Re: Gridiron Solitaire, Anyone Check This Out?

Matt, you can do that in the teaminfo.txt file (which is inside your league folder in the MyDocuments directory). The file is comma delimited, and if you look at the grade ratings for a team, you'll pretty easily see the five fields that represent ratings (they're converted from letters to numbers, but it's easy to figure out).

It's not before you create the league, but you can do the editing before you play your first game.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that version 1.2 just went live on Steam. Here's the change log:
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
1. The CPU max gain no longer extends past the end zone. This will make goal line stands much more possible.
2. On Rookie difficulty, the yards per match on offense goes from 3/8 to 4/10. There are too many people right now who feel the game is too difficult, even on Rookie, so this will help.
3. Penalty cards will now be less frequent, BUT matching a penalty card no longer gains yards or reduces the opponent's gain. This is how I should have done it from the beginning, because it presents the player with more interesting decisions.

CUSTOM DIFFICULTY
Now you'll be able to customize your difficulty setting. If you're fine on offense but struggling on defense, for example, you can make adjustments to defensive difficulty only.

NEW FEATURES
1. The Team History area is now an interactive Team History Museum, with a huge number of additional stats tracked as well as career statistics for named players. You can also see your all-time Franchise leaders in the franchise record book.

Each season has its own selectable book in the Team Library. And if you've won Gridiron Bowl Championships, enjoy seeing your trophies displayed prominently in the Museum.

2. New halftime scorebox with TV-style presentation.

Thanks and I hope you guys get time to check it out!

Re: Gridiron Solitaire, Anyone Check This Out?

tril, not in the short term. I'd have to learn a new programming language entirely, and I'd rather focus on the users who've already bought the game. That's why I've been making the extra content. Thanks for checking the game out, when you do.

Yeah this game is great. Most I've played a football game since probably NCAA 2006. I like the fact that you can play a game in 20 minutes or so and taking a team throughout many seasons is really fun. Great work, Bill.

Just won a game 13-10 after blocking a field goal with 0:02 left. Just like the FG Block from 06 Florida vs. South Carolina. Really awesome.

Guys, I started a thread in the Steam forum to follow a season with the Danville Ducks (the Maine Lobsters renamed). I simmed through five seasons and built the team ratings up via the offseason mini-game, then started playing every game on Veteran difficulty. Here's the thread, if you're interested in reading about how individual games flow:
