how am i a "greedy red flag TO" just for wanting to start? what player in the pro leagues is content to be on the bench? when i go to the trouble of asking off my old team and pass up other offers to be a starter on other team to play on macro's team and find out i won't be starting, who would be happy with that? and for the record, when he was notified i accepted the offer his words were "yeah, i put HA as the #4 CB". he didn't say "welcome, HA, i put you as the #4 CB for now, but give me a week or two to get rid of the players i already have and i'll be sure to make you a starter." that i can relate to, not what was essentially "i see he accepted the offer, i put him on the bench". miscommunication from the owner's end is not a reason to fault the player.

[JPhillips]

But the way you handled it was completely out of line. Like I said, Macro is a reasonable guy and he let you go as there was an obvious miscommunication. That would have happened if you had PMed him and tried to sort things out rationally.

first Gator game in the books

Spoiler

w00t! Late touchdown gives us the 14-9 victory. Was on the field for 79 plays, and we held them to 65 yards rushing for the game.

[larrymcg421]

Since when does being in the porn business not make a guy awesome? HA, I think you're on the wrong message board to be making that argument.

[kid_dynamite]

hey guys,

I just started as a SS on this and looking for a team if anyone can help me out....

ROFL at the guy calling me a farce for working in the porn industry when it's something public here and that i have openly talked about, how is that a farce then? Even worse is to talk about bad moral and porn when you admitted thousands of times to be a porn consumer and even asked me for details as you admired my job and saw me like a hero and it being your dream (remember your own forum way back?). Is porn bad now? who is the hypocrite now? I have been always 100% straight. Btw thanks for caring about my life and children future, but i have that taken care of already.

The only farce here is the guy acting like a bad guy thinking that he is cool because doing that, when the rest of the forum sees him just as a clown that is less and less fun to read the more he acts.

[rjolley]

Ok, that was wierd. I got contract offers for both of my players. I accepted one of them. The LB got the salary and the OG got the bonus.

[JeeberD]

Good game for Jeeberoni Potpie of the Marauders with 4 tackles, a hurry, and the games lone sack.

[Peregrine]

Due to a mistake, my fullback was set to return punts on one team. The results were, shall we say...hilarious!

A few of them have created backups for my team too.

I think a good owner and specially in the first seasons, needs to find a mid point between wanting to form a good team and forcing payers to play for their whole contract even if they are pissed off and damaging team chemistry as for sure over time it will hit you back (karma?).

Maybe that is why my players like me and i have no problems finding human players wanting to be my backups, specially after i was mentioned in the "good owners" thread and also by the word spreading of my own players. My team roster has 52 players, all human and all happy to play for me. Our team forum has over 450 posts and it's becoming a friendly community to hang out besides the game talk.

Btw, advice for those that can't fill their teams. One thing i did at first was to create a bunch of players myself and placed them in my team. As i was finding more players, i traded my own players away for good players or cash in return.

Slowly i'm getting all my own created players (12 so far) in nice and friendly teams, while getting cash or good players in return for my own team.

For me the fun both as player and team owner is being part of nice and friendly small communities. I guess that is the point of MMORPG, if i want to just manage computer players then i play FOF solo or Madden Superstar mode.

I agree with this and I'm trying to do the same. I'm careful to make sure my backup human players know they are doing this, yet I'm finding my backups are still getting a lot of game reps. I just want to find a group of guys that will keep up with their players and hopefully I can resign most of them to longer contracts midseason. Our team isn't as diverse as yours, and neither is the forum, but it's getting there and I like that.

[larrymcg421]

Damn, HA already signed with someone. I really needed a 4th CB.

Looks like it might be a good strategy

[vex]

Created a Level 1 Guard, Brandon Webb, if there is any interest.

Heh - looks like we are both going for the exact same type of player. So...I like it!

My guy: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player...ayer_id=168536

I am working on building up his equipment arsenal right now. I have speed equipment and catching equipment created and am going to make jumping equipment next.

[JAG]

I have a lvl 12 center looking for a spot to start.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=68095

(plus 5 SP's I'm figuring out where to add)

If you've got a place for him, shoot me a PM with info on your team. Thanks.

[Kodos]

Wow. HA is such a clown.

Hard to believe he's been booted from or quit so many leagues where he is required to interact with other humans....

I'd recommend making all of your equipment to boost speed, since that will now cost you +2. It'd be better to get 1:1 on your other attributes and then purchase +1 upgrades for speed.

I'd gladly take him, but the guy I originally signed just to be a backup C is now the starter and he's invested his flex pts to bring him up to level 7. Hate to bench him now, but the rest of our line is 8s and 10s..you would have fit in nicely. You'll have no shortage of suitors though.

That's what we are going to do once our natural speed gets to 50.

I am starting to wonder if jumping might be the best secondary there...might work on that in addition to catching and stamina.

To: Silverbacks (this might apply to some other teams as well)

Guys, I noticed we are playing tomorrow, not the day after. With only one day between games, this might affect how you train (for example, I'm at 86 energy, I'd normally train normal and get +9 en for two days, and be at 100% next game, but with only one day's rest I'm training at relaxed and getting +15 en).


Hope that made sense.

I posted in the Silverbacks' forum as well so everyone will see it.

This is actually the same way it was last season. You get two training updates before each game, so at relaxed you can recover up to 30 energy points.

I need an invite to get Alex Donovan back into a FOFC team.

Bah! I'm on vacation and my brains is scrambled! We played Sunday, and now Tuesday. Nevermind.

Blitz is blocked from work for me but I can send you a contract this evening if interested. We're the Victoria Admirals in the Canadian Pro League. Drop me a PM at Blitz, my sn is PurdueBrad and I'll send a deal tonight.

I sent you a PM to see if you want to be a Troll. I think you'll like us. Got some other FOFC guys on the team too.

[cartman]

Lowcountry's game is in the books.

Spoiler

w00t!!! 24-13 win for the Gators. The rush defense was stellar, holding Minnesota to 12.5 yards on 16 carries, less than a yard per rush!

[Icy]

WOW 61 yards TD by my TE Hector Carrillo (named after my son), eluded a tackle and ran so fast that nobody could catch him.

Make sure if you send me a contract offer you mention FOFC, I have 60+ contract offers to go through :P

Nice catch and run -- but the greatest part about that play is that the LDE was hanging with you all the way down the field, even at the end when the CB petered out.

[NevStar]

Power backs are awesome:

[larrymcg421]

Pure speed, baby. My WR Bernard Blaze runs right by the defense for a 54 yard TD.

Another great speed play and great route ran by a receiver from my team today:

dola

As pointed out in the team forum, My DE makes a great open field tackle here...

You want power back? My team's 3rd string HB / 3rd string FB (strength 58 iirc):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1350872

He's got 9 TDs in 3 games.

Anyone who thinks "starting" is the end all and be all in this game is just ignorant. A well-managed team can have optimal player development (40 plays/player) for 30 plus guys...and if your concern isn't the team and collective development, then this probably isn't the game for you.

Agreed, if you're the PRIMARY backup. If you're sitting 3rd on the depth chart & only getting 20 plays a game, you're stifling your own growth (which ultimately hurts the team, as well).

[rjolley]

I'm not sure that being the 3rd backup hurts as much. If the player is on special teams, he may get 20-25 plays a game. I have a backup G on the Silverbacks and he's advancing a lot faster than my LB who's a starter. The G plays on special teams, both offensively and defensively, and usually gets about 28 reps a game, with 4-5 of those being snaps at G. He gains about 350 points a game, where the LB gains about 275, playing more snaps.
