Come play a free Football MMO/Simulator

[fnordcircle]

I just started playing this game this week and I'm having fun with it. It takes a few minutes a day to monkey around with your guy and you get to watch simulations of plays after the games are done.

How to join:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=476710

Click on that (I get referral points if you do which I can use for in-game benefits for my players)

Sign up. You get points that you can use to make a player. These are called flex points they can be used to buy equipment and level up your player. You get free flex points for joining and for getting other people to sign up under you. You can buy additional flex points if you choose and that is the only means to spend real money in this game. If you choose not to spend any money then so be it it won't matter for a few seasons.

After you create your player my advice is to not spend your flex points on anything but creating 1-2 characters. You can buy 3 levels a season with flex points but getting to L1 and L2 is a lot faster than going from L4 to L5. Wait till you hit level 3 or the last game of the regular sesaon then spend some flex points to level up your dude(s).

Once you sign up post in here with your position and player name and I will submit a contract offer to you to play for the New England Burning Pride. With the money you get in your contract you can set your player to do high intensity training and also buy equipment.

Right now the team is partially stocked with CPU players and with human players as I just bought the team last night and renamed it. So all positions are wide open because I will happily dump random human players I don't know as easily as I will dump CPU players because I'm hardcore.

Right now I have a HB named Sammie Morris on the team so basically any position you want to create a player at is good.

Don't be afraid to make a couple of players, we need human-controlled OL as much as we need WRs and QBs and OL are really cheap to make so you can make one of each.

Feel free to ask any questions in here. Our next game is in like 3 hours.

[juxtapoz15]

Sounds fun... it will be a time killer for me before the draft.

I created a player named Logan Manchild at G. Could you please offer me a contract. I spread out all my points and bought some equipment. Not sure if I should be doing anything else.

[fnordcircle]

Sent you a contract offer, go ahead and accept it. I'm just going to renegotiate with people as their training prices go up in price as they level.

The only things you can do right now are:

Create Player
Distribute Points
Accept the contract offer.
Buy equipment. You should do this.

Once you accept the offer I'll bump you up in the depth chart. Depth charts really don't seem to mean much in this game because it seems like everyone gets a pretty fair share of plays.

[Mix]

I made a guard named Eugene Chung

[juxtapoz15]

I accepted... Should I change my training and tactical settings at this point in time?

[jimmyjames]

Sent you a contract offer but I got to run so you won't get into a game until 2 days from now since games are held every other day. Unless you accept in like 5 minutes or something before I head out.

I accepted... Should I change my training and tactical settings at this point in time?

Yeah, max out your training whenever you can. There's some ambiguity about the play intensity setting so I can't really comment about that one.

Depth charts really don't seem to mean much in this game because it seems like everyone gets a pretty fair share of plays.

This is because you get taken out of the game if your stamina falls below a certain level. If you want a load of game time then my tip is to work solidly on your stamina, mine is now over 22 and i'm in for nearly every defensive play.

I'd like to join the Burning Pride, but i already have a solid team in the Wembley Warriors.

Guard named Ron Pancake, feel free to send me an offer if you're looking for a G.

I sent all of you offers. I'll probably play with starting one of our 3 guards at tackle before next game or you can delete Pancake as a G and make him a T from the outset since I think there's a minor stat hit to playing a player out of position. Both of our existing guards played a ton of snaps last game.

By the way the Burning Pride's first game under new ownership was a win. :cool:

Ok someone who thinks they are seriously going to play this game (by seriously I mean pay attention and actually have fun doing it) post your referral link so I can replace mine in the OP. I can only get 850 referral points a season so it's pointless to have everyone signing up under me.

Don't be afraid to make a couple of players, we need human-controlled OL as much as we need WRs and QBs and OL are really cheap to make so you can make one of each.

What we have for patsfans.com players right now:

QB: 0
HB: 2
FB: 1
T: 1
G: 3
C: 1
WR: 1
TE: 1

DT: 2
DE: 0
LB: 3
FS: 2
SS: 0
CB: 0

K: 0
P: 0

So any position other than G, LB or HB will mean your player is a starter at this point. There are other human players as well as CPU players on the team but I'm going to give preferences to patsfans folks regardless of levels for now.

For now I'm giving everyone 2 year contracts without signing bonuses. Once we start figuring out who is going to be sticking around and playing and who isn't I'm happy to renegotiate contracts with anyone who needs more money to keep training-at least as long as I'm able to before team money becomes an issue.

hey i was reading somewhere that human punters and kickers are WAY better than cpu punters and kickers so I made us a couple.

Punty Mcboot (Punter)
Kicky Mcboot (Kicker)

please make an offer to both.

If anybody else wants to play these positions I will relinquish their starting spots as I already have a LB on the team and don't want to hog multiple positions.

[BradyFTW!]

