I know it is early, but based on what you've seen so far, will only the superstars play like superstars or can an average dot find the right system and over-perform or be built/developed to be superior (ignoring the superstar built completely like an idiot). For example, is it likely the DMVP or OMVP of the league will be a superstar build? I kinda liked that all dots were created equal and it was up to you to build a better dot as opposed to be gifted SP to be superior. I get that you still have to spend the SP wisely, but realistically how long will it be before someone posts a building guide for various "archetypes" in GLB2 and everyone goes chalk in builds. Having three superstar dots and building the rest of your dots with an average ceiling isn't the most appealing concept.

Way too early to tell (no league games yet so there's no player past creation level. Superstars clearly have an advantage. Whether a non-superstar dot can overcome it remains to be seen.

Yeah, just wondering since you know who your superstars are in the games you've run, are they the guys getting the big stats or are other guys "stepping up" too. I get that part of it is the AI you are using and the AI being against you. But all things being equal are the superstars the guys who stand out in the box score so far? (I know there are a lot of factors, but my assumption in this scenario is the coordinators know what they are doing and the dot builder does too. Recognizing of course that it may take several seasons for people to figure things out in the new game.)

I honestly haven't gotten far enough to even start looking at games. I'm focusing on player creating...pros, cons, what seems like its not working, etc.

I would guess a Superstar will stand out at all levels but the later in the build process the more chance there is it gets screwed up.

My RQB can actually put the ball up pretty well. Scrambling works about half the time... the other half the QB runs into the DE just like in GLB:TOS.

Is GLB 2.0 goin' to be seperate from this one?

Maybe add a football to the replays?

It shows in the air, but not when running. You get a star to see who has the ball instead.

Yeah it blends into the background pretty easily in the air, especially when the QB is making the no-look pass.

Idk, a lot of issues with the sideways view, the all 22 is so much easier to see what's going on.

Like GTA V Take your time, even if we have to wait forever :-) But make it awesome, then it's al worth waiting If you need a Belgian tester, I'm your man

I could use a belgian waffle

Well I worked my butt off last night to put together a team.. loads of guessing about what may work... the 100% best advise was.. FORGET GLB 1.. play this game like you would any other online game you found on the net...

Most of my time so far has been in making ummmmm tecno dots (we need a new name)

The new build setup is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! tons of choices.. so many different ways that a player can be designed.... It took a few min for my mind to wrap around the fact that there was no cookie cutter plan.. within a few min I was making dots that just looked like they might be FUN to watch play...and maybe out smart a few other dot builders.... After that I spend most of my time just building dots.... I had a Blast! dot building is just flat.. out fun in GLB 2..

43 man rosters -- wait what... now that I can build mega dots of doom.. you cut it back that far? How about just a few more.. then maybe I can build the mega Off I always dreamed of!!! so ya 43 man team took the wind away for a few min... then It hit me... HOLY Damm I have to think about what kind of team I want this to be..... I have to put some time into laying out what it is I want to do because I just can't have everything...... I LOVE IT! It made me think

So I make a few tough choices.. and I come up with a plan to dominate this new world....an I build 43 mega dots...
add in a few superstars to the mix.... Superstars? they are dots on roids for the most part...
and I don't have enough info on them.. my understanding is that every builder can have 3 but what I'm not sure about is will there be a limit to how many can be on a team... again I didn't get to look at this deep enough just yet.... But for the most part Superstars get a 20k sp boost.. That's a bunch! um the first 2 boost you can make give you just 2k SP each... That's how super a superstar is!

I then decide it's time to go look over the OAI (I am an OC after all) ohhh ,, wait this is not like i expected at all.. I don't know if I should use .. rolled back or dumbed down.... it's just different.. by a ton.. I def see some of the casual looking setup in the mix..
If there was anything I didn't love so far this was it.... For a guy who 100% puts in mega time on his Oai's ... I have to tell you I was taken back a bit.... I have a AI that took me like 60 hours to build..... (including packages) The A.D.D builders that I work with will tell you how much I talk about it and how much pride I put into building it.. then waiting for the teams I built around it to mature up enough to use it.. Yup entire team offenses were designed around the OAI... That's how much i love doing OC work in GLB 1....

There are no real AI's There is playbooks ..lots of them.. broken down into things like, Very short, short runs, inside runs, outside runs, very short passes, short passes, med passes, Long passes, deep passes... (this is prob not the entire list)

Ok so I toss in some plays into all the playbooks... .. wait how the hell do i tell it that my slots are hb slot =speed HB1 = scat hb2= power.. so on well you don't .. time to go peek at the depth charts... each formation is it's own depth chart now.... I like That! (I need much more time to sort this part out) But it looks like I will need to place my power HB in for some formations and my EHB in other formations... then use the playbooks to run the formation that have the right hb in place....

This part I don't like.. it means I an going to have to Pick some formation that my PHB runs in 100% and some my EHB run 100% and a good DC is going to be able to sort that out pretty damm quick IMO .. so this is not my favorite part of the new game..

That said... I'm old school// I love playing OC and I like going up against the best DCs.. it's a huge part of what I like about GLB.. so at First peek.. I was not loving this part at all......So I did as they requested at the very start.. I removed GLB 1 from the mix... If I logged into this game today and never played GLB before... I'd be fappin .............


The truth is there are only so many SOLID Cords in GLB .... fewer each season it seems.... I 100% think that this will help with that.... I think just about everyone can be a cord now...... I also think there is enough work to put in that the cords that put in time will rise above again..... I think we will see more adjusting for each game because it's fast and easy to do.... I think teams have to specialize a bit with 43 man rosters,,,,

now I'm not a DC,, hell I called REB and kept him on the phone with me for hours trying to sort out the new DEF building.. (Poor guy is prob foaming at the mouth now wishing he could get in) Like me he puts some mega time into his DEF I think reb will hate the new setup.. BUT the freedom in dot building... IMO makes up for it...

I think overall we may see more scouting again... I think dot builders will be overloaded with choices and I think were gonna see some crazy ass dot combos for a long long time (God I hope so)

team ownership seems to have taken a step back.. SO FAR no stadiums to build... no ticket pricing or anything to set.. as a owner you fire your cords and sign your dots. AGINA that's so far! teams have salaries so ther has to be a money system to it.. I'm just not finding / seeing / sorting it out just yet

Anyway I thought I'd take a few min and give you my thoughts on the new GLB ...

So much more to do and learn before The very very fast moving up season hits on Monday....

BTW.. I spent most of my time building dots and just started playing with the Off ad Def last night.. so there are going to be things I just have not sorted out yet,,, lol for a few days at that....
There is no GAG order in place... We are free to talk about the game and put up screen shots so on... With the understanding that EVERYONE understands that this is ALPHA.. things are going to change as we go.....

your welcome to hit me up with any questions... I am a bit busy trying to put a team together by Monday in GLB 2 while running my team and playing cord for the other ADD teams I work with.. but I will answer pms the best I can... Don't ask build advice lol... I'm as clueless as everyone else...

back to work for me...

Do I like it.. well I've already started making plans to Build my team when this goes live... damm right I like it

....

+1 I Like

sounds lame, and tecmo dots look like giants. field needs to be stretched or 3D-ots need shrunk.
