Have a question you want answered about anything regarding GLB? Ask here and we'll do our best to answer it in a reasonable amount of time.

Rules of this thread are simple:

1) All forum rules apply
2) Keep it on topic. Ask a question and wait for your answer. This is not an opinion thread, nor is it a place to question/attack other users.
3) Show respect to users asking questions. We want this thread to be a resource for users and a place where they can come without fear of facing forum trolls and personal attacks.
4) General Support related questions (i.e. general game play questions) should still be directed to Support. If I see questions of that nature, I will direct you to contact them.
5) Asking when we are going to add a feature to the game is not really a question. It's a question veiled as a suggestion. If you have a suggestion to make, please do so in the Suggestions forum. We will not answer these types of questions.

No there is not. People need to make conscious decisions when spending their bonus tokens on SA's.

Certainly we have, especially if we ever do the build from scratch thing (or even if we don't). It's just not high on priority list now. Probably something we could do as we exit beta or are close to doing so.

when we sell back AEQ, why do we only get refunded on the BTs spent to upgrade the piece? why not at least a partial refund on the BTs spent to buy the piece in the first place?


It's by design. It's easy enough to earn BT's and upgrade AEQ. We have to provide some type of disincentive to easily swapping out AEQ as it's not intended to be something that is easily changed. Moral of the story - when purchasing AEQ make sure it's something you are going to want to use and/or need to use.

follow up: is there a document out there somewhere that includes all of the information like this? if yes, where? if no, why not?


Fair question. No there is no official document that includes this. It's something we need to do and with the new dynamic FAQ system and the ability to actually edit/update FAQ's much more easily should be added soon.

Where is Bort? He used to hang out with us every once in a while...


He's in his basement busy at work. He still hangs out with us every once in a while but GLB feels his time is better spent working on developing the game and fixing issues rather than spending times in the forum. Digital Daggers is always around and willing to talk to people (his pm inbox is open) as am I (my pm inbox is also open) and all of the Support Admins.

i guess i'll ask, since i cant believe no one has yet.

hurdle, was it recently added as a popup in replays, or has it always been there.

It used to not show up until this season. It's supposed to show up now. It's pretty ineffective if you only have like 30 jumping or something, though, since it only applies on diving tackles (of which only a portion all tackles are), and requires jumping to work better.

also, is it hard ignoring a post that's been at the top of the main forum for 20 days? or has no one in charge read the main forum in that time span?
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4401065

just wondering.


I read it when it was initially posted, didn't see anything at first that merited a response. Didn't bother going back in the thread after that. If people have a question they want/need answered, you can always contact Support or myself via pm with a link to the question and we will do our best to answer it for you or find the answer from the correct person.

Are there any plans for leaving Beta?


Yes. Obviously proceeding slower than we would like but it's because we want to make sure we have the game as fully developed and as stable as possible before doing so.

I'd be interested hearing how Bort thinks real life players would map to GLB attributes. For instance, what would Tom Brady look like in GLB, or Brian Urlacher, etc? I think this sort of information should make it easier to newbies to build players.

Unfortunately, it's a real busy time for GLB right now. I'll try and get this answered the next Q & A thread that we do. Just didn't want you to think I was ignoring the question.

What is the plan for the transition to the revised DPC if that goes through.

How long will we be given to make new plays, before we can no longer use our old plays?
And what Season are you shooting for?


We're still shooting for season 20 but there are a few things we need to wrap up/work on before doing so (mainly working on some blocking logic problems). If it's not ready, we'll postpone the revised DPC release until season 21. We haven't really discussed a transition with old DPC plays. When we get to the point of rolling it out, we'll do so and try and come up with a way that is fair to everyone.

Will you ever do more testing for players that are not level 72 since the sim should be balanced for all leagues not just Pros and WL.


We already do. It mainly depends on what we are testing. For the passing changes that were implemented last season, we did do testing with some mid level players (<level 40) and made some adjustments based upon that testing (as well as preseason feedback). Realistically though, the end game builds are always going to take precedence in testing because that is when builds are at their most stable point.