Since we have two FS, I'd be willing to retire Indestructible Geno Wilson and make a different guy in a position of need (CB or DE?), but it says I need to be released first.

Just made a DE named R.B. Kazenzakis (bonus points to anyone who knows the reference). Do we need DEs?

[Stokes]

I made a DT, Pio Sagapolutele!

So the only way to get the most important currency in the game is to get referrals or pay cash? That's horribly unbalanced. Is there a way to be competitive without spending the money/trolling for converts?

I believe you get some at the end of the season and for random special occasions. Plus you can create 3 accounts per IP address so your "brother" and "friend" can play and if you use your referral link that is a free 100 points right there.

Koz there are already 3 LB from pats fans on the team. Would you have any interest in making a DE or a Center?

[BradyFTW!]

I just made a DE earlier- R.B. Kazenzakis - but I think we'd still need at least one more.

How long does it typically take to level up to 3 or so? I got some flex points, but want to wait until then to use them to level my players up.

[Marius]

Damnit, Fnord!

I was all ready to come over here and introduce the forum and get some sweet sweet referral points.

Oh well.

Ronald "Whats my name?" Reagan (HB) will have to wait a little longer for his Custom item.

The game is fun, although it consumes more time than it should. I find myself checking constantly even though it really only updates once a day.

If anyone feels like being kind, here is my referral link.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=544895

[BradyFTW!]

If we still need a QB, I would like to formally request that someone make Ron Mexico.

Any other teams out there with Pats fans that need a lvl 2 LB. if so look me up, Krazy Koz

Owend.

Right now yeah, because if you haven't blown all of your flex points you can level up the max of 3 levels a season with flex points if you've got enough. Next season will be different, though, because yeah there will start to be a divide between people who are willing to drop $10 a month on the game and those who won't.

It sucks but it's a business ya know?

Since we have two FS, I'd be willing to retire Indestructible Geno Wilson and make a different guy in a position of need (CB or DE?), but it says I need to be released first.

Just made a DE named R.B. Kazenzakis (bonus points to anyone who knows the reference). Do we need DEs?

Looks like you're on a human team with that character. :( I can only try to trade for him. I released Geno. If you want to make a CB that would help we've only got one patsfans.com player who is a CB.

I believe I've sent offers to everyone here except Krazy Koz since we've already got 3 LBs and it forces you to play a 4-3. I think in the long run having an extra LB doesn't mean any less plays for anyone because stamina plays into things and your guy takes a number of plays off regardless. I'd be happy to give you an invite and release you later if you aren't getting enough plays.

[Tyler.Durden]

Deal me in

Mosi Tatupu (RB)

[BradyFTW!]

Just requested that the human who bought R.B. Kazenzakis' team release him. Will be making a CB momentarily instead though.

Edit: Made a CB and named him Pietro Maximoff

[fnordcircle]

Sent offers to both you dudes.

[fnordcircle]

Here's what we currently have on the team for patsfans.com players though I'm including people who have had offers made but haven't responded.

I'll go through and set the depth chart before the game tomorrow to make sure we get you all starting.

QB: 0
HB: 2
FB: 1
T: 1
G: 3
C: 1
WR: 1
TE: 1

DT: 2
DE: 0
LB: 3
FS: 1
SS: 1
CB: 2

K: 1
P: 1

Right now we need:

1x QB
2x DE
1x T
2x WR

Once that happens we'll have a team of entirely people from this board starting. :cool:

[BradyFTW!]

BTW: what particular style are you looking to play? Knowing that, we could build out our players according to a cohesive gameplan.

[fnordcircle]

BTW: what particular style are you looking to play? Knowing that, we could build out our players according to a cohesive gameplan.

Right now I'm at 55% run, 35% blitz. I'm probably just going to adjust the gameplan as we go along because some people are going to get addicted and put a lot into it and some people won't play beyond creating a character. I want to reward the former category. So I'd rather people build the player they want and if we aren't getting enough sacks blitz more or what have you.

Good coaches don't try to force a Jonathan Vilma to play a 3-4.

I really need a second player because waiting 2 days between games is killing me :)

Any suggestions? Should I buy a league?

Offer accepted. Looks like we got our center and DEs created - are there any more positions we need to fill? The starters are all set.

[Krazy Koz]

I started a new team. PM me if interested in joining.

[Stokes]

I accepted the contract offer for NT Pio Sagapolutele, I am focusing on making him a run stopping DT, increasing tackling, strength, and stamina before anything else.

[khayos]

Bought the Minsk team, which I promptly renamed to the "Minsk Koats"

<a href="http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=353">http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=353</a>

Let me know if you want to be a starter; ROLB Rip Snarl is mine :)

[cavtroop]

Hey, the Burning Pride won the game tonight! LOL, this is too much fun!

