Isn't the point of the game to bring in more players? Making the game a little faster, easier is how you bring new blood in.

I agree...just pointing out Osiris view point. Nice work Stobie.

not true - because without all of that previous hard work watching film, people won't know how to counter things. The film watching is good for finding tendencies and for studying and learning the game. That step: studying and learning the game cannot be skipped.

This will help a lot. This will cut down on time.

If it does anything though - it will create more copycat offenses because it will be easy to see in a few seconds what plays Queen City runs on offense and defense and then plug them in. My opinion is that this will make everyone slightly better (both the good and the bad) who uses it.

Your not kidding you put a lot of time into this. Looks like this has come a long way from release .12 I wasn't sure if this was going to be for all the agents. Nice job!

GLB1 had this tool already so all I have done is provide it for GLB2, but since I am not part of WG nor am I funded by WG, I cannot provide this for free because I do have overhead to maintain it and continue the development to add new tools and functions.


So using your new tool is going to require some sort of subscription?

Yes it will, due to the fact of overhead to keep this data without having to constantly scrape GLB's site.

However, just porting over Queen City's offense will not do most teams much good (some, sure), because most teams don't have the builds QCB has. Their great blocking O-line, their backs built for counters. Your team and my team can probably both do it effectively, but teams with less coordinated build plans on the line, teams with worse caps, probably won't seem anywhere near as awesome.

But it does improve the baseline, brings everyone up (like you say), and makes the game better.

I like cutting scouting time and all but I feel it is going make teams use bigger packages and alter their schemes quite a bit now that everything is so exposed. There are more gray areas actually watching games, at least for me.


Good coordinators already were going to figure out your schemes if they are that predictable. It just cuts down on scouting time that was already going to be done anyways.

lazy people (coordinators) will still be lazy.

It would be on the same schedule of a GLB2 season. I haven't hit a price yet, but I am curious what does the community think? I am more focused right now on the tool and then when I got it finished I was going to start finding out what the break even point was, but hard to do without knowing an interest level so possibly could come to a point, I am not a greedy person, many know this about me already. But if I feel the price point is too high due to interest, then I will lower it the next season. My goal is not to make money, but rather cover the expenses and some of the labor that I have put into it.

I think your best bet would be to do a 3 month subscription. I know I am not going to want to have to remember to pay it based on GLB. Every off-season start of the season is when i'm busiest anyway.

I just feel like true competitive ppl wont really want to purchase it when they can do it themselves..you may want to consider that.

Im no throwing shade or trying to be popular but i feel that you should sell it you want but some may just say...well i could do this on my own as far as not needing a script after a while

I fully would expect that, but I will say the owners/co-ordinators that I know that are uber competitive would want this tool as another edge because, yes they will spend the time watching replays, but what some might have missed with this tool is that I target the replays you might want to watch. This will allow them to do what they do today but at a fraction of the time they spent before and in a much more target manner.

For instance, you want to see all the 1st down plays with more than 2 min remaining to help eliminate blowouts and altered gameplans, so you get your play list doing that. Then based on that you can click the replays link and it will populate all the replays that fit this criteria as well for that specific play so you can watch them directly rather than scouring a game to find the plays your looking for.

Not only that, there are other features/products that will be added to the membership of the program. I don't plan on stopping here, I only plan on future enhancements and features to be added.
