@ corndog - so now that i got this out of my system, what can we do to change this system? On the surface, it would seem to unnecessarily penalize the agents with players on the team, as well as the GMs/HC's etc if they are putting work in day to day to keep the team together/running.

Is there some criteria behind that process choice that we are missing? IS there a better way we can do this so that agents don't get overly frustrated and start demanding to leave, etc., even though the GM of the team is still active?

once the team is inactive you can accept offers from other teams
its meant to not penalize agents whose owners go inactive by forcing them to stay on a stupid team, but all cpu teams get run exactly the same, so once its a cpu team you dont get to play oop
and since you as the gm can take over the team, if you had done that at an earlier opportunity people might not have gotten frustrated and left
the system seems fine, but like lots of things on glb 2 it would be nice if there were a way to figure this out without having to ask in the forums, like a rules page that includes info on what to do with inactive owners, coaches, players etc, how many sp you can have saved when you sign a contract, a lot of the information on this page would probably be other places but it would help to have a consolidated source for all of it

^well you can't set up an ad so....


'Not a Free Agent

Sorry, this player is not a free agent. Only free agents (players without teams) or soon-to-be free agents may place ads in the marketplace.'

Believe it or not, you are your players agent. You're ultimately responsible for letting him sign with a bad team. There's ways out of it, with inactive teamers being able to sign elsewhere, but I think even that shouldn't be allowed.

Points at Dick isn't/wasn't a bad team. I know of many owners who don't coordinate at all in GLB Classic. It would be great if there was some way for coordinators to indicate that they're active if/when an owner goes inactive.

It's a bug, Corndog is aware - you're still technically a free agent, though. Teams can offer you a contract, so if you want to leave, put a thread in PLFT and see if anyone is willing to send an offer.

Man, we were a top 10 team all season, and spent a few games at #1. Wasn't about being a bad team. Simply about our owner going MIA, randomly.

We had this exact problem last season. very frustrating but support was eventually very helpfull to us, after some pleading!

one of the team i am on had problems with a HB returning punts who wasn't on the depth chart got them to delete the ST depth chart and make a new one and it worked last game (only one game so not 100% sure)

seems like maybe some changes made could gave corrupted the depth chart maybe? only bort knows and his messenger corndog

Team: Minnesota Fighting Pike

We only have one depth chart assigned for defense, and it's set as the default on the tactics "calender".

It's like the game takes the depth chart you have assigned, and throws it out the window and puts in whomever it wants.

**The vast majority of snaps taken at LDE were by LBs, and more specifically guys I have listed at either MLB or ILB.
The guys listed at LDE on the depth chart (2 guys) played a total of 26 plays on defense, and of those 26, only 9 were taken at LDE (the other 17 were at RDE).
DE Malik Sargent is listed as the starter at LDE, played 12 snaps on D, and of those 12, 7 were at LDE and 5 at RDE (not listed on the depth chart at RDE)
DE Darnell Kincade is listed as the backup at both LDE and RDE (LDE set to sub frequently, RDE set to sub sometimes). He played 2 snaps at LDE and 12 snaps at RDE.
Of the 60 total snaps the opposing team took on offense, 51 snaps had a LB lining up at LDE, and only 9 having the DEs assigned to that spot actually taking the snap in that spot.

Also noticed this problem, which isn't as major, but still a big annoyance.
*The FS and SS kept swapping positions, lining up the FS at SS and vice versa.

Can we please get the game to read the depth charts we have set up, and at least put someone listed at the position play the role in the game? It's hard to get any sort of pressure when the game is pulling a coverage LB and putting them into the DE slot.

Do you have any formation specific depth charts on the defence? I ask, because I have a blocking TE that I'm only using on STs, but he gets called to play at both BTE and TE at times. Then I looked at my Goal-line DC, and I have him in there at TE, so it must be calling him due to that.

The formation specific depth charts are all set up the same as the default depth chart (minus the extra positions - i.e. LILB and RILB listed at MLB). The only thing possible is the goalline dc, where because I only have 6 d-linemen, I might have the LBs listed.

If it's pulling the people from the goalline depth chart, when there are formation specific depth charts and default depth charts, this is definitely a bug and needs to be fixed.

I agree, it needs to be fixed. As a test to see if this is the problem, remove the LBers from the goalline DC, and see if it still does it.

The more info you have on the cause, the more likely it is to be fixed.

I created an entirely new depth chart, and only put people into the default one. Left all the formation specific ones blank. We'll see if this gets around the problem.

Now, if this happens to be the solution, then it's completely pointless for GLB to offer the other formation depth charts, as apparently they don't work correctly.

If you remember, way back in season 1, they had this problem when ST charts were filled. They fixed that one, so hopefully they'll fix this one too. Keep us informed of your test, mate.
