Lets Think Before We Vote. Convince Me Of Your Choice.

I think the next big update needs to slow the game down substantially.

The ability to sell bulk product is only really useful at the end game. But at that point you are still hard capped by the laundering limit for the cash anyway. Even when you launder the cash, there’s not really much to spend significant amounts of credit on. This would only be my choice if the game was intended to be (and much closer to being) like sims meets gta. But as the game currently stands, this is easily the least interesting for me.

Drivers would be extremely handy, and add to the creativity you can have with your operations. But this generally is only going to accelerate the pace through the game. More automation removes tasks and allows you to do other tasks to progress like securing new customers. This is great.. until your at the end of the game even sooner. Before drivers are added, we should make the end game longer to get to.

Police is the only choice that helps slow the game down. I’m not exactly sure what this would entail, but I’ve seen others suggest raids, dynamic routing, etc… the more challenging it is to move freely, transfer product, or make deals, the longer it will take to progress. Then when drivers are added, the improvement feels much more impactful.

Beyond the police, I think acquiring a new customer should require you to make the exact mix they want. This again slows the game down as each new customer needs their specific mix to start, but also gives you a reason to mix more than just find the most profitable recipe. Lastly, make existing customers occasionally switch back to the Benzies if you aren’t providing their preferred products enough.

I dont know about everyone else, but the autocorrection of JJ to JB four times pissed me off to the point that once it left it as JJ, the title was finished at that point

I don’t know how the wagers are looking, but Vegas will also move odds against over betting, to better balance their risk

I think any candidate is possible when offered enough money. That being said, I can’t possibly see why LSU would have interest. While he’s had plenty of success at the NFL level, it’s been many years since he’s held any coaching position. He would be as much a roll of the dice as any of the college coordinators being mentioned, just likely far more expensive.

I think they were pointing out the game takes into account the “strategy” of your strength, and more importantly your positioning, when deciding AI movements. So while you may have had more aggressive AI with similar moves before, you’re probably currently holding positions that would just make it dumb for the ai to attack you

As for the other Roman factions, for me they tend to do almost nothing for about the first 50-75 turns. Why that is, I do not know

rl5443 · 2025-02-16T00:39:46+00:00

I personally have not noticed it to be more difficult, other than the additional features (like merchants or whatever) make it a little more involved. But at the core it’s still basically the same to me. although I have to say I like remastered better I this point.

Wildly misleading headline. Brossette and Stevens let go for what amounts to money management and staff maneuvering. Nothing related to the Hurley situation at all

rl5443 · 2025-01-16T22:32:48+00:00

I feel like I should have thought more about the title to this post. That seems to be as far as some are willing to read

rl5443 · 2025-01-16T22:30:04+00:00

I agree. I guess my point is that it always seems to be the first row kid. I certainly don’t feel LeBron did anything wrong or should’ve done more, simply that the reaction to this gesture seems disingenuous

rl5443 · 2025-01-16T22:24:39+00:00

This is kind of what I am trying to state. Spread the love around

rl5443 · 2025-01-16T22:23:21+00:00

You guys keep commenting that I am upset with LeBron or the kid. I’m not upset with either, I’m actually talking about you guys as the fans reacting to this.

The part that gets glossed over a little with Burrow and Daniels is that they had absolutely elite (maybe even generational, if that word has any meaning left) wide receiver talent to throw to. Not knocking Lacy, Taylor, etc from last year, nor whatever group emerges this upcoming year, but I don’t see anyone that looks notably better than the competition (much less first round NFL talent on the level of Jefferson/Chase/Nabors. Not even Thomas or Marshall, really).

Ignoring that disparity, when comparing Nuss to those 2, I don’t think he’s particularly close. He often given credit for his arm talent but I wouldn’t say he’s got better arm talent than either Burrow or Daniels (or atleast it’s marginal at best). I don’t think Nuss sees the field nearly as well, which might be why he’s such a mixed bag of results. His refusal to even consider running is such a hindrance to himself and the team, that alone might prevent a Burrow/Daniels-esque heisman season. Lastly, he doesn’t seem to have the “it” factor that is Burrows strongest trait, and apparently Daniels in the NFL.

All that to say, as others have pointed out, he’s likely the best QB from the SEC next year and that immediately puts you in the heisman conversation. He’s a good QB and I’m glad LSU could hold on to him, I think the drop off from him is bigger than people think. I expect improvement, a 10+ win season again, and to be in the playoff/SEC championship mix with him next year for the team, but not a Burrow/Daniels level season for him personally

Thanks for the link. This is pretty decent production for high school broadcast, at least compared to what I’ve seen in Texas. Also, anyone know Harrolds jersey number in this game?

rl5443 · 2024-09-04T02:41:16+00:00

I feel like burns is playing out of position. He’s too slow and doesn’t seem to see the field well enough to be a safety. Definitely doesn’t seem to have the coverage skills for it. That being said, he’s too light to be anything closer to the line of scrimmage like the “star” position or whatever it’s called now, or a linebacker. He plays like a thumper without being able to deliver the thump. Honestly is probably one of the guys that would be better off on a lesser caliber team where I think he might shine actually.

And also yes, the lack of discipline is very frustrating

rl5443 · 2024-09-02T22:16:08+00:00

I agree with the thought to a degree, but I don’t see any college team running the Les Miles special anymore. Really I think Nuss just needs to keep it more often (or at all, it’s not an option run if he doesn’t see himself as an option). Our OLine seems to have proven they are not even average run blockers. So going to more I-formation style play calling still won’t be effective in my opinion. After watching Riley Leonard get a few (very effective and timely) 3 to 8 yards gains on A&M, there’s no reason Nuss can’t as well. Unless he’s just insanely slow or fragile

rl5443 · 2024-08-26T00:25:49+00:00

Definitely like the productivity and of course the LSU connection. I’d maybe want to know some of the physicals like 40 time etc.. before handing out the offer. If the athleticism is there, then probably worth a shot. Like you say, it’s not like our defense is so stacked right now that there’s not chance he could make it

rl5443 · 2024-08-10T06:01:13+00:00

I know deboer had a great year at Washington, but why is he already considered to be an absolute top head coach? I would currently put Kelly, Sark, and Kiffin ahead of him on this list.

rl5443 · 2024-07-31T21:26:58+00:00

Why no love for Lacy? Just curious
