Did you see how bad those 10 rush plays were? =0 Cincy has the best Run D in the league. Nobody runs on them. This was intended.

Sign ups for the replacement Gurupies (a farm team that will be trained to replace the current Gurupies) are starting right now. If you are interested in joining and are a current Gurupie go to the team's forum. If you are a Gurupie who isn't in GLB go to this link and sign up. If you have questions about the Gurupies, builds, or anything please feel free to e-mail me and ask questions. If I don't know the answer I'll ask another one of the Gurupies.
And if any current Gurupie ruins my chance to get referrals I'll be angry, because I havn't gotten 1 referral yet. And I bought the original team! :)

Actually ChicagoTRS what we're looking for is brand new players just created in season 3. Then they'd take advantage of the season 3 boost, and not boost until the end of the season in season 4, 5, and so on, until we needed to replace the current Gurupie squad.
If you are unhappy with the PT those 2 players are getting I could check with my other team (a Level 13 cap league team just now being released) to see if we could use them. I know we're short on DTs. I'll drop you a message on GLB.

I've placed my QB with an expansion team, and we could use some players. Level 13 capped league. They just got their team awarded last night, so they are a day or two behind in recruiting.
PM me at 'Species' on GLB if interested. Starting positions needed.

Anyone that wants on this team, no matter what level your player is (under the 13 cap) is welcome. And frankly Kyle i'm kind of ticked that you were sending people away from a team you have had no part in, but I digress.
Anyone will be used on this team and will get as many plays as the sim allows (considering it doesn't always do what you want it to each game). If you're a 4 and there is also a 10 at your position it isn't going to stop you from getting plays. Any questions ask away.

Okay my bad - I assumed all or most of the new Gurupie farm team would be those level 4/5's that were created on/near the last day of season 3. I did the same thing as Kyle (stating there's an expansion team I'm on and could use levels 10-13) but wouldn't take away from the Gurupie team.

Well that kind of sucks as I would have much preferred to be on a Gurupie team...I just signed my two DL with another team yesterday. Seems like a good team but my playing time seems a bit questionable with higher level players ahead of me.
I have a level 1 receiver...if you would like him on your team. I had kind of planned to D league him for his first season...and leave him unboosted and hopefully get to level 13 unboosted and sign with 13 capped team next year and then boost to 16...and then boost to 19 once season 5 started.

Does anyone own a team and stock it with all of their own players? How much would the initial setup cost be and per season maintenance?
I would like to have my WR on the new team.

For some reason we did not kick a FG to end the 1st half when we were on the 10 yard line.
Then in the 3rd quarter 5:17 we went for it instead of attemping a 50 yard fg
Then with 4:28 in the 3rd we went for it on 4th down from the 30
I dont understand the sim.

The silliest part is who the sim screwed up again...even though we had the settings to run 70 times and only pass 30 times. Someone needs to address this with Bort, and get it fixed right away!

good luck with this guys.
there were a slew of problems with the first games, including substitution patterns.
when Bort was asked about what GMs and owners should tell their team members who didn't get into the game and were pissed off about it, his response was "Tell them it was a bug!"

With all these bugs that are being talked about, considering its a BETA game, and we are the testers, should we be paying money to play? Don't testers usualy get paid to test out BETA products, either through money or other free incentives?

Nobody is holding a gun to my head when I go to the store to buy a gallon of milk either.
But when I get it home and it pours out in clumps do I not have the right to recieve what I paid for?
Or Am I just supposed to take "Sorry...we are beta testing new milk processing.....and it was a bug....or two"????

that's a bad argument.
if you don't pay, you can't really be competitive. heck, you can't even own a team if you don't pay.
the point is, if there are bugs, instead of dismissing it and moving on, more should be done. the bug was enough to have an effect on the outcome of games - it was the first game of the season, so it could have been rolled back.

The question for everyone then becomes, would you rather play with the stuff you've bitched about in the past or with new stuff when it's trying to be fixed?
Do you buy computer games that have bugs? Yes, then they get patched and a new set of flaws are found.
Do you buy Cereal that have bugs? Yes, and they is a limit to how many there can be in each cup.

Hey we're getting something for free for beta testing the game, 100 free flex points every 40 days... That's $3 I've gotten or about 1.5% of what I've put into the game, so far.

but generally speaking, you're not continuing to pay for the game when you purchase it.
if there are bugs, they should fix those before rolling out new features.

And then more bugs will crop up. At what point do you roll it out? This isn't some giant company spending millions of dollars to bring out a product that's crisp and clear with graphics. And like I said even then there are always issues. What about Microsoft with their roll out's of OS's? Or Apple with their issues on the 3G IPhone roll out. This is an MMO and those cost monthly fee's to play them, so what makes this any different if you're interested in boosting players and creating more?

Punk, I agree with you that there will never be a perfect product and it is unreasonable for us to demand perfection.
However, there is a big gap between demanding perfection and getting "sorry it's a bug".
The games that ran in the morning had players with energy in the 60's.
The fix for them was that Bort was going to add 10 energy points to all those players so they could train on relaxed and get back to 100.
Bort then made a change to the energy settings which made it so players in the evening games could be on the field for the entire game and lose very little energy.
This caused players who are backups to see little or no time....and more importantly...no XP.
There was no fix offered for these players...only a "sorry....its a bug".
For our team it meant that our depth advantage was totally rendered useless because the other team's starters could remain on the field at full strength.
I dont know that there was a viable solution to this as re-simming games would have caused a huge uproar in cases where the outcomes were different.
As for the problems/bugs that Indy experienced I cannot say.
We asked for more control over our play calling and it was given.
Are the problems a result of teams using them incorrectly or the SIM doing the opposite of what is being set?
I do know that the team that punted from the 9 yard line has a legitimate beef if it was the fault of a bug.
