Why must daily rollover occur at 11pm pst rather than an hour our two later and will it be possible for that process to take less than two hours in the future?

11pm pst is midnight server time. I know 2 hours is pretty generous, and things are usually over in less than an hour, but I like to make sure there's enough time to deal with daily issues where things aren't getting changed constantly if need be.

Any chance there could ever be limited custom archtyping.... Maybe have the ability to swap one major and a minor for the category of your choosing, also flexibility of the green SA's.

This would provide so many new opportunities to the game, providing a much needed fresh touch.

The archetypes are designed to be balanced so there is not one "right" choice, and they usher you down a design path. Too much freedom within the limited choices of attributes would probably just make an uber class for every position. I know sometimes we'd like more customization, but I feel there's just not enough attributes in this game to really allow for it much more than what we have currently.

bort has said that when a dot uses lower the shoulder or powerthrough he slows down, is the slow down enough to trigger first step?

It's possible if he gets hit hard enough by the tackler, but on its own, no.

Thanks, although please also test with it removed entirely. Anyone who has built a blocking TE with ~60 carrying can tell you that they don't break tackles either. It would take a very significant investment of skill points for a QB to break sack attempts regularly (10%+) even with very high strength. Speaking of which...

Has any thought been given to making break tackle WRs viable again? World League WRs with 600 or more receiving yards have 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0 broken tackles.

I'll look into testing these sometime in the future.

Any thought about making a slider for say pitch plays where the player goes deeper in the run to the sidelines before turning up field as opposed to cutting it short? Could be like a QB setting, (Open man)
Cut quickly, run to edge

I forgot to include the no suggestions rule - let's try and avoid asking Bort about these type of things please. Adding rule now.

I'm not sure how to address that if it's truly an issue. There are no restrictions or anything on strength, etc. I'm going to guess a lot of it just has to do with play design and WR's having not much strength. They do get a bonus to fakes right after a catch; I don't know if we would want to extend that to break tackle SA's as well. Could be a VA, I suppose.

Almost all the WR's that have >600 receiving yards aren't built to be BT receivers - still something I can look at though.

I saw a comment once from Bort that receivers have some sort of check vs confidence on 3rd & 4rth down to make a catch. Is it confidence or is it morale and is it checked in other situations also?

Confidence directly, or they get a penalty to the catch score. QB's have a similar check for throwing good passes.

Will GLB start using account e-mails more to promote offers (such as Black Friday Flex Sale) and upcoming new seasons to possibly lure back inactive users? (Not sure if you have already but I've never received such an e-mail like other businesses send me.)

We sent out an email a little while back to inactive accounts. We will likely do another soon, and when we launch new products. We don't really want to spam, though.

I did have an idea to send out some sort of daily or weekly status email a while back, but I think I looked at the numbers and it would probably end up being a LOT of emails, likely getting us blacklisted and such lol.

Maybe a monthly/quarterly status? I like that idea.

Would it be possible to give up a Free Player for Free CE. For example, everyone gets a free player, and accounts made before s30 (I think its s30) get another free player. Could we give up one free player to have free CE for the Free Player?

Probably not and:

4) This is not the forum or avenue to try and get a suggestion looked at or implemented. Please avoid asking questions that are suggestions.

Launch window for the next game. This quarter? Next quarter?

Our current work timeline has an alpha candidate hopefully around March-April-ish. As you know, there's always stuff that comes up, but our guys have been making pretty good progress recently.

With HOOD now gutting and resetting, does GLB have any plans for a farewell party or parade?

No.

Will lolbars ever apply to KR/PR archetypes?

You know, I've never really even thought about that. I could probably make a "returner" bar fairly easily and have it replace receiving or whatever. Special teamer archs have always sorta half-fit the current stats layouts in general.

No plans on changing this.

changing is not my question....just want to know when we all can adjust our ticket pricing above 1.50 for playoffs....always could at this time other seasons
