I'm not a roleplayer. it's just a low effort/low time game that doesn't take up more than 5 minutes every few days and a way to bond with the fofc community. Like other similar games, if the fofc community dwindles, or I find myself on a non-fofc team, my interest and involvement would also disappear. |

I really enjoy watching the games even with the flaws in the engine (I'd love for FOF, Gary's game, Vtbub's game, or anyone else developing a game to have a similar type of 2D display.) However, my answer is the same. This is an easy way for me to bond a bit more with guys on here who I might not otherwise ever have chatted with and I'm having fun doing so. It seems like we have a good group on our team. If that FOFC involvement goes down, my interest in the game will also dwindle. |

They have added a Team Leaders section via the team page. That pretty much means I won't need to update my Silverbacks page anymore. I had some other ideas to add to it but I might wait and see if the game devs do it.

Well, he does have a point in that the game sucks right now. I got in on the off chance that it might go somewhere, but where this is headed seems inevitable at this point. But hey, enough people apparently have "patience and understanding with this beta game" that the guys are raking in the cash, so I'd rate it a smashing success for the creators. As long as they don't over-invest in servers and whatnot, they'll retire young.

Yeah...I have to say I find that line to be complete crap when people are paying "real" money. I know its free if you want(at least for a single player)...but still, most people cant enjoy this game without spending some level of money. |

Agreed, the second they started to accept real money, it stopped being a beta. But have the creators used this line other than in the welcome message on the home page? I know there's the fan boys that'll respond to every bug report with that argument, but no one seems to pay them any attention.

I've created a few guys out of need for my team. I only spend a few minutes a day on my characters. I enjoy the gameplanning part. It is very basic right now and the strength of teams is out of whack, but I think things will normalize as the seasons pass. The game just has many things that FOF has been lacking for what seems like an eternity. The simple 2D graphics makes watching play-by-play a lot of fun for me (Madden-like engine would blow my mind). I can actually see what works, how players are performing with different skill sets, who screwed up on the long run/pass, etc. I can scout teams by watching them play. I can play the game from anywhere. I think I am just so hungry for a 21st century FOF, that I'll play anything that resembles a new idea.

Definitely a personal preference. The one thing this game has taught me is that I really, really, really hope FOF doesn't ever go 2D-only. (Meaning I want the same information available in text and stats.) It just plain takes too long. I've trained myself to watch Solevision in "faster" mode, because I always found it too slow, too, but I have to watch in order to get all the information I need to maximize performance.

Looking forward to our (Richmond Razorbacks) matchup against the Lowcountry Gators today. Should be a pretty good FOFC vs FOFC game.

The Silverbacks have put a nice run together and are now in the 8th and final playoff spot, with two very easy games and one tough one left on the schedule.
When I say very easy, this next one is insanely easy and has my offensive guys salivating. We're playing the Detroit Rampage, who give up 70.2 pts per game (and only score 2.4 PPG). This is no joke.

The Silverbacks picked up a trifecta of interceptions.
Chris Whizz http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=3819709 Richard Southwell (in the endzone) http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=3822228 Ben Lewis http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=3822410 I've actually noticed that we start off slowly and really pick up steam in the second half. I'm not sure if that is stamina- or chemistry-related. |

Whose this O'Brien chap on my team? He managed to pick up an INT but gave up...like 3 TD's and about 160 yards of field to his man. It's tough to be a lockdown corner

That's pretty impressive. How fast is he? I've got my DE up to 56 speed and 49 agility.

Four sacks in a single game for DE Jeeberoni Potpie of the Buenes Aires Marauders...not too shabby.

Toledo (Icy, Jeebs, chesapeake, Breizh Manu, me) finishes 16-0 and grabs the #1 seed in the Western Europe AAA's Alpha Conference.
FOFCers Irish Hand's and Cheesehead Craig's teams finished 2-3 respectively...playoffs should be fun!

my owner, capones gun, of the detroit cheetahs....(eastern europe aaa#2, alpha conference)...
has threatened to trade me because i don't post in the forums. my player is a level 15 wide receiver that doesn't start. i have lost interest in watching him return 3 kicks a week.... i'll be able to level him up, so if anyone needs a good receiver for next year, pm capones gun with an offer.... capones gun.... http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=24928 thanks WR J.W.

this game is useless if they don't allow the player to hold-out. right now all the power is with the owner, but in real life if a player has a problem with the front office there's some things he can do to coerce management to see things his way. not getting enough playing time? sit out a game. of course you should be docked pay, and also have to pay fines or whatever while you're not playing, but if the situation is going to be i get a contract and for the length of that contract i'm an indentured servant with no hope of bettering my situation then that's not fun.
right now i'm in the middle of a sticky situation. once again i had a player not getting PT (i was guaranteed to be the starter and then got demoted because "my player's build wasn't good enough"), so i got the team to trade my CB to another team, where i got put even lower on the depth chart. owner said there's nothing i can do cuz i signed a 3 year deal. i told him i wouldn't use any skill points to increase my CB's ratings, i've stopped training and i have my ratings set to everyone can see, plus i took it one step further and i sent the other team the gameplan for the upcoming game (which my team lost 33-0). that still isn't enough to get him to release me. i make as much as the starting CB, i told him he's wasting his money on my guy cuz i won't ever improve him. i even sold all my player's equipment so his ratings are even worse than when i was traded to the team. outside of that, there isn't much a player can do. this is why i just want to control a team, and not be bothered with controlling a player and dealing with this nonsense. |
