Facebook games are simple to run. Just add the app to your profile. Then choose it from "My Apps" and you're good to go.

Glad to hear that.

Re: Tecmo Bowl MMO? YEP!

Playbooks are another awesome thing. We will have an initial set of 30 plays to choose from and can incrementally increase to infinity if we so choose.
Defenses will be in formations but when the offensive play-call matches the defensive formation call, the all-out blitz occurs. Example: both call Up + C.

Play example:

So you'll have ten of these plays available for a particular game? Is that 30 total plays counting offense and defense?

If yall dont get the kickstarter money, will I still be able to get a character in the game? Or how will that work?

We aren't planning the KS demise just yet. We'll supply options after the project's success!

Ah cool, thanks. Looks very similar to Tecmo ratings. How does Footwork rating work?

New gameplay video!!!

http://youtu.be/DmIpCM8ir9s - LINK

This shows a majority of all the new cutscenes. It is lacking scoreboard functionality, new menus, new defenses, etc

You'll see the skeleton of the original ones as these are stupid easy to create. Menu update soon!

Also, our Kickstarter is 3 days away! Help if you can! - LINK

Looks good so far. Nice to see Tecmo Super Bowl running without flicker and slowdown.

One question:

Why are all the players' first names in lower case?

The player names font for kickoffs and TDs also seems a bit off.

Minor formatting glitch at the moment. That will be corrected. Blitting all the cutscenes makes spacing a bit muddled.

im curious on the setup of the leagues?

will they all be independent from each other? can you decide whos in or out of your leagues? will there be non-money-spending leagues?

These have all been previously answered. So excuse my copy/paste as I'm not trying to be rude.

-- im curious on the setup of the leagues?
One full season of Gridiron Heroes lasts 28 days, with every team playing one league game every day—and for every game, you can watch a live simulation (for now**). At the end of the season, the top four teams qualify for the next season's Derby, and the top seven teams progress to the next level. In order to win matches,you need to have top-tier players on your team—either by acquiring them from the market, or by bringing them up yourself.


** - Gridiron Heroes is currently a team-manager GM-style simulation. As we grow, this will become a full-blown live multiplayer scenario. Start working on your D-pad thumb now!


--can you decide whos in or out of your leagues?
--will there be non-money-spending leagues?
Private leagues are an expansion being looked into but will not be a part of the main game. You will still play and build your team through the normal method but would be able to play in a separate private league with an optional handicap setting.
