With the forced signing to be able to train, will the players just not receive TP while off a team? Does this include the offseason

No, they'd collect the points but be unable to use them.

Up to Catch.

Cap 4 Winners get treated like every other league and get mandatory promoted to Cap 18 even with the level disparity?

Not really a level disparity. Lv 18 leagues will have lv 14 sucky teams, lv 18 REALLY sucky teams, and lv 4 winners. It's not all full of lv 18+ players automatically. Most of the teams will be from similar situations.

Will you ever consider a balanced WR archetype? One that features speed, agility, catching and strength as majors (of course with a fifth)?

I find it to be illogical that only one WR archetype has speed as a major, and that while HBs have a "combo" build WRs do not.

Archetypes are done. We're not adding anything new or changing anything unless there is a balance issue (none have been found in testing thus far).

Do Blitz and Tunnel Vision work in the same way?

No. Blitz is always active when blitzing. Tunnel Vision has to activate and has a bigger bonus.

How do the Big/Monster Hit SA's apply to the force fumble roll? Simlar to Shed Blocks and the break block roll?



Yes. They apply a bonus to the FF score when they work.

is the world league working, in your opinion? (as opposed to bort's old 'tournament' idea)

My opinion, no. But I've never been a fan of the World League in the first place so I'm biased on that.

Bort, please consider us to make some basic custom offensive plays.

1. You must pick from standard formations.
2. With pulldowns, you pick from standard routes, blocking schemes, rushing pathes.

It would give us the chance to custom build endless combinations yet nothing the DC can't scout.

I've been an OC since forever. The inability to overload areas of the field are one of GLB's biggest shortcomings. We've had nothing new on offense (except the RB1/RB2 slots) since forever.

Closest you might get at some point is a pick a route type thing. We know it would be rife for exploitation no matter what, though.

Sorry about that - had some issues there. Looks like we're back now.

Does strength play any role in catching the ball? If so, is it only a bonus that occurs when covered and fighting for the ball or is it a general bonus?

Will regular teams ever be able move to the casual leagues? If so will the same new promotion/demotion rules apply?

I have gone back and forth with the idea.

There are a couple problems:
- They would lose all their AI, playbooks, etc, since it wouldn't apply to casual. Lost data there might by annoying to many owners.
- The level differences between normal and casual leagues. The casual leagues have kinda built up on their own. Moving other league teams in could cause issues with them having and advantage or disadvantage. Kinda like how Africa tends to be lower level than USA because it was created later.

May I suggest something... Allow the movement of teams from Casual <-> Regular but ONLY upon team reset/demotion. This would solve your second issue I believe. The first bullet doesn't need to be solved as they are aware of what they are getting themselves into (or at least should be). Obviously the no more then "x teams" per league rule would have to be satisfied too.

There was talk of EQ being free starting next season. So just to be clear, EQ is still going to cost what it does now and teams will still need to fund EQ through the EQ fund correct?

are the new "Archetype SAs" the only new ones being added? shouldn't there be a bigger variety for a specific build type? (for example, what kind of QB doesn't take the new quick read SA)

whats up with all this "404 not found" during the Q & A ?

hacker attack? or just stalling, so you dont have to answer anymore questions

I have heard that confidence is more important during the playoffs than during the regular season. Is that true? Are there other differences between the regular season and the playoffs?

Since you're going to possibly re-add the A league, and the fact that everyone will be able to own two teams now, is there any chance we might get the old league structure back when BBB was around? (Makes sense since so many teams will be bought)

I take it that you have not read those threads that discuss this. One main point is that turning over a team of declining players is just to damn difficult a longer plateau (I am talking "true" plateau) gives teams a longer window to transition from old to new while remaining competitive.
I have not read them in depth 100% of the way. I have seen the ideas in general. Catch and I have briefly talked about it at times. We have not come to a conclusion one way or the other.

Well, I wish you would discuss this in more detail sooner rather than later. There were a lot people that said the would prefer to wait another season or so for the archetypes if it meant we could have a longer plateau and/or shorter building process.

Also... someone mentioned the WL and yall thought it wasnt working like you would like... and extended plateau helps with that

Will elite teams that did not do so well this season be moved out of the elite tiers next season?
