Frustrating to see my WR not doing so hot. I've noticed he gets targeted a couple of games but some some games he'll have 0 to 2 receptions. I'm not sure what I need to improve on my stats or if it's on the QB end, but figured I'd go here for some help.

It looks as if on all those plays my WR is getting wide open and the QB is throwing it at the right time, in between or before the zones, but we're not getting the job done. Is this QB inaccuracy or something on my end - do i need to up jumping (currently training focus), catching, vision?

 

[Kirby]

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...

I'm a C and on my team I'm the backup to all three interior positions. I'm always sealing off DTs from the guard spot.

You need more catching. A lot more. Like dump your next 3 levels worth of points into it.

 

[WVU Alum]

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.

Monty Brewster

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

Trade went through, thanks

Vision too. Your vision is terrible, probably can't see the ball until the last second so you may not be able to adjust to the ball.

 

[aardball44]

With a Strength of 11, you're getting muscled off the ball by defenders. The deflection and INT could both be attributed to your lack of Strength.

How do you even lift your helmet to put it on?

 

[BroadwayG]

How did you manage a 1 in punting? I haven't seen anything lower than a 7.

as the others have said, dump your points into catching and vision. also, you should train Jumping since it's relatively low and you'll get more benefit, and jumping does help catch those passes that are off target.

Well, that is why I used the words "try" and "suppose". I do think it is all a matter of degrees but to what extent each position change impacts the play is really hard to quantify, hence as an owner, I try to stay away from it as a general rule. Then again, when needed, I have and will break that rule.

 

[ChampBailey24]

How did you manage a 1 in punting? I haven't seen anything lower than a 7.

He likely has a 10 but the zero was left out when he copy/pasted.

 

[No. 16]

Thanks guys. For the quick analysis, figured it was vision and/or jumping.

Vision still trains at about .33 a day so after I train my jumping to about 20, I'll switch focus.

Next level up I'll dump 2 pts to catching and 1 pt to speed, agility, and vision.

I hate not spending skill points on Speed or agility when they only train at .18 every day compared to vision and jumping at .33

 

[Steve in Minneapolis]

I know a lot of people are trying to figure out the stamina / energy settings... Here is some additional info our team pulled together:

TWO KINDS OF ENERGY

Bort has said several times that the Energy system did not change, the only thing that changed was the cap on how much Energy you lost after games. During a game, every action has an Energy cost. Since the most you could lose after a game was 30, people just chose to train on relaxed and forget about it. BUT, players were still getting fatigued during the game. No one paid enough attention to realize that. The reason is that there are TWO kinds of energy. SEASONAL Energy and GAME Energy. Seasonal Energy is what you see in your player profile and reflects the accumulation of fatigue over the course of the season. Game Energy is what determines when you are substituted and when you come back into play and when you will have penalties for being too exhausted to play.

When the game starts, your Seasonal Energy determines your starting Game Energy. So if you didn’t get enough rest from the last game, you are closer to being fatigued when the game starts. Your Seasonal Energy is not used in the game. It doesn’t change until after the game and uses a different formula.

GAME ENERGY

During the game, actions or effects have a cost in Game Energy, until it drops to the Substitute Out level. While you are out, you will regain an amount of energy determined by your Stamina. The higher the stamina, the more energy you get back. The fact that you may have had sufficient energy at one level, but start getting fatigued if you do not increase it implies to me that either:

A) The amount of energy you regain for a certain amount of stamina decreases as you level or raise stats that may fatigue you.

B) Your Energy reservoir (value) raises each time you increase Stamina, but the cost of actions increase as the stats involved in that action raise. (faster running, more fatigue) This is the one I suspect.

Either way, you regain some amount of your lost energy when you are not playing (Note: It has not yet been discovered if this happens for every play that occurs since you were taken out or if you only regain energy for plays in which you would otherwise have been on the field). You stay out until one of two conditions are met:

A) Your energy percentage exceeds the Substitute In percentage

B) The other players that were eligible to substitute for you have dropped to less energy than you. Note: I think this would be the other people in the depth chart with you. Ex. The Sub rate is set to 50 and the Sub In rate is set to 80. You have three players in the depth chart for a position. Player A plays until his energy is 50%, then Player B will play while A regains energy. If Player B reaches 50% and A has only risen back to 60%, then Player C will play and A and B will rest. If Player C reaches 50% and B has only risen to 60% and A has risen to 70%, then A will return to the game, even though A has not risen back to 80%, he is the highest energy remaining.

This is how players can come to be fatigued in the game, even if the Substitution rate is high. And you can see it in a game, most often in the fourth quarter plays. When three lineman all try to block the same defender and seem to lose ground. When formerly speedy WR move very slowly. These are caused by excessive fatigue penalties.

