Goal Line Blitz MMORPG

[21C]

Looks interesting. It is a football MMORPG and it seems that you can play as either an owner or a player. I've just signed up and the first thing you do is create a player.

larrymcg421 is a team owner of the Grand Junction Silverbacks in the USA AA Western Conference. If you sign up with the link below then he will get extra points for referals.

[21C]

I just found out that I can earn points in the game by refering people to join.

Edited link above for new signups.

[21C]

OK. I've created myself as a CB, allocated my skill points and it seems like a lot of the other settings were already randomly created.

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing but I received some contract offers from CPU teams. I accepted one from the Buenos Aires Marlins in the South America AAA (Zeta Conference). I think you can sign for a human-controlled but I didn't want to wait.

[Yellow5]

Signed up as an RB, named Johnny Thunder. Playing for the Minsk Legion in the Eastern Europe Pro League, Alpha Conference.

[sabotai]

Signed up as LB Sabotai Bagatur. I'm on the Peterborough Miners in the Canadian AAA league.

[Crim]

Crim Bronco, LB. Make me an offer I like, and I'll be your Lewis, your Urlacher, yer freakin Butkus fer the next several years. I'll fill yer damn stadium, I'll get ya a few trophies, and I'll bang yer daughter. You won't care bout that last bit, though, cuz I'll be improving your gene pool in the process. Call me, bitches. My agent is waiting.

[Crim]

Uh, unless, of course, none of y'all bastiches is signing up to be an owner. I'll wait a day or so, if none of you are owners (and have invited me), I'll sign with an NPC team as well.

[JetsIn06]

Ryan Omark, LB. I'm on some computer team, but it would be sweet if we could get an FOFC team running.

[hawk4669]

Hawk McGawk playing TE.

Cheers!

[Cork]

I am in as Jake Weston, CB for the Dusseldorf Wolves of the Western Europe AAA league, Zeta conference.

-Cork

[Eaglesfan27]

Randall McManus, FA QB for now. I'll sign with a CPU team in a day or so if I don't get another offer.

[Izulde]

QB Tim Moungey playing for the Geelong Wildcats in the Oceania Pro League, Alpha Conference.

It's the team where I have the best shot at becoming the starter the soonest.

[FBPro]

QB-Biff Chuckington looking for a team.

[QuikSand]

DE Michael Szur, Medicine Hat Bucks, Canadian AAA.

In case you missed it...

Admin Announcement

For players who are on CPU teams and want to get to a human team: Human managers can now make contract offers directly to you instead of having to trade for you. You will get a message in your inbox if you get an offer.

Thanks for your understanding with this beta game. We are working hard to improve the game every day.

Seems like no harm in signing up with a CPU team for now, getting some experience, and then hopefully getting a team together at some point.

[rjolley]

Sam Jolley, LB, Utrecht Extreme

(http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=305)

[Apathetic Lurker]

Signed up as an RB, named Johnny Thunder. Playing for the Minsk Legion in the Eastern Europe Pro League, Alpha Conference.

make sure to follow my road grader Mr. Trout, Minsk's new center

[Izulde]

Tied game! But Mays just fouled out. :(

[21C]

I think human owners need 1000 points to get a team. All we need is someone to get a team and then sign all of us.

[kurtism]

SS DJ McGilvery created. Playing for Saipan Fighters, Oceanic AAA, Zeta Div.

[Alan T]

Alan T, massive run stopping NT

[MrDNA]

Trying it out - Tabasco Ted Hopper, SS for the Sacramento Flames (USA A). Get a team together and I'm manning the D for ya!

[jaygr]

RB Joey Flabbus, Bogor Gulls, Southeast Asia AAA

[SirFozzie]

WR Alex Donovan, Auckland Panthers

[JetsIn06]

Okay, I think the best thing to do is have whoever wants to own the team put their referral link here. That will give them 850 points, which is pretty close to the 1000 needed to buy a team.

[JHandley]

Roger Duhnam

6'3" and 198lbs of blazing speed at wideout. Currently contracted with the Sherbrook Cheetahs of the Canadian Pro league. We're 1-4, but I am starting and we have two human controlled QB's. So I like my chances of improving.

[Radii]

looks like the only way to gain points is to either get refferals or buy them. So hopefully we all used 21C's referral and he'll have a ton of points :D

I am Idjit Kicker, K, La Plata Whales
South America AAA (Alpha Conference)

[Shkspr]

Pork Chop Steinberg was signed today by the Papeete Legion, a 6'6" possession receiver. He'd be a tight end if he could get above 180 lbs. soaking wet. Few training tables are kosher, however.

Eating is not a problem for new San Cristobal Puma Slats McCoy, a 323 lb. offensive guard who is playing football for revenge. "My father was killed by a nose tackle," said the 6'3" McCoy, "and I won't take a play off until I find the guy." Early reports that all teams in GLB will play the 4-3 have not dissuaded the vengeful son. "Sooner or later, the bastard that murdered my father will find himself on a team that uses the 3-4 once the formation is unveiled later in the beta test, and he won't be able to resist lining up over the ball. They always return to the scene of the crime, you know."

