Mr moose. Pretty sure bpn has the most fame


It goes by most fame this season, which would go to WSI.


Of course...they need extra boosts more than anyone else, you know.

Another good idea in theory, but poorly implemented.

Basically, this.

Why not allow players to use the additional activity each day to Go shopping, have no activity, or work for an endorsement deal? Give each player an XP meter for endorsement deals, and give the endorsement gear a certain level. This would reflect the player spending their extra time doing ads for the company, acting as a spokesperson at events, etc. Gives the player more choice in what they can do from day to day. Also make it so doing an endorsement 'training' gives you one endorsement token (require 20 to level up gear) and a small amount of money.

Anything outside of the random based on fame, which will benefit those that put up huge stats against gut jobs while hurting those that don't have gutjobs in their league.

Should make that post in Suggestions, imo.

Yep, you really can't make a suggestion without getting either spammed, flamed for making a "bad" suggestion, or just losing a thread because of people who just want to destroy every thread. Then you in turn get banned for remaking a locked thread even though it wasn't your fault the thread got locked.

I think it'll end up being more novelty than anything else. Cash bonus + some sort of gear ... unless it's some kind of jet pack or helmet laser, I'm betting the pieces themselves won't have much impact. Will be fun to see who gets them, though.

Mr. Moose is only in favor of endorsement deals if it help him exploit Cook Island's defense with gimmicky plays.

I wonder, can you get an endorsement, then just leave O-Pro to go join another team/league and keep the endorsement?

If a piece gives one player +5 speed or +15% chance to pull off an elusive move, that will have a big effect on the game, since the player has to give up nothing for it.

But really, McGruff got it right. I just want to exploit cook island with pitch plays, and am not in favor of anything that doesn't involve doing that.

It's going to really suck when 1 of my players gets an endorsement deal and then is promptly demoted to AAA...

in general, i like the idea, but it will make the rich, richer - the spoils of war, baby!

i also would like some sort of team award (each team gets 1) where the owner and GM's can give it out to a player on the team as recognition for their season. even a team that went 3-13 has some promising players and it could be used as an incentive to retain players.

I love how people will bitch and whine about anything, even if they have to make shit up to bitch and whine about.

You're all acting like WSI is going to get 100% of the endorsement equipment, even though we have absolutely no indication how much fame weights things. You're also conveniently ignoring the fact that salaries play a role in fame. Pay your guys more and they get more famous. It's not pure field performance. And, even if it was, scrimmages and player-run tournaments don't count towards fame, so WSI isn't that far ahead of CCC, SoCal, BPN, or the Heat. Then there's the role awards play in fame. WSI doesn't own all the awards. Actually, I only count 3 first place awards for WSI.

Now, if it does turn out that they get 90% of the endorsements, then you'd have something to complain about. Right now it's all a tempest in a teakettle - pure imagination.

I love Zurai, didn't realize you had players on the Convicts.

Also didn't realize you had the QB that the Dictators played yesterday, small world.

For my part, I have my hands full trying to keep up with the stuff I already know about.

I agree with this. No sense bitching about this now. From what I understand this is going to be a lottery based on the amount of fame you gained during the season. I'm assuming you get one chance per fame point. I'm thinking kind of like the NBA Lottery. Every player gets an entry for each fame point thrown into the pool and a name is chosen at random.

haven't been paying attention to how much fame players have been getting, but it can't be that much. Fame was introduced this season and the most famous players had around 1200 or so (I know that's not exact.) That's an average of around 200 or so a season. .

So if HB gained 400 fame in a season, that is still FAR from a guarantee. That's a 400 chances in this "lottery" When you factor every other back's fame increase from the season into this pool, even a gain of a 400 fame in a season isn't going to give a great shot at an endorsement. There are at least 64 hbs in this league. If every HB in the league only gained 100 fame (1/4 of the example) That's 6400 chances thrown into the pool. That's a 1/16 chance he gets an endorsement. It's still a better shot then all the other HB's, but far from a sure thing.
