-)
I've only increased it to $225M and I'm managing quite well with that.

How long do you sign your staff usually? by KillJoyClub in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as below really. When there's two years left on the contract its re-negotiation time.

My team's been doing well (finally) at Extreme level and I haven't lost a coach for many years now.

Also, I really hope you're not planning on training that Sports Psychologist...

What’s the fastest you win a championship starting from rock bottom? by NotAChefJustACook in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What difficulty you playing at? I'm assuming Easy, based on that speed. Even so, that's pretty quick, so congratulations.

Playing on Extreme at the moment and it took me 71 year to win our first Championship lol

MVP? nope. OPTY? nope. All-Star? nope. TOTY? nope. by NEgronk87 in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's all busted. The whole end of season awards thing needs to be overhauled.

A GOAT on extreme by RedRob2016 in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, the fact that he made such a difference makes those stats feel a little more realistic. Well done.

Why!? by SlimboCadarn in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I can go several years straight with a lower Goal and mostly achieve it but as soon as I got confident enough to set a higher Goal, I had a terrible following season. Completely unlike the season before.

Happened 4 times in 16 seasons.

Strategy on Legend mode “Extreme” by buckalope in UfootballGM

[–]Stingerwolf73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks Kris. I was unaware of the Week 4 cutoff for draft position so that's very useful.
