From the games I've watched (I usually watch a minimum of two a day), the passing game has looked more than adequate.

why do QBs seem to favor throwing into double coverage?

will there ever be forum mods?

like an Africa forum mod (i just use that region because that is were my team is), USA forum mod and so on.

there are posts that are from season 7 and older for some reasons sticked.

and posters sometimes get way out of control. Just curious if this is talked about. I know mods/admins try to contain this but you guys already have enough stuff going on

its really not all that bad for the offense tbh...i work 2 jobs and go out and do dart and pool leagues, as well other activities among drinking...and still find the time to do a couple of AI's...its really not all that bad until the playoffs.

The defense is MUCH more complicated, but my point is that an offensive play creator would make both sides of the ball way to complex imo. The higher you go in leagues, the harder it becomes. Pros and WL teams spend an enormous amount of time planning and changing things.

New forum rules will take care of this for users. They should be out soon.

Will we be made aware of said rules?

When will there be an answer to this question?

What is the lowest level you can drop your team down to and not lose your stadium or cash?

Or how much do you lose if you drop a team to a certain cap?

This is pretty important to know in order to recruit properly for the upcoming off season as the answer here affects many teams I GM for

I responded to this earlier.

This is still being decided on; a number of details to work out. As soon as we know, it will be announced for sure.

Currently, it's 14, but that is of course probably going to change.

do you understand the timing concern?

finding out on day 40 that you can only move so many places on day 41 isn't acceptable

need to know this type of stuff by day 30 at the latest IMO

this was a suggestion long ago that i havent heard of in quite some time...but i thought it was gaining momentum..

will there ever be friendlies available to practice against our own team?

talked about yea, but not on the immediate list of things Bort is working on.

Yes, eventually some regional forum mods will likely be added.

Does the GLB staff need help anywhere? I would love to pitch in.

I posted this in the Game Changes Forum, and a Q&A admin suggested I post here:

According to the Proposed Archetype List:

3) If your player is between 1-80 days old you will be forced to choose an archetype before the end of pre-season. If you do not choose one by then you will be assigned the default archetype for that position. If you would rather retire your player then choose an archetype, you can do so and receive a full (100%) refund.
---

The mandatory election age will create a major dot dividing line. For many positions, dots that are not forced to select an archetype will be far superior to dots forced to select one - Center is the obvious example. Under the present proposal, a Center who is 81 days old when the archetype system goes live will become much, much better down the line than a Center who was 80 days old when the axe fell. For many positions, these players will be forced to retire, or suffer a career of being dominated by players just a few days older.

Assuming that the archetype system goes into effect between seasons 14 and 15, the current 80 day cutoff will correspond with another major GLB event: the new player roller. Players created on the first day of the new roller will be 79 or 80 days old and thus forced to select an archetype.

I understand that a line needs to be drawn somewhere, but it seems that the 80-day line will present a much larger number of players with this choice than is necessary. I would imagine a huge number of players were created on the first day of the new roller, and thus a disproportionate number of players will be forced into retirement. If the cutoff fell in the middle of a season, say 100 days or 60 days old, far fewer players would be forced into retirement.

Choosing a mid-season cutoff point rather than a cutoff point that places a large number of players right at the line would cause far less brain-damage than the current proposal.

so your basically screwing over most slow building teams?

ya... i guess

well they were taking applications a little bit ago and have decided on there choices

Looks like another successful Q&A Session.

Thanks Catch.

there wont ever be an offensive play creator...ever. its already been noted several times.

anyway to run reports on the back end to see what the passing completion and INT ratio is by league. I have the feeling that passing is still not what you guys want it to be as far as completion % and TD to INT Ratio game wide. Just curious as to see if Passing is still being tweaked. If so, hopefully for the Offseason.

We (we being me) haven't seen a lot of passing game issues cropping up in the Bugs forum. If people have problems, they need to be reporting them in the proper place. I simply can't go around and read every single thread in all of GLB to know that there is an issue with an aspect of the game. From the games I've watched (I usually watch a minimum of two a day), the passing game has looked more than adequate.

Here is an example.....

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team_stats.pl?league_id=48&conference_id=0&stat=passing&sort=(completions/passes)*100&playoffs=0

7 teams in the whole league with 50% passing
0 Teams averaging 300 yds passing


It just seems like GLB Wide passing Pct's are still down.

If you want me to do a study, I am more than willing. Just hit me up Catch.

You will get a PM when you are on the verge of being perma banned. Users who have been towing the line on the forums for quite awhile generally have amassed quite a few warnings at that point.

New changes to forums coming very very soon. So things will be different in regards to forum violations in the near future.

Is there ever going to be site wide rules that Mods will follow, I know certain mods will allow certain things, while other mods wont like you do anything. how is someone suppose to know what type of mod is modding their forum.

Agree completely.

The decision awaits on Bort, just passing along the info.
