Postgame News Conference:
"Hi, I'm Mike Chappell from the Indianapolis Star...Jumbo, what happened on that controversial 3rd and goal?"
Jumbo - (slams down water bottle) That was f^&*(ing bu&(*&t I tell you. We got in. I don't know whats wrong with thems replay system, but Moose got his self across that line man. You've seen the replay!"
Mike - "What happened on that block, it was your guy who made the play?"
Jumbo - "Nah he didn't. Well, yeah he did, but not in time! We got in! I blocked my guy and was moving on to get the next guy, I didn't see him. Maybe I did let him go to early, but I was already goin on in there and gettin the next guy so we could score there. And we did. Watch it."
Mike - "But the ref's say no."
Jumbo - "Mama always said if you ain't got nothin nice to say, say somethin else...he had nice thick glasses. Stop pickin on me, go talk to our idiot kicker."

Baloo Henn, postgame press conference
Rough game today, eh?
"Well y'know, I'm just happy to be here. I'm going to take it one day at a time and the good lord willing, we can win a few ballgames."
Can you speak about the missed field goals?
"You have to just feel for Franz, don't you? I mean, the guy doesn't have any groupies and he goes out and glavines it like that. It's sad, but he's a tough fella, and he'll figure it out."
You seemed to be involved in every play on the field today.
"The coaches always say that if we work hard, we'll be able to find a way to make things happen. I'm happy I was able to contribute - it felt good to pitch in with two tackles. Anyone can score a touchdown when it's thrown to them, but it's the little things that win games."
How do you feel about the team going forward?
"We're a young team, but that just makes us hungrier. No team ever goes undefeated, so all you can do is put yourself in a position to win. Right until the last minute today, we had a shot, and that's all you can ask for."

Postgame News Conference (Just after Dumbo's)
Mike - "Jumbo says that you were at fault for the game, and that we should talk to you"
Franz - "I've told Jumbo to his face before to learn how to block, we were 2nd and goal from the one, and on that third down he flat out gave up. It's amazing he tells me that I 'cockblock' all the females when we goto the clubs, which I might do, but just like the club he's not able to finish, it's a problem that the whole coaching staff is working on. I'm not saying that we didn't get in when you look at the replay, but if that that fat dumbass had blocked for half a second longer we win the game, simple as that"
Mike - "Well you did miss a chipshot"
Franz - "Yeah yeah, I did and at least I'll be a man and won't deflect a whole lot of blame unlike my 'uber sized teammate', I flat out missed it, I will be kicking those shots all week at practice, and I promise you it will never happen again."

Big Nelly's Press Conference
So Mr. Nelly..
Big Nelly, not Mister, "Mister" Reporter
Sorry, tell us about the failed goal line drive
Shiiiiii, I was blocking trying to create dat hole for Moosey, and Jumbs had his man locked up. We both seemed to think Moosey got over dat line and Jumbs went to high five him. Well man that @$$hole come and tackles Moosey. And that little zebra comes in and calls him down. Well Jumbs and I weren't hearing that so we're going to find that scrawny arse and we gonna mess him up.
...Ronnie you got da bat? Alright...
That's a warning buddy!

(Coach Joe Thomas steps to the podium obviously distraught after a tough loss in the season opener.)
Coach Thomas: We'll we lost a tough one today. I thought are team played well today, but we came up short in the end. I thought we had a lot of positives we can build off of today, but a few negatives that we need to correct. I will now field any questions you may have.
Indy Star Beat Writer: Coach Thomas, Jeff Wilson Indy Star. Joe Roto was 6/18 118 yards and 2 interceptions. Care to comment on his terrible 35.1 rating? Do you think he was nervous with this being the home opener for an expansion franchise? Is there a possibility he will be benched?
Coach Thomas: Joe Roto is our Quarterback. He will start next weak against New Orleans. He did have a tough game today. I think he missed quite a few open reads and looked a little slow in the pocket today. There might have been some butterflies today, but overall I don't think that is the problem. We will rectify these errors in practice tomorrow and hopefully he will have a better showing next week. I did think he did some things well today. I thought he was getting into a grove and had a very good 2 minute drill going right before the half. I believe he completed 3 straight passes and moved us down field quick, but unfortunately we ran out of time.
ESPN Reporter: You seemed to get beat a lot today by the passes underneath. Was the gameplan to stop the big play and allow the underneath passes? Also Joe Shutdown seemed to be their target today. Was there any thought of pulling him?
Coach Thomas: We didn't give up the big play today and yes that was our focus. We just need to do a better job of reading the underneath play and reacting better before they execute the play. They did target Shutdown today, but I feel it was because our other 2 CB Stagnowski and McPickster did a great job today in limiting there matchup. There was no thought of pulling him. We are rather weak at the CB position and we feel he is in the correct position on the depth chart. All in all I thought our defense played good enough to win the game. We only gave up 13 points. You are supposed to win those games. Unfortunately we did not put enough points on the board.
RotoWire Reporter: Quick Williams had a great game today. Was your focus on running the ball?
Coach Thomas: We are a running team. Quick did do a great job today. Our offensive line opened a lot of holes for him today. I expect Quick to have a hell of a year. I also felt our Line did a great job of pass protecting also. They didn't give up any sacks today.
The Times Reporter: On the last drive of the game you started at your own 45. There were 59 seconds to move the ball 55 yards and you had 2 timeouts. Why 4 straight passes? You seem to be moving the ball well all day. Why not try to run a delay or something?
Coach Thomas: We didn't want to get stuffed on a run and waste a timeout. Maybe calling a run there could have been a good option, but we feel our passing game could have got the job done. Unfortunately they did not. We hope in the future under the same circumstances we can get the job done.
Yahoo Sports: 2 missed FG's seemed to be the difference today. What happend? To miss a 19 yard FG seems inexcusable.
Coach Thomas: Franz Beckenbauer is a good kicker. Sometimes it just doesn't go through the uprights. It was very windy today and both of his kicks were into the wind. Ultimately he didn't get the job done and needless to say he will be kicking the ball every minute of practice.
Indy Star: You seem to have a tough matchup against New Orleans next week. Do you anticipate any depth chart changes?
Coach Thomas: Me and my staff need to go over the tape. If there are any changes in the depth chart they will be minimal.
GLB.COM News: You didn't have any sacks today and didn't seem to get any pressure on Death from Above all game. They seemed to have a weak offensive line going in. Why do you think there was a lack of pressure?
Coach Thomas: We were focused on stopping the run and did that very well today. We held them to 2.4 YPC. Skip Hicks was held to 29 yards rushing today. We wanted to stop the run and we did it well. Once again I will say I thought our Defense played well enough to win the game. We just didn't put up enough points today. That's it for today gentlemen. I will be back tomorrow for comments on next weeks game against New Orleans.