[Bad-example]

Funyun Johnson, OT

[dbd1963]

Tank Basterson, QB Odessa Fire. Scheduled to start!

This looks like it will be fun..

[TazFTW]

FS DeMarcus Lott is playing for the Red Deer Pirates in Canadian AA Western Conference.

[larrymcg421]

Okay, I just bought a team. The Colorado Spring Snakes in the USA AA Western Conference. We're allowed a one time name change.

Any ideas for a city and mascot?

[MikeVic]

FS Semi Truck (ironic name as he's a cover guy), a 5'11" 185 lbs. player of football has signed a 1-year contract with the La Paz Gangsters of the AAA South American league.

[dbd1963]

Ok, I've equipped my "+4 Jockstrap of Fortitude." I'm ready to roll.

[MikeVic]

Our starting TE is LeBron James. :D http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=27463

[21C]

I don't know how many points you earn for referals. It says that up to 850 points can be earned in a season which makes it sound like you might get something like 50 per person. It also says "the users you refer must create a player and play for a couple of days before you will receive the points." As it is, there are 5 people who used the referal link.

The only other way that I can see to get the points is to buy them. 1000 points can bought for $8.50 and gets you 2 seasons - about 80 real days.

I just found the points earned for referals in the FAQ:
How many Flex Points can I get through referrals?
You can earn up to 850 per season. The referral breakdown is as follows:

50 points per referral for the first 10 referrals.
25 points per referralfor the second 10 referrals
10 points per referralfor the final 10 referrals.

Referrals in excess of 30 will not earn you more points.

[MikeVic]

So we're never gonna get skill points, and we can only play for one season?

[larrymcg421]

Yeah I went ahead and just did the $8.50 option for 2 seasons. If I thought about it sooner, I wouldn't have created a player and could have got 3 seasons, but I'm assuming I can earn enough by then.

[21C]

Okay, I just bought a team. The Colorado Spring Snakes in the USA AA Western Conference. We're allowed a one time name change.

Any ideas for a city and mascot?
Does that mean you want to start signing/trading for all of us?

[larrymcg421]

I don't think we're limited by cities, so how about something like "FOFC Simmers"

[larrymcg421]

Does that mean you want to start signing/trading for all of us?

Yeah, as soon as I decide on the team name.

[dbd1963]

How about you put the team in Jim's (the owner of Solecismic) hometown? Though I can't remember what that is..

[Izulde]

So we're never gonna get skill points, and we can only play for one season?

No, you get skill points through leveling up.

And you play for as many seasons as you want, I imagine.

Owner thing is different from player thing.

[21C]

Yeah, as soon as I decide on the team name.
No problem. I'm guessing you want us to PM you in the game instead of searching for each one of us.

[larrymcg421]

Either way. Shouldn't be hard to find you guys.

[21C]

I would suggest that Larry post his referal link here so that any new players that sign up give him the extra points. That might buy some extra seasons as team owner. If you like, I can also edit the first post to include it.

[FBPro]

Biff Chuckington signs with Quito Lions and is penciled is as the starting QB.

[larrymcg421]

Since it fits the region and I really like the name, I'll go with my WOOF team name.

Grand Junction Silverbacks.

I'll start offering contracts. We are currently 3-2 (best record in the highest USA Div. that had an available team).

[Crim]

LB Crim Bronco is on the Wroclaw Thrashers. Come and get me, larry!

[larrymcg421]

Here is my referral link:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=537895

[dbd1963]

I just read a post on the forum that advises paying your players enough so that they can train. Training costs go up with levels, so players should not sign long term contracts for little money.

It's a sticky in the "Players looking for teams" forum:

After seeing a lot of guys sign long term contracts for minimal pay. I'm not going to point out names, or where, but I have seen a player signed long term for a really bad salary. I know there is a thread like this in TD, but this is for people who haven't seen played a game like CD or GLB before, where contracts mean a lot of things.

Here's the way training costs work in GLB.
Intense: 200 * level = cost per day
Normal: 75 * level = cost per day
Relaxed: 10 * level = cost per day.

Training is not dependent on player position. Everyone pays using the same formula, whether they are a QB or OT.

So basically, if the player, who can survive up until about level 2 or 3 on their current contract hits level 6 or 7, uh oh! Watch out, they can't improve as well! Instead, no more intense training unless they want to lose money. Now toss in the fact that they are signed for a really long time. Some managers will re-negotiate. Some will not because they say you agreed to the contract. So make sure the contract you sign is really what you want.

Originally posted by Statmonkey of TD

1. Check the forums to see if the offer is competitive
2. How long is the contract for can you live with the terms
3. Research the team - do they need you? Will you get playing time?
4. Find the manager and the team thread. Are they active? Do they have the same ideas as you?
5. Talk with the manager. What are his plans for you? Is his personality compatible? someone you can talk to?
6. Talk to current members of the team. Are they happy? do they like playing there?
7. Put all this together and decide if you like it


I quoted Statmonkey with slight modification basically because it all comes down to these 7. You can also check the rosters of other teams in the same league to see what is the norm.