3 tackles, and an INT for 11 yards for my guy :)

[DaBruinz]

FB JJ Paulin led all rushers on the Pride with a 4.4 YPC with his 6 rushes for 26.5 YDs and a TD. The only down note was the failed screen where he was tackled for a 1 yards loss.

[apple strudel]

So, how do I get into the line-up? A CPU tight end got 10 plays and mine got 0. I'm all for the team, but I'm looking for the "kneecap Graham Bradford" link right about now. :)

[Stokes]

Do I need to do anything to get Pio Sagapolutele some playing time? Not sure how it works, I don't think he played tonight.

[DaBruinz]

For guys to get playing time, they have to be on the active roster part of the depth chart.

Neither Benjamin Walter nor Pio S'tele were on the active roster for the game.... *TSK* *TSK* Fnord...


P.S. I also have a team in the Canadian Pro League there...

[fnordcircle]

Blech! Really, really sorry for the people I missed. I got caught out in town and didn't make it back to adjust the starting rosters. :( Sorry!

Everyone who has signed up and is interested check to make sure you are in the starting lineups.

[PatsFanInVa]

Dirk Hammer, Linebacker, THE OhellIdunno State University, has signed with the Utah Preachers -- but I understand you're permitted to lure him away.

Note: Dirk Hammer probably is the only LB in this league custom-equipped with The Smelly Jock of Death. So if the roster spot's there, talk to his agent. Unless it's tampering with the CPU-owned team, in which case I have no doubt that Goodellbot will fine you and dock you a draft pick.

[patsfan_1281]

QB: Tom Brady Jr.

[fnordcircle]

Ok I got through my inbox, I believe I have signed or offered contracts to everyone in this thread and almost all of our starting positions are currently manned by people from patsfans.com, which was the goal.

If Dirk Hammer accepts his offer and we get one more CB (I think Maximoff is a non-patsfans.com player) and our two Tommy Bradys accept theirs as well we'll have an entire starting roster setup with all Patsfans.com players. Looks like stamina should be a training focus for people though because I don't think a lot of our guys are going to play every game due to energy issues.

Also: People who aren't from patsfans.com get ******* PISSED at me for starting your level 1 guys over their level 5 guys. My inbox was pretty funny. :D

Check the depth chart and if your guy isn't listed post a message here.

[fnordcircle]

Also - some of you guys should be close to levelling up, lemme know if you can't afford the highest intensity training. Tobias Funke especially since you're L5 now I'm guessing training is way more expensive than the puny offer I start you guys out at.

I'd like to keep all of you with enough money to at least do high intensity training plus a signing bonus at L8 so you can get some better items. So post here if you need a bump.

[tobias funke]

Yea I'm pulling in 575 a day, highest training costs ~$1000.

I'll make you an offer if I can and if you're interested you can accept.

We really need another CB. Today's our first game with a patsfans.com player at QB so it should be...interesting.

Woo, big win for the Burning Pride, and 3 tackles and a hurry for big Pio Sagapolutele, leading all DTs!

[BradyFTW!]

Damn, our defense is shaping up to be pretty dominant, it looks like. Less than 7 PPG since you took over.

4 tackles and 2 passes defensed for Maximoff (I'm spending a lot of his points in the shutdown corner skill tree, which appears to be working out well), while Tank didn't really do anything, but did level up at least.

When do you guys think I should use flex points to artificially level them up? Keep waiting?

I dunno, I have friends on another team and they are still getting decent XP on off days after having leveled up to 5 or 6 so I think I'm going to level up all my guys tonight with flex points because we can use it. There doesn't seem to be much of a difference in XP accumulation at this point.

Maybe you can talk him into releasing you so you can retire your player. The situation right now is a little screwed up, I think. Obviously they want to stop people from team jumping but it is ridiculous.

For Burning Pride players -

In 4 days (2nd game from now) we play the Melbourne team with whom we are currently tied at 8-1 with but they beat us in tie breakers.

If anyone has been holding back on spending flex points to level up your character I'd advise you to do it now and dump a few points into stamina at least so you can be ready to play those hosers.

Just leveled Think Tank and Pietro Maximoff up to 5 with flex points. Tank has 2 points put into D-Line general, which boosts the entire D-Line's stamina and morale if he's playing NT. Your call on if you want to move him over to there, but it would help the stamina issue.

if your defense requires an upcoming CB and SS, send some invites to College Cason (CB) and to Brandon Weather (SS)

Thanks, this is good stuff to go on. Lemme know how much you need per day on each guy to do max training and I will send you a new contract.

Moving Tank over to NT.

if your defense requires an upcoming CB and SS, send some invites to College Cason (CB) and to Brandon Weather (SS)

I think at this point even if you aren't starting you're going to get a large number of plays. My HB on another team is 3rd string but still gets a nearly equal number of plays as the top two guys.