I have done a Play by Play analysis for every play in the 1st quarter. I hope to finish the whole game tomorrow. This is quite a process and takes alot of time, but I think it will be beneficial in seeing what our specific players need to work on and if our strat is right. I will post chart when I am done tomorrow

So Quick Williams has just become one of the top draft picks in many poolies fantasy drafts. How does that feel Quick?
Quick Williams
Quick Williams loves being Quick Williams on a day like this. We should have won that game, but like the old coach always says, Peanut Butter with a $50 bill is better than a a slice of cheese, if you know what Quick Williams is saying.
Yahoo Sports
So you think your team has a shot at the playoffs this year then Quick?
Quick Williams
First of all, its Quick Williams. Williams like the tennis players. Quick like me leaving leaving a bar filled with all wing man's nightmare ugly stickers. You know what Quick Wiliams is telling you, eh? (Quick smiles) Secondly, with the way that O-Line is looking at their Quick Williams Rolexes, this team will be in the playoffs before you can say The Iraq is in the Middle East. Yeah, Quick Williams likes to get political too, Quick Williams ain't just a football guy. We have a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money too, you know what Quick Wiliams is saying? Yeah, you do.
Yahoo Sports
Well, thanks Quick Williams, and good luck in Game 2.
Quick Williams
You can print this poster board material and put Quick Williams' name on it: We are going to win our next game, like the pantyhose football dude said something like 50 years ago, Quick Williams guarantees it.

Wey and I have been working together to maximize profits. having different prices and attendances (we have more seats and were able to even build a few more today) we've been able to compare concessions and ticket prices and help out both teams. Finding the optimal prices is obviously the goal. Of course there are other factors such as losing games hurts prices. Still we both lost our first game so we should be on even keel and can still share things and with our spread sheet we've been able to track and compare on a per fan basis.

NOTE FROM THE OWNER:
If you wish, boost. Boost how ever much you want. Boost 'em if you got 'em. If you want help on what you think you should apply your points to after you boost shoot me an e-mail. I'm at work right now but I'll be at a comp all day to answer questions. If you don't wish to boost but have questions, shoot me an e-mail.
ALSO ALSO:
Signing up for g-mail and being able to chat on there is great. They have the ability to have group chats (better than AIM's chatroom) and is very useful. Last night we had a room of about 8 of us talking about the game and strategy. Nothing really came from it other than these guys are better than us right now, but it was nice to hear from people other than myself. It's free, it's easy, and it's fun! (Sorry G-mail just sponsered the team, so I had to plug them once. :-P) (G-Mail didn't really sponser us, but how cool would it be to have sponserships?)
Yep that's all from me.

yea, it's currently set on auto adjust. i guess we need to stop doing that.
the other problem is that i still think the kicking game is an issue, and i think the fact that a shared backfield doesn't seem to be working.
i'm also confident that come next game, once our new OC has come in and made his changes to the tactics, we'll be fine.

we're also having these absurd punts of 20 yards, which is killing us in field position.

From the FAQ Personnel thread:
19. How useful is the auto tactic adjustment?
-----a. Once again this is all a matter of opinion. But the way the auto tactic adjustment works is that it will alter your team’s gameplan based upon which plays are successful and which ones aren’t. You can adjust the severity of the change on a scale of 0-100.
-----b. While this sounds like a great idea, the AI can auto adjust to the point where it completely disregards your gameplan, so be careful on how you use it if you do choose to. And you should probably tweak the settings as you go along.

Well I believe you have to buy at least 1 Skill point for 100 Flex to upgrade it at level 8 for the SA Tree. And then you are able to keep upgrading the # of points until you hit 6. Not really sure about how to go about it since I got all 6 at once.

To everyone was that was looking for a way to view the games before you see the score....
View This Thread
Follow instructions. Someone built a script. Pretty cool stuff.
Be aware Owner or GM's since our page is a little different it will show score under where it says MY GM'D Teams. So basically you going to have to try and not view that part and scroll down and clock on the link next to your player where it says score hidden.
BTW, you have to use Firefox for this to work.

i think you have to look at how low your energy is after a game.
i would suggest most of our players - because they have such low stamina - should train on relaxed at the highest - during the season.

Tree or Weykool,
Someone has requested a trade from the A squad to the B squad. I'll get something proposed to you.
This player is not disgruntled or upset about lack of playing time. They feel as if their skills are hurting the team and that it would be best if they trained with the RGB Berzerk. Thanks guys!

Question for those who might know:
I have 5 skill points I want to spend this morning before my team's game. I go to "spend skill points" and the levels listed for a few categories are not what I see on my guy's main page. Any category that is blue on my guy's page is showing up differently on the spend skill points page.
What's the cause of that and how would that effect me spending them?

So those categories in blue are only higher when equipped with that stuff? only a temporary upgrade as long as you are wearing the shoes or gloves etc? Interesting.
I've been building stamina every day, cause from what I read... the more stamina you have, the more plays you get. And the more plays you get, the more XP you acquire by breaking the level thresholds. and the more experience you acquire, the quicker you can improve elsewhere.

Kyle:
I will need to talk to you tonight about an overall plan.
Right now we have a trade pending for the player you want.
It would be a chance for us to upgrade to a L11 HB.
At some point Berzerk needs to think about winning some games.
It wont do any good if we go 0-16 and cant sell any tickets next season.
We need to be a viable franchise as well.

Kyle just posted in the forum about custom equipment on the forum. I didn't realize what custom eq did. It is really valuable. I did have to buy some more flex points. But I am into this game. I kind of wish they'd just charge us a fee and not have the boosting, custom stuff and reward you based on levels--and maybe they will at some point. But this game is really sweet. Thought this was a free game, but if you look at it like it's a pay game then I still haven't paid much at all.
Can't believe how much boosting and custom EQ has improved my player.

Exactly.
Plus if I work on adding referrals--even if they don't play--in the next few seasons, I can get the flex points back when my guy retires--even more than I paid.
I just don't want to let the team down. We are so close now. We have a couple problem areas still--but we will get better.

