They threw the ball 36 times. They were hurried 19 times. There were also 5 sacks which aren't recorded as pass attempts.

TE isn't easy to guarantee targets. I wish I knew a magic formula to do it. I have a great TE on my team, I have the QB make him the favorite target, I even decreased the number of long passes so his routes would be targeted more often - it's still hit or miss.kerpow said:

Willing to play a level 1 OT, that will backup both spots, so you'll get ~35-40 plays per game.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but I figured out how to get your game number so you can "watch" the game in advance by opening up the page before the game starts and reload as plays get simmed.
It seems like the game #s are randomly assigned based on your team or your opponent. Go to your last game # and add one to it, that could be your next game.
If it isn't, go to your opponents last game and add one to it. This could be your next game.
If it isn't (because your opponents last game # was in sequence with his opponent in that game) go to your opponents next last game and add one. Keep repeating this process going back to your opponents last game and adding one until you find your game.
Re-reading that I don't know if it makes sense or not, but it works.

Probably stating the obvious here, but most of the OL is in the top 5 for pancakes
We also have more than double the team pancakes as the next highest team.We also lead the league in rushing TDs (14) and rushing yards allowed per game (10.9!)

Go Jira hammered the QB twice and made him fumble, but they weren't recorded as sacks.

I am all for that! Helps phthalatemagic's other team and weakens a top competitor for our Warlords.

Warlords have the following needs:
Major needs: TE and FB. Need to fill up the lineup- our starters energy is getting sapped from too many snaps.
Needs for Upgrade: LB- level 10's and up.
Minor needs: most other positions other than QB, HB, K, and P.

Rollin Pancake is feeling like the redheaded step child. Only ranked #11 in the conference (of roughly 80 starters)... all my boys are top 5... I'm making us look bad.Probably stating the obvious here, but most of the OL is in the top 5 for pancakes

Don't feel bad. It's probably becuase your guy is going up against their NT or something and he's the toughest one to put on his ###. I have a guard, and he doens't get many pancakes either. The entire line is awesome IMO, and that includes our TE and FB!Rollin Pancake is feeling like the redheaded step child.

60+, he's a teammate of mine. He's not even the highest level RB on the squad. Scary.
phthalatemagic
Footballguy
Over 60 base speed? I don't believe that. Maybe he has over 60 with equipment? Skill points get expensive over 50.
Seriously, Iowa could use a guy like that. Not to replace anyone, but to be used in tandem.I'll have to tell Snellman about you.....he might have to replace himself with you though
phthalatemagic
Footballguy
OK. If that's your base speed, then your other scores are ####. I'm really surprised that works! If you start a 20, which is doubtful, but just to keep it simple - you do... 20 plus 15 points at first level - 35 speed.level 2 up to 13 is 60 more points to spendto get speed up to 61, you needed to spend another 27 pointsThat leaves you 33 points to spend on agility, stamina, strength, jumping, catching, not to mention the skill tree. I'm just really shocked someone would go nearly all out on speed like that and it actually work. Feel free to show me where my math is wrong if it is.
your wrong so wrong send me a message and i will show you

Hey guys,
The team I’m on has nine inactive players this morning including 4 of 9 offensive linemen. At one time it was an upper tier team making it to the conference championship last season loosing 6-3 in a defensive battle. My guy led the league in rushing TD’s.
I don’t know why everybody quitting. The owner is a solid guy, our finances are fine, and the Defensive Coordinator does tons of research. We seem to have a solid starting lineup with two excellent RB’s, but the lack of depth is killing us.
Our starters are all in the 10-13 level range, but we’d probably take any help we can get. We’ll probably still make the playoffs, but the top two teams are leaps and bounds ahead because of their depth.
If interested, check out the Porto Reconquistas in the Western Europe AAA#2.

If we can’t right the ship, I’ll be looking for work. Need an RB?

Sure wish I’d gone for one of the original fbg teams instead of clicking on the first offer I got. Live and learn I guess.
Anybody else in the same boat want to consider some kind of merge?

After stumbling out of the gate at 0-3, the Pregls have gone on a tear, winning 10-3, 28-13 and today 20-0! The defense has really started dominating and the offense has finally turned it around!

USA A #3 League
Score: 0-102
http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=18902
Three times the opponent scored either a FG or TD, kicked off, forced a fumble on the KR, recovered the fumble, returned the fumble for a TD. 2 scores in under 2 seconds, three different times!!!!!
Yikes. . .
This team must have been used for a farm team to farm players, because at 0-6 and outscored 361-0, something's amiss. . .

Prodigious!!!
Between my own account and my son's account, I've created a bunch of "Adjectivious" Jones brothers, half-brothers and step-brothers in the game. All their avatars are black-and-white photos of black celebrities from the 50s and 60s.WR Loquacious Jones (Sidney Poitier)
WR Gregarious Jones (Nipsey Russell)
WR Melodious Jones (Nat King Cole)
TE Curious Jones (Sammy Davis Jr.)
HB Vainglorious Jones (Cassius Clay)
LB Furious Jones (Miles Davis)
LB Notorious Jones (Malcolm X)
CB Delirious Jones (Jimi Hendrix)
I can't believe I hadn't thought of Prodigious!

Quick glance seems like you've got a pretty good team. Get the right guy to GM or OC/DC and you should improve.
So, what would it take to convince a lvl 11 HB to join a desperate owner in a BBB? Well, if you play your cards right ...

They might have the players but perhaps the players just don't have the game experience and are gaining it as they play. The owner could also be learning the settings as he goes.

Happens quite a bit. that's what elusive style gets you, avoiding tackles even if it means going the wrong way. I've even ran the wrong way on a balanced running style.

My Level 5 WR needs a home. The owner got me as a throw-in in a 5 player deal. He said he is willing to trade me cheap. I don't want to be lower then #3 right now if possible.

Just sent an offer out for you. I'm trading him a lvl 7 OT that doesn't want to be on the team.

I have a question.
I have a Center who is listed as a backup at the Center position on the depth chart but not listed in the Guard depth charts. Earlier in the season I had more plays from Guard than from Center because our starting Center is the stud of the team.
I am up to lvl 9 and fully equiped but last week I only got 17 snaps. So I am wondering if I should ask the team owner about listing me as a backup at one of the Guard positions.

I try not to put players out of position because they are suppose to get hit with a big negative. Level 9 is not chopped liver even if you are not super star. The owner could change the energy settings to have you get a few more snaps from the starter and then also put you on special teams to get you more snaps. In the end, it does not hurt to ask.

Not entirely accurate.Players in similar positions only get a very slight modification (ie OT vs G vs C) CB playing as a 5th WR, it gets a little more as they get further (ie D-line filling in at O-line), etc
My DE has filled in on a half dozen plays as the OT, and he has 2-3 pancakes...so the hit can't be that bad...