So I'm sending you an offer for each. :)

[fnordcircle]

Anyone still looking to join the Pride we need like 2 more WRs, we only have 1 patsfan.com player at WR.

Could always use more LBs and DE's as well.

[fnordcircle]

Also, someone who really likes this game and intends to play it for at least a few months PM me because I want to make someone else a GM in case I am not able to adjust stuff before gametime.

[BradyFTW!]

Training is $1k per day for each of them at high intensity- I have them on normal right now to recoup their energy for the upcoming game

[BradyFTW!]

The upcoming team has level 1 WRs and CBs, and a scrambling QB. We should be able to dominate them on both sides of the passing game, but their ground attack looks pretty good. I've been speccing Tank up as a run-stopper, and this should be a good test for the whole DL.

[cavtroop]

This is too much fun. Cav Trooper led the team last game with 9 tackles, 1 for loss.

Finally hit L3! Go BP!

Training is getting expensive, though - making 293/day, 600 for the upper training. Being a GM/Owner is going to be interesting. I'm seeing alot of people (not on our team, but others) way overpaying for people, or not releasing them, but burying them on the depth chart. I think all that wasted money will come back to bite them in the long run. Kinda like the Jets :)

[primetime]

I think that we're going to have a situation where a lot of CPU players end up playing anyways because of stamina issues so I don't think the starting lineup is going to be the be-all, end all.

I'll make you an offer if I can and if you're interested you can accept.

We really need another CB. Today's our first game with a patsfans.com player at QB so it should be...interesting.

Never got the offer. I'm wasting away on this CPU team, haha.

[Zuma]

Offer make me. I play good see.

Stamina. XP is given on a per-play basis, not how well you played. With more stamina, you'll be in the game more, and get more XP.

All of my equipment is stamina, and I got 50 plays last game - in the top 5 for # of snaps on the team.

Good idea, thanks. I played 64 snaps last game but it took my energy from 100% down to 82%.

I'm stuck playing for the Brooklyn Maulers, just played my first game.... as a second string LB. Key-rist. Did get a huge momentum-changing interception however. Guess I'm a role-player.

[tjones7]

I don't think i will get released by anyone, when i asked my last owner he simply traded me to the Karachi Bears in the Southeast Asia league. I think he was mad that i was asking for a trade/release or more money, the only reason i signed with that team was that it was cpu owned then he bought it 10 minutes after i signed

Yeah, I used flex points to buy +6 Stamina custom equipment for both of my guys. Definitely recommended.

[PatsFanInVa]

How many new flex points do you get when you hit L2? Got 666 out of 1000 XP needed in first game playing time... so, what's the payoff?

Also, what can you buy with your hard earned cash, other than training, if you're out of flex points?

I'm pretty sure you don't get flex points for leveling- you have to refer people, pay cash, or get them at the end of the season or other special occasions. At L2 you get 5 skill points to distribute though, so that's cool.

[tobias funke]

I'm turning into a pretty good strong safety. Also I didn't realize I had to actually equip my gear. That might help a little.

[BradyFTW!]

Damn, has anyone looked ahead to the Melbourne Koalas? That team is just viciously good. Our max levels are 3 6s and a couple of 5s. These guys have Adam Vinatieri at level 10 kicking and punting, a level-8 average on their OL, and more. They're stacked.

Hey, that's my spot.

[PatsFanInVa]

Well, I caved and bought me some flex points (since everybody here has already pumped up the locals' accounts.)

I figger I will get to L3 (just L1 right now,) and then lev myself up the oldfashioned way... BUY the levels.

So here's the plan: I get to L 3 (I'm a linebacker, btw...)

Then you trade for me.

Then I level up.

[BradyFTW!]

Better to get traded for before you level up. THe higher level you are, the more your owner will want for you. Unless your team is CPU owned, then you can have a contract offered at any time, and it won't really matter.

[BradyFTW!]

Also, everyone jack up your stamina as much as possible. More plays = more experience = faster leveling = better starting lineup. My guys have 26 and 28 at the moment.

I'm also hearing that vision is great for guys in the secondary- helps you avoid fakes and jukes, and get early reads on plays and jumps on balls. So far Pietro has 18 vision and 2 points in the superior vision skill. Also loading him up with smooth operator and shutdown corner skills, which make him good at matching up man-to-man with good WRs.

[PatsFanInVa]

Uh, that's what I said. I get to level 3, the Pride trades for me, I add 3 additional lev.s through flex points...

Linebacker. Think about what you need, and get back to me, NE.

[BradyFTW!]

