RE: Genesis League Goals - Beta review
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Actually, you are wrong about the MLS. They made some deal with the MLS Player Association. I checked that months ago MLS has some NFT deal with Panini only (or the other big paper sport card supplier?)... MLS P.A. is basically an union. I suppose, you know the unions... :) (Still can be great for advertising it.)
Brandon Vazquez already post a short video, few weeks ago:

The 11 players game mode option's gone. (They put approx. 50% of MLS players in the game. They just said, all players are too much, however perhaps not all players joined to this MLSPA workers union, as some very big names are missing, like Insigne.) I agree, it is wrong.
It was mentioned immediately, when they showed the first pictures about the game (month+ ago), they should start to change things very fast, as it is going generally to a wrong way, more likely going nowhere.
I don't really see any other way, like turn it into another kinda football game, as at the moment, it is kinda nothing. Not football manager, nor playable football game, nor arcade, and not a healthy combination of these. I wrote to you my only ideas, try to change the design to foosball, button football, beach football, or indoor football, what partly explain the 7 players, and the gameplay, the plenty goals, wild results.
I follow it since few months, probably you don't do it closely, however I really disappointed about the non-transparency, delays, and of course, the result. (Really annoying they can't answer straight-forward for important questions, like the coach things, what about we know basically nothing.) Also, there is no basic gameplay, but they are already focusing, posting about the sellable other gizmos. Skills, slots, drinks i dont even know what else... (shows me, they don't work as a team, i suppose the work not divided equally, or some of them are way behind the timeline with his/her part of the job)
And if you were upset about how it looks. Another addition, what will drive you nuts. There will be only ranked games. So even the WP writes, there are tourney, league, cup rewards, in TH they said, those are additional things in the future, perhaps in next year.... :) :) Have you ever seen any kind of football game without competitions? Without some league system (with prizes, relegation, promotion etc.) and at least 1-2 cups? (That's really easy to do, and it's a must from the beginning... I got really upset when Aggro said it. I was thinking about it for a while, but still no reasonable explanation came up, only 2 little things... 1., americans, always think differently, 2. they have no clue about football)
Obviously the team won't be able to do much with the design (I really don't get it what caused so long delays, after seeing the result.), max change it, polish a bit, so probably the above mentioned alternative football formats could save something, wouldn't turn away almost every football fan newcomers from the game, after the first look.
And I don't want to mention the tiny fact, that the MLS regular season ends in October, the Play off in November (early dec?) and good if a full version, p2e game will come out in the q4... but i guess new season cards will be out in January... that's another nice move towards the early investors, Hivers, who got involved in it... and of course, they don't get back anything compensating delays, basically max 1-3 months play with this season cards, meantime, other game's asset holders (SPS), who did not even spend a single cent on GLG, still receive airdrops for nothing... that's very wrong, too!
and if i still want to top that, they just post a proposal for buying back packs from 2nd market, as the prices are at the bottom, nobody buys packs from official site, as everybody lost confidence because of constant delays and seeing the result, early investors (and speculators) are throwing away packs for 1-1.5$ after the insane GLX airdrops. And what is the solution? Buying those back from the GLUSD, what they could collect... instead of admit their faults and try to correct it as fast as they can.
Its still related to the MLS. It wont matter for regular people if its union or whatever as long as the players promote it.
As long as there is a clear design decision im fine with it. As long as it is something. This here doesnt look like anything really.
I had a lot of understanding until the point I actually saw it. I dont know, but it feels like the developers working on this are extremely poor. Maybe im wrong, maybe its the lack of funds but the fact they released this as if everything is fine with it, ready for beta testing shows that there is something very wrong there.
Ill give the game a shot once it comes out. The game looks terrible but there might be some redeeming features. If splinterlands does well, maybe they get some decent devs on GLG and maybe they manage to find 1 person that has watched at least a single football game in their life to help design this.
The crypto space is dumb, and often doesnt make sense. So who knows... stranger gambles paid off.
I think, that was some kind of wake up call for them, when in the last TH, they mentioned in the end (with laughing), it will maybe come out in August or Sept. How I saw the reactions (I thought the same), majority was not simply disappointed, but bloody upset about what the hell they are doing with these constant delays, especially after seeing the pictures from the gameplay. Half year delay within 9-10 months, that's some result... so I suppose, that's made them release it + nobody bought packs from them since months. + they have to do it because of packs, cards tied to MLS seasons, and its almost August, 5 months left from the year... ( same like plenty others, i don't understand what they were doing in the last half year)
The most annoying, the pol correct answers from them. Speaking, but saying nothing, or if you ask certain things very specifically, so they couldn't resist, turn away from the question, they simply don't answer at all. Throwing misleading answers in discord chat... (Friday they said, coach abilities will be released early this week. Yesterday, it turned out no way, they did a very small work with the balancing, as the lot of wild results are not simply few bugs... all coaches vs each other 400 combinations, and they couldn't yet balance it... but at least they could admit... not even that.)
Let's hope so! 😀
