The more I look into this, the more uninspiring glb2 is becoming, and with it killing off glb1 for the most part, I think I might have finally reached the point of buying no more flex.

There is many threads on the subject, but I just want to know w/o reading through a bunch of threads.

1. Is GLB1 going away?
* If so should I kill my up start squad?
* Or will it transfer to GLB2

2. Is GLB2 many seasons away or is it coming in the next season or two?

3. Who am I going to have to pay to create a new player builder for GLB2.

4. Is GLB2 going to be marketed ?

5. Is GLB2 going to be simplified, same or harder than current?

6. Build process: Faster to end build?

7. Build process: More features / options for building?

8. Arch-types still? or we just going freestyle again?

Thanks for any help on this.


1. No. Not officially. Although the jury is still out on how the player base will react to the new game. GLB1 won't be shut down by Bort & Co tho. As for, your start up squad, that's very much up in the air. Again, no one knows how the player base will react. Recruiting could become nearly impossible (if it wasn't already) due to decreased players in GLB1. Teams can't be transferred, but flex is the same pool for both games, so players can be retired normally here and new ones can be made in GLB2.

2. No one knows. It's going to depend on how fast and easy the testing goes. In theory it'll be soon.

3. In theory, player building scripts won't be needed for the new game. There's no ALGs to worry about and no training. You play games, earn SPs directly, and apply those SPs to attributes.

4. It's not a matter of if it will be marketed, but how, and how successfully. Technically a MySpace page would be marketing, as would handing out flyers at the local mall. I'm sure Bort has some kind of plan.

5. The theory is coordinating will be simplified, and player building will be similar in complexity due to more attributes, but easier due to the lack of ALGs and training.

6/7/8. The build process will be faster, and seasons will be faster. There's no archetypes but there's a lot of different attributes now. Each position has different attributes. Special Abilities are going away in their current form and will be replaced with Signature Abilities which will have a different point system instead of using SPs. That way you can get Abilities and increase your attributes at the same time, without hurting your build. The full process of player building hasn't been released yet tho.

There is a private forum that's being kept fairly well up to date as new info gets released.

ok so I have seen you earn SP and apply them for game played. Will SP differ from player to player base on states or is everyone getting the same amount per game. Sorry if this is some where in the 275 pages I could not find it..

Everyone gets 1000 SP for each game (ladder and league games). The only time you get more is when you simultaneously hit a 'career experience' milestone (which are purely based on quantity of games played)..

I think this is the point, making a dumbed down version of GLB1

Not sure if it makes it better, but "dumber" and easier to play it seems.
No more need for a VPB script

QB should probably be renamed Curtis Painter.