SEASONAL ENERGY CHANGE

After the game, a separate calculation is made to determine how the actions you took in the game may diminish your SEASONAL energy. To prevent the extent a bad decision may effect a player after a single game, a cap was placed on how much you could lose from Seasonal Energy for the exertion of one game. That is why last season you could have 90 snaps on intense and still have 70 Energy showing and this year you would have 60% showing. The new cap was introduced to encourage managers to set substitution rates that would allow backups more playing time and to prevent teams from playing every game on intense level without repercussions.

WHAT EFFECTS GAME ENERGY AND BY HOW MUCH

No one has precise equations or values for the cost of various actions, but Bort has discussed comparative examples.

1) Plays that cover more distance will require more Energy than short plays. Kick offs and Returns both involve a lot of running over distance. That’s why players on special teams have lost more energy for a given number of snaps than someone playing another position. It is also why WR on teams with a high percentage in long pass have been losing more energy. It is why CBs on man-to-man coverage have been losing more energy.

2) Certain special events can inflict a lose of energy. Being the victim of Pancake was mentioned as a specific cause of losing more energy than normal. This is why D-linemen have been using up energy more quickly than O-linemen.

3) Playing on intense. Fairly obvious

4) Being double or triple-teamed. Another reason D-linemen are more prone to fatigue. They are more often double-teamed.

HOW DO YOU AVOID BECOMING OVERLY FATIGUED

Everyone knows that Stamina lessens the effects of fatigue. But many would be surprised how much it would take. A simpler solution is to minimize situations in which fatigue accumulates faster than the depth of the team can compensate for.

1) Avoid drain that is greater than your stamina can handle. If all of your WRs have low stamina, set the percentage of long and medium passes lower.

2) Only one high energy activity per person. If CBs use more energy covering WRs, do not add them to special teams.

3) Do not subject a position to more energy drain than the depth of position allows. If the two RDE’s you have are fatigued before the game is complete, then put more DE’s in the depth chart.

4) Conserve energy of essential players. If the overall power of your starter is much higher than the backup, do not have the start play on intense.

Ok... looks like I need help/suggestions.

The Manila Warlords are a top team in the Southeast Asia AAA. We went to the conference championship last season and lost a close game. We are well positioned to win this season- a recent power rankings and general agreement is that we are 5th in the entire league and many key players have not used all their level ups yet.

We are flush with cash and have the biggest stadium in the league.

Most players have bought into our 'team first' philosophy. We tend to be a run first team. With that background, here is my problem- Our QB, who I think is likely a young kid, named Kobe Iverson (Shouldnt that name have been a screaming red flag?) has been making some comments here and there. He has clearly been upset that he has not been 'given' a Game Ball (we have game by game offensive and defensive game balls voted on by the rest of the team) in the past. He has prob been nominated in this voting more so than any other player because we value no INT's in our offensive scheme but he has never been voted in for a game ball. He has now had a meltdown and has made the statement "I want more throws or I want out."

He is under contract thru season 3 day 1. Level 11. Our backup is level 3. I need to either keep him happy and ditch our offense (not happening), find a replacement somehow at a higher level, or prob end up giving up hope on a championship run with our level 3 QB.

My thinking was to respond to him with logic. Saying that I understand that he is unhappy and that if he stays on board and works with the team to go as far as we can as a team that in the off-season I would work with him to find him a new home but on the flip side that if he decides to be a cancer that I will bench him (effectively stalling his development as a player- staying at level 11) and certainly not help him in finding a good new home.

Any other advice, thoughts, ideas?

By the way, that Iverson character is a terrible QB for your offense. Too many points in speed and agility for a QB who doesn't run. In my opinion, that Level 6(boosted to 9) would be worlds better for your team anyway.

Aren't there still more QBs than there are jobs? If so, tell him to take a hike.And give this guy a look.

Agreed, I have been asking him to build towards a pocket passer but obviously he is not one to take direction.

Nope, not my guy. Just first suitable one I saw on the players looking for teams post. Actually Stu's suggestion is more talented.

I certainly hope that the 'trade' offer I just got was not from a FBG. Offering a level 11 inactive QB and some cash for the punk QB in question.

I did... but he was not interested. (for everyone... the QB is the team Owner) We talked about doing an all cash deal. In the meantime, I just signed a level 10 QB. No bonus but a big contract. (maybe too big but I wanted insurance) and have booted the punk QB off of our depth chart and on the bench. If I trade with this guy then I will have to cut to the level 10 (more than likely) to be fair since I think I promised a starting gig and plus I have a backup QB with a great owner that I dont want to screw in all of this. We will see. Either the level 13 guy or level 10 should actually be a better fit for our team anyways. Everything always happens for a reason. As for the punk QB... well... unless I find a good trade for him, he will be sitting on my bench until his contract expires this off-season.

