Beginner's Guide?

[mattlanta]

Hi guys, I'm a tad bit overwhelmed with this game. Is there a beginner's guide as far as strategy and guides go? I played FOF a long time ago and I remember there were some beginner guides on how to read ratings, build teams, etc.

Also, are there still online leagues going on?

Sorry, there's not a single downloadable document that really works that way. We actually did one ages ago, but nothing at all recent. This forum is likely the best you've got. The in-game help file is ok, but not the most user-friendly.

Lots of thread shave been posted and answered here that could serve as a collective guide of sorts, but feel free to drop questions as you have them.

For what it's worth, the in-game buttons saying "Recommend" can be a very nice crutch to quickly and satisfactorily get you past some of the more intimidating moments in the game, like a completely blank depth chart or game plan or playbook.

Online leagues - a number still going, forum here (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/forumdisplay.php?f=21) with links.

I learned a lot from those two and the one in the reply right above this one.

Thank you, guys!

Does anyone have any advice regarding the creation of one's own playbooks / strategy?