My bad, I misread your post. We have a computer player at LOLB, and last I checked fnord was looking for some Patsfan linebackers.

dang, lots of guys must have bought the flex points, otherwise no way you can afford such equipment....im about to cave in too, LOL :D

I'm not going to be able to pull off a trade for you your owner knows I want you and keeps trying to get other patsfans.com players off of me. My advice is to just make a new LB and not join a team if you want to play on the Patsfans.com team. Sorry bro. v:ov

I wonder if setting my playing intensity to "normal" instead of "hard" will help keep my player more rested and thus able to gain more experience. And then once he is strong enough to be able to play the whole game at high intensity, I can raise it back.

[PatsFanInVa]

Nah, thanks, Fnord, but as of right now I'd rather stop stirring the whole trade pot. It is what it is, and the guy would probably finger the new GM as a friend of yours, particularly if there is a NE tie-in in the team name.

For right now, I'll just play out the string in Brooklyn.

Probably would work that way, since exp is gained on a per-play basis. Hadn't thought of that, I'll try it too. If it helps both of my guys get leveled up to 6 before the next game, it'll be worth it, especially since the matchup makes it look like we should steamroll these guys.

[OnTheHeights]

Pick six, baby.

[BradyFTW!]

23-0 victory! Damn, we crushed them. Once again, Tank's impact is marginal. 1 tackle this time, but I'm going to claim that he's taking up a lot of blockers or something ;P. At least his tackle was for a loss. Maximoff had 3 PDs too, and will level up in his off day before the melbourne game, so that's good.

[A.C Vegas]

68 plays is that a good number of plays.

I'm not sure whether it was Tank or out other DT but there was one play where he litterally took up 3 blockers haha.

yes

lastly, for our upcoming game against Melbourne everybody set your play intensity to HIGH, and if you've been holding out on leveling up with flex now's the time to do it. We are definitely the underdogs in this next matchup.

[Stokes]

I'm not sure whether it was Tank or out other DT but there was one play where he litterally took up 3 blockers haha.



Was it my guy Pio Sagapolutele? He stepped in there for 5 tackles (2 for loss) today. Pio is kickin some serious ass down in the trenches! I have him focused on run stopping. How can you find out something like what you posted here, or were you just joking around?

edit: Forget it, just found the play-by-play thing. Cool!

[tobias funke]

5 tackles and another deflected pass. I can't wait until I level, gonna put some points into specials finally. Think I'm going to work the coverage line because it seems more effective than 'big hits'.

[patsfan_1281]

you get skill points when you level up right?

Aha, ok, that explains it. Tank was doubled all game. Wanted to make sure that I wasn't leveling him wrong, but I can live with low output resulting from doubleteaming.

[fnordcircle]

Unless you are going to hit a new stat level in the next 2 days from high intensity training I'd set your training level to either normal or relaxed so we can be as close to 100% rested for the Melbourne game as possible.

I'm going to change up the defense before the game plus we've got 3 new GMs right now because there's nothing that makes for a better kitchen than many chefs, right?

But yeah if you guys haven't spent your flex points to level up 3 times yet and intend to do so now is the time!

Also a non-patsfans.com pats fan IM'ed me and wants to join the team. He's a welker fan and he's so cute! I'm gonna trade some non-patsfans.com person for him >_<

[BradyFTW!]

[BradyFTW!]

Don't feel too bad- I dropped some cash too. Gotta keep both of my guys leveled up and in the best gear, and if that's what it takes then that's what it takes :P

BTW- Does anyone know exactly how off-day experience is accrued? Is it based on training intensity? And, if so, what's the breakdown? Tank is 380 exp from leveling, and has 68 energy. I assume that, no matter what I do, he's not going to level up before the game, so I've set his training down to relaxed so he can go into the game at full intensity with 100 energy. If it's possible to get him leveled up before the game, though, then I'd rather go that route. I'm a little worried that Pietro is pulling considerably ahead of Tank in exp (he leveled up yesterday), even though tank has more STA, but that's probably just because we have more DL depth than CB, and DTs lose energy faster than CBs do.

[Gon_Trevil]

I got 5 skill points for leveling from 1 to 2. Will I get more than that all subsequent times I level, or is it always 5? Or is the formula a bit more complicated than that?

[VJCPatriot]

Oh yeah question. What does play intensity do? I can set it to relaxed, normal, or intense. I just have mine at normal right now.
I only have 100 flex points, so I could level up once or make another player, maybe a lineman?

The first question is a team need basis, but generally every team could use a OT
The most important stats are probably strength, blocking and stamina
THere are no longer any computer controlled teams, they have all been bought
You gain experience based on how many plays you are on the field for, how much money you earn per game is based on the contract you sign, you can see the amt. in the stats screen
Yes there is a Patsfan team, the New England Burning Pride i think, i'm not on the team, fnordcircle could give you more info on their team.

