Grand Junction Silverbacks Stats

Updated stats for this week. I also found my missing playoff game. As of now I've just got the season 2 stat totals but the individual player stats show their entire game history.

You are right. Looks like the developers have just obsoleted one of your programs. They have now added the ability to watch games from your homepage rather than see the score right away.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but I just created:

Death Jackson, HB

Added some equipment, signed a deal, allocated some skill points.....now what? Wait for the game to be played?

Hey Larry, Mo Jolley is now an FA. If you need him as a backup OG/OT and special teamer, let me know. If not, I'll look for a spot someplace else.

I could use a WR. I got one inactive guy and I'd rather give the XP to a human. Tottenham Trolls in W Europe AAA. Check us out if you want to join.

I upgraded Death Jackson RB to level 4, and added a guard named Jumbo Lipschitz, and upgraded him to Level 4.

Last guy I now have is a QB Free Agent named Cannon Fury.

Despite my misgivings about this whole game from my own perspective, this enterprise is rapidly moving up the list of "how the hell didn't I think of this license to print money?" This thread is pure testament.

Seriously. Talk of owners with a team and fifty players under their belts...even with referral points we're talking about close to $200 every six weeks to stay current and boosted.

Not to mention there are threads like this all over the internet. This game has taken off on many sports community boards, at least in the short term.

Is there really a feeling of accomplishment in this game? I spent more money than you, so my team is better than yours. Way to prey on people's competitive nature!

Personally, I haven't spent a penny on this game, but I still find it fun, more because of the FOFC team I'm on. I'd probably stop playing if it wasn't for that, like I did with F1Time and hattrick, though hattrick was more because it just wasn't fun to me.

I have no idea what I am doing in this game. I made 3 players, two of them have contracts, they have equipment and skill points....other than that I am flying blind.

If you click on the "Watch" link so that it shows the pbp one line at a time, do not click to watch a replay. If you do and then go back to the pbp the full pbp log with the score will show up.

Watching the game is kinda lame, as they don't show the current score. At least, I didn't see it anywhere.

It's funny you mentioned that. It seems like such a basic game...why didn't we think of that? There are a lot of things that irritate me about the game...formation on offense, 3-4 on defense, etc. But I'm sunk into it for now, but that has a lot to do with me owning a winning team with a lot of guys that just enjoy playing the game. I wonder how it will last once the losing teams get sick of it and start quitting in droves. I'm curious to see what this is like come late June.

I would either open it in a new tab (ctrl-click or mousewheel click) or open it in a new window (shift click).

Still better than it was, but it obviously has a long way to go. I just kept a pad of paper next to me and wrote down scoring plays.

Hey all FOFC teams,

I'd like to create just one more player to an even (and final) six total. I currently have all five of my current players on the Silverbacks....but am open to requests for a certain type of player on any team.

Current player types I have: TE, P, WR, T, and CB. I have no preference on what type of player (aside from not being another OL or K/P.

I don't mind being a back up or a fill in player....at all.

Just let me know here or via GLB message. Username: Hawk McGawk

Cheers!

Yup. What sucks is that we'll take cohesion hits when their contracts expire.

This game has found an interesting niche. It is based on the most popular sport in the US, for one. And it seems to have interested a lot of folks because it allows you to be both owner and athlete. Although I am mostly enjoying it, I'm still not convinced that it is a very good game.

I'm suprised that this thread/game still has legs. Are the role-players fueling this because for the non-roleplayers, I see no point whatsoever.
