Team Needs update:Manilla Warlords needs:QB - need a backup QB!DT - will be a backup (for now) but will get extensive playing timeNT - will be a backup (for now) but will get extensive playing time2 DE - will also be backups, but will get huge playing time2 LB - backups here too - but as all of our defense, our backups get many plays and due to the fact that they are usually lower level than the starters, they will level up faster than the starters do!3 CB - need a starter here! Also need a nickel/dime back, and if you know anything about this game, the nickel/dime backs are actually in the rotation for the starters since CBs use up their energy very quickly!Ljubljana Pregls needs:WR - need a third WR hereDE - need a 4th DE to backup our LDE and keep the DLine rotation fresh2 LBs - need a potential starter here plus one backup. Everyone gets alot of playing time here1 CB need a 4th CBSS need a backup SS.If you want to join one of these teams and haven't yet made a player, contact me if you want and I'll tell you what I think the best build for you to make to make the most out of your player

APB on Rayder!

No kidding. I've PM'd him and he's been on so I assume he's seen it. His team needs some serious repair work immediately and by him not being around AND seemingly not wanting to give me the authority to make the fixes in his absence, it is inches from completely falling apart.

I've put them on developmental CPU squads for the time being, to make sure they get EXP.Maybe you guys get your house in order and then let me know if you need a player.

If you can get my level 1 guys 40 snaps a game, make them offers and I'll accept them.I will be doing season end boosting w/ these guys.If you can't give that many snaps to them, wait awhile and they'll level up. They'll be around next season and at a good contribuiton level.

I might have a Lvl 10 or 11 FB with 3 boosts left this season coming your way in about a week if things don't get better.

Here is some more info about what Hulk and Duff are talking about... Most people just 'settle' for the first player that is generated for them. If you retire and re-roll, you can significantly improve your stats. Listed below is something from one of my team's forums:edited out

I have spent a few lunch breaks just re-rolling offensive linemen. I have noticed that the guards I rolled had higher speed, centers would have higher block/strength, and tackles would be more rounded with nothing really standing out. Instead of adding up the important stats, I would just look at how many points were in the kicking/throwing/carrying.... useless stats for a lineman. Just looking at those, I would see swings of 10-15 points.Too bad I did not know that when I made my first player.

yeah, I went back and looked at all my guys. I got lucky with some who have multiple 7's in useless skills, but a couple of them could have been built better. my WR has a 10 in punting...for what? to kick the ball in the stands when he celebrates a touchdown?!

Yep, that would be great, Drifter. You'd have your choice of teams with that guy

I am glad I am on a FBG owned team. I got a coworker into the game. He had like 30 offers when he first posted his level 1 G. He picked one where the owner had high level players of his own, assuming this meant the guy knew what he was doing. His offer was to be a starter. Well the owner went and signed 2 level 6 CPU G, and has them starting. Both human owned G are now bench warmers. I told him to request his release and go play in the D-league for a while to figure out his optimal build.

Good luck to him. The owner of the team that I am on won't release me or trade me. He traded for me, I'm a backup and I play 30 plays/game.

If the owner won't let him go, tell your friend to just not login for about 3 days. He will appear to be inactive. Log in and watch his player - when he gets released by the owner (becuase he doens't want inactives on the team) then he can log back in and sign another contract. It might work, might not. But it's one way to get around the owner holding onto players that don't want to be there.

That was my next idea for him. If that did not work, I was going to tell him to start giving away the team tactics before each game to the opposing owner, and let his owner know he was going to do this. May not be the most ethical way, but it would sure get his attention.

 

[acapella]

Hey all, just registeres on this game and created a LB (with hopes of one day joining a FBG team - Drifter mentioned that he needed some LB help). I put most of my skill points in speed, boosted the strength a tad, and filled out the first "special skills" level (the one that makes the entire defense better if I am in the lineup at MLB).

I signed up for a computer-controlled team so I can learn how to play the game without causing any pain to RL players (fellow FBG'ers). Played the first game of the season last night. My player got 34 snaps and had 7 tackles, which I thought was pretty good (led my CPU team).

The game caused my endurance rating to drop from 100 to 83, so I decreased the intensity to normal (+9 end/day) so I could get my endurance back to 100 before the next game.

What is the best way for a newbie to learn the ins-and-outs of the game? Not sure what people mean when they talk about boosts and have no idea how to gain additional flex points (other than buying them at $1/pt). I gained 683 xp and assume I will gain more skill points when I level-up.

In any event, I am looking forward to learning more about this game and would appreciate any pointers or links that might help me learn more about it.

Thanks.

This is a little bit over the top. Also, if you do this, I can guarantee that the owner will ban your guy from the forum, take him off the depth chart and just let him rot for the remainder of the contract. Most people who own teams will grant a guy his release. Most owners are good guys.

Alright, there are guys in here who have built many more players than I have, but I will give you a few hints.First, don't put your points into special abilities so soon. They won't make any difference until your regular stats are higher. Make sure you put points into stamina as this will allow your player to get more snaps and therefore more XP.You can gain flex points by referring others to the game, but I would guess that this has mostly dried up by now. Also, you only earn 50 flex points for each person that you refer to the game. If you plan on boosting your player and buying special gear(level 8 and above), you will likely have to buy some points. By the way, you can boost 3 levels per season and the cost is the same as the creation cost of your player. I.E., if a LB takes 200 flex points to create, it will also take 200 flex points to boost him one level.As for learning the ins and outs, I would browse the forums a bit and maybe look to get picked up by a human team. Good luck.