The only problem I see is that they have no limits on the amount of money people can spend on a player.
In affect the if you dont outspend your competition you will forever be behind.
I wouldnt mind spending 10-15 per season but if we still lose becuase another team is willing to spend 30-40 per person it detracts from the strategy part of the game.
Obviously the site cant exist if they have no revenue but perhaps it is better to get $10 from 70% of the players than $100 from 10% of the players and the rest give up because they dont want to spend that much money after a season or 2.

Wey you can only spend Flex on 3 boosts per season and whatever the Custom is going to be at each level, (600 buying, 300 lvl 8, something for lvl 16), so there is a finite amount that you can spend on a player. But that isn't counting the people that have a team and 10 players on it all boosted and up to date by one person.

That's still a ways off for any of us but one strategy at that point might be to adjust your equipment to put points towards that skill to move it above 48, while you put your "actual skill points" into lower level skills.

A lot of long drives on offense and good rush and pass defense against what looked like a potent offense on paper. I will admit that I have been very impressed by the time put in by our staff for this game...it does not look like an easy job.

Man a lot goes into this!!!
JT, Kyle and I were chatting last night and even today on game planning and making sure we had everyone covered contraactually and answered everyone's questions.
A few observations...
Twarpy KICKED ass with Franz today. Slizz's Sherby had a good game. The Pass Defense in general was very good. Our Corners were especialy good today. Our backup HB, Roman Gabriel, was exceptional, scoring two TDs. Quick was great again, even catching 3 balls. Our QB looked awesome after a horrible game one. Our TEs really stepped up and caught several balls.
Our line's didn't play as well but we're figuring stuff out. We let in 8 tackles for losses--yet we only got them twice. No sacks--even though they had to pass a lot playing catch-up. But I like both of our lines and think we're going to be something special. This team we beat is a good team. Much better than the team we lost to last week. But we've improved so much.

Too bad Joe Shutdown fumbled one later.
Here's something I noticed about LeMoose: I had Running Style set to Straight Ahead this game and I got stood up too often. Last game I was Combo (both elusive and straight ahead mix).
For the next game I'm going to set to Elusive. I should pick up more yards and not any losses.

I agree, Punk. I actually sold one of my pieces of equipment before the game and re-bought to focus on Vision for +2. It cost me $1500, but I think it needed to be done based on what happened game in 1. I won't be up to 20+ Vision by next game, but I will be after that once I earn the experience.
Punk, I also think we got quite a tandem on the DL edges. I see you have focused on stopping the run, and I just leveled up my pass rush tree (unfortunately, post game). I hoping to get a sack next game...

For those of you bagging on the punter:
29.6
29.4
29.2
27.7
27.1
25.4
25.4
25.3
25.3
24.1
23
23
22.5
22
20.4
19.3
These are the punting stats for our league.
While 22 may be towards the bottom 7 more yards isnt all that much compared to where we would expect an NFL punter to be.
7 yards is like one running play.
I think it is a progamming flaw as much as anything.
A 12 year old should be able to punt the ball 22 yards.
A grown man with no punting training who cant punt the ball over 30 yards would not qualify as a man.

wow, what a game. that looked easier than most of us thought. I guess that has something todo with our scouting, boosting and excellent coaching.
Joe Roto and Franz Beckenbauer needed this game. they were outstanding in this one. if only they can show this talent every game.
Hurley is fine with that distribution in 121. he is only Level 2 and 19.5 is the best Stamina that is possible. I found it interesting that Hurley as a OT plays lots of G and what I can see from the replays he is not that bad. he could be a bit quicker tough.
play distribution looked much better in this game. Michael Dawson saw a few more plays on offense and keeps the streak with at least 1 catch alive. if he would have been a bit quicker that 23.5yd catch would have been gone. at least I know where I need to improve him when he reaches level 3 after the next game.

I would like to thank everyone for the words of encouragement to the coaches. We do put a lot of time into this game. I can't speak for everyone involved, but I know I spent at least 8 hours scouting between games 1 and 2. Kyle, Ref, Doug, Punk, Goatlocker and I am sure I am missing so names here also spend a lot of time scouting, getting contracts out, selling seats, researching ways to improve players.
I am happy it should in game 2 that what we are doing is "worth" it. Here's to kicking the Polar Bears ass in game 2!

Wow I have no idea what is wrong with the punter. I boosted three times, levelled up once, boosted my customer equipment and upgraded to level 8 equipment. I am much more disappointed in that showing than a grown man should be about this game.
Anyone see any other punters put up decent numbers to give some advice? My punting attribute is at 51.49 and my special ability tree is at 6, 6, 7. I thought that combo would work really well.

I feel guilty about all the goal-to-go carries I got where we had to settle for field goals. Mix in some play action and I'll focus on Pass Blocking, because apparently the defenses are setting up to stop the run at goal-to-go.
If we can get that detailed, that is.

No clue, B6. Might want to read up on that. I do know that having a 1-2 punch is crucial. Maybe Gabriel is the goal-line back with his makeup? Even at lvl 2 he looks good.
I do see that even the backups make a big impact in this game. This is truly a team game.

your special ability tree is way, way, way too high. if you don't have the attributes to back it up, it doesn't matter how high the special abilities are.
you need to majorly pump up your strength, and you need to work on your vision too. Strength, obviously helps you book the ball, but vision keeps you from shanking it.
Legge and Punk - i'd love to have a human back up at FB and a human back up at WR.
additionally - if you're looking to go on the cheap, an OT would be nice.
link me when you've created, and i'll send the offer.
everyone else - remember - you pretty much have to sign in once a day during the season, or the system sees you as inactive. either J or Twarpy - whoever is "some one", well you're inactive right now. :o)

Being inactive doesn't have a direct impact on a player, but it means that he hasn't made any adjustments to his player. For example, if he has levelled up, the skill points have not been added to his skills and his training might not be optimal.

