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: Quote:

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.

CB Richard Southwell is signed on.
I see a potential dynasty thread in all of this. |

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? |

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.

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.

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. |

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. Last edited by dbd1963 : 03-22-2008 at 02:56 AM. |

LOL. Probably would've been a better name for a OT...I'm not great at coming up with names. Maybe I should've named him Pancake or something...

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

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?

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.

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.

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? |

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.

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.

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. Last edited by dbd1963 : 03-22-2008 at 03:04 PM. |