[VJCPatriot]

Ok, this last one may sound weird... but how do you determine how big your player will be? Is it based on the stats somehow? My wide receiver is 6'2 which is a decent size but my OT is only 6'2. Does height help linemen? How do I make a taller one? My lineman's name is Roadkill. LOL.

Your height and weight are random to the point where they fall within a certain range, you wont ever get a OT that weighs 230 lbs and you wont get a QB that weighs 300. Height apparently does make some impact but it isnt generally associated with OL, it makes an impact with QB, WR, TE, DL, LB, and DB

I sent them contract offers just now. Don't think I have the authority to cut anyone though, so that'll have to wait for now. In the meantime, what's your referral link? I'll set up an account under your referral to get you some flex points to level AD Train up.

That's pretty much right on. Anyone that needs an invite, just post your player name, and either fnord or one of the GMs will send you a contract offer. The general policy that we've established is to send a pretty baseline offer at first, and if you show signs of leveling up and sticking around, we'll renegotiate pretty quickly.
It's a shame that all of the teams have been bought- I was enjoying the little exploit where you could sign with a CPU team, take the signing bonus, and then immediately get bought out by a human player. Oh well.

Also, if we're realistically going to win this next game, we need everyone to be leveled up pretty well. You're allowed three flex point levels per season, and anyone who hasn't used their flex points for this purpose should now. If you don't have enough flex points to do this, then either buy some or post your referral link here so we can make some dummy accounts off of them and get you some points.

Also, as you level up your character, here's a note from personal experience: Stats and football skills should come before special abilities. I loaded up on the abilities early, only to find out that they really don't do much if your raw skills aren't up there yet. The best move is probably to focus on your core skills (WR: stamina, speed, catching, agility, or something like that) and your secondary (WR: jumping, vision?) and hold off on the ability trees until level 8+

[tobias funke]

Yep, agreed on the skills. Our man in blue has been making a decent impact in the beginning, because I haven't put a single point into specials. Specials are reliant on your core skills to be effective, so it's smart to avoid them until you have both built up your points and learned enough about the game and the way your team plays it to pick the right specials.

Yaay my receiver Marshall Moss got a contract offer and I am now with Cap Cod Jagged Shoals.
Now I need kind people from my team or from here to create accounts using my link so I can level up with flex points. Pretty please! Oh pm me your original link as well so i can also pump up your flex points. OK?
http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=3159840

Oh one more question on training and intensity.
The options are
Relaxed $10/day +15 en.
Normal $75/day +9 en.
Intense $200/day +3 en.

I assume I should pick intense at the start? What's the difference? Do you get stats faster by going intense?

Also tactical settings for play intensity has:
Hard
Normal
Relaxed

Should I pick hard or what? I've currently got it on normal.

anyone that wants to use it to create a second/third user, and get me some flex points, it would be appreciated!

[The Hurricane]

I sent them contract offers just now. Don't think I have the authority to cut anyone though, so that'll have to wait for now. In the meantime, what's your referral link? I'll set up an account under your referral to get you some flex points to level AD Train up.


thanks a lot for the help.

everybody is welcome to use it ;). In fact, I encourage it if you guys want our kickers to be any good.

Fair warning to people reading this thread (man it is a shame I cannot update the OP) if you create a player and join a team you won't be able to join the patsfans.com team unless I trade for you and I'm running out of non patsfans.com player characters to trade.

With 4 GMs including myself you should just be able to post here in this thread and get signed to a new contract on this team.

Yeah, start at intense if you have been signed by a team, otherwise normal is preferable. There are slight stat boosts for training at higher intensity, like at lv. 5 a linebacker's speed has these boosts: relaxed gives me a boost of .38 per day, normal .41 per day and intense gives me a .44 per day boost.

As far as tactical settings I would suggest asking your owner and then go into advanced settings where you can change each individually according to how the owner wants to run the team.

[BradyFTW!]

Anyone who's creating a guy, don't sign with a team. There aren't any CPU teams left. Just post your character name here and you should have a contract offer from the New England Burning Pride before you know it. If you're on a team, then you'll likely need to find a way to get yourself released.

[fnordcircle]

Big game today guys, lead in our division is up for grabs. Anyone who hasn't logged in to level up your dudes please do so. Anyone who has flex points they want to spend to level up, today is the day to do so.

Also check the depth chart to make sure your guy is somewhere on the chart.

[BradyFTW!]

Today's matchup with the Melbourne Koalas

We're equal in rushing and superior in rush defense. In everything else, they're better. Let's hope for a low-scoring, ball-control affair.

Also, I'm thinking that I might set Pietro to play aggressive man coverage, since we're likely going to need to win the turnover battle to have a real shot at this. That sound like a good idea?

[tjones7]

Has anyone from this site sent me a trade offer?
My owner says he has recieved several but would not elaborate as to which team.

[tobias funke]

We Won!

We Won!

[BradyFTW!]