hey, blue hen! what the heck are you training Hamilton Granby on? he seems to be recovering at a much slower pace than he oughta be.
Punk - we just pulled off a trade for a nice HB. our other FB is a nice running FB, so if you want to go the blocking route....
and remember, if you don't get a "dice roll" you like, just retire the guy and re-roll. you don't lose your flex points.
the following is on the board for one of my teams:
If/when the time comes that you want to start a new player, follow these guidelines:
DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT settle for the first player the computer sticks you with UNLESS if falls in line with the below information. Chances are the stats are not very good and by rerolling your player you can actually gain up to 2 Levels (9-10 points.
You can retire and reroll a player with no penalty other then a bit of time. Usually it takes 20-50 rolls to get a top end roll unless you are lucky enough to get it sooner.
If you dont know how to retire your player right after you make them let me know and I can post a quick 123 on how to do that.
Here is what I have found so far for the positions I have played with so far.
DE:
Stats your looking at: Strength, Agility, Speed, Tackling
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - I did see a few 20's in the rolls for Physical Attributes and the highest I saw Tackling was 18
QB:
Stats: Strength, Stamina, Vision, Confidence, Throwing
Ideal Range - 69-71
Highest Roll - 71
Notes - Since QB adds in a 5th stat that varies I didnt see as high of numbers as I did for the DE but I still saw stats at 18 on occastion and Throwing around 15-16.
C:
Stats: Strength, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 51-53
Highest Roll - 53
Notes - I actually kept a 52 roll instead of the 53 as I wanted a higher STR/BLK then speed. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.
LB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Stamina, Confidence, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Again you have a whole bunch of stats that vary so it limits how high they seem to go...I did see a few 18's but they were few and far between.
Guard:
Stats - Strength, Speed, Confidence, Blocking
Ideal Range - 63-65
Highest Roll - 65
Notes - Jumping is also variable but I again ignored it like I did my Center. Pretty similar to the Center and I'm assuming the Tackle. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.
OT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Confidence, Vision, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 84-87
Highest Roll - 87
Notes - Lots of stats to look at here...highest stat I saw was a 20 on Blocking which is the one I took at 84 total. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.
Punter:
Stats - Confidence, Punting, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - I actually got a 51 on my 2nd roll but kept going to see if that was really as good as it first looked....it was but I did nail a 52 later on. Highest I saw was a 25 on Punting...25 on Confidence and Stamina ranges from 7-10.
Kicker:
Stats - Confidence, Kicking, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - Pretty much the same as the Punter. Stamina ranges from 7-10 and the highest I saw was Kicking at 25 and Confidence at 26.
TE:
Stats - Strength, Vision, Blocking, Catching
Ideal Range - 58-60
Highest Roll - 60
Notes - Depending on what type of TE you want to be you can look for stats that not only add up to a good number but also that more fit what you want to do. I was looking for high blocking and strength numbers ideally.
WR:
Stats - Agility, Speed, Jumping, Stamina, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 83-85
Highest Roll - 85
Notes - Ugh WR was horrid to get a good roll. You not only want a good roll but you most likely want to see the stats favor what type of receiver you want to be....speed or possession or get the roll and then just go with whatever way is easier. There has been some debate over Height and Weight and its been acknowledged that it does have a minor effect on things. This is one position I think you should at least look at it. The Jump Catch ability even states taller receivers can catch more high passes. If you want to go possession try for a tall receiver 6'2"+.
RB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Speed, Confidence, Vision, Carrying
Ideal Range - 76-78
Highest Roll - 78
Notes - Since both RB's and WR's have 6 stats that vary I figured I could get up to the 80+ range as well but that was a pipe dream and I think I rolled for 2+ hours to get the 78. Either go into this with a type of RB in mind or once you get a good roll let that guide you to either power or speed back.
FB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Blocking, Carrying
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - Here you gotta also look at whether you are going to be a blocking FB or a rushing one. I kept a 61 roll over the 62 due to the face it had a very high carrying and didn't need it for the blocking one I wanted to make but would have been great for a rushing one.
DT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Tackling
Ideal Range - 52-54
Highest Roll - 54
Notes - You can really get some nice stats out of this one...20, 18, 16 for me.
CB:
Stats - Agility, Stamina, Speed, Jumping, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Usually a good spread of 13-16's works good here so you can build however you want without any one stat being really high unless you want that stat high anyway.
FS:
Stats - Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling, Catching
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - I got the 68 in the first 10 rolls and rolled forever thinking I could do better...landed alot of 67's but never even matched the 68 and gave up when it hit midnight.
SS:
Stats - Strength, Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - Very similar to the FS..same # of stats and seems to be the same outcome just a few different stats.
Just a quick explanation:
Stats - The stats that vary with each roll of a player...there may be a few other stats that vary a bit but they are usually very unimportant.
Ideal Range - The total number you come up with when you add all the Stats together.
Highest Roll - This is the highest roll I have come up with when doing this guide. Each position was rolled a min of 40-50 times and sometimes more.
Notes - Anything I found interesting.

DPR, if you sign up for g-mail you can easily get into our chats about the games. Ref and I are basically exchanging ideas 24/7, JT, Doug, Punk, J, Cliff, and Blue Hen all contributed to last game chats before last game. Just let us know and we'll add you to our chat sessions.
Also we usually share what we come up with on the GLB site. Since their down time yesturday the site has sped up immensely. Also if anyone finds this and sees all our strategy on an open site that's kind of pointless for coming up with strategy. We've got 2 threads open right now on the Game 3 opponent right now.
If you want to remain O-coordinator please feel free to, and let us know how we can easily communicate with you. We want your input.

For everyone on the Berzerk.
We need to alter our depth charts to get the better players more playing time.
It is important that the team have a decent showing in the standings.
If we dont win we cant sell tickets.
If we cant sell tickets we lose concessions and ultimatley the team goes bankrupt.
It is important that everyone get their share of playing time in order to have the players ready to fill the Gurupies with a steady supply of decent players.
However, the franchise needs to be viable.
It isnt important to necessarily win the division but if we could get to 8-8 that would be enough.
Please bear with us as we tweak things to find the right balance of spreading the playing time around and trying to win a few games.

great game guys. pleasantly surprised to see the boxscore and how well the team did. i definitely credit the coaches for coordinating this effort.
question: with 3 TE's on our roster i didn't expect a lot of plays but i am surprised that Seward Norse had nearly twice as many as me! I realize Blue Hen has levelled up quite a bit and that explains his great performance but i thought me and Norse were comparable.
I am by no means complaining, but i am curious what dictates the number of plays (fyi my stamina was 3 pts higher than his). Please explain, because i'm definitely missing some keep parts to this game.