I did... but he was not interested. (for everyone... the QB is the team Owner) We talked about doing an all cash deal. In the meantime, I just signed a level 10 QB. No bonus but a big contract. (maybe too big but I wanted insurance) and have booted the punk QB off of our depth chart and on the bench. If I trade with this guy then I will have to cut to the level 10 (more than likely) to be fair since I think I promised a starting gig and plus I have a backup QB with a great owner that I dont want to screw in all of this. We will see. Either the level 13 guy or level 10 should actually be a better fit for our team anyways. Everything always happens for a reason. As for the punk QB... well... unless I find a good trade for him, he will be sitting on my bench until his contract expires this off-season.

I am sending you an offer. I have a Level 10 QB (almost 11) that I want to get on a FBG team.

Leveled up to 15 after today's win. Spent 3 on strength, 1 on tackling, and 1 on "Swat Ball". If all else fails, star DT Abe Capella will muscle through the line!

Is this your guy Brewer?

Nope, not my guy. Just first suitable one I saw on the players looking for teams post. Actually Stu's suggestion is more talented.

Lvl 13 QB if you need one and want to send current owner an offer.

Good. That guy is a punk. Glad you are taking this route, C.

I am thinking about it. Absolutely would love to have another FBG on the team and love the build. On the minus side, I would have to cut the QB I just signed and that with the trade would mean two hits to the team chemistry. On the unknown side- I might be able to get a very well built level 13 QB for cash. Should make a final decision tonight.

I should finalize everything tonight. Might just keep him rotting on the bench if I do not get a decent offer for him. I am NOT going to just drop him. He is either getting traded soon or sitting on the bench until the off-season.

I think that's a good idea. You should at least hold out until you get cash for him. 100K for him is two players' level 16 equipment you don't have to pay for.

 

[cobalt_27]

Ok... looks like I need help/suggestions.

The Manila Warlords are a top team in the Southeast Asia AAA. We went to the conference championship last season and lost a close game. We are well positioned to win this season- a recent power rankings and general agreement is that we are 5th in the entire league and many key players have not used all their level ups yet.

We are flush with cash and have the biggest stadium in the league.

Most players have bought into our 'team first' philosophy. We tend to be a run first team. With that background, here is my problem- Our QB, who I think is likely a young kid, named Kobe Iverson (Shouldnt that name have been a screaming red flag?) has been making some comments here and there. He has clearly been upset that he has not been 'given' a Game Ball (we have game by game offensive and defensive game balls voted on by the rest of the team) in the past. He has prob been nominated in this voting more so than any other player because we value no INT's in our offensive scheme but he has never been voted in for a game ball. He has now had a meltdown and has made the statement "I want more throws or I want out."

He is under contract thru season 3 day 1. Level 11. Our backup is level 3. I need to either keep him happy and ditch our offense (not happening), find a replacement somehow at a higher level, or prob end up giving up hope on a championship run with our level 3 QB.

My thinking was to respond to him with logic. Saying that I understand that he is unhappy and that if he stays on board and works with the team to go as far as we can as a team that in the off-season I would work with him to find him a new home but on the flip side that if he decides to be a cancer that I will bench him (effectively stalling his development as a player- staying at level 11) and certainly not help him in finding a good new home.

Any other advice, thoughts, ideas?

As one of your b/up RBs, I wholeheartedly support this thinking. He doesn't run this team...you do. Everyone else is on board, and I get the sense that most folks want to do this the right way. From what I've seen of this squad, it's a dominant rushing offense. It's just the way it's been built. If we deviate away from the philosophy that's worked an give him more throws, I'm not convinced we'll be as effective and might lose a chance at the championship, anyway, if he were to get his way. I would look start searching for a replacement OR giving our #2 guy more reps and relegating Kobe to the bench to wither away.Harsh, perhaps, but it's just not my bias to let this kid run your show for you.

My .02.

Ban him from the forums, too.

You guys need to quit handing out game balls so no won gets theiw feewings huwt.

Either that or make sure I don't sign sniveling 12 year brats who think it is a good idea to name their QB "Kobe Iverson".

So, what happened to the "Player's Association"? I have not heard from them in a while.

I think they figured out they have just as much power as the rest of us, which is very little. After no one listened to them or took them seriously they seemed to fade away a bit.

Yeah I laughed when I saw that play.I think if that HB was on my team I might have to release him unless his name is Jim Marshall.

 

[WVU Alum]

Pretty torn on who to boost at the end of the season. I know I am boosting my Pro League OT for the duration of either his career or my interest in this game. I will probably do the same for my guard. After that I am torn. I'd like to Boost both my LB and my DE but can only afford to boost one really... $16 bones a month to boost all 4 of these guys may be a bit much. I used all my referral FPs like an idiot (brought my RB from my experimental and now defunct account over, and created a DT and WR... I am sad).

So really I may only need to do the $16 buck route once. After that it should drop to 9ish with referral points if I am willing to troll Yahoo answers or lame boards like that for handouts.

 

[phthalatemagic]

Pregls current needs:

WR - need two of these

backup CB

starting C

Will take a starting C and starting QB as a package deal if possible
