*** Official *** FBG's Goal Line Blitz Discussion Thread (2 Viewers)

Let's not get real greedy gentlemen. I took an offer with the Detroit FBGs that wasn't hugely lucrative either, but I wanted to join a winner. Let's be team players here.
We gotta be realistic here. If we want to play as a team it will be a work in progress unless guys are willing to put in coin. I have level 5 and 6 defensive players that are going to ride the pine so level 2 FBGs can start.I will buy a second team for serious competition (if allowed to have two).
I'm in the process of buying some flex points, so my SS will be able to lay some mofo's out by our next game. too bad I already signed that crappy contract! :shrug:
Let me know, I can readjust contracts for players that level up after.
Really? Larry - bump up Nagurski. I pushed him up to Level 4.
 
Someone just offered my CB level 4 a starting spot when they have 2 CBs level 6 (cpu). Is a person lvl 4 better than a cpu level 6 or is this just some sort of ploy to sign me as a 3rd CB?
slow up, I'll sign you... lolwhat's the name?
Raistlin Majere
you'll start for the Free for All.I'm gonna use the high-rated CPU guys to trade for other, higher rated, CPU guys at other positions...
So coach, I still don't get what would be best for training intensity so if you have an idea, please advise.
for now do the lowest level so you keep your stamina up. We are very deep at CB, but I've decided that with your speed I'd like you to give returning kicks and punts a shot. Be our Devin Hester... :fishing: :shrug:

I already offered you a new contract a while ago... you need to accept it (let me know if you didn't get it... I might have mis-clicked somewhere)

Cool cause I had returning in mind when I made him. Hopefully I didn't screw it up.

The only thing you might wanna do is make your carry a little better so you don't fumble, but its already pretty decent...make sure to train on lower levels (so stamina is + a lot) so you can play more, though... Starting CB and kick/punt returner is a lot of playing time...
 
I just made a level 4 WR. Didn't make him specifically a burner, or a possession WR, he has great overall skills though.

Paul Warfield.

He'll be looking for :thumbdown: :fishing: :lmao: :lmao: :moneybag: so if you aren't willing to open the checkbook, look elsewhere. Someone will.

 
Dope Hacksaw has agreed to terms with the Seattle Free For All.

He'd like to thank the owner for the wining and dining.

I'm gonna buy me some stuff. :thumbdown:

offer sent...
Did I mention he is 6'4"?Thanks for the offer. I'll probably accept, but I want to see what's out there. You going to keep me as a starter?

yeah, you'd start... I probably have a level 6 QB coming (I think he's the highest rated QB on the planet right now)

I'm level 4 now, with mad tackling skills.

:thumbup: This could be awesome. What sort of offense you plan on having? ;)
 
Yeah, so I'm a level 2 LB. I'm assuming the guys that already have level 4 and 5 guys are shelling out $ to upgrade?

power running up the middle to free up our WRs on the outside. That's as deep as I'm seeing the ability to make lolBut we need a guy who isn't just a speedster and is gonna catch most everything thrown to him on the outside. You sound like a perfect fit for what we're gonna do.
 
Larry boy - What positions do you need??? I will be making my player shortly.
SS could be useful, especially if you only create 1 guy and he's level 4...TE and LB could use upgrades, too... and would be options...otherwise I can't promise the starting gig, but you would definately get playing time (and probably start next year). The only places I definately have someone is I have a RB, WR, T, G, DT, and CB... so other than RB no spot is 100% taken...

perfect... do that for a couple days and get carry up some, then maybe tackling or something (whatever you think it best)
 
I started a strategy discussion in the Detroit Footballguy Forum for our first matchup. If you are on the team pop in and let me know your thoughts.

I was thinking TE so I will go that route.

Ehh screw the other offers. Paul is catching a flight to Milwaukee right now to shop for a house. I hope we win it all this year. :thumbup:

you should be able to get to level 4 if you only create 1 player to start off...
LBs cost 200 so you can only get to level 2 to start. RBs and QBs can't even level up without $
oh... maybe I was wrong and couldn't level up that far 'til I gave them $$..
Well, if you need a LB....:thumbup:John Hill.

I could also get some custom equipment to power up some areas. Looking at raw numbers though is hard for me to figure out what would be best and how many of those to use.

wherever you think it works best. You're a corner, so speed, hands, agility are important. Tackling since you're on d. hands are a concern because you are a returner.lean towards those areas if you are gonna make equiptment.

Coach...I am modeling myslef after John Hannah. Not the strongest guy, but one who is athletic too.I hope that fits in with your power running game.

Probably hold off for some results first. If I start fumbling, I'll get some hands. If I start missing too many tackles, I'll do some there. Think the best thing right now is to sit tight and let the results tell me where to go.

exactly what I'm doing, too. I have an OT and a DT and I'm waiting to see what the results say for a game or two before I make anything costum (I did buy equiptment that is basic in all 4 areas, though...)
 
I think the reason why someone would offer a starting job to someone even though they have a CPU at a higher level is that you can strategize with a human player better and have them adjust their tactics to your game plan.

plus if you take into account equiptment (and costum equiptment) a human is almost 1 level higher than thier actual level at minimum as far as ratings go... and they'll probably improve better/faster than computer players (who might not improve at all)

I was thinking TE so I will go that route.
Iron MikeL2 TE, 6'-5", 246lbs increased route running and catching, slight bump in speed. Planning on making him catch anything over the middle.

 
This is a crazy theory of mine, hell it may be clear as day to everyone else here -

I think stamina will play into how your players perform in game. I also think stamina also plays into how your players train. When I see the training intensity values, with intense being +3 en, and the relaxed being +15 en that says to me that intense makes your current energy refill slower, but whatever you are training increases at about a 20% greater rate. This really means something after a few weeks (if we keep playing that is). Now if I'm assuming you guys had the same priorities as me, you wanted to put your points into other stuff, and not stamina when creating your character, you may have put in a token point but nothing of any value over the original newbie stamina value. So we are all low in stamina. In my opinion, if we all make the investment in training stamina intensely for a week or maybe two, we will be able to train harder for real tangible values that have actual payoffs ingame. This may cost us some wins or stats in the short term, but our players will be better long term (if that matters to anyone)

I gave my guy a ton of stamina...if you are worried about stamina, I'm pretty sure I gave all my guys signing bonuses, buy equiptment (basic stuff for now) that has +1 stamina on it, you'll go up 4 points (which is like a 50% increase over where most guys started)...