Astade, The sim really designates how many plays you play. We have some control in our settings, but not that much. Seward was ahead of you on the depth chart for that game so I assume that is why he played more games. Don't worry though. I adjust the depth chart on a game by game basis. Now if you are leveled higher then everyone else your probally going to start every game, but in the case with you and seward I am sure there will be some games that you are second on the depth chart and thus will see more plays.

Toral, Blue Hen.
please make sure you are training on relaxed. i think you're not, because your guys on the RGB team aren't recovering their energy at all.

BH and everyone on both teams.
It is in your own best interest and the best interest for the teams that you get your energy up to 100 or as close as possible BEFORE the game.
You get far more exp points and skills for playing than you get for training.
If you cant get enough playing time it will slow your progress.
After the game you need to calculate how much energy you need to recover to be at least at 95%.
Training on relaxed gives you about 75% of the benefit for only 5% of the cost while also giving you the biggest energy boost.
Training on intese is best if you will be 100%...otherwise normal and relaxed are not that bad a deal.

Just so you know, Concho Renegade plans on being a special teams fiend. Right now he's third-deep (practically practice squad) as a linebacker and doesn't care.
He is going to concentrate all his skill and equipment points on Speed, Vision, and Tackling.

To be honest who cares about a huge contract?
There is only a limited amount of things you can do with the money anyways.
As an owner I would want every player to have enough to maximize their improvements but no more.
Underpaying or overpaying is not good for a team.
We need to think of it as not paying our players but investing in them.
But there is no need to over-invest.

And I am training on intense most days to build up stats and I'm still pocketing money even when doing so. I will be stashing that money away so that when I reach upper levels I can afford the expensive equipment.

re: 208
Wins are absolutely HUGE. But the concessions are for an 0-2 team. We willc ompare notes and see if record has anything to do with concessions. My thinking is that it is mainly souvenirs, but income level of fan base could also factor into concession sales. With the amount of salaries we've upped lately, we def need at least that amount of concessions.
As of now we have 10K normal seats. 1060 Club seats. There are 200 more Club Seats yet to be built but may leve them until next season.

We were running beers half price after every TD.
Then we doubled the price on jerseys and foam fingers with each score.
The only problem is we sold out of foam fingers and are unsure if the next shipment will get there in time for next game.
The good news is we expect recurring sales on the fingers as many of the fans were using them to drink their beers for much of the 4th quarter.

218 - Yes you can do both. You can get +1 in a skill for 100FP, up a maximum of +6 for 600 FP and 300FP gets you one tree of Special Abilities. So total cost of +6 to skills and 1 tree of Special Abilities would cost 900FP.

Weykool,
The Exorcist is now upset he played in the game. He stated to me that he wanted to get in on that half price beer deal.
Also I wish they took account how drunk the fans would get if they bought the beer. IE: The more one drinks the more wants to drink more. For every beer sold 1.3 more beers would be sold to the same customer. Also after the fans get completely smashed on $1 beers they are more likely to buy $700 jerseys and $550 foam fingers. In a perfect game they'd have that.

important guide for training...
this is really helpful. generally speaking, between games, you should be training on relaxed.
however, my LB on RGB Berzerk is at 97 energy right now, with a game tomorrow. according to this, if i train on intense tonight, i will still gain 3 energy, which means i'll be at 100 percent.
i'm going to experiment with that tonight, and see what happens.

One of the things suggested in the Berzerk team forum was to have players set thier play intesity to hard.
I dont know what the effects are during the game but when you break 5 tackles on one play for a TD per post #205 it seems there might be something to it.
It may drain some of us a little bit faster but if that little extra helps get us a win it might be worth it.
Perhaps at least the lower level subs such as myself so when we get into the game we can play up a notch.

M you are hooked up.
I'm getting ready to head out. I hope to be able to check in tonight.
We sold out of our added Club seats. We will NOT be adding any more seats this year. We have approx $1.5M left in ticket sales and my goal is to have that much at the end of the year so we can add a section of seats for next year (takes a season to construct). That was we won't need a loan that will cost us near $300K in interest. That means we only have a couple hundred K now and if concessions can manage to cover salaries, we are cutting it close since we have bonuses and upgraded contracts to pay when people hit lvl 8. This is going to be close, but if it works out, we are set up heading into next year budget-wise. We REALLY need a home playoff game to make sure as if we don'tw e have to pay salaries those last few days after the season with no income at all.

Appears that Bowdoin has been boosting in preparation for today's game. We appear slightly favored still. Though their passing game is still superior. Our CBs are superior to theirs. Really wish we had boosted before game 1, but oh well.
If anyone wants to boost or get custom eq, the sooner the better. If you're going to do it anyhow, I wouldn't wait. We still are very vulnerable when our backups are in and we all know they get a lot of PT.

I have a question about this. Could we sandbag any team that's doing scouting like us by not wearing our Custom Equipment until just a few hours before kickoff?
What about mixing up the starting lineup? A savvy scout will look at the depth chart and/or full roster but, from what I've seen, few other teams appear to have as many individuals invested in the process as we do.
And not to get paranoid, should I delete this post thread before someone finds it?

My energy is at 65, but it will be up to 96 come next game day, so I am good to go.
We ran a lot today, which obviously kept the defense off the field for a good chunk of the game.
Kicking is getting much better with a 4 for 4 day today, 20 pancakes, a great two back running game, a forced fumble, our cornerbacks taking away any chance of a passing game with 10 passes deflected and another one picked off. Touchdown Carter with 9 catches to make up for a couple drops....
Nice stats all around!

Actually, we played so well that none of our defensive guys got the 50 plays you'd need for Max XP. I believe Speedy got 377 XP this game in 44 plays (most D starters got 40-44).
By looking at under passing, you can see the # of plays per team (we ran 95, they ran 44).
We need to dominate less for the sake of our player development, lol! ;)

Just got on. Congrats on the huge win. Looks like we ran them to death as we planned. O players got a ton of plays. Great job guys. We are still thinner than we would like.
Not to be a downer, but we are all worried about Vermont. The team we play the game after next. But they just LOST to our NEXT opponent, Atlanta. Both of them are currently are favored right now in matchup.
If we can get just one home playoff game, we will be set up financially for next year. We really need to keep winning. If anyone has any ideas on gameplanning or getting deeper, that would be great. Obviously, if you can boost or get custom eq that's great.