Hell yeah! We win 19-0!

Hahaha, about time Tank had a breakout game. 5 tackles, 3 for a loss. Maximoff held his own pretty well too.

[VJCPatriot]

Ok I made a new wide receiver named Stanley Steamer. Some of you out there will get the football reference!! So sign me up to a contract for the Patsfan team! :)

Ruh roh, I need 300 flex points per level boost!! Thx ahead of time for any referral boost! :)

Here's my referral link:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=3267948

[PatFan1932]

Just made you an offer stanley

[cavtroop]

Nice win! Slow day for Cav Trooper, with only 1 tackle, but the D pitched a shutout, so I'm happy!

Edit: and a fumble recovery ,cant forget that!

[The Hurricane]

We not only shut them out, they also only had 3 first downs the WHOLE GAME.

AD train had 6 tackles which is solid. I'm not proud of the 2 missed tackles but I had him set to big hits so I'm not too surprised.

Kicky McBoot had a perfect day. 4/4 field goals and 1/1 extra points. I'm making sure to put a lot of points into "Automatic" which increases his accuracy on short kicks. I think a guaranteed 3 points when we get in close field goal range is a good asset to have.

[VJCPatriot]

Just made you an offer stanley

Ok Cool. Steamer signed the contract! Now he just needs to build up some flex points so he can level up before the next game. BTW good win team! Hehe.

[A.C Vegas]

i got benched that sucks LOL

[Stokes]

Yeah big D! Slow day for Pio, I'm going to go ahead and say he was taking up double and triple teams all day, freeing up Tank for the big hits. (No need to confirm/deny this by looking at the play by play!)

[BradyFTW!]

Hahaha, someone's got to be taking up the blockers. If Tank and AD Train go out and get a combined 11 tackles, it's a safe bet that other guys were keeping the blockers off of them. Same reason why Wilfork doesn't get a ton of tackles ;)

[tjones7]

You guys may have some competition for a Pats team

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=419

Honestly I think this guy may have gone a little too far, but who the he!! am i to tell him how to spend his money

[fnordcircle]

Woooo, we won, I love you guys! Top of the division. :cool:

That's just weak. If you're gonna do it, do it right. That means that Billy Yates cannot be a 'top threat', and Moss, Welker, Harrison and AD sorta have to be on the team (and Maroney). That's just weak. Not to mention that the team has $110,000 left to spend.

BTW- we might want to think about trading George Jetson for a Patsfan. The dude hasn't logged on in over a week, we might be able to pull a quick one over on some owner. Might not be a bad idea to cut 2 of our level 7 CPU defensive linemen either- we have 4 of them and they're all pulling in $33,000. We could save some money that way. Same with Aron Nieto.

[ALP]

^^^someone is really getting into this eh?

[ALP]

btw, for SS, i dont know if the one that is second on the depth chart is from here or active, if not, could one of hte gm's move brandon up to the number 2 slot? hes not getting much exp right now

also, how do u level up using flex points?

[Stokes]

We're even getting a little press on the site's forum:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=18340&page=2

"Battle for first in the Alpha Conference today... Melbourne vs New England, surprised no one is talking about it "

"Melbourne got beat down."

Also Tobias Funke was all over the place today!

[tobias funke]

He's turning into a real Rodney... forced his first fumble today.

One thing I noticed is that the other team's guys all played a ton of plays... maybe we tired them out with our depth? I can't wait to go over some of the play by play.

[tobias funke]

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=637693

hahahah way to sniff that **** out

[fnordcircle]

Oh...by the way looks like those gameplan changes I made worked. :D

Yeah I'm that sort of owner, the one who takes all the credit when things go well.

[Wildo7]

So I found this game from another site, and created a LB and after getting picked up by some team who offered me the best contract I proceeded to spend all my points on speed strength agility and tackling. What now? I've never played this kind of game before and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

[BradyFTW!]

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=637693

hahahah way to sniff that **** out

Hahahaha, yeah, that poor running back couldn't get any relief anywhere, not even from the CBs:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=637617

Pio had a tackle for a loss on the guy too, and all of Tank's TFLs were on him.


I think there is something to the depth argument. One thing that I've noticed is that playing DL saps a lot more energy than CB, which makes sense. Pietro played over 50 snaps on high intensity and ended the day with 70+ energy. Tank played 38 snaps on medium intensity and ended up with just over 50% energy. It makes sense then that it would help that we had 8 DL guys play 30 or more snaps (2 full rotations basically), while they only go 5 deep. Just in general though, the fact that 3 of their defenders played 109 snaps is pretty alarming, since only 5 of our guys went over 50 and none got to 60. Looks like we beat them Belichick-style today. Everyone on the roster was ready to go, and we wore them out with depth.
We rushed more than they did, though, so we probably wore them down even worse. Plus, while we split carries between Maroney/Tatupu/Paulin/Slade (18/10/6/5), Peterson accounted for 23 of their 25 rushes.