Jed PMed this to me last season when discussing the contracts for his team this season. Several other teams follow the same principle.
Take how many levels you think your guy will be at the end of the season. Most of the time players won't be training at intense because of cost and energy issues, so Normal will be used.
So if level 15, it will be 1125 per day (75 * 15) . This means players will still make money over the course of the season when they are at a lower level, which allows them to buy any of the new things Bort is planning to add in the future like cars, houses and whatnot.

[3ric]

I'm Chris Whizz, a CB... just signed up and am unemployed (hint, hint)

[larrymcg421]

Okay, I'm offering contracts right now. Not sure what the numbers should look like, but I'm basically offering everyone a bit of a raise with a bit of a signing bonus. I'm also cutting the expensive CPU players, especially the ones duplicated at positions FOFC'ers will be taking.

[21C]

Here is my referral link:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=537895
Updated the first post. Too bad I can't see a way of transfering the points I had from referals so far.

[Crim]

I'm so a Silverback. Sacramento United is fucked in 37 hours.

[21C]

CB Richard Southwell is signed on.

I see a potential dynasty thread in all of this.

[dbd1963]

Why not buy a team too, 21C? There's going to be a lot of folks playing this, I predict..

Sorry I didn't hit your referral. See, what had happened was.. I didn't think I was going to play until I went and read about it, then I forgot.. You know you're in my heart for finding the game, though, right?

[Radii]

we have too many QBs it looks like for one team! looks like you're sutck with me kicking for now though ;)

[Yellow5]

Just accepted my offer. I'm a power back so make sure we have someone speedy. I also have a kicker named Alexander Thunder if we need another kicker.

[larrymcg421]

Start improving your players as best you can. Looks like we'll have some interesting position battles.

If you don't want to worry about being a backup, then create someone at a position that hasn't been taken yet. I guarantee an FOFC'er gets a starting spot over any CPU player.

[Izulde]

Signed on and I intend to be Grand Junction's starting QB.

[JHandley]

I accepted the offer.

Based on what points we were able to allocate, I think my speed is fairly decent for a starting player, so I'm working on catching now.

[Izulde]

Tank Basterson, QB Odessa Fire. Scheduled to start!

This looks like it will be fun..

How did you get a lvl 4 QB already?

[dbd1963]

Checked my messages and I took the offer. Thanks larrymcg421! I don't mind whether I start or not. I'm a team player. Go Silverbacks!

[dbd1963]

How did you get a lvl 4 QB already?

I bribed the programmers.

EDIT: I'm only partly being a smart ass. You can buy points to spend on your player. It cost me about $12 for all the upgrades I got. You can only get so much each season though.

There's a QB named Pancake in one of my MP leagues. Brant Pancake. :)

Suit me up, coach!

[larrymcg421]

We'll be playing a 4-3, so you should be fine.

[larrymcg421]

Guys, make sure you set it so your abilities aren't hidden from me.

[dbd1963]

You can make them viewable to all players on the team too, which I did. It's cool to see other guys abilities.

[TazFTW]

FS DeMarcus Lott has signed the contract.

[duckman]

SS Kevin Heath

[MikeVic]

Yeah we might need another team. :)

[MikeVic]

You have to worry about salaries and all that right? So I don't think you would sign every FOFCer created. Say we have 4 QBs... I think you'd sign at most 3 of them?

[Ben E Lou]

I'd suggest letting Larry figure out if he can afford to sign most/all of the FOFCers first. It turns out that I had some cash sitting in my PayPal account, so I went ahead and bought some flex points with it. I have enough to buy a team if it's needed.

[Ben E Lou]

Dola: So as a result, CB Ben Lewis is now Level 4. :D

[DanGarion]

Kicker, Daniel Schoonover at your service. With all the upgrades a rookie can have.

[twothree]

T Maple Syrup created. (Level 4)

He was a guard, but I noticed you already had two human guards signed. So, I retired him, and created a right side run blocking tackle instead.

Edit: I took a contract with the CPU team, New Hampshire Mustangs (USA, A, Eastern), since they have a game today in about an hour. And, I figure I can earn some experience points while waiting for a contract offer from the Grand Junction Silverbacks. The CPU team put me in as their starting LT.

[Emiliano]

I'm in as LB Emiliano Zapata.

:D

[digamma]

DE Sven Williams

[jaygr]

Just accepted my offer. I'm a power back so make sure we have someone speedy. I also have a kicker named Alexander Thunder if we need another kicker.


My back (Joey Flabbus) was built as a powerback as well. I noticed you have him at lvl 4 (so I assuming you bought some points) so I don't mind starting a new guy before we get too involved if we would not want two power guys, although I prefer to be one. I'd still rather do what is best for the team though.

What do you guys think?

[hawk4669]

Just signed my contract with Grand Junction and bought some new equipment. Hope to be a solid blocking TE first with a later emphasis on good hands. Who needs speed, etc. ;)

Cheers!

