actually, they are working on that. Last Q&A said their are addressing how their Passing fix swung a bit too far to the other side.

They said 2-3 seasons ago that Iron Man was high on the list and that it could be done, with 20-man rosters I believe. But yet, without the bumps we're getting, this idea would be gone.

bort came out and said that doing it would require an entirely new script for the roster pages. i kind of gave up hope after that. but still, i think somebody is going to come out with a new game thats iron man and glb will lose a lot of its customers because of it

wow, that was pretty rude to speak to the recognized leader of the iron man league movement leader.

I wasn't trying to be like that, I just found it odd that someone would accuse me of derailing a thread that I've spent more than a year maintaining, updating, coordinating and advocating for

but let's keep this on topic... are there any questions or concerns about how Iron Man would work other than "fix the sim"?

No, Bort said that it would require an entirely new coding if we required fewer than 20 players, which in other words meant NGTH

With a 20-man roster limit, however, those concerns aren't applicable

Its going to happen here, by the way no one posted this quote from the recent Q&A so I thought I would

]No ETA on Iron Man Leagues but it's at top of Bort's to do list.

I wonder if we are going to build special Iron Man Dots with different ATs and changes to the out of position penalties

That is a really good point, I would be curious to know this as well. Personally I think I would prefer players using today's methods so that a team has to balance between offensive and defensive focus.

I'd say they will have to change the sim to reduce OOP penalty between O and D lines anyway. A few other OOP definitely need to be slashed too

Obviously, we can re-hash this whole debate if needed, but after a long and interesting debate, this is pretty much what was settled on previously as regards OOP

Q: What about the Out Of Position penalty (commonly referred to as OOP)?

There would be no change to the OOP for an Iron Man player. A WR will probably have to play CB on your Iron Man team, for example, and he won't play defense as well as he plays offense.

We consider this part of the strategy for Iron Man football. Is it better to build a WR and play him also as a CB, or build a CB and play him also as a WR? That is the part for you to decide and figure out, and part of the increased challenge that has a big appeal in the 1000+ posts that have already been made about this idea.

It's all good, I just wanted to point out that this was something previously considered to be a "settled" matter in the thread

But like all parts of a suggestion, it is open for further debate if you or anyone feels that it needs to be explored more or hashed out better

Just an FYI: Next season, I'll be trying to bring Iron Man to Copper in the PWs. I'm talking to support to see if we can buy out a league and play a regular season schedule with Iron Man dots.

Isn't that on the NGHT, Buying a league that is.

Kind of but what he is talking about is slightly different. They try to get everyone in their league to abide by certain deviations. The issue for them is going to be the min roster limit IMO.
