#1 - I've been working with the DPC Cover Options thing a lot, discussed here:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2914543
Bort uploaded some new code that has the MLB work with continuous vision checks throughout the play instead of just one pass/fail one, and it's working a lot better. Testing is nearly finished on this.

#2 - Obviously the Big One this week was finding the bug with Mentor that was causing all of that crazy erratic behavior on KR/PR and a few other things. Either way it's fixed now.

#3 - Mentioned the "Exploit" to Bort about only paying players every 3 days, and he uploaded a fix for that. Basically if your bank is empty, it will pull cash from your EQ fund or auto-refunds your purchased stadium sections to pay the players now.

#4 - RAPB brought up a bug where the LT is running to the other side of the field to block the RT when the RDE is lined up too far outside. Bort has uploaded a fix to this on the test server and we are testing it now.

#5 - Talk about the World League, I think this idea of Gart's (re-posted by turnit643) is basically how it's going to end up working:

As usual with these posts, nothing is set in stone though, so things may change.

#6 - The 300 Speed player for Deathblade's test that was discussed in this topic:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2963972
Get to around pages 40 and on for the important stuff.

#7 - More New Plays have been added, check the post here for details:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2885852

#8 - And some more of the fancy new website stuff that's coming out. We can't talk about it much except to tell you that it is all very, very cool stuff.

As always, you can see the actual test games being run here:

Very cool. great job.

Smartass

Fixed.

Ha, makes things more interesting.

Any talk about making player weight affect physical skills yet? Or possibly even my suggestion I made months back about player diversity? I know the first had some steam built up, but the 2nd idea wasn't ever really discussed amongst mods

Well, player weight DOES affect players now, it's just not that much. I've especially noticed it with HBs, actually.

But past that, no, there isn't really any ongoing discussion with it.

Eh, bigger fish to fry right now, I suppose.


With the new offensive play book being expanded, has there been any work, or TALK of work on the OPC? While the 300 speed WR stuff was amusing, I'd be happier with being able to CHOOSE my own routes. Of course, bringing out completely new playbooks would be a problem, which is why I made a suggestion about play 'knowledge', much like NFL Head Coach.

Its been talked about, but I would be very surprised if we see it kn the game anytime soon, there is simply too many potential problems.

Such as?

I liked the simple approach:

- Select Formation
- Select Routes/Running Lane
- Select Drop (If Applicable)
- Select Primary Receiver (If Applicable)

Then, adding some sort of "practice" that can be done each day to increase "Play Knowledge" would be helpful. The basic plays that are already in the playbook would always be at 100%, though. Make low knowledge result in poor rolls, increasing dropped passes, missed blocks, etc.

Time for another one of these.

This would be very cool. Coaches could allow players to learn different plays faster.

maybe he meant to say every 2 week kind of thing?