[larrymcg421]

I do have enough money to sign most everyone, but it's true that it doesn't make sense to sign 5 QB's.

We do have an excess of QB's, LB's, Kickers and WR's. It might be a good idea to start another team so some people aren't stuck as backups.

I'll list the initial starting lineup tonight.

[dbd1963]

The team we were going to play, Sacramento United, was bought and has become the Hawaii Five Os. They have already signed some better players too.

From what I understand, none of us are going to have the stamina to play a whole game. I've been trawling the forums all morning and I've learned that a lot of people will put most of their skill points into stamina because that will keep them in the games, allowing them to gain valuable experience. I've read that at level 4 you want to have a stamina at least in the 20 range. My guy has a 17 or so. There's no way he's going to play a whole game no matter what.

5 QBs would seem to be pushing it, though. None of the players would get the amount of experience you want.

[Bad-example]

Funyun Johnson accepted his contract offer (thanks!) I think I screwed up his build pretty badly though. I made a better one, OT Subway Sam Fitz. We can swap them out if you like.

Also available if needed...SS Dixon Payne.

Heh. See, I didn't really know the proper contract offers. I added a set amount to what was already there and a set signing bonus. I don't think it shows me the offers that you're getting elsewhere.

[larrymcg421]

I'll do some more searching and make sure I'm compensating you guys properly.

[dbd1963]

I think, so long as it's a one year contract, the contracts you are giving out are allowing us to do the training we need. Extra money is good but I'm not going to cry about that for the first season.

I can see the European Pro League offering more because of the level of competition, but man that Canadian AA offer is crazy though. If I were Skydog I might just take that one..

BTW, there is a team forum at the bottom of the list of forums on GLB's forum page. I don't know if that's crucial information, but few seem to have noticed it yet. You can see it after you've signed on to the team.

[JeeberD]

Signed up as TE Jeeber D Mack. Joined the St Petersburg Stars of Eastern Europe AAA.

I didn't see this thread before joining and accepting a contract and I think I got screwed...

[dbd1963]

If it's a human owned team, yes you did (unless a trade can be worked out). But if it's a CPU owned team, then larry can just sign you off the team no prob.

[MrDNA]

Silverbacks for life! (Or until my contract runs out). Now to go buy some stuff.

EDIT: I got all grey, for the Silverbacks, you know. :)

[dbd1963]

We've got less than 24 hours people! I'm hitting the film room..

[Yellow5]

I'm cool with moving my players to another team if needed. I'm happy playing for any of the fofc teams.

[MacroGuru]

Im waiting for the Silverbacks offer...if there is one...LOL

[larrymcg421]

Just sent it.

[MacroGuru]

Dola,

And it just came in!

[JeeberD]

If it's a human owned team, yes you did (unless a trade can be worked out). But if it's a CPU owned team, then larry can just sign you off the team no prob.

Sweet...if you need a TE, Larry, look me up!

[larrymcg421]

Everyone, please make your attributes viewable at least to me, if not the whole team. This needs to be done so I can figure out the depth chart.

[dbd1963]

Don't forget that you can buy equipment and these give you powerups in your stats (you pick which when you make the equipment). Except in the case of the custom item, you spend your salary, not Flex points. The custom item uses Flex points but it can give you a bonus of +6 in whatever you want it to.

[Alan T]

I'll do some more searching and make sure I'm compensating you guys properly.


I havent complained because I honestly don't know what fair compensation is either.. All I do know is right now I'm spending 2 times as much every day on training than what I am getting paid though.. so that won't be able to keep it up :)

I did this with the rest of my remaining flex points to add +6 stamina to me.. I am fairly strong and have some pretty decent skills for early on, but my stamina was horrible.

Yeah, training money comes out of pocket. For instance I'll go broke in 10 days, and will have to then back off my training. Hopefully my performance on the field by then will encourage my GM to renegotiate! :)

[Mustang]

Lvl 4 WR so, getting a little more in the way of an offer.

[larrymcg421]

Okay, so what I need to figure out is how the training costs work depending on level and position. That way everyone's training can be covered properly.

[dbd1963]

It also costs more to train the higher your level, so the 1st and 2nd level guys don't have to pay as much.

A point that I've read that seems applicable here is that, once the season is under way for us new guys, we can't train at the highest level anymore because we won't get back enough stamina points. So I'm judging my salary against the normal setting, and I'm fine there. With intense I'm spending about $74 over my daily, but today is the last day I expect to be able to use intense.

[dbd1963]

Okay, so what I need to figure out is how the training costs work depending on level and position. That way everyone's training can be covered properly.

Here's the quote from the forums:

The Training Focus you get in each skill all depends on the training intensity.

In GLB there are 3 types of intensities (Relaxed, Normal, Intense). Where your training intensity is set is the factor that decides how much training you will get at a skill.

If you train at a skill with a RELAXED intensity you will get minimal training at the skill trained.
If you train at a skill with an INTENSE intensity you will get maximum training at the skill trained.

