New GM-ONLY (No Game Planning) MP League - TWO OPENINGS ON THE GROUND FLOOR
I've thrown this idea around a few times in the past, but it seems to have gained some momentum lately, so I thought I'd post it to the larger forum here.
The idea is a multiplayer league where the AI controls the game planning. In essence, you are a "true" general manager - you leave how the game is played to the coach you hire. That's the main idea. A lot of FOF fans love the roster building aspect of the game, but aren't strong at the game planning stage, so MP leagues are not stacked in their favor. Perhaps this will level the playing field. There is still a lot to be decided, a commish needs to be found, etcetera, but I think it's an idea worth exploring. The discussion of the league has been going on here: New MP League Idea (GM Only) - Front Office Football Central A quick summary of the ideas so far, though nothing is set in stone: WR nerfed league Significant cap crunch Elevated injuries (keeps it more interesting during the season) If you are interested, have thoughts on why or why it wont work, want to run the league, etc, stop by the thread and let us know. Or just talk here, too, I guess. (and yes, i see the irony posting a no game planning league on the same day jim launches his kickstarter for a game that is entirely about game planning) Last edited by Pyser : 01-03-2013 at 12:22 PM. |

I'll take the Cowboys
Rules Suggestion: 1. Nerf QB/WR 2. Lets use Cap Reduction like in BFL and CMFL Leagues 3. 4 game sims a week 4. Real or Fictional players is fine with me. 5. 25 round draft and then have the game pick the remaining. 6. Use the anti-tanking rule. 7. No trading 1st round picks (we can talk about this) Guys add your 2 cents. Last edited by claystone : 01-03-2013 at 09:28 PM. |

A team has come open. First one to claim them can have Detroit:
GML: Detroit Lions Roster They're #6 in Roster Rating by my code, if that matters. It's a great time to jump in. The first preseason starts Monday of next week. Right now it's trading/roster-shaping time via multiple midweeks, the first of which is due tomorrow morning.