Post 300 What are the new Advanced Energy Tactics added like?
They are good. You can now set certain situations up. You can basically have your standard sub in sub out setting, but now you can make exceptions.
For example say I want all starters to play if there is 4 minutes left and we are losing, or winning by a bit. Well you can do that now.
It works both ways also. You can set, say if I am up by 4 touchdowns make sure all backups are in.
This will add a lot to the game.
But of course now more work to do :)

Another note you can also set it by each position to. For example say I want all bench players to come in, but I want my QB in there no matter what the score or what energy he is at. You can now do this.
It has to be tested out though because we can hurt ourselves if we drain players to much.

A lot can change with signings and such, but right now I agree that next 2 games look to be the two best teams we still need to face. There's still 11 games after that. It would suck to drop from 2-1 to 2-3 these next couple weeks, and whereas before I thought it was lost cause, now I think we've got a real shot in both games. But honestly I could see us running the table from there on out as well. Let's do the best we can, but if we do end up with a little run of bad luck here, it won't ruin our season.
So let's take the next two games as a pair of learning opportunities and make the most out of 'em, 'cus after that we might just start rolling again, and you don't learn as much from the easy games. :)
> 250: Really wish we had boosted before game 1, but oh well.
I disagree. I think a lot of folks were still "getting" the game. The importance of skills like stamina and vision. We used those post-game-1 boosts to shore up those areas. If people had used those boosts before game one, there's a good chance those boosts wouldn't have been in the areas we needed most, and we would have still been playing catchup, probably just now getting our act together. By waiting until after games 1 and 2, we were able to adjust and get everyone on track much more quickly.

I agree with Cliff for the A-league team. The whole point of boosting to get better sooner is negated if we lose ground as a result of < 50 plays per game (mid-to-high-40s is ok, we don't have to have to get it perfect every time, but you know what I mean).
For lower-rated players who don't want to boost early and, like Tree says, maximize their "bang for buck" should generally be on the farm team, 'cus they're not going to get as much PT on the main team.

Doug:
the only problem that I see is that there is a finite amount of playing time between both teams.
Finding the right balance between the two team will be something that needs to be figured out as we go.
If the B team moves a starter to the A team and that player rides the pine it can become self defeating.
My intuition tells me that the ideal situation would be to have the lowest level of players on the A team that will still ensure wins while keeping the highest level team on the B team that ensures a 500 season.
Obviously the problem is how do you accomplish that and still not run the risk of miscalulating and having the A team lose a bunch of games by 3 points?
We are still learning this season and need to make prudent decision and not rush into any hasty decisions the could adversly affect both teams.

Right, I agree... I'm not saying we draw a line and force people here or there, or neglect the development of our backups either. It also depends on position. For example, at CB we've got Speedy and Stagnowski... but there are sometimes 3/4 CB sets on D. And our #3 CB returns kicks. Plenty to go around. But for example this week, most of the D starters only got 40-45 plays. We wouldn't want to have subbed them out in the 4th Q because they needed the plays. The O on the other hand definitely could have subbed out, because we were up and they'd already met their XP requirements. We might have put a few less points on the board but whatever, a win is a win and it would have been better for long-term development. Like you say, we have to figure it out.
But that's one thing that it would be really nice if they would add to the Advanced Energy Tactics, # of plays. If team is up by 15+ or down by 15+ in 4th Quarter and starter at the position has had 50+ plays, then go ahead and bench 'em (rather than it being purely a score-based decision). It's too bad they don't have that in there yet, but I would have been pissed if I had to sit the entire 4Q simply because we "played well" earlier in the game and thus got limited to like 30 plays as a result.

Ronnie Boozer's two favorite things are winning and boozing.
Lately he's getting the best of both. Not getting alot of XP with no starts (12 plays this week), but he doesn't really give a sh*t as long as SmashMouth and the other D-Boyz pay the bill when they head out boozing and buy him a few lap dances. He understands he was the 4th LB in, When asked he says "I dunno, the coaches got all that"

i don't buy that. 10-6 is 10-6, whether you win those games earlier or later.
For lower-rated players who don't want to boost early and, like Tree says, maximize their "bang for buck" should generally be on the farm team, 'cus they're not going to get as much PT on the main team.
i have yet to boost any of my players this season. I've got a LVL 6 FB, a LVL 5 WR, and a LVL 3 LB. the FB should be LVL 7 tomorrow.
my WR is getting a solid amount of playing time on the gurupie team, even though he's the third option. he's not getting a lot of passes, but he's getting playing time - which is actually more important than number of catches in this game at thos point.
if you're lvl 1 or 2 should you boost? yea. but right now, boosting a player at 4 or 5 doesn't make sense until later on, when we might need that as we steam toward the playoffs.
i haven't figured it out, but if you boost now, instead of later, you might cost yourself 2 levels as the season goes on.

yeah but you have to get to 10-6
This game is all about match ups and if you are the dog in the match up you will lose.
If you have a guy sitting at level 5 and you boost to level 8 you can get custom equipment and that changes everything.
Level 5 players get 82 XP a day
Level 8 get 69
difference is 13.
13 times 40 days = 520 xp points. = 1/2 a level
you will clearly lose that much by not being in the game a maximum amount of plays. I havent seen a chart on how many xp you get for games, but I have been getting around 400- That eliminates that 520 in just a couple games.

Agreed on the XP, but I am looking at things on the forum, and my question is, will the lost 11 points per level of XP really outweigh the extra XP gained on performance?
I agree, boosting early and often will secure better results. Who is to say we wouldn't be 0-3 if some of us haven't boosted.
Its really a moot argument though, some want to boost, some don't, and it will be hard to convince the other side of the argument that their method is wrong.

I can see both sides of the argument. In general, boosting late is best for the player and the long term development of the team. Boosting early is best for the short-term development of the team.
The point that I was trying to make is that there is no extra XP gained on performance by boosting. In fact, for the same number of plays, you will get less XP from performance if you boost.

Little M, I see your point, but if you dont boost you might not be in the field for enough plays.
Look at players like
Ronnie Boozer 12 plays
Haya Griva 24 plays
Flaco Drakken 21 plays
Buck Naked 14 plays
All of them are lower levels- all saw the field less then half the plays- there is no way they could possibly have gotten the max XP for those games. You know what I mean

that is less on LVL, and more on the stamina and depth chart.
if a LVL 1 guy has a higher stamina than a LVL 4 guy, and is also higher on the depth chart, the LVL 1 guy will see considerably more plays.