For Example)
CB Felix Manusin is training in agility:
When training at RELAXED intensity = +0.36/day
When training at NORMAL intensity = +0.42/day
When training at INTENSE intensity = +0.46/day

Remember that the energy and the cost of training is effected on how high or low you set the training intensity.

$10 * (Your Player's level) = Cost of Training at RELAXED
$75 * (Your Player's level) = Cost of Training at NORMAL
$200 * (Your Player's level) = Cost of Training at INTENSE

[Alan T]

It also costs more to train the higher your level, so the 1st and 2nd level guys don't have to pay as much.

A point that I've read that seems applicable here is that, once the season is under way for us new guys, we can't train at the highest level anymore because we won't get back enough stamina points. So I'm judging my salary against the normal setting, and I'm fine there. With intense I'm spending about $74 over my daily, but today is the last day I expect to be able to use intense.

Thats what I was trying to figure out, but wasn't sure how much stamina would be hit. I have alot of +stamina stuff to hopefully be able to play hard and train intensely for a bit, but I guess its one of those things that I'll have to see how it plays out and adjust accordingly.

[larrymcg421]

If that post is true, even the level 4 players should only be $400/day for intense training. No one at level 4 was offered a contract lower than that (not sure it's even possible), so I'm confused as to how people are saying they're spending more for training than they have.

[dbd1963]

It's $800 a day for me at level 4, so there must be a missing multiplier somewhere.

EDIT: from looking at my costs, it looks like in that quoted bit they have $100 where they should have $200. It looks like the first two are right.

[larrymcg421]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's $200 * level for intense.

[Alan T]

It's $800 a day for me at level 4, so there must be a missing multiplier somewhere.

Same here, $800 a day

[MacroGuru]

I spent to get some extra flex points, I am now lvl 4...looks SS will be a hard position to work on.

[larrymcg421]

Okay, I'm out for now, but when I get back tonight, I'll start offering some renegotiations for everyone on the team so you're making enough to do intense training.

[dbd1963]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's $200 * level for intense.

Fixed the quote so it reads $200 now.

[dbd1963]

Dola:

I spent to get some extra flex points, I am now lvl 4...looks SS will be a hard position to work on.

Heh, the Hawaii Five Os still think the team is made up of the scrubs the CPU was starting. What a shock it will be when Larry sets the roster..

[Chubby]

Joey Dotson, WR is ready to rock

[bhlloy]

Alright, this looks like a lot of fun. Larry - any positions left that the FOFC team really needs?

[dbd1963]

Ahem.. a pass blocking left tackle? Seriously, we only have one tackle and he's a level 1.

We don't have a human C signed yet. I know someone made one though.

We don't have a human FB signed. I think I remember someone made one of these too..

Only two DTs and three CBs signed as of yet.

Oh yeah, no punter yet.

[bhlloy]

Alright, FB Tank Lloyd ready to go. You bastards better not be planning a single-back offense :)

[DanGarion]

I'd love to join a human team. :)

Daniel Schoonover, Kicker, already a level 4, will kick good for you. I need to make more then $300 a day (that's what my CPU team pays me and it's 1 buck more then how much my normal training costs.

[MacroGuru]

Well, I have enough points I can either start my own team or create another character

[bhlloy]

So, would it make sense to use the rest of my flex points to level up straight away? Or is there sense in saving them?

[dbd1963]

So, would it make sense to use the rest of my flex points to level up straight away? Or is there sense in saving them?

I've read both. The one thing people are saying often is that stamina is very important, because the amount of time you are in a game is what gets turned into your experience points. The longer you can play, the more experience you get.

But others have said that if you dump all your points into stamina, you have a crap player who never comes out. This isn't good for the team. So there's a tradeoff point. Some folks I read said that you should shoot for around 20 points of stamina for a 4th level player (which is what you can go up to by using all the flex points allowed).

Dang, forgot the saving part -- the reason to save is to get the easier level up from the season (you get fewer points in training the more points you already have), then before the end of the season do the flex point boost. You wind up with more overall points that for the season that way, but you do have a character that isn't all that good for almost the entire season.

[MacroGuru]

Went out and created a 2nd player...OT Joseph Thorbjorn

[TazFTW]

I'll do some more searching and make sure I'm compensating you guys properly.

So DeMarcus Lott is not getting what he is worth? Is DeMarcus Lott going to have to go on Operation Shutdown?

[Ben E Lou]

Yeah, the Lvl 4 CB's training costs are $800/day.

[Ben E Lou]

Larry - any positions left that the FOFC team really needs? +1.

I've got the leftover points to build another level four player, I think. Larry, just tell me what position you want him in.

[hawk4669]

Just made my attributes viewable. Sorry it took so long.

Level 4 Tight End.

Cheers!

[larrymcg421]

We definitely need a punter. We should be set at other positions, but could use some backups at RB, OL, and DL.

[hawk4669]

I'll create a punter right now....unless someone already has.

Cheers!

[hawk4669]

Dola,

Punter Legs Faustino is available.

Cheers!

