*** Official *** FBG's Goal Line Blitz Discussion Thread (3 Viewers)

the packmentality werewolves are looking for a level 20+ guard. you will see 30-40 plays a game & will be an integral part of our offense. let me know here, or over at glb if you'd like to join up.

i might have some decent trade bait if someone has a guard they'd like to trade.

 
Canadian Pro team in the middle of a rebuild needs Lvl 20+ guys to start.

Come help us...it'll be a challenge.

Just got a new team looking for all players, i think this is a level 13 capped league. Also looking for gm's. Would love to have a bunch of fbg's so let me know.

I just got one as well. My team is only going to have a minimum roster to ensure all players maximum playing time, in fact CPU's will be manning special teams.If your experimenting with a player build then this is the place to bring them, I can assign them to the position you want them in (LT or RT, etc). Slow building of players is what this team will be doing as well.

ETA - Cheap salaries for all and bonus money to be paid later. But there is a strip joint, free booze and all the food you can eat.

Have you guys noticed if all the championship winners go into the same division when they move up a league?? I think that the USA AA West has gotten every champion that moved up and the East keeps getting the second place team.Are we the only unlucky ones, or does this happen elsewhere?
Teams in the East stay in the East, those in the West stay in the West.
 
The Kamloops Nittany Dodgers, Canadian AA#1 West Champions, now moved up to AAA#1, are looking to add one linebacker so we can effectively experiment with the 3-4 D. We have a solid squad, have kept most of the roster intact, and should be competitive in the higher league.

We give most players as equal playing time as levels allow. Our current linebacking corp consists of the following levels: 22, 20, 20, 16, 16. If you are in this range and would like some PT on a solid squad, shoot me a PM here or on GLB (FBGBullDozier over there).

Dont bring that weak stuff to AAA :shrug: J/K looking forward to playing you guys this year. If you dont find anyone I have a 13 LB I havent boosted for season 3 yet. your welcome to him if nothing breaks loose.FYI I run 4 LB in the 4-3 and plan on only carrying 5 on the teams which are going to run the 3-4, unless we run into stamina issues this is our game plan.

So is every West division stronger?? Odd that every single champion so far has been from the West.

No. We are in the East and won USA A in season 1. In season 2 the winner of AAA2, AA3 and AA4 were all in the East. The winner of USA Pro has been from the East 2 out of 3 seasons.Just bad luck if you are getting all the winners.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. We are torn with wether or not we actaully want to add another LB, but I figured I'd see if I could find a higher level player here that could improve our corp. LB is a weak spot for us.

We're also looking for a good, well built, high level WR to open up the passing game with. If you have one looking for a home, let me know.
 
Ok, I been trying to focus on signing players (not a lot of success).

I looked a bit but I am burnt out right now.

Can anyone explain to me how the new changes to depth chart work? CB, CB1, CB2, CB3 etc and the same with WR.

I think I have an idea but would like to make sure.

 
Instead of having all the WR and CB just move up in line when the top one gets tired (3 goes to 2, 2 to 1...) you can now specify which guys you want to play at which position. I am also assuming that CB1 will match up with WR1.

 
the site is now down, but there is a thread in the canada pro leagues about a fairly serious cheating scandal perpetrated by the dong energy team. they hacked into glb & obtained access to people accounts including bort's. not good. i'm not super computer literate, but it involved stealing or being able to read cookies on peoples computers.

 
seems like it was limited to only people that visited their offsite team website.
Correct. From what I understand from the thread, anyone who visited a certain external website ran into a malicious script that would take their GLB session info (since the majority of users keep cookies from the site) and basically they could access that persons acct. until they decided to log off it. Using this they apparently had access to quite a few teams tactics via GM's / owners and basically would go in pre-game, change them and then post-game change them back. Since people love to ##### about how the sim is anyway, most people would just write this off as whining.According to the thread they even got into Bort's account for a period of time. Bort said he fixed the loophole they were exploiting in the session data so the same trick won't work anymore and also that he was contacting these people's ISP's and possibly more (one of them left their whois information open). Unfortunately it looks like it ruined at least a season of Canada Pro. Basic rules apply I guess, don't visit external websites for GLB unless you have a pretty solid idea nothing will happen. These guys weren't even that bright (considering the fact that they somehow lost one season with this info) and still basically could put the game into a serious credibility issue for some people.Note that no passwords were stolen from what we know, nor is your CC in any danger, because I'm sure some people will attempt to claim that out of ignorance or mistrust. Session data was used to take advantage of the system.

When is the best time to boost? ASAP? or spread out the 3 boost over the course of the season?
It's best for YOU if you wait until the very end of the season (because of the way experience works).
Now that we're more or less still in the off-season, should I boost now before for the first scrim game?
Neither. Like Worm said, it's best to wait until the end of the season. This is the opposite.

Alright, I'll wait. What are the advantages to boosting at the end of the season as it relates to XP?NM, I think I understand now.

That Dong Energy thing is some crazy ####.
:whoosh:
In Canada Pro, the Dong Energy team made their own website. For anyone that went to it they had some kind of script that copied the GLB cookie from their computer. As long as the person didn't log out, Dong had access to their account. They looked at everyone's build and apparently altered team's game plans just before the game, then quickly went in and changed it back immediately after the game. Rumor has it that they also had access to Bort's account but this is not confirmed. Anyone who visited their team website was a victim. This is what prompted the security changes by Bort. I don't know why it hasn't been addressed publicly yet, the info is all there in the Cdn Pro forum.They have all been banned and Bort posted that he may contact authorities since it may constitute an internet crime.
 
For some reason I can't sign in to my account. I get to the site and I go to sign in and it just brings the sign in screen back. Is this happening to anyone else?

Wow. That blows. Big time. What a mess....
 
site went down...

but right before it did, I saw my season ticket sales...

as usual all the 100 level sideline seats and the luxery boxes = sold...

the crazy thing is... I think I was getting paid for selling tickets to the preseason games... :goodposting: we'll see if that stays (it won't)

 
These guys really need someone on board with basic business skills. They roll out a bunch of "updates" with flaws, try to cover up the Dong Energy situation by not publicly addressing it, screw with builds that people have put real $ into. How do they expect this to inspire confidence in people who need to put in another $50 or more this season to boost their players?

A high level RB, WR or QB will have put 3600 flex points into the game. Not fun to find out your player can't perform because of game changes, and you need to put in even more money to fix it.

He should have left higher level leagues to function as they are, and implimented game changes for the new levels only. If they worked, phase them up to the higher levels over time, so players can adjust their builds slowly.

"BETA!" is not an acceptable answer to someone who has put $100s of dollars into the game. Enough people have enough invested that they should be thinking more about retaining customers.

 
Wait, what are you rattling on about? I thought no games have been played with the new sim engine yet...

ETA: Whoops, I see that I'm wrong... I'll have to read up on it.

I take it you were involved with a scrimmage game?
 
it looks like Bort is making some live tweaks... several leagues are at negative time remaining until sim. Probably tweaking the broken tackles? I did see a lot of those.

Though if the increase in pass-rush is true, I'm scared to see how my DE's that got 31 and 22 sacks last year will do.

 
Now I know - Bort didn't install the preseason scrimmage games for our benefit. He did it for his. The changes were so drastic we are currently dealing with a beta of a beta.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread...4972&page=1

Um, I'm making adjustments as you guys type...seriously it's pretty tough to test every single possible combination. All the test sims I've been running recently with test players have been coming out pretty good, but that's only my set of players as opposed to the hundred thousand players on the live site.

This was expected; I imagine I'll have everything ironed out by the end of the day.
Hopefully Bort makes fixes before game 1.
