Ahem, 2 picks in the championship game and 5 picks overall in the 4 playoff games.

And all of that coming off the pine for my guy Soda Popinski. He's like Manu Ginobili off the bench.

Great game/Great Season. Nice coaching Duff Man. When's season 2?!

Anyone looking to sign up for season 2, please use this referral link. Thanks.

Is this where the ***OFFICIAL*** celebration is being held?

I was going to pop champagne but my wife told me to stop being such a dork

My wife is 100% unaware of GLB and will remain that way.Great game!

 

[Fallerjw]

Nice Season. Time to start working toward repeat championships!!

 

[cosjobs]

I have enough flex points to upgrade my level 6 SS to level 9 as soon as the next season starts. I signed a one year deal with one team, and I'm looking to get paid this off-season, anyone know what ball park I should be asking for??

I'd wait til the end of the season to boost.

Yes, especially if getting an extra half level for yourself is more important than the team having a player three levels higher for 14 games.

 

[cosjobs]

What's the over/under before a player is offered on eBay?

I've had discussions with Bort about this. We are both curious, but I'm sure someone else will pull the trigger before he gives me the okay.Doing it without his okay would be pointless, because you would need him to transfer the players ownership.

 

[cosjobs]

Are there any FBG teams looking for level seven starters for season two?

We could place them. COntact wine at GLB or pm me here.

 

[Dope]

Congrats Detroit Football Guys!!!

Your brothers over in Milwaukee are mighty proud.

:thumbs up:

The Free for All could use some extra players as well. May not be starters, but with the increased emphasis on team depth, everyone will get plenty of playing time.PM Larry boy or myself here or at GLB

 

[jabarony]

I personally don't see Detroit losing - ever.

 

[WVU Alum]

Not exactly a timewaster. i was done in 2 minutes. I'm a guard.

Now, after some reflection... care to reassess your previous evaluation of the time-wasteryness?

 

[Kirby]

Woo Hoo!!! The team I'm on won the Eastern Europe Pro!!!

 

[Chadstroma]

The Manila Warlords went to the conference championship game and lost... on paper we were the much better team so I am not sure how we lost. Anyways, we are also looking to sign new players once it is unfrozen.

I wouldn't call this a timewaster but I don't own a team. What is there really to do besides read the team board each day to keep up with how the team is doing strategy? Really doesn't take much to train your guy and only a couple minutes to level him up when that happens.

Yah unless you are an owner of a team, doesn't take much time... which I like. Just something cool to do.

 

[larry_boy_44]

Are there any FBG teams looking for level seven starters for season two?

the Free for All need a S and a DE... You won't be the starter, but you'll still get 50 or so plays/game as you will be rotating in at at least 2 positions...

 

[hutchins929]

I have a DE and a NT on a team. I was planning on buying a team when they become available and then signing my players when their contracts are up. The owner of the team I am currently on has suggested that I take on the defensive coordinator job. What would you do?

I have a SS that is LVL 7 and I'll be upgrading him to LVL 9 at the start of the season. Shoot me a PM if you'd like me to send his profile to you.

 

[The Duff Man]

I didn't realize but apparently Tim "Bend the rules to win an online Beta Football Game" Harper was also throwing games earlier in the year, playing his CBs at both WR and RB in order to level them up so he would have an advantage in the playoffs.

Have we ever figured out how old that clown is? That is the first website I have hung out on that has a ton of teens... The incessant whining and twit-mentality keeps me from spending much time on their forums.

I get the impression a lot of them are young but I have no idea how young. Bort made a comment about caving in to the "power gamers" when he made the changes that made stamina virtually useless this year. I doubt many people over 30 consider themselves "power gamers"

What is the story on stamina and what is its impact this season (2). I will hold off my comments before I know the whole story.

What is the story on stamina and what is its impact this season (2). I will hold off my comments before I know the whole story.