[Alan T]

There is some guy on the GLB forum for our team asking about his job. He was on the team before you bought it and wants to know if he is going to lose his starting job

[larrymcg421]

Well, I think we only have one Guard. I don't mind keeping him, but I wouldn't want to start him over another FOFC'er if another Guard got created.

What do you guys think?

[Bad-example]

Change him into a kicker then cut him.

[Alan T]

Well, I think we only have one Guard. I don't mind keeping him, but I wouldn't want to start him over another FOFC'er if another Guard got created.

What do you guys think?

My guess is that he wouldn't be loyal to us if he got a better contract, thus we should also look at him from a business sense. Tell him he needs to perform or he might be replaced, but as long as he's there start him over CPU, but not before FOF?

[dbd1963]

I'd say start the best guys. Nobody has enough stamina to play the whole game so everyone is going to play. I think he's only a level 1 guy who just signed up yesterday. I can't tell because of the way they do the OL stats, but he might not have started a game yet. He doesn't show any pancakes anyway.

Yeah, I just checked and he doesn't show up in the box score for the last game, so he hasn't had a starting job to lose yet.

[hawk4669]

Play to win, start the best. Kinda cold I know, but hey....that's just business.

If he can perform, great. If not, step aside.

Just my two cents.

Cheers!

[larrymcg421]

Okay, I just offered renegoatiations to everyone that was signed at the lower rate. Everyone should have more than enough to do their training now. If you haven't accepted a contract yet and still want to play for the Silverbacks, post a message or or send me a PM in game so I can offer you another contract at the higher rate.

[sabotai]

Tell him he can start if he becomes a member of FOFC. One of us! One of us!

[ntndeacon]

Deacon Palmer is a DE if that helps.

edit a L2 DE

[FBPro]

Biff Chuckington is ready to sign w/ your club but needs to know if he is tlo be the starting QB or not?

[dbd1963]

I bought a team in the AA East -- the Richmond Razorbacks. I'm not going to run that one as a FOFC only deal, but if any of you can't find a spot on Larry's team I'll give you a contract. Note that I'm limiting the team to 1st and 2nd level players. I think most of the players on there are probably kids and I want to let them play (it's the teacher in me). Also, I won't have a player on the team. I'm just sticking with Tank as my sole player. So if you've got a 1st or 2nd level player, especially an FB, WR, OL, DT, CB, P and you can't get on Larry's team, I can take you on.

I'm a L1 QB - Biff Chuckington and was offered a contract by Larry but it looks like he has a L4 QB so that eliminates me for now so if you need a QB I'm your man.

[dbd1963]

I'll look you up and give you an offer FBPro. There is a QB on the team, also 1st level. I won't look for any more. With only two human QBs, and 1st level at that, you will both see a lot of time, but neither of you can last a whole game.

[FBPro]

Ok, signed w/ Richmond.

[damnMikeBrown]

I've got Annie Man, lvl1 HB. Actually added to the CD thread in the dynasty section about this. Never thought to put it on the off-topic side of things...rather short sited of me.

At any rate, I'm signed by CPU team at present, but will gladly tote the pigskin for a FOFC team.

[SteveMax58]

LB- Harry Balsac Level-2

This looks pretty cool & I'd be happy to be a Silverback or a Razorback. Though I'll probably buy my way to a higher level than I'm at currently.

[dbd1963]

You know, when I was choosing the name I didn't even realize it was so similar! It's the name of the team I run in my SP league of FOF2007. Sheesh! Can't change it now I guess..

I have two 1st level RBs Steve (and Mike I just saw your message), but Larry might have room for you. If he doesn't, and you don't mind staying 2nd level, I'll take you on. RB by committee looks like the way of things, at least at these lower levels.

[twothree]

The CPU team that I was on got purchased by someone, so I am stuck on his team unless the owner releases or trades me. For future reference, I also can't retire the player until his contract runs out, while he is on a human owned team.

So, T Maple Syrup got stuck....for 40 real life days (one season) on the new Seatown Saints team.

[dbd1963]

Maybe I can pry you loose with a trade.. I'll see.

OK, I made an offer. I am sending across a lvl 6 tackle for you. Told him we were friends and you were waiting for me to sign you when my team was up, etc.

[ntndeacon]

I am hopeful Deacon Palmer will get picked up by one of the Fofc teams.

[dbd1963]

..And just like that I sent you an offer. :) But I will understand if you want to wait to see what Larry offers.

[Eaglesfan27]

If you haven't accepted a contract yet and still want to play for the Silverbacks, post a message or or send me a PM in game so I can offer you another contract at the higher rate.

I just accepted the new deal. Also, I switched it so that you can see my attributes. I think in short bursts, he shouldn't be a bad pocket passer for a level 1 QB.

[Crim]

larry and fellow Silverbacks: Once the depth chart is set, please consider updating your "Playing Intensity". Seems to me, the starters should go normal, since they'll see more action and need to stay in the game longer, while they backups should hard, so that while they're (bbriefly) in, they can make a better impact.

Thoughts?

[Crim]

Also: 13 hours and 33 minutes until we dismantle the Hawaii Five-Os.

:drool:

[dbd1963]

Sweet sweet victory!