[apple strudel]

Finally my first receptions! I'm about 1 game away from level 3, but a long ways away from Smug Deed, the starting TE. When I built the TE I focused on strength and blocking, and I'm starting to balance him with receiving abilities that should come in handy considering that he's 6.5" tall.

I haven't been following too much about overall strategy, but is there something specific that the team (NE Pride) wants from its backup tight end?

[Gon_Trevil]

Chris Slay told me his salary is a slap in the face. I need a huge raise for my boy. Gotta feed the family.


Ok, really, I can't afford intense daily training at lv 3 ($600 a day while my salary is $296) and I'm set to hit lv 4 after next game (no idea how much training will cost then). Anyway, it'd be nice if I could have my salary adjusted to whatever a lv4 needs for intense training.


Consider it money well spent if my guy is gonna force a fumble every game :rocker:

[tobias funke]

Relaxed = 10 * lvl
Normal = 75 * lvl
Intense = 200 * lvl

[Gon_Trevil]

Ugh, I can't even buy gloves without sacrificing my training for the day... and that's with training on normal instead of intense. I need some cash homey!

[LuthierJr]

I own a team in the Oceania AAA alpha conference. And Pats Fans looking for refuge and a place to play PM me once you've created your player and we will hook up! My username there is LuthierJr as well.

[fnordcircle]

Anyone on the Pride who needs a new contract post in here how much you need per day to train at Intense.

Just a note - you probably don't want to train at intense everyday unless you can do that and still have like > 90 energy otherwise you're sacrificing plays on gameday which is better XP.

[Gon_Trevil]

Just noticed some of our guys are hiding their attributes. That's so... lame. And ghey.

[tobias funke]

Yeah I don't understand hiding attributes. What's the point? So no one can see your leet point setups? lol

Negotiating contracts during the stretch drive of the season is not the Patriots way!

What I've started doing is switching between intense training to up my skills and relaxed to get back energy, on the relaxed days you save up the $ for the intense days (or maybe you can just keep it at normal intensity, I haven't looked at which way costs less/gains more energy/skills). Unfortunately right now Pio's stuck in relaxed mode, he needs the energy back in time for the next game more than he needs the attribute boost.

Oh and only 1 tackle for Pio, but he did actually bust through a double team to get it (and for a loss no less). (Hey, us D lineman gotta take our glory where we can get it.)

[GostkowSKI]

I could use a new contract (Ronald Pancake). I'm taking in $284 per day and @ Level 3 it's costing me $200 a day just to train on normal.

I made us a dedicated kick returner, his name is Mrs. Pacman Jones and he's a cornerback (made mostly for returning though, I'm not gonna up his CB skills too much)

I need $800/day for intense, at level 4. not a HUGE deal, as I swap intense with normal, to keep my stamina up.

Thanks!

[BradyFTW!]

Ok- sent renegotiated contract offers to Slay, Pancake, Pio, and CavTroop. Did I miss anyone? All for enough that you'll be able to alternate normal/intense for at least the next couple of levels.

Pio: Yeah, I know where you're coming from. Tank keeps coming out of games with about 50 energy and that's despite having 30 stamina, so I need to put him on relaxed just to get my energy back between games. Especially annoying since Pietro can play more snaps at a higher intensity and only lose half as much energy.


Edit: Sent an offer to Mrs. Pacman Jones too.

Hahaha yeah we do. Taking on blockers just isn't that sexy.

BTW: Anyone know if we're ever going to be able to buy gear with more than +1 to stats?

[tobias funke]

At level 8 you can upgrade your gear and also get a custom item that adds 1 point to each skill in the special tree of your choice.

[BradyFTW!]

So I found this game from another site, and created a LB and after getting picked up by some team who offered me the best contract I proceeded to spend all my points on speed strength agility and tackling. What now? I've never played this kind of game before and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

Is there any chance, you think, that you can get your owner to release you? If so, we can pick you up. Basically, it sounds like you're doing it right. If you got a signing bonus, try to buy some gear with it, and once you hit level 2 you can use your flex points to jump your guy up to 5.


Also, I highly recommend that everyone in the secondary pump points into vision and superior vision. I noticed in the last game that both Tobias and Pietro have a lot of points in both, and both were reading and reacting really well and taking down the RB in the backfield on clear running plays.

I'll send Cason an updated contract.

Everyone on the Pride check the depth chart today before the game to make sure that you are listed in the depth chart. Post in here if you aren't.

We really need another DE if anyone is thinking about making a player. Right now we're playing a DT at DE and he's been at L2 for a while now, pretty sure his player has taken a powder, but even if he hasn't we still want to play a DE at well...DE.