On the previous page here there is a link to the issue. Basically in the alpha season Bort had conditions in place where your starters would tire at a realistic pace, and when they were tired their play dropped off in a realistic manner. The alpha testers complained, their players couldn't stay in the game and they couldn't put up stats, so Bort changed it this year. I (and most people) were operating under the assumption that when your starters went down in energy they got tired and didn't play well, but from the sounds of it there is a relatively minor drop in performance despite having low energy. Some people figured this out and would set the sub out condition very low, like 20%, because even when that low they still performed very well. Because of this there was little need for backups. This was a real advantage against opponents who assumed the starters had to come out around 50%. Their lower level backups would come in and get pummelled by the other teams starters who could still outperform them even at very low energy levels.Bort plans on making adjustments for the next season to make sure people play worse when tired and make backups more important.

 

[The Duff Man]

Also, this year you could never lose more than 30 energy points in a game, so you would always be able to get back up to full energy. Season 2 you will be able to lose up to 40 depending on your stamina, so the cumulative effect is that over 4 or 5 games you might have to start resting your player or not playing Hard all the time. IE you wear down as the season progresses.

Good. Another element for strategy.

So, the abusers of the "stamina effect" will be worse off this year, right away, because they will most likely have lower stamina? Nobody knows what a good number for stamina is as of yet though.

I am guessing Tim Harper is college age, where you are old enough to know ways to screw people over, but lack the ethics to keep yourself from doing itHis sidekick, bolersam or something can't be past 10th grade, or has considerable ADD issues.

Unfortunately, I think the site creators aren't much older. They think the whole thing is a joke "BETA!". I told them that that guy "The Strategy Expert" was selling his tactics to new owners and received more than $2M in revenue from this (he sold them CPU players to make the transactions occur). They don't even care and didn't do a thing about it.



Any programmers around? Maybe we can start our own game

After I started with this football game, I became interested in similar sports related games. I found footstar.org... its a soccer game and it is totally free... no buying points to get ahead of the crowd or anything. It is a much slower paced game than goalline but it is much more thought out and thorough. If someone could make an American Football game using similar parameters of footstar.org... that would be golden.

You can say that againI don't know if the admins are immature, I think they just want things to shake out and if someone exploits things early on, it's safer for them to let that happen, rather than to drop the hammer and run people away.

 

[cosjobs]

I'm pretty happy with it.

It seems to evolve properly and adjustements and corrections seem to happen as they do in real situations.

I hope I don't get jaded. I'm really ahving a good time with it.

Yeah, he used the minimum players for all his farm teams, and then before the playoffs started traded everyone to his Pro league team, leaving the other teams with a skeleton roster, with CB playing on the Oline and crap like that.

That guy has over 100 players!!! He has 14 that aren't even on a team!

 

[The Duff Man]

120 if I counted right. I believe he needed 23,400 to create his players and an additional 70,200 to level them up. It appears that the players as far down as #100 on his list have custom equipment....if these are all 600 that is another 60,000. He must have used the 250,000 for $1000 option!

 

[The Duff Man]

Agility = acceleration?!

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread...1150&page=1

According to this thread it was posted by Bort in the Alpha season. So agility is even more important than I thought.

Mine knows. She helped name one of my players.She even wanted me to buy flex points so that I could boost him and give him the full +6 custom equipment.

 

[Drifter]

I've spoken with DD quite a bit. He just had a kid so he's not that young. I think the main thing is that these guys don't have a ton of business sense at whatever point they are in their careers. They also seem to take a laissez-faire approach probably because they are too young to see the benefits of having structure in place in an endeavor such as this.

Update on roster needs of Ljubljana Pregels:

Need starters for RB, MLB, OLB.

Need backups (and you will get lots of playing time) for FS, CB, LB.

Mine knows also. Infact she is Jabba the Hut, all-star center of the FFA. She kept asking what I was spending all my time on when I first started, and she wanted to give it a shot.

People better know that CB spot ain't the nickel back, cause I am going to lock that down.

 

[hutchins929]

Right now I have a level 7 DT but I am going to boost to level 10 as soon as season 2 starts. I have talked to the team owner about extending my contract. He has offered me a 1 year deal for a Yearly Salary of $56,000 ($1,400/day) and a Signing Bonus of $3,000. Is that a fair deal for a level 7 DT, level 10 DT or somewhere in between?

Yes, it's the 4th CB. However, as everyone here knows that all 4 CBs on a team get rotated pretty regularly as it is and they will be even moreso now that the admins are adjusting the stamina rules. I'll venture to say we could use even a 5th regular CB player on the team.
