Sorry Josh, but...

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.

Any plans of allowing us to customize even more our own stadiums without having to go through greasemonkey scripts?

Has Bort thought of speeding up player building anymore?


We've put together an initial plan. Just need to sit down and go over it in depth and figure out implementation.

Thanks for bringing that up,

Are you going to reduce the age based league on higher leagues? Or are you going to try to accelerate player development?


The latter. By accelerating player development, there'll be less league levels because everyone will reach their peak at a younger age.

In a Goal to Go situation, does Mr. First Down VA fire for the goal line the same as if it's the first down marker?

Maybe it seems like a dumb question, but I seem to recall a while back a change that counted touchdowns as first downs for statistics purposes, so I wonder if touchdowns also count as first downs for VA purposes. I submitted to support and got a very vague answer, so I just wanted to see if I could get a definitive answer.


This is a good question


Bort
April 2, 2011

Question: Does Mr. First Down VA work for the end zone? (In football statkeeping, touchdowns count as first downs. Not sure if they do in GLB, let alone specifically as it pertains to this VA)

Answer: Yes, it should actually.

*edit*
Per Bort Stalker on Wiki. You fellas should check it out once in awhile.

Will there be any changes for casual coming up soon?


No more changes planned in the near future. Like I said earlier, we will be adding the same options for defense that are available for option once we have more preset defensive plays to work with.

May I ask what the ramifications of your initial idea, not the full plan, but just an idea.


When it's finalized, we'll provide more detailed information. I went over the very basic premise on the radio show the other work. Essentially we're going to be converting existing players to the equivalent age of the new system. Player life cycle will be shortened by approximately 9-12 months. Still a lot of things we have to account for so sorry I can't give you a more in depth answer.

Does catch22 get benefits like health insurance and paid hollidays along with vacation through GLB? Is his job a 9 to 5 er or does he just clock in and clock out when on the site and off the site? Also how many Admins are paid staff with real money?

PS, why I ask? because I'm nosey


Can't really answer this other then the part about the 9 to 5. I don't have to clock in and clock out, but I do have responsibilities and expectations that I am expected to meet as well as a very lengthy project list that I am always working on. I work WAY more hours than 40 though. Of that part I am certain.

Are you considering any changes to the structure of the uncapped leagues to try and improve competitiveness in National and Regional Pro leagues?


We've discussed them. Just have not decided one way or the other if we are going to make any changes.

why are dots more likely to drop wide open catches then ones in triple coverage?


I'm fairly confident that's not the case. By all means provide examples/links showing me numerous games where this is the case and we'll do something about it.

Have there been any talks, any talks at all about revamping or removing ALGs? Does Bort and Co. even think this is a movable issue?


No, there have been no talks about revamping/removing ALG's. The only way we could ever do that is to reset the game (you might think it' possible to do it without resetting the game but it'd be a logistical nightmare) and I know that's not something that we are considering. That and I honestly don't believe that Bort wants to do anything to them, so even if it were possible I doubt he'd do it.

If I show up to Portland with a dozen roses will that be enough to get DD's attention? Should I bring filet mignon, too? Diamonds? Movies? Any help is greatly appreciated Catch!


DD's easy. Food. Drink. Sporting Event. Do those three and you're in.

What are glb's plans to keep the population of agents growing?


We're working on and have implemented a couple of things already that will help in this regard with the Facebook App and the upcoming iPhone app. Once the game is ready to move out of Beta, we will likely advertise more as well.

Have we done comprehensive testing and analysis of all VAs to examine and compare their effectiveness and whether they are over powered? If not, is this planned for the near future? Can we expect more changes in VA power and abilities?


Outside of whatever testing Bort initially did when the VA's were created and testing done by testers on the test server when VA's have been added/changed, no we have not. No this is not planned for the near future. We do continually keep an eyes on VA's that might cause an imbalance in the game (hence some of the changes this past off season) and work to correct those as needed. We'll continue to do that.

Why did you mix the league forums together?


GLB felt it was better to keep the forums open to encourage players/teams that were grouped by similar age talking amongst one another. With the continual demotion/promotion between the Elite/Competitive/Normal leagues and the GLB tournaments, we feel it helps foster a larger community and knowing what is going on in leagues other then just your own.
