Eh, Balldog, you've been around here long enough that I already know we'll have a good rivalry going! I drove you out of New England in the eNFL, and I'll drive you out of Columbus in the BBCF!

(Speaking of, does this league have a name? Does it need one?)

Balldog · 06-10-2005, 10:07 AM

Looks like FOFC BBCF.....us FOFC FBCB guys are fairly creative when it comes to league names.

Bowl Bound College Football, an upcoming game by Arlie Rahn and Grey Dog Software.

Yeah, very cool interface. The budget splitting is a very good idea, and looks quite simple to manage.

General Mike · 06-21-2005, 05:30 PM

I'll sign up as Rutgers, but I'm not positive I'm getting the game yet.

timmyw3 · 06-21-2005, 06:12 PM

I'd like to claim Maryland if they haven't been picked up yet.

sovereignstar · 06-21-2005, 06:15 PM

I'm pretty certain that I won't have the time for this one anymore, so someone else can lay claim to Florida.

CraigSca · 06-21-2005, 06:18 PM

I'll take Maryland if TimmyW sleeps with the fishes or something.

cartman · 06-22-2005, 09:04 AM

I've got the list updated with the latest claimings.

Also, it appears that the beta testers will soon be notified. When the beta begins, hopefully we will be able to start a beta MP league.

How do we get on the beta list?

Bea-Arthurs Hip · 06-22-2005, 10:32 AM

Put me down for Marshall , they appear to be still available.

Thanks

vex · 08-25-2005, 10:37 PM

I'll take Oregon, but I really want Oklahoma, so put me down as 1st Alt. if you would.

JHandley · 08-25-2005, 11:04 PM

If Vex is taking UO, I've gotta get UW. I'd like to claim the University of Washington.

vex · 08-25-2005, 11:17 PM

I reserve Stanford...for some Omerta punk TBA.

Masked · 08-25-2005, 11:19 PM

vex · 08-25-2005, 11:24 PM

The artist formerly known as Don.

Vince · 08-26-2005, 12:06 AM

Damn, and that's the Pac-10 being full, huh?

Well crap...and it's not like I can take UCSB

Vince · 08-26-2005, 12:18 AM

Well, since they actively 'recruited' me for academic reasons back in the day, and I want to whoop Jeeber's butt repeatedly ( :evil grin: ), I'll take the Tulane Green Wave.

Pumpy Tudors · 08-26-2005, 12:41 AM

Woohoo! Go Wave! Good luck, Vince!

MikeVick7 · 08-26-2005, 08:14 AM

Put me down for Texas Tech. Guns up!

And then first alternate for Nebraska.

Passacaglia · 08-26-2005, 02:43 PM

Got to get the Big Ten filled. Indiana and Northwestern are open -- I'll take either school, if someone wants my coveted Illinois spot.

Passacaglia · 09-10-2005, 10:56 PM

Quote:

Q: On what type of scale are player's ratings going to be on?
Arlie Rahn- There are four ways to view ratings for each player: a scale of 1-100, 1-20, 1-10, and invisible. You can choose and switch within single player games The commish would decide in multiplayer games, but he can change whenever he likes. So, maybe on April 1, he will send out a file with no ratings

.

Any ideas on which one we should choose? My vote is for 'invisible' but maybe we can decide that once the game is out and we play around with it?

Quote:

Q: How is the playoff structured?
Arlie Rahn- The playoff is a 16-team tournament that goes until a final championship game. The defaults are for all 11 conferences to get an automatic bid, but this can be configured in the starting database (when you create a league). So, there's a good chance many of the at-large will get seeded above some of the lower auto bids.

Q: So, can you limit that down to only the major conferences getting a bid on league creation?
Arlie Rahn- Yes, you can do that.

Any ideas? I feel like not all the conferences should be included. Maybe it can depend on how many human teams are in each conference, i.e. if the MAC looks full, we might want to include that, but if the Sun Belt is empty we might not want to bother.

Quote:

Q: Can the firing option be turned off for online leagues?
Arlie Rahn- Yes, firing is something that is configured when you begin a league

I'm a huge proponent of having firing ON, especially since we aren't full. If someone gets fired from a high-prestige job, hopefully that lets another coach move up, and the fired coach can find a job somewhere else.

Joe · 09-10-2005, 11:10 PM

I'll take Minnesota if they're open. Didn't see an owner listed in Cartman's post.

This will probably be one of the first votes we have. My initial leaning is to go with invisible as well.

I like the idea of having all conferences with at least one human teams have an automatic berth. To me, it would encourage someone to take a Sun Belt team.

We'll have to see how this works. I like the way we do it in Radii's FBCB league. But there are over 300 college basketball teams, versus 117 football teams.

Dutch · 09-10-2005, 11:37 PM

I'll take Louisiana Tech. Somebody's got to give Taz a run for the WAC afterall.

cthomer5000 · 09-10-2005, 11:38 PM

I'd like to take North Texas, and I'd like to be an alternate for Rutgers.

Passacaglia · 09-10-2005, 11:39 PM

Those all sound good, cartman. I did notice you said something about enticing people to take a Sun Belt team. I've noticed that no one's done that yet, though. My worry, though, was the conferences would start to become much more equal in talent, like in TCY. But it's probably best to just let a team from each conference in there, so that winning the conference actually means something.

How is it done in Radii's league?

The way we do it is that the fired coach has the option of staying. Since we don't have a waiting list, and there seems to be a bug with expectations almost never decreasing, it seemed to be a fair way to handle things.

But we already have quite a few alternates listed for several of the teams in this league, so that approach probably won't work for us. We'll have to see what will be the best way to handle fired coaches.

DeToxRox · 09-11-2005, 12:26 AM

I agree on everything Cartman agreed with.

Seems like its most fair and will encourage most participation.

illinifan999 · 09-11-2005, 12:31 AM

I plan on getting this when it comes out, so I'd like Florida Atlantic in the sun belt.

Nooooo! I was looking forward to that automatic berth every year.

Of course, if Arles has Hawaii's roster playing like they are in real life I probably wouldn't win a bot filled WAC.

Icy · 09-11-2005, 06:12 AM

I would like to have the conferences bids like in real life as we have it in the FOFC FBCB league, not limiting it to the conferences with humans, and i agree also about firing ON so we can have a real world moving around us, with coaches changing teams etc.

FYI Icy, cartman's thrown real life out the window when he decided to do playoffs, and not a bowl system.

I would like us to reconsider that decision; I think bowls will encourage more participation and make the game more fun for more people.