(I would be jinxing it if I weren't quoting SpongeBob..)

[21C]

When you get a chance, check out the Schedule and Scores page. Click on a game score from a previously played game and then find the Play By Play link. Click on Replay on any of the plays and it will give you a Football Manager-style presentation of the play. From there you can go to the next play and even pause or rewind a play. It is pretty freaking cool.

The only thing I haven't been able to work out is if the upcoming game can be viewed like this in real-time or if it only works post-sim.

[21C]

Just checked out the page source of one of these Replays and it has a script with stuff like:
var play_data = [[{id: 'ball',x: 90,y: 183.75},{id: '3271',x: 77,y: 179.75}

[dbd1963]

I've been reading the boards and it isn't real time right now. They want it to be, but they would need more server space to make it happen.

[Ben E Lou]

OK. For those with higher-level players looking for a team, I have purchased a team in the same league as Larry's, but the other conference. The Lowcountry Gators are now mine. Here's my referral link...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=567857

[BYU 14]

Just created FS Ace Idol, any FOFC spots still?

[Crim]

I've thought about it, and decided to set my game day tactics to "hard", even though I'm named as a starter. Reason being, the guys behind me are the same level, and so there's not apparently any drop-off when I'm out of the game due to Donovan McNabb-like exhaustion. Hell, our 4th string MLB is a 5th level CPU player, so from the standpoint of game results, the quicker we get to him the better... might even make us better in the fourth quarter of a close game.

[Poli]

WR Caesar Galamificon signed with the Lowcountry Gators earlier today.

[SirFozzie]

AE! Welcome back, man :)

[Chubby]

I'm a lvl 1 WR looking to get on a FOFC team :)

Joey Dotson is his name, catching touchdowns is his game.

[dbd1963]

I sent you a contract offer, Chubby.

Man, my team has fllled up. I have a few guys who are high maintenence though. Just like in real football, I guess..

[JAG]

Room for a CB? Working on point allocation and then will be ready (Jon Snow)

[dbd1963]

i could use a 3rd CB for sure.

[Fonzie]

DE Arthur Fonzarelli is now available.

[dbd1963]

I have 3 DEs already so you should check if one of the other teams needs you before I send a contract. I'd definitely put you in the rotation. OR if you would rather start, you could retire your guy and make a DT.

The only other starter I need is FB. You can't get FBs for a pound of gold at GLB.

[Ben E Lou]

Just offered The Fonz.

[Fonzie]

Cool. Thanks gents. I'll go sign with SkyDog, as he seems to have more of a need at DE.

[Fonzie]

dola-

I'm now signed with Lowcountry and ready to become a clubhouse cancer!

[Fonzie]

double dola

Crap. I forgot to use a referral link. Sorry fellas.

The second one would need that baseball bat removed, but other than that I think it's the coolest.

[dbd1963]

Man, those are all awesome!

Any chance you could come up with something for the Razorbacks? I ain't got a lick of artistic talent..

[hawk4669]

It is a toss up between #2 and #3 for me. I think I'm leaning towards the more fierce #3.

Cheers!

[cartman]

Eric Theodore Cartman is the newest defensive tackle for Lowcountry. Gilbert Brown is one of my heroes. :D

[WVUFAN]

Has Larrymcg set the lineups yet for the Silverbacks?

[dbd1963]

It looks like he has. He may not be finished tweaking though.

[WVUFAN]

Ok. Just wondering, as my char isn't even on the depth chart. (Robert DeMinas, L4 LB):(

[Poli]

Should've gone Lowcountry. ;)

[BYU 14]

Should've gone Lowcountry. ;)

WB Buddy!

FS Ace Idol has signed with the Richmond Razorbacks

Nah, leave the bat in. Our Ultra's will need a logo when they go head-hunting for opposing scum!What better than a gorilla and a bat....

[dbd1963]

The only starting position left on Richmond is DT. Anyone who just wants to start and doesn't care where, make a DT and let me know.

[larrymcg421]

I got some cash and a lvl 5 CPU player as a trade ofer for the non-FOFC human player. This means I have a free roster spot open for a Guard.

[larrymcg421]

Making some more adjustments to the Depth Chart. DeMinas is on there noiw. We should have agreat LB group.

[IMetTrentGreen]

Are you starting guys based on level or not being a CPU? I still have a CPU starting over my guy.

[Shkspr]

Slats McCoy is a player I have set up as an OG (Lv. 1) for any team that might need a lineman.

[bhlloy]

Are you starting guys based on level or not being a CPU? I still have a CPU starting over my guy.

I'm not even on the depth chart at all :( I don't mind not starting in front of a better CPU, but I would like to at least some action.

[dbd1963]

I think Larry is starting humans over CPU so he's probably going to change that.

I have 2 guards already, Shkspr, but I'd bring you in for depth. I think Larry needs a starter though.

[Chubby]

Signed with the Richmond Razorbacks, offered twice what Lowcountry was offering and I want to train up Dotson quickly :)

[larrymcg421]

Just offered Shkspr. Still making adjustments to depth chart. No human will be behind a CPU player.

