Anyone? PLease!!

I recommend retiring him, it will be hard to get playing time. With only 1 QB per team and the backups getting no snaps most times pretty well every starting spot is filled in the game.You won't see playing time as a QB. A #4 WR or CB sees more time, and there are still teams looking for starters at those spots.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Alright I will say it.BIG WIN

Huge win coach, now are you sitting your starters for the next two games? Whats the plan??

 

[The Duff Man]

If you retire him you get the points back and can make a different position.

 

[Fallerjw]

Alright I will say it.BIG WIN

HUGE WIN!10 in a row, and the inside track for the homefield advantage through the playoffs.We need to bring the 'ship home!

 

[Abraham]

Alright I will say it.BIG WIN

Some timely defensive plays along the way, including our only sack by a backup DT with them driving in to our territory down 8 in the 4th.

 

[The_Burning_Bush]

My computer broke, and since then I was traded, the team was bought, and then I got cut. Still a FA

Damn that sucks.Need any help at any positions?

 

[Wild Young Billy]

OK. So tell me what I need to do to get on a FBG team?

 

[The Duff Man]

For those looking to get on to a team: My Detroit team is well stocked, you won't see playing time there.

This team needs players: Ljubljana Pregls

Contact the owner (or he can post if he sees this) and ask him what he needs.

WR Loquacious Jones got cut today by the Moscow Massacre.



Not only does that enable Loquacious to sign with a new team (preferably an FBG-owned team), but it has lit a competitive fire in him that may never be extinguished. He's angry. He's determined. He's looking for a little payback.

Give this young man a second chance. Ditch that CPU-powered wideout and sign this flesh-and-blood natural-born man to a decent contract. Get that energy onto the field and reap the whirlwind...TODAY!!!

any room on the Pregls for this guy, coach? we need WR's on that team.

Thanks for your interest but the Wine Bats have scooped Loquacious Jones up and provided some much-needed tutelage on how he should go about improving himself. No more strip clubs, no more endzone celebrations, no more contentious interviews with the press, no more concealed weapons charges.

THis is meant as constructive, please do not take offense. But a Throwing Level of 12 is ridiculously low. Those special skills you bought are worthless with that rating. No one could play a QB with a 12 for throwing.

[cosjobs]

Yeah, I wonder how crazy FA will be. I know I've got 2 high level guys that will be just waiting out their 1 year deals.

I hope you are more of a leader than we saw on the Eurotrash. Your new team will be looking for some leadership from their new L8 QB.

Fancy Boys are really rounding into shape.

Last real need is a couple of high level LBs

We'll be fine as long as the entire team isn't inactive and/or CPU.

I've got a Level 5 DE, Brock Monroe http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=35905

My CPU team got taken over by an owner who is MIA. I've tried getting released to no avail and he hasn't answered anyone's questions.

Anyone care to try trading for me? Am I pretty much screwed if he doesn't respond?

Otherwise is my best bet to retire and start over? What points do I get back, just what I started with, or what I've earned?

I think you get back all the pts you spent to create and boost and 70% of what you spent on equipment.

Unfortunately, you can't even retire until you are cut. It really sucks, at this point in the (Beta) game if you have a MIA owner you can't do a thing about it. Hopefully they will correct this soon. If you retire you get the 200 points back that you used to create him and you get back 70% of any points you used to boost him levels or buy him custom equipment.

Oh well. If anyone's interested, maybe send a trade offer his way. I'd certainly much rather play for a FBG team.

For those looking to get on to a team: My Detroit team is well stocked, you won't see playing time there.This team needs players: Ljubljana PreglsContact the owner (or he can post if he sees this) and ask him what he needs.

Thanks DuffYes, the Pregls need players. We are filled at human starters. Most of them are FBGs. The positions that I will start FBGs over normal citizens are the following: WR and DT. We REALLY need DTs.AdditionallyWe need backup CBs. Only two CBs can start (obviously) but four CBs get large pieces of playing time. For instance - our two starting CBs were in 57 and 49 plays. Our 3rd CB played in 43 plays.We need backup Gs. Our two starting Gs played in 53 and 46 plays. Our two backups played in 52 and 44 plays. We also need a backup C.We also need a backup LB, whom will get a bunch of playing time.

Thge Ljubljana Pregls. Hop on board HJS! We turned the corner and are starting to kick some tail now. Eastern Europe is ours for the taking!BTW - if you load up on stamina quickly, you will get more playing time than the actual starters, so you will level up more quickly than them... which will end up getting you the starting role.

Finally bought flex points tonight (had been levelling up through flex points I got from referalls) so I was finally able to buy a custom item. with +6 stats and an ability tree increased by 1 I should dominate even more.

Yeah, we should publish a starter's guide here on the message board. You can still do well though - if you neglected stamina early, you can put all 5 points into that ability and it makes a world of a difference

I am on several other teams and I think I could post a lot of valuable info with what I have learned from our Detroit team, but I am being stingy with it. Can't let all the good secrets out.We could start a general thread here though for strategy talk.

That was beautiful. The FB and Bogart made that play!

 

[mcintyre1]

The Grinnell Pioneers are now 4-0 with a 31-7 throttling of the Newcastle Jaguars. The Pioneers allowed only 16 yards on the ground on 13 carries and 154.5 total yards while racking up 262.5 yards and 3 scores on the ground for 386 total yards.

The Pioneers currently lead the Oceania A league in rushing defense (48.5 yds/g), Hurries (17 in 4 games), Forced fumbles (4), Fumble Recoveries (5), Pancakes (23), while placing 2nd in Pass deflections (45) and INTs (5), and 4th place scoring defense (9.8 pts/game). Looking forward to the playoffs.

So, I just got a PM from the owner of the team I'm on saying he had some personal issues and needed to make me the OC for the next few days. I don't know what the hell I am doing. Anyone have any advice they would be wiling to share? I'm a RT, so I don't think I can play around with anything to help me, even if I was inclined to.

Any and all advice is appreciated and smart-### comments are cheerfully shrugged off.

yeah, I'm very close to level 9 so the next points are in stamina/carrying. But lvl 3 Cover the Ball will help also.

Any FBG team in need of a placekicker should PM Apu. He just created one and doesn't have a team yet.

I think he's spending all 400 FPs on this player. Really committing himself to the kicking game.

Turn off auto adjust. It's the devil.Do what your team is best at. Are you guys best at running the rock? Then run the thing 75%.Blitzing is useless.That should get you through without any work attached. You should really watch the opposition's last 2 or so games and find out what they do most often, then plan to stop that.
