3Questions from The Avenger:

1. Will Casual team tactics get an update, its been over a year, you need to keep it fresh? Like 5 wide shotgun formation % or cover 0 D, both not available.

2. Have you thought about how LONG term team owners on GLB could be rewarded at all? It really is the "backbone" of repeat business on this website imho.

3. Will Catch22 post in his Kick Returners team forum and at least say hi?




We haven't had much in the plans for any more casual tactics updates; more options tend to just make it less casual. Pretty sure 5 wide is included in a few of the playbooks for "long" plays, but there's not really enough 5WR plays for a full playbook of just that.

Not sure how to really reward long term owners in a way that would be appreciated? A free season? Early or "first dibs" access to certain features in future game products?

Whats the justification for having one-handed catch at the end of the possession WR SA tree? It seemingly never activates. Has there ever been talk about possibly re-evaluating the relative strengths of the possession WR tree to make them more effective or the effects of these SA's more 'noticeable'?


Its bonus is actually pretty big when it does activate. Maybe it just needs an icon to see when it's working. Might be more than you think.

What will coming out of Beta actually mean? What changes?


Answered this before in past Q & A's but basically means major changes (things like training changes, archetypes, etc) will not happen any longer. We'll still make updates to the sim and bug fixes but the core will be stable.

Did, not sure if it was removed or closed. Somewhere in there though


If you can find it and direct it to a bugs moderator for review (if closed, have them reopen based on my post) that would be appreciated. Or start a new one with examples.

Do QBs aim their passes vertically? (high or low)
And if so, do they take into account the height, jumping ability, positioning and SAs like jump catch and diving catch on the receiver and defender when aiming the pass?


They will aim high if need be (defender in the way or the WR can't reach the ball otherwise or something). Low aim is never on purpose. In general they aim for the letters though.

Last question:

So we are encouraged to go with cookie cutter builds? There is no benefit on the line to do anything otherwise with this response.

Edit: thanks for your time guys. You are guys right?



There is a difference. It's just not super apparent. I said not at this time - doesn't mean we won't look at it in the future when we have more time.

And yes, we're guys.

I have read postings in forums about coming out of Beta and rewarding agents who have played this game while it was in Beta. Is there any such plans or thoughts about this like some free flex.


There might be something. Stay tuned.

A general question about the term that I have for Bruiser VA: 'GLB brakes for a powerback'

Every time my power back EVER gets outside the 8 yard line, any jackhole dot can take him down. This doesnt seem fair since powerbacks can only have it for 8 yards, whereas an elusive back can have a 30% bonus the WHOLE field. In terms of real life circumstances, I would guess that a powerback at full speed would be harder to take down than elusive back in the open field.

Its just amazing how my power back goes down in the same position on the field, where an elusive back that gets the slider bonus to spin AND from quick feet, AND slippery at any point on the field, has guys slide off rather easy.

With that being said, has there ever been talk of adding a slight buff to the bruiser VA, say like 0.5-1% per level for anything past the 8 yard line?


Has never been any talk bout it til now. I think in general we just wanted to avoid power backs ruling the field like they had in the past though, just smashing through everything. I haven't seen a ton of talk about it in general really.

What is the current support setup and have you/will you consider making it a multiple tier system or expanding the support team to a level under admin?

I understand we can't expect a member from support to be on standby 24 hours a day but some issues/requests have gone unrecognized well beyond what I would consider an appropriate waiting period. This is a general statement related to multiple issues submitted by multiple customers.


I've never seen a support ticket go unanswered within 48-72 hours. And by never, I mean never.

Have you considered making sideline catches a part of the game? i.e. a receiver's vision and height (and a VA) could help them to catch passes that are thrown wide of the boundary, when running toward the sideline or when boxed yo the sideline by a defender with inside position? That's an aspect of the passing game that really stands out to me as missing, it's a huge thing in real football..


I'd like to, and there used to be less avoidance of the sideline, but we found people seem to get annoyed when their player goes out of bounds even if they had no other choice because "He could have broken a tackle!!!!!" Maybe QB passes to the sideline would be more accepted, but there'd probably still be whiners lol. Would probably need a tactics option.

Yeah...its just one of those things where I see elusive halfbacks shred the field ANYWHERE they are at. Powerbacks in general have the disadvantage that near anyone can catch them, that to have the whole break tackle bonus disappear at 8 yards seems unfair. Not all are slow, but it seems that having some bonus after 8 yards would be prudent since elusive HB's have a 30% bonus the whole field.

Im not recommending that PB's have a 45% the whole field...but something past 8 yards would level the natural disadvantage that they have in general to HB's using slippery. The bonus' from the slider to spin, like QF, that stack on a guy who uses slippery has no equal comparison in the PB world.

if you have a preferred SA at 10, is the bonus subject to the diminishing returns of SAs over 10?
