not necessarily. not like we'd split up the forums or force them to go into the noob leagues. could be a choice to go into the noob league for the first season you sign up.
even then they could all ask questions and stuff in the noob forum and get help, not like we'd stick them all in one league and not let them post in the main forum
ok

You only get one shot at someone, so no need to bring people into the game who will turn their noses up and leave because the game is not ready yet.
Another game I play did that TWICE, buggy release and then some years later a big push for new and returning players to see a new really large upgrade and that wound up being buggy with the volume. End result, they are frakked.
After being here 9000 years I can say with great certainty that this is prolly as good as it's going to get.

Its tough to make guides that are small enough the casual fan will read...but in depth enough for a new user to still be able to compete with the best builders out there.
tbh GLB player building isn't that complicated for those who have played text based games before....but those who have never been around a game like this have a really tough time understanding it.
Then might I suggest new "helpstaff" positions for GLB called something like "dot help" and "team help"? These would be people who would gladly serve (just as you do) as GLB helpers that newbies could turn to when they have question. This would also save a ton of forum postings (especially those of the 'oft repeated' variety).

HOw many people would actually read those guides ? Noobs should automatically be put on a rookie team with owners and coachs who explain the game.

Simply, the people that do not understand football in general.

well this isn't entirely true. Football guys build a LB..and they think. My LB needs speed/agility/vision/strength/tackling and starts to build all of those up fairly evenly.
In reality those who have played text based games before know that mix/max strategies nearly always work better than this approach. The nerds are kinda at an advantage over the football guys imo.
