 Re: Breeding diary
I really have to say I hope that the changes you are all pushing for don't come in, the suggestion that because these are second generation horses and more generations should produce consistently better and better horses is completely unrealistic and will ruin the breeding side of the game for many players, the suggestion that you need to improve horses and computer horses is also completely unrealistic and will not only ruin the breeding side but ruim the competitive side of the game and make it essentially exactly like so6.

After reading this I think u a troll  u are either trolling or u don't have a clue, no one is asking for anything to change we just trying to improve our horses. Why would u have a breeding barn not to do it, u play the game u want to play and let everyone else play the game they want.

I have no idea where you are coming from here this is a breeding diary (me thinking out loud) something that may help others along the way of course we want to improve our horses whats the point of breeding otherwise you dont play the league so you don't understand anything about it certainly have no empathy for league players I'd suggest you stick to playing the game how you want to play your game and allow others the same courtesy what you do in your game is your business and has no effect on me and vice versa all i have seen in this thread is a couple of really experienced players discussing things who has ever demanded that anything should be changed. You seem to be a person who wants everything your own way thats how you have always come across to me anyway hey thats your prerogative

 Re: Breeding diary
I dont think horses should automatically improve generation by generation. I do think the game needs slightly tweaking as the offspring level at the moment is too low.
How many Frankels come along in a lifetime? I think when you find one in your game it will mean a lot more than it ever did when you could easily breed unbeatable horses. (in the game not the league)

(in the game not the league) Do u know how long it took to beat Frankel on the other game , a stupid amount of time . If people want to play that long then its up to them . U will never ever ever find a Frankel in game , u have to bred to get anywhere near him . And horses only improve if u put in time and effort , they just don't get better by breeding anything to anything .

 Re: Breeding diary
As league players you obviously don't have much care for people that just play the game in a realistic way, and the way that you would like the breeding to be is something that would affect realistic players in a negative way, and you are pushing for changes/tweaks, whether in this thread or others, if the breeding can be as realistic as possible this suits everyone, it doesn't have any negative impact on breeding for the league.

 Re: Breeding diary
I’m not a league player and everything these guys are saying I’m fully in agreement with.

 Re: Breeding diary
Im finding stamnina bars growning very fast. Also had a horse win a a few 10f and 12 f group 1's and the gold cup. Is this normal. Am finding massive distance ranges 10f to 20f. I'm also maxing out ability quite easily now that have the right sires

Pretty much everything is just a matter of perspective, the answer I suspect is somewhere in the middle.

 Re: Breeding diary
I'm digging it. Right now in my game the stallion whose fee is 1.2 million has had 6 generations of foals and they're all poop. Every single one. It's funny to me and very accurate. I do wish I could look at mares by their top foals and maybe you can and I just can't tell? I like the randomness myself. It's more real.

 Re: Breeding diary
I cant say I've noticed a difference , my jumps is on the latest patch and my flat game is on 78 and I cant say I've noticed any difference with the two games but u never know.  Will keep a eye out and patch up my flat game.

 Re: Breeding diary
Same tedious click click click, buy crap, sell the same crap, breed crap and run crap races here. I went back to SO6 today to breed some flat horses for the league, with no immediate interest to return to 7.
