Have a question you want answered about anything regarding GLB? Ask here and we'll do our best to answer it for you. We will keep this thread open until 3/16/2011 and then will lock it up so that we can get the questions answered.

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.
6) All off topic posts and questions will be deleted in order to keep the thread organized and focused solely on the questions.

what is the likelihood the new plays for the offense are added in time for season 22?

Not going to happen. I mentioned season 25 earlier as a more realistic time line. We'll try and do it sooner and it's possible we could have it done by season 23 or 24 but it definitely won't be in time for season 22.

Is GLB currently working on more offensive formations? ie Double TEs or 4 wide or wishbone or some version of a flexbone

SK

See above answer. Short answer is yes. Not sure we'll do any new formations but we'll look some plays over and see if they are viable.

Why do we keep making more leagues? Is there extra demand?

Also, despite plateau extension there STILL seems to be a major shortage of fully boosted players aged 400-560 days old. Any reconsideration of shortening the player building cycle? Please?

We make leagues based upon the demand for new teams each season. We don't make new leagues at the higher levels.

And still no reconsideration of shortening the player building cycle. Try pm'ing DigitalDaggers if you really want to discuss the whys of this.

What is the criteria for bringing a suggestion up to the voting page?

There have been tons of suggestions that are actually very good, but never make it to the voting stage.

Example: I had a suggestion that was stagnant in the suggestion forum for over a month. I put the suggestion up due to the bugs team telling me my issue was not a bug but a suggestion for the game. For a month I kept bumping the issue up to the first page of the suggestion forum trying to get it put to a vote. The only reason why it even was moved to voting was because I started bitching in other threads, and sent a message to an admin.



There is no set criteria other then a Moderator or Admin needs to think the suggestion has value and makes sense to add to the game. We've recently had a discussion with Moderators that these need to be limited and not every suggestion get put up for a vote. However, if you see a Suggestion that merits consideration you can always ask a Moderator to look it over and they will review it along with the other Moderators and Admins.

Are there any plans to simplify player creation? The number of options is pretty large and just gives inexperienced players more ways to fall behind.

No plans. We have been working on adding a number of FAQ's to help inexperienced players shorten the learning curve and will continue to work on things that will help them out as they get started with the game.

Was something revised that will not allow the AI package transfer script to work? It stopped working about two days ago.

We don't deal with GM scripts. I would imagine that it had something to do with the user owned defensive plays changes.

Any talks of doing a 2nd re-sort by lvl right before the new season starts (day -8)? I think it would be the best bet to create competitive leagues and cut back on the 255-0 games.

No, Bort has stated that we will not do a 2nd re-sort. We will probably discuss some things about how leagues are sorted soon though and I will try and mention some of the problems the current methods have.

The SA description is, "The QB can use the Look Off ability to fake out...", so how come Look Off isn't helped by Fake %? Will this be fixed (either by making Fake % help it or by updating the description)?

Just the way the SA is designed. Not sure how you would reword it and there is no plan on making Fake % help.

Will there be any changes/updates for Casual league anytime soon?

None immediate. We are probably going to add an option to allow two QB spies soon rather then just one. I know Bort said he would do that, just a matter of him getting to it.

Have all of the issues with Chemistry not being deducted correctly been fixed? I feel like it hasn't when looking at the number of teams.

If you see there is an issue with this, contact Support. They will look into it and assist you. If it turns out to be a bug, they will contact me and we'll correct it.

the pancake to revcake ratio seems a little out of whack. Is all how it should be?

Yes.

what's the progress on the frozen lazer bug? even a temporary fix like being able to turn off a player's ability to shout i'm open would be something right now.

also is blitzers occasionally freezing when rushing against screens on your radar as far as needing attention?

#1 - it's been filed so it's just a matter of when Bort/programmers fix.

#2 - that's by design and working as intended.

Is there serious plans to abolish XP's and go "even-steven" with game experience across the board?

Not at this time no.

The World League Survivor contest is so big each season, any chance we may have the same thing for each PRO league as well? With a smaller prize though? Im sure a representative from each league would be willing to do it.

Individuals can run their own contests but GLB will not sponsor them as we are limited in the number of rewards points we will hand out each season.