[dbd1963]

I'm just throwing money around.. I read a thread where guys agreed that salaries ought to start at $1K a day, so I went with that. It's probably too high, but I won't run out of money in the first year. We'll see who wants to stick around for year two and go from there.

[Chubby]

We will be able to train fast tho which will make you more money. I can train Dotson fastest thru level 5 at $1k/week before I even have to tap into personal funds.

[MrKordell]

Just accepted my offer (C Anthony Serino). Can't wait to kick some Hawaii ass this afternoon!

[larrymcg421]

I misread the way DT and NT work, so I put both DT's in the DT category because the game says the 3-4 is not used. However, it looks like I need to put one in NT and one in DT. Setting it up now.

[FrogMan]

don't know how this works or what info you need but Frog Man is a level 2 DE currently playing one a CPU team in Canada...

FM

[Chubby]

Don't forget to start Dotson, especially since I think his ratings > the other WR ratings :)

[JHandley]

I misread the way DT and NT work, so I put both DT's in the DT category because the game says the 3-4 is not used. However, it looks like I need to put one in NT and one in DT. Setting it up now.

I think you need to fix the LB's too so we can get DeMinas starting.

[larrymcg421]

I think you need to fix the LB's to so we can get DeMinas starting.

I thought I had done that, but must not have saved. Should be set now.

[dbd1963]

Chubby, I bumped you up to 3rd WR. The 4th WR is the Punt Returner too, so he'll get his chances. I already promised the other two guys the starts. We'll figure out how much PT everyone gets -- I don't have any CPU guys playing at WR now. I think everyone is likely to get all they can handle.

FrogMan, I sent you the standard contract. You'd be in the rotation at DE for my team. I only have three guys right now, and one was there when I got the team and has not responded. He's on the verge of getting cut.

[hawk4669]

27 minutes to game time!

Cheers!

[Chubby]

oh Dotson will rip shit up if the other WRs look like Jimmy Sanderson :)

[kingfc22]

Just created QB David Gonzalez....going to give this a whirl

[FrogMan]

FrogMan, I sent you the standard contract. You'd be in the rotation at DE for my team. I only have three guys right now, and one was there when I got the team and has not responded. He's on the verge of getting cut.

offer accepted, you should see me on your roster :)

FM

[dbd1963]

Man, it's almost gametime! The Richmond Razorbacks are now starting all human players, and we've got a lot of human backups too. I guess that means we won't be all that good.. but everyone will get a lot of PT.

I think the game between the Silverbacks and the Hawaii Five Os is going to be a good one. Hawaii got a lot better over the last couple of days.

hmm just gained 440 exp and went down to 88 energy and it isn't gametime yet :)

We lost 20-13, but it looks like all our guys got plenty of playing time. Let's all go make ourselves better and we'll come back strong on Tuesday.

[Chubby]

2-20??? Sheesh...

7 Rec, 76 yards as the 3WR, by far the best stats of the WRs

Told ya you shoulda started Dotson ;)

Not all of our guys. Randall never saw the field.

Edit: I can't complain though. I just realized he is 2nd string and Tank just played the whole game.

Sorry, as far as I can tell, there's no way for me to set backup QB playing time.

I'll re-evaluate skills Tuesday to decide on the starters for our next game.

Looks like you did fine where you were. If you had started, the 3rd WR woudl have gotten what you had.

Bummer on the loss....but at least our first game wasn't a blowout.

Question for those in the know: I have flex points to spend, and levelled up my player yesterday. I know we can only level 3 times per season....but how soon before I can use flex points to level up again?

Thanks.

My 3rd QB didn't get on the field either. I thought for sure he would, but the 2nd string guy hardly saw any action.

Hey Larry, you can cut Tank in favor of the other two QBs. I'm having a blast as an owner. I'll just retire him if you want to go that route.

No problem. Like I said in the edit, I didn't realize I was 2nd string and Tank played the whole game. I can't complain about that. If I was 4th string, then I might have a bone to pick ;)

Nah, Dotson is a beast :)

I don't understand why you didn't. You were set as the only sub for the DE on your side. We'll rejigger the sub percentages because I want the subs to get on the field.

Nice, ended up as our best runningback statistically and scored our only TD, which is very surprising seeing as I set my guy up as a blocker first and foremost.

Speaking of which, very disappointing that you only get to see blocking stats for the O-line. Do FB and TE's even block at all? I'm wondering if I haven't made a huge mistake putting so many skill points into blocking and the blocking related abilities...

[duckman]

6 tackles and one pass knockdown. Not bad for my first game.

[JHandley]

Best stat of the day:

Lance Williams 31/57 for 251 yds.

Skydog's running the Run-N-Shoot.

guessing it's because I got to the team to close to the game. Kendall McGee, CPU DE played 45 snaps and isn't showing on the depth chart... Not that big a deal. Current energy is at 84 after playing yesterday, which may be another reason why I didn't play... No clue...

DeMinas has 6 tackles, not too bad. Sabotai kicked ass, even though we lost.
