Once this gets more widespread, lets consider getting an OS league/tournament going! I'd love to torch everyone here with my jacked up D!

Does anyone have freezing issues during the advertisements? Great game btw. I just havent been able to finish a game because the game keeps freezing during an advertisements randomly.

I like that if I play against a team that's lower then mine and I whoop on them like I should I don't get a ton of FP because I'm supposed to beat them big. I get more FP for playing a team of my own caliber and even just putting up a decent game not even winning. It's fun building up your players, definitely something you have to be aware of while playing so your team can be good in all areas.

Yay 500th post!

I'm checking it out as well. It does come with a 70MB install file, which isn't a huge deal, but it does mean that it's not totally web-based. In other words, it's not like I can just go to any computer with an internet connection, log in, and play a game, which is a minor drawback.

Love the idea though. The layout is pretty attractive, though I don't understand the player "levels" and I'm not totally sure what I'm doing there. Perhaps when I play an actual game, I'll get a better notion of it.

Also, I didn't realize that they randomly assign you two current or past NFL players (kinda like APF 2k8). But you can't CHOOSE them, so I have Drew Pearson and some defensive guy I've never even heard of. I thought that was a critical error in the immersion element of 2k8 putting real life guys in the game, mixed with a bunch of fake guys. If this is supposed to be my startup franchise that I'm managing, I'm less inclined to believe that when I have a couple of guys on my team that played in the 60's or 70's. I'd prefer they weren't there.

Also, his answer about teams "regressing" kinda bothered me. While I understand that this is supposed to be a Football "RPG". The fact that my team just perpetually gets better (and nobody retires, nor do you get new players, right?) kinda divorces this from any GM simulation or franchise mode, where the idea is that you need to do your job well both to improve AND even sustain your level of skill.

Somebody who's played this game 100+ time is just flat out going to have a better team, irrespective of their coaching and strategic abilities.
