WTF?

I've been 'training' on 'none' for two days, supposedly to get 18 stamina back a day - just checked in for the first time in a bit, and I DIDN"T RECOVER ANY STAMINA over the last two days! I'm going into tonights game at 68!

WTF? Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: nevermind. I happened to check the site at 6:30 tonight, and some of the games have been simmed, ours included. Looks like we won! My stats on my player homepage aren't updated yet, but they are in the game status page.

Yep, we won.

I haven't looked at much yet, but at first glance I'd say the FS/SS switch worked. Brandon Weather picked up an INT and I got 3 tackles and didn't miss any.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Nice game, guys. Great defense.

 

[tobias funke]

Looks like it came down to who was able to actually punch it in for a TD.

We managed to do it, and hold them to nothing but 3 field goals.

 

[fnordcircle]

Man teams really seem to be selling out against us to stop the run. I went with a 50/50 run/pass ratio and a 50/50 run inside/outside ratio.

Some great catches by our WRs and most of all great defense that kept them out of the endzone. I upped the TE pass % for this game not sure if that helped or hurt.

A playoff win is a playoff win! Rather win ugly than go home pretty.

Who do we want in the next round? I can't tell anything about their playoff seedings, to be honest.

I'm really enjoying these plays, on a personal level: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=4741194 http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=4741526

AD Train's safety was pretty sick, too.

Looks like we get the Bandits next.

 

[tobias funke]

Defensive MVP definitely goes to Chris Slay. 7 tackles (2 for a loss), and 3 PDs. One of his tackles for a loss set up AD Train for a safety on the next play.

Major props to Brandon Weather for Rodney Harrison'ing them at the end.

The secondary combined for 18 deflected passes.

That is something nasty.

Pietro also did real well subbing in at KR, which I basically define as hitting the average and not fumbling.

 

[tobias funke]

I also can't get over the 'top performers'. It is so us. Two WRs with 80 yards and no TDs. A QB with 266 yards and no TDs. And a HB with 40 yards and a TD.

Yeah, I pretty much went into it with the mindset of "as long as I don't fumble, it's all good", so it worked out. Even better, Barkley's at 72 energy now, so all he has to do is train on relaxed and he'll make it back to 100 for the next game. Pietro's also going to level up tonight, so that's a bonus.

I also like how, on the first play that I linked, Tobias ran directly over their TE on his way to the ball.

Hahaha, yeah, that does pretty much sum us up.

Have you seen how fast I start moving in the direction the ball is going to go before it actually goes there?

It is way more responsive than when I am slotted at FS. I am enjoying that.

Newcastle lost to Fiji, which means that, if we manage to beat the Bandits, and Fiji goes and beats Canberra, we can conceivably have home field again.

Also, I just put Vernon back in as KR/PR, and put Pietro back in on ST. Anyone want on or off the kickoff/punt squad? I assume Tobias probably does, since you've got some energy issues atm.

 

[VJCPatriot]

As I expected, this was a tough win. 15-9. But a win is a win is a win.
Defense did great and thanks to the depth of our receiving corps we were able to move the ball pretty well through the air. Good all around team win. So who's up next?

 

[tobias funke]

Yeah maybe it's for the best this time around. I don't mind doing 18/18 but if it goes any lower I won't make it back and that will be bad.

in the alpha conference the winners were

seed 1 = bandits
seed 2 = strike
seed 4 = US
seed 6 = Fiji

therefore, unless i am mistaken, we play the strike in round two, and fiji and bandits paly each other...

if we win, and fiji wins, then we have a home playoff game

right?

No, they don't reseed between rounds. The initial tree was made up at the beginning of the playoffs, and they're not deviating from it. We have the bandits, then the canberra/fiji winner (home if it's Fiji), then the zeta winner (not sure if this game would be on a neutral site, but if not we do have a better record than anyone in zeta).

yup, saw that after i posted...nice work

 

[fnordcircle]

Apparently there have been some pathfinding changes when carrying the ball....

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=4354261

And these are just crazy plays.

It'll be interesting to see if pathfinding means that vision will start meaning more for backs and returners.

 

[ALP]

what the hell are those?

so now defense doesnt even matter in the game?

u cant have 5 guys missing tackles on one play....thats cheap if plays lilke that start happening in abundance
