FOF: General FOBowl question

[Hurst2112]

This has probably been discussed already. I just need some quick clarification.

If a guy is inactive during a team's bowl win, does he not get credit for a ring?

I started another Steeler career and won the SB the first year (hehe). Faneca played 16 games but his name wasn't in the box score anywhere (run blocks). He is now on the 9ers in 2012 and they beat the Steelers in the FOB. His card shows that he only has 1 ring. Checked the box score and he was in on 22 run plays or whatever.

So, was he injured for the first bowl? I susspect he was but I thought everybody who played 1 game in the regular season got a ring.

dola:

checked the boxscore for the first year's playoff games. He was in the divisional game, and then was absent for the championship game and FOB.

Only get a ring if you're on the active roster for the Championship.

I think that there are two questions here:

How does the NFL do it?

and

How does FOF do it?

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to either.

[Hurst2112]

thanks.

Not sure how the NFL does things, but I'm sure it's not so black and white. In FOF's case I'm sure it was just a design decision.

So if at the beginning of the season, you are the star Qb and lead the team to 10-0 start with a billion passing yards and 79 million TD's, but get put on the IR (not active) in week 11, and your team makes the super bowl and wins, you don't get a ring?

From what I recall, that is correct. Maybe someone who plays single-player more could verify.

[Maple Leafs]

Yes, that's correct. No play, no ring.

From what I recall, that is correct. Maybe someone who plays single-player more could verify.That is correct, as far as I can tell. I've never, ever, seen a player, no matter how valuable he was in games 1-18, get a ring if he was inactive for the Front Office Bowl. If I recall correctly, Jim verified this, too.

[Ben E Lou]

Yup. He did verify it. http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showpost.php?p=657219&postcount=33

As for championship rings, you have to take the field during the championship game to earn one in FOF. Just a design decision.

[gottimd]

That is pure ape poopy.Although not that it really matters. What does ring calculations do? Give the player points for Hall of Fame? However, just to be accurate, everyone should get a ring.

/agree, but read the end of his post.

"Just a Design Decision", I read that, I understand, but I still think its ape poopy, and thats just a users decision.

If you have some legendary player who's hurt, you can always activate him and bench that sixth CB who never plays anyways.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Yup. He did verify it. http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showpost.php?p=657219&postcount=33
Ugh. I've posted some shit, but that's the moment that I felt most embarrassed about here at FOFC. :(

[Vinatieri for Prez]

To clarify, I'm pretty certain that the NFL has no rule on who gets rings. It's purely a team decision. A team could give them to secretaries, practice squad players, trainers, etc. (and they do). I would guess in the NFL, everybody on the 53-man team or saw decent playing time during the season would get one. Unlike the NHL, where they inscribe player names on the Stanley Cup, there is no hard and fast rule. In the NHL, I think you have to play one playoff game or 8 games during the regular season (or something like that) to get your name on the cup.
