As said Frankling, sweet, the developper is here

Hopefully FOFC won't crash your game too much. You should have plenty of bug reports if we find any, we're like that

Welcome to FOFC!

Now that the dev is here....I officially request for a happy medium between basic and advanced playcalling. I'm not a certain individual/computer on this board who will remain nameless, so I don't wanna put in ALL those damn numbers on the advanced. But, I'd like a little more control than the basic allows.

Come to think of it, I want that in FOF as well.

I think there are a few of us in both leagues still. If you ask kindly, maybe somebody else will give his spot in one. To not have your spot stolen, timing is kind of important though...

Setting up advanced playcalling scares me . If I'm going to invest that much time in this, it needs to be persistant and preferably export/import capable...

I was gonna comment about that, it's a basic free league. #275 and 276 are the newest newbie league. Good luck anyway!

okay, while you're here kentontrace, are there injuries in the game, and since I'd assume so, how frequent?

yes - umm it depends on how lucky you are - some teams seem to get hit hard while others dont get hit too hard...

For some reason in the way the sim is set up right now - it is way more likely for a "off" guy to get hurt...For some reason the D doesnt get hurt often at all

There is also fatigue that will cause subs - so getting backups is a good idea

good things to know. I'm setting my auction prices and was wondering if I should go for a bit of depth of for home run hits on all starting spots. Guess I'll save some for depth

not in the free leagues. Although - once the new depth chart page is released - it should allow for playing people out of position.

Right now the only way to play someone out of position is in the token leagues and you have to do it by formation.

Hey... is this just a one-season-and-done thing?

No career mode? When the season is over, that's it? Start a fresh league?