I keep creating/retiring players to get a good start and shooting for what a previous poster said was a good roll.Can't seem to break a total of 80 in Agility, Stamina, Speed, Jumping, Vision, Catching... just rolled a total of 77, though.

I noticed a lot of stuff gets bounced outside and eaten up by LBs or DEs. The DTs are definately a presence.

I am glad I am on a FBG owned team. I got a coworker into the game. He had like 30 offers when he first posted his level 1 G. He picked one where the owner had high level players of his own, assuming this meant the guy knew what he was doing. His offer was to be a starter. Well the owner went and signed 2 level 6 CPU G, and has them starting. Both human owned G are now bench warmers. I told him to request his release and go play in the D-league for a while to figure out his optimal build.

I just checked his team and the owner has redone the starting lineup to make all the CPU players ride the pine. It only took him two weeks of trying to make it happen.

If you don't find a spot, I can use a 5th WR. Granted, being boosted, you'd be higher than 3 of my current WRs, but they are friends so I'd be hard pressed to put you in front of them on the depth chart.

Over the top? Pffft. I was going to suggest to find out where the real owner lives, then kill him and the rest of his family. Is that inappropriate?

This is a little bit over the top. Also, if you do this, I can guarantee that the owner will ban your guy from the forum, take him off the depth chart and just let him rot for the remainder of the contract. Most people who own teams will grant a guy his release. Most owners are good guys.

Over the top? Pffft. I was going to suggest to find out where the real owner lives, then kill him and the rest of his family. Is that inappropriate?

He would still be on the bench though. Unless he first tortured the guy to give up his login and password so he could change the depth chart.

I have a low level Guard on a team, run by a non FBG. Hardly any human players. Since Rayderr is not giving me the power to sign people for his team and is not taking an active role, if you want to go to a team where you will definitely start and pick up XP, PM KUJayhawk51 and tell him that drifter sent you.

I am glad I am on a FBG owned team. I got a coworker into the game. He had like 30 offers when he first posted his level 1 G. He picked one where the owner had high level players of his own, assuming this meant the guy knew what he was doing. His offer was to be a starter. Well the owner went and signed 2 level 6 CPU G, and has them starting. Both human owned G are now bench warmers. I told him to request his release and go play in the D-league for a while to figure out his optimal build.

If the owner won't let him go, tell your friend to just not login for about 3 days. He will appear to be inactive. Log in and watch his player - when he gets released by the owner (becuase he doens't want inactives on the team) then he can log back in and sign another contract. It might work, might not. But it's one way to get around the owner holding onto players that don't want to be there.

Yes, I can see my whole "kill the entire family" idea was planned hastily.

I'm going to join this tonight. Whose link should I use?

If no one else chimes in, here is minehttp://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=195119

Opinion please.

I am a level 10 Center (stats below) and got offered a one year $80k contract with a $15K signing bonus. My contract is up on Day 25 this season. I'd rather play for a FBG team (which I'm sure many of you know). I'm thinking that I should not accept this offer immediately and wait and see if a FBG owner will sign me. Whattya think?

Here are Tank Tankerson's stats:

Strength: 39 Blocking: 39.56

Speed: 15.19 Tackling: 11.8

Agility: 16.21 Throwing: 9

Jumping: 7 Catching: 10

Stamina: 27.15 Carrying: 7

Vision: 16.8 Kicking: 9

Confidence: 14.58 Punting: 8

Special abilities - Pass Block 32223 Run Block - 21111

TIA

Team Needs update:Manilla Warlords needsT - will be a backup (for now) but will get extensive playing timeNT - will be a backup (for now) but will get extensive playing time2 DE - will also be backups, but will get huge playing time2 LB - backups here too - but as all of our defense, our backups get many plays and due to the fact that they are usually lower level than the starters, they will level up faster than the starters do!2 CB - need a starter here! Also need a nickel/dime back, and if you know anything about this game, the nickel/dime backs are actually in the rotation for the starters since CBs use up their energy very quickly!Ljubljana Pregls needs:G - need a backup here to backup both G positions and will get a large amount of PTOT - need another backup here to help rotate fresh tackles into the gameWR - need a third WR here - you will get huge playing time!DE - need a 4th DE to backup our LDE and keep the DLine rotation freshSS need a backup SS - will get at least 30 plays per game.FS need a backup FS - same as SSIf you want to join one of these teams and haven't yet made a player, contact me if you want and I'll tell you what I think the best build for you to make to make the most out of your player

The big thing is that your stamina and return rates are too close together IMO.I also prefer man to man more than zone and would vary the run/pass defense more based on my personnel and the matchup.

I agree with Drifter. I think you are trying too hard to be too balanced. I think you stamina and return rates are way to close to each other. I am big on man to man than zone. If you are pretty much running the same offense every game no matter what then it will be easy for anyone to notice that and play their D to focus on your offensive scheme. You need to change it up more. If you want to be balanced.... that is fine.... but you need to have a game here and there that is not balanced. Keep the other team guessing. As for the D scheme, I think you have to really set that to what the other team does. Try to figure out their tendancies and move your team around that.
