Alright so I know I've been posting alot of stuff, but they're all realistic things that could make a small impact on the overall game for the better.

This time its about the play contest. Many people input stuff that was good, but of course the big name GLB2 players were the ones who got the most play recognition in the end considering they were the most knowledgeable at the time. With the recent influx of newer guys who seem to be genuinely interested in the game and are actually spending time and flex on it, its only fair that we have another play contest and see the wide array of creativity we now have in the game.

Now I know, most plays would be bad, but there may be a gem or two, or even plays that look interesting and run well enough in the sim. This would first of all, gouge the interest of all users on glb2 which could kinda provide another spark to the game (with the first one being the slow return of old faces, including myself a few seasons ago) and it could also provide new users with the opportunity to be given a coordinating position

How would putting up a play cause someone to hire you as a coordinator? Well it would be about the philosophy; someone could really like where a player is going and potentially offer them a position to see how their creativity would matchup in an actual sim. Now whether that person is actually hired throughout a full season is left up to the people on the team. But still, its a possibility.

And with the ever changing meta and new creative ways people are building their dots, its time we added a few more plays on both sides of the ball to dabble with. Using the same defensive plays will only get you so far, even if your team is built to fit a particular scheme.

Its a nice bit of fun could potentially result in something good, which could shut up a few people for a while (like GE when he creates 40 zone plays and not one of them even gets a second look ). At the end of the day, it doesn't even have to be about flex. We'll have the fact that we made a contribution to the game that we're proud of, and even if people don't get their play chosen they'll still be able to work their creativity (which is something that is increasing among the user base which is good).

P.S: If it does happen lets have a real voting system because some of the plays that the more well known guys made last time (which made it of course) are pretty trash against most plays. Once you find a play that exposes their weakness your golden. I'm not sure if people even still use them either to be completely honest.

I'm all for this, but I have to disagree that only known guys got plays picked... I hadn't been around long and they picked my 3-4 Tiger Blitz and 5-2 Tiger Blitz plays. The 3-4 Tiger gets used a lot and works well IMO.

Good play and ideas. I've been trying to find ways to fit the 5-2 blitz in. Just doesn't seem to work for me.

Works against Big I counter and toss left.

Wait, you are the creator of the 3-4 tiger blitz? The rookie/soph sack machine...

Yeah, you can't see my name on the art because the "Blitz" tag at the bottom covers it up.