The last game is a bad example as the defense only had 44 plays total. If I had boosted Griva up three levels, I still think he is a back up and he still gets in 24 plays, but he earns fewer XP.
I don't think the difference is that great, however, so I'm thinking of boosting both of my players next week.

I agree with Zen. You are looking at a difference of 11 points per level of XP.
So, if you are on Level 5 vs. Level 8 you will be missing out on 33 XP. That doesn't seem like that much to me.

That is 33XP per day, so over a 40 day season it is an extra level.
PS: I have already boosted my player 3 levels this season, so I am not arguing that players should not be boosted early. Instead, I am just trying to show that there are advantages to both strategies and there is no one way that is best.

Exactly my point Little M. Only one level per season. Then I consider the amount of extra plays in a game you might be involved in if you were a stronger player from the start. I am guessing that you would garner enough XP (My guy gets 300-400 XP per game) to level up more than two-three extra levels per season through game earned XP.
I am not trying to create an argument, just trying to talk out loud on the possibilities.

Tree, your thoughts were shared by several at first. But after Wiggs boosted, I talked to an owner who has been ehre since the game started. He had been mentoring me and trying to get me to play for his team since I created. I also read some of the forums, etc. But seeing how things work really teaches you a lot. Wey and I have learned so much just off each other as far as pricing goes. It's amazing how much I learn about this game on a daily basis.
My current understanding is that there is so much that goes into this game. Winning is HUGE. If you lose, you lose morale--which affects your player and the team. I am not sure if that also affects chemistry...but it may. It has a huge affect financially and fan base and the income levels of that fan base. I'm thinking that possibly, attendance may help morale and chemistry as well. Just a guess at this point.
Anyhow, after research we have found that boosting asap is the way to go. Being on the field more than trumps the 11-13 xps per level. And being productive in your job--not stats--may also play a part into the overall scheme. Again, just a guess. I am told that a lot more goes into things than what you can see.
Tree, your WR is built right, he just isn't high enough level yet. He would have been the WR1 or WR2 if he had boosted. But our WRs were so thin that JT built one just to try and help. Sarge's guy wasn't set up well initially, but he should get there as he gets SPs put in the right place. My guy wasn't set up right so boosting was a NEED for my guy to help the team. My guess is that you'd catch a lot more balls if you boosted, but, again, just a guess. WR is still a weak spot for us. Your guy could REALLY make our team better. If you want to boost, I'd do it asap. If you don't want to or don't have the money, then that is understandable.
Another problem area is depth. Little M has to play C and both Gs. Also we need ST guys. Winning or losting these next two games will go a long way to see if we make the playoffs or not. As of now they are both favored, but if we could boost some of our guys, we'd be so much better.

I agree with Ref. I don't think anyone has to go out and spend money to boost their player if they don't want to. However I do think if they are going to spend that money, then doing it sooner rather than later is best for both the team and the individual.
That being said, we are all still new at this game, and nobody really has a finite sense of exactly what the best practice is in terms of boosting. But my other team owner, who has been in this game since day one, also told me the same thing as Ref is saying, boost early and boost as often as possible.

I dont mind boosting Ronnie Boozer at all. I plan to do it at some point during this season. I guess I'm watching these discussions to see how to max him out by the end of the season. Clearly not a consensus yet.
I think if your player is starting it's an obvious choice to boost, Helps the team and the player. If he's not starting I'm not sure that it helps either one. It would seem to me the back up getting into a game would be a function of the starter coming off the field, not the other way around (how good the backup is).
Again I don't mind doing it. I plan to do it, I'd like some custom equipment too. Some nice Brass Knuckles and a Bourbon Shorty for the back pocket. (Is that how it works?) I just don't to lose any levels I could have had by doing it too early when I'd be playing the same amount of time.
Guess I'll just watch the coaches and see,

As far as the XP gained from training I agree that the little extra you get dosent help by waiting.
However, I believe you get a lot more XP for game experience at the lower levels.
A made several Level 1 players for the B team and they are already L3 and will likely be level 4 after today's game.
That will be 3 levels in 4 games.
To compare how many levels have the players gained that boosted?

JH,
If we had better backups our ST would be so much better. We could put starters on ST where we are deep and backups would get even more PT. Right now our deepest area is CB and we have three of the four playing ST plays. We ran the ball down their throats last game and our offense was depleted. Just an example of how critical our "backups" are, Little M, a Center, is our highest rated (according to CPU) and highest paid player on our team. He is an important part of our team. The management has considered going out and getting some more players to help our depth, but we really want to keep this a gurupie thing.

When you do hit level 8, whether boosting or natural, PM/IM/Email me with not only that you hit lvl 8 and how much cash you have on hand, but what your character name is. Keeping names straight has been confusing. But at level 8, I will give you a new contract and enough cash to get your lvl 8 eq. Your new contract will give you a lot more than enough to train every day.
It would probably behoove us to start doing longer-term contracts at some point.

Wiggs:
The only problem I see is that we dont know how close your player was to the next level before the season began.
It is possible that your player gained 1001 exp and still gained 2 levels.
To get an accurate comparison we would need to know exp points gained.
Most of my player have gained 2200-2300 after 3 games.
That is about 750 points per game including the training.

that being said, i am getting close to boosted when i planned on, which was as i approached, or hit, level 8. my goal was to have my level in double digits for no less than half the season...

Level 8 is the most important level for us.
First, you get to upgrade your eq for an extra point. Then you get to upgrade your custom eq for the ability tree. The abilities start to make an impact at level 8. So the difference between a level 7 and a level 8 is astronomical. The difference from wearing custom eq or not is also a huge difference. That costs Flex Points--which comes from referrals or you have to purchase. But you only have to spend a finite amount of cash, so I did it. Didn't plan to, but want the team to be the best it can be.
I only had one tackle last game. Only was in for 42 plays, counting ST play where I, s the backup return man, didn't even touch the ball. But my guy is getting pretty darn good. His coverage is so good that QBs won't throw at me much. Same for Doug's Speedy. We are doing a great job with little stats. Our xp was way down because the O had the ball so long. But I honestly don't care. We won. This is so much better than playing for a random team--even if I was doing better stat-wise as an individual.

