I have seen it mentioned before that there is a "repeat play" penalty if a play is ran twice in a row. How substantial is this penalty and what exactly is it applied to? The players, morale, chemistry, etc? Also is this penalty stacked or reset if a play is ran more then twice in a row... for example the play is ran four times in a row so it is a 4x penalty.

Thanks.

The more you run a play IN TOTAL during the course of a game, the bigger bonus the opponent gets to his stats. It's a small bonus to all stats, and large ones to vision, conf, and tackling.

More on this please.. is it a repeat play if the players are different?

Players don't matter - it's the actual play call that matters.

Can you expand on the fake process/rolls relative to Power Thru/LTS?


Power Thru/LTS are not fakes.

They are applied as bonuses to the tackle breaking roll as a tackle occurs. Better strength/SA level, etc makes them more likely to happen, and makes them give bigger bonuses. Not all that complicated.

What's the status on custom offensive plays or new offensive plays?


Will never be custom offensive plays. We're going to be adding approximately 20-25 new offensive plays for next season. You can check out discussion on that in Test Server Discussions.

Has there been any consideration given to allowing GLB Team Forum to be attached to email? I think it would be great to get email alerts when there are forum posting or PMs sent to you


Spam blacklists tend to cause problems with that. We don't want to be sending out that much email. Also, we do not have a "I agree to receive emails from you" box anywhere.

If I choose only a lvl 4 cap team, am I just as likely to get a team for next season as if I were to choose 4-14 cap?


Probably more likely with 4-14, simply because the range is larger, making for more possibilities. However, you should choose the level you really want, to make sure you start where you want.

Does it help or hurt you to pick one or not?


It really depends on the player's build and which archetype you are wanting to choose. For most players, choosing one will have more value than not choosing one because of more efficient ALG's and the bonus SA.

A number of Good quality lvl teams ave gutted there team in order to send there best dots to WL will we set a max limit on how many new dots can be brought in. if so. could it be based on the number of dots signed untill the next season.. for example. if a team has 55 players and only 45 of them are signed till the next season, it would only allow the team to bring in 10 NEW players. some changes could be made for people wishing to leave...


It's quite possible we will look at doing a salary cap of some sort (probably a distributed luxury tax) when we do the rest of our financial updates for eq and stadium upgrades. Super merger teams are not really in the competitive spirit.

On the 2nd team ownership, do you have any thoughts already on how that'll work?

IE, own 2 Casual + 2 Regular? 2 PeeWee as well?

As many as you can afford?

Also, any chance of getting it done before the offseason to ensure we can properly staff these teams, .


2 of each type. Not sure if I will have time or not.

Can you implement an automatic 3 level jump for league champions in minor leagues up until cap 38 instead of an option? (Where a 2 cap jump would be to LVL 46.)



I'd like to maybe see a forced 3 level jump for 20-0 teams. Those guys should really move up.

What is the progression for a power back breaking tackles? Does aeq % activate first or do SA's fire first, and as a follow up which SA's give you the best opportunity for success.


total score + % bonuses. The best SAs for you are up to you to discover.

This may seem complex, but has Bort ever thought about attaching a reporting engine to GLB that pulls data such as levels, stats, records etc. A lot of companies use reporting systems to mine data like Crystal Reports. The possibilities are endless. You can make changes on the server and then pull reports to see if something is overpowered. You can look at your MVP formula against stats for example. Of course you’ll need a reporting engineer and a data miner. I am available, I can send my resume. Just Kidding! But seriously, something like this would really add a lot to the game

I know TL;dr


We will be having to do something along those lines for our iPhone app to communicate with the site. Maybe it could be adapted for 3rd party apps and such as well.

Any thought to allowing us to choose the blocking side for a back staying into block in SB/SG sets? This would help eliminate the effectiveness of some exploit/problematic blitzes.


Hm, decent idea. I will give it some thought. Similar to the TE block side, I guess.
