Hey Larry,

This guy: http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=9619 sent me an email asking if I wanted to sign his level 4 kicker. he is almost level 5 and can boot from 40+ he says. Thought you might want to offer him a contract since he is on a CPU team right now and would cost you nothing.

we have a level 6 kicker... He's good... we're just workin' out the kinks...besides, I don't think that guy knows what he's talking about...

No prob, just trying to help....didnt realize your kicker was level 6...

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Hey, speaking of kickers, what is your kickers kicking at? I have mine up to 57, but I am now training up strength. I think I read somewhere that is how you get longer distance.

 

[Drifter]

Crappy loss Larry. You were set up for the game tieing FG until your backup QB threw a pick on his first play. Ugh.

I KNOW!

Looking over the play by play, we ended the first half on the 3 yard line, and went 0-3 on FG. We need to figure out how to punch those into the endzone.Oh, and my wife had 2 tackles on punt coverage as the center, she was hauling ### downfield.

Maybe give the starting big back more than 16 carries.

yeah, I think I made our subs too quick... I realize that....although 20 carries for you and 10 for rip is kinda what I'm shooting for...Also we're gonna go up the middle more in the next game...

Was the subs coming in on defense quickly too? Trying to figure out if Raistlin was tired in the 2nd half or we were just rotating. He was on the bench for both the TDs they got.

Yeah, there's only one setting and it applies at all times...So rather than rest your star CB on 1st down, they rest him on 3rd... Rather than rest your QB in the 3rd quarter, they do it with 1 minute left in the #######' game...Rather htan play your stud RBs in a close game, they play the third stringer in the final quarter (and he gets the go-ahead TD)... WTF?

My FB, Nintendo Wii, has done a great job making his blocks on short downs. He has missed only a couple I have watched. The other FB has been on the field more that I have noticed on short downs. Any way to fix that if that is something that may need fixing? Bryon Dickson is a CPU and only level 3 but what are his stats? He does not blow open holes.

he's off the depth chart now... let's see what that does... (I think I'll just cut him... lol)so you gotta work on your stamina, 'cuz you're in for the whole game now...ETA: instead I made our backup TE the backup FB too... he's a good blocker, too... so hopefully that works out... we'll find out 'cuz i"m cutting the CPU loser...

I leveled up and used my points for vision, agility, and blocking. My vision should be 14.8 before next game, blocking is 18, and stamina 21.42. This past game I played 40 plays and my energy went down 13 points to 87. The offense had 66 total plays... that would put my energy at roughly at around 75 if I was the only FB in the game.

ok, we should be good... if our backup TE can get 15 or so plays at FB and 15 or so plays at TE that's good... and he's a good blocker (into the 20s)...

Raistlin played 55 plays and only went down to 84. Maybe you wouldn't even go all the way down to 75.

Not sure if it is 1:1 ratio because the positions are different but my FB has a 21.42 stamina, played 40/66 plays and went down to 87 energy.My FS has a 21.5 stamina, played 61/67 plays and went down to 83 energy... my FS was, twice in a row now, the player who played the most defensive plays for the team.

 

[The_Burning_Bush]

I lost my starting job. :(

 

[larry_boy_44]

so... I trimmed the FFA roster quite a bit...

if you guys think we need another reserve anywhere... let me know...

and everyone on the DL better be training relaxed from now on... lol

 

[larry_boy_44]

also... if you are willing to be a reserve, we could use:

a reserve C

a reserve G (both sides, one player preferably)

a reserve T (both sides, one player preferably)

another WR (I might make this)

a reserve DT (again, you'd backup both spots)

2 reserve LBs (probably backup middle/3rd string outside and backup outside/3rd string middle)

1 more CB (preferable someone who can boost a little bit)

That's all the Free for All needs at the moment... let me know if you want any of these spots...

edit: Also, if you do want any of these spots, I think these spots would best be filled by someone with a little bit higher stamina and no special abilities (for now)... They don't need big plays, they just need to be the silent, hard worker type, ya know?

I am but Emerson's tired. Two games in consecutive days (one played hard, one played normal) and my energy is at 63!!I hate to back my play intensity back to relaxed but may have to eventually. I'll check it tomorrow and let you know whassup.

I might make a Center soon.I've been spamming the hell out of fantasy boards and I'm building up some flex.

OLB Scott McIntyre is now a proud member of Iowa FFA. Here's looking forward to many sacks in the future.

 

[Galileo]

I would love it if someone could add my referral link to the first page with the others. My new DT needs a little lovin to build up stats...

[cosjobs]

I need LBs, RBs, WRs and DE and a OG pretty desperately. All those starters are L1 CPUs, so I can offer starting jobs.

Texas FBG Wine Bats

I'd also appreciate being listed with the other teams.

Edit to add- never mind the L1 talk, I finally figured out all the default starts were L1s but had lots of talent on my bench, But still looking for players for LT

I would PM them to see if you can give back the Cdn one. I suspect this will be a common request.

I would say that you still want to recruit humans for your starters. Just small advice from someone with a whole weeks worth of experience.

I figured getting him in today on a team will give me the extra practice boost before midnite mountain time.

Uh-oh...that's crazy talk.

Announcement for all Goal Line Blitz team owners:

Due to high levels of frustration with being an owner - I'm clearing my team's roster of human players that aren't made by me (a few level 1 non-glamour guys, who i created for depth)

We are the Dunedin Beavers, AAA Oceania. We have talent, as we are currently 8-0, and are looking for very high level CPU talent or cash in return for human players. Feel free to contact any human players on my team, to see if they are interested.

I'm giving you guys the heads up - I've already let the 6 or so players who created teams int eh last 2 days who used to be in my team know as well.

The Detroit FBGs ended the first half with an 81 yard touchdown strike. You should take notes!

yeah, I think I made our subs too quick... I realize that....although 20 carries for you and 10 for rip is kinda what I'm shooting for...Also we're gonna go up the middle more in the next game...

Unless my stamina is the issue, I don't know why that's what you'd shoot for. At tthe moment Drifter Nagurski is averaging 3.7 yards per carry and Rip Speedback is averaging 3. I think the main reason for this isn't the lack of skill but, rather, the fact that you can't dictate if he is going to run inside or outside when he is in. A powerback has a bit more flexibility with the strategy options at hand because he can break the tackles through the middle and still have enough speed to get outside. Rip is probably very good outside, but doesn't have the attributes to go up the middle, meaning that he's always going to average less yard per carry unless the gameplan is to run to the outside most of the time.

 

[Galileo]

Well, that was anti-climatic. Finally play my first game and my DT gets 0 tackles...42 plays and zilch for tackles! Well, at least we won the game, I guess... Now, I know a DT isn't going to light up the tackle count, but one would have been nice...

I think they're coming.I'm seeing a lot more pressure from the DE spot as I watch games as the speed/agility/specials are becoming more apparent as it looks like the OL people only raise strength/blocking.