Saying that this discussion about exp points isnt getting us anywhere is a bit presumptious.
I think it is vital to everyone playing this game and both teams to know the affects of boosting early vs boosting later.
If your mind is already made up and you choose to ignore the facts then that is up to you.
Frankly changing anyone's mind that is already made up is pointless.
For the rest of us I see nothing wrong with having as many facts as possible to base our decisions on.
I fully understand the points that Ref and others have made about the team needing to win to guarantee the long term success of the team.
However, if boosting early does slow the development progress of the player I think each player should know exactly what that difference might be.
In gerneral the more we discuss things the better off we will be.
Ref could have blown me off when I offered to share financial information.
But he didnt and as a result both teams are far better of finacially than we would be without sharing information.
Both teams are basically paying for salaries with concession sales.
I know if I was unable to discuss prices with Ref our team would not have been able to acomplish that until at least the 2nd half of the season.

Yes, once you buy it you don't lose it unless your player retires.
You can boost your custom equipment at level 8, by spending 300FP for a tree of Special Abilities. I believe that there are also boosts at level 16, 24, etc that will have additional costs if you choose to pay.

Something interesting I came across:
Also note with the skill you train, the increase you get is inversely proportional to how high the skill number already is. This basically means that the more points are already in a particular skill, the less you are able to increase it through daily training. Here is a chart to help you see the amount you can boost a skill based on how many points are already in it:
Skill Points: Intense | Normal | Relaxed
7: 0.65 | 0.59 | 0.50
8: 0.62 | 0.57 | 0.48
9: 0.60 | 0.54 | 0.46
10: 0.58 | 0.52 | 0.44
11: 0.55 | 0.50 | 0.43
12: 0.53 | 0.48 | 0.41
13: 0.51 | 0.46 | 0.39
14: 0.49 | 0.45 | 0.38
15: 0.47 | 0.43 | 0.36
16: 0.45 | 0.41 | 0.35
17: 0.44 | 0.40 | 0.34
18: 0.42 | 0.38 | 0.32
19: 0.40 | 0.37 | 0.31
20: 0.39 | 0.35 | 0.30
21: 0.37 | 0.34 | 0.29
22: 0.36 | 0.32 | 0.28
23: 0.34 | 0.31 | 0.26
24: 0.33 | 0.30 | 0.25
25: 0.32 | 0.29 | 0.25
26: 0.30 | 0.28 | 0.23
27: 0.29 | 0.27 | 0.23
28: 0.27 | 0.25 | 0.21
29: 0.27 | 0.24 | 0.21
30: 0.26 | 0.24 | 0.20
31: 0.25 | 0.23 | 0.19
32: 0.23 | 0.21 | 0.18
33: 0.23 | 0.21 | 0.18
34:
35:
36:
37: 0.20 | 0.18 | 0.15
38:
39:
40:
41: 0.17 | 0.15 | 0.13
42: 0.16 | 0.14 | 0.12
43:
44: 0.15 | 0.13 | 0.11
45:
46: 0.14 | 0.12 | 0.11
47:
48:
49:
50:
51: 0.11 | 0.10 | 0.09
Therefore, the more points that are in a skill, the less daily training will increase it. As an example, if any attribute is at 7, training it on Intense will increase in 0.65 points per day. Once that skill has 16 points in it, training it on Intense will only increase it 0.45 points per day. Once it is at 30, training it on Intense will only increase it 0.26 points per day, and so on.
Note:
-This chart works for every attribute regardless of position.
-If your attribute is at 7.2 or 7.4 or some number between 7 and 8, the value will be between the value listed for 7 and 8, but since the system rounds numbers to only 2 places past the decimal point, these results are not that useful to publish.
-You must subtract equiptment bonuses to use the chart above. So for example if your Speed is 25 and your equiptment is giving you +2 speed, you would need to look under 23 (25 - the effect of your equiptment) to see how much you would be able to increase that skill by training it.
The strategy comes in trying to get your “money’s worth”, so to speak. As a general rule, you always want to train skills that are the lowest value and boost skills with higher values using points from leveling up.
As an example, let’s say the Carrying on my HB is pretty low, right at 12 (not a sexy attribute, but you need some to keep you from fumbling). I notice that for an attribute with 12 points I can increase it 0.48 points per day through training. So it would take an average of only 2.08 days to improve my carrying 1 point (1 point divided by 0.48 point increase per day). Let’s say my Speed, on the other hand, is at 37. I notice that for an attribute with 37 points I can increase it only 0.18 points per day through training. So it would take an average of 5.56 days to improve my Speed 1 point (1 point divided by 0.18 point increase per day). When I level up I get to add points to a skill regardless of how many points are already in it. Therefore it makes more sense to use my Level Up points on Speed and my training points on Carrying. That way I get “more for my money.”
Also it makes more sense for the same reason to use my equiptment to boost skills that already have a lot of points in them rather than using daily training to improve that skill.
One final strategy thing, it may be best to apply all equiptment to one attribute. Say you have a DT and you want to train his Tackling. If use your skill points to bump his tackling way up, training it will not improve it that much. If on the other hand, you keep the base skill level low, at 10-15, then bump it up to a decent level using equiptment, you will be able to have it both ways. The equiptment will make your guy's tackling excellent while the low skill level behind the equiptment will allow you to gain almost half a point per day in Tackling by training on intense.

Re: 350 and 352...
Yes, 300 points gets you 1 point in every attribute in the tree. It's equivalent to 1-2 levels worth of skill points (or more as your character progresses). It's pretty huge.
If you have 400 flex points and no custom equipment yet, you can spend it all on a skill tree boost and a +1 to one of your attributes. Whenever you get 500 more flex points (say, by spending $4.50) you can upgrade your existing custom equipment with 5 more +1s to attributes (distributed however you like).
The alternative is to get 4 +1s right now and then have the 2 +1s and special ability tree boost later.
IMHO, and mathematically speaking, for 400 flex points getting +1 attribute and a special abiltiy tree boost is superior to getting +4 attributes.

To max your custom eq, you need to use 900 flex points. 600 at any time then you can spend 300 more at lvl 8. When you retire, you get 70% of your flex points back. You never have to rebuy eq for the same guy. As Doug said, you can get +1 at a time for the skills with your custom eq. It's 300 FPs for the ability tree.

Frick just made another player. A Guard. He boosted him to 4. Just that took us up 3 points in blocking. That's how big of an impact even a backup can be.

Post 373, apparently they made a change to the passing % that caused a huge drop in completions. The code has been changed back to the previous settings after a lot of complaints. See this thread .
