[Langlier]

I'm the newest owner of the Oakland BlackReign in USA BBB #10

PM or post here players you want on the team. I'll make trades with computer players or cash... cash is in limited supply however so work something out with your owner if possible. Computer players can be given freely. If you are on a shorter contract just let it run out.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1568

If you want to be a coordinator or GM either PM me or post here. So far its had limited interest and if that doesn't change I'll take the people who showed interest.

[raiderfreak7]

Im a Level 3 Strong Safety on this team (http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=403). If your not making any trades that's cool.

Here's my guy....http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=118701

[Langlier]

i'm making offers to all the players who signed up using my referral not currently on the team. offers will be 10000/yr x your current level. I'll adjust as needed

[Langlier]

I'll do trades later on. Right now I just want to get the team established.

i'd prefer you keep the flex points and hit them at EOY. that way you maximize thier use. I'm not expecting a powerhouse team in year 1

[Langlier]

offers sent 007

[007]

Cool, thanks man.

So, I shouldnt use the FP to boost my players yet?

How come? (Im a noob)

I figured its best to make them strong early, and go from there, but I'll listen to my owner. (As long as he aint no Al Davis! ;))

[SoCalRaider]

I've got a DE for ya.......

Getto Heisman.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=119860

I've leveled him up au natural for now.... but if I can get somebody to give me GM/coach responsibilities, I'm willing to throw down for approx 5,000 flex points to juice my guy up, get some additional players, or both (I'd rather take an admin position as opposed to own outright for now).

FYI... I'm in a fucked up contract situation and won't be a UFA until after game 2.

experience per day/game is greater for those at lower levels. if you use your FPs at the end of the season you'll be a higher level then if you use them at the beginning. (basically they are worth more per level... and you are limited to # of times you can boost per season)

no prob. I'll either pick you up then or if your owner will take a crap CPU player I'll offer one to him. remind me when you are an FA if not

[Langlier]

OK some ideas.

Bones would you mind making a seperate forum for the team? That way we have a way of communicating on this site.

GM/Off Coor/Def Coor/ST Coor

I'm thinking we open these positions up... if more then 2-3 people want each position I'll make a poll and we can vote on who gets them. I want it settled before the season begins

[007]

Cuz I figure everyone would want OC/DC, I'll offer my name up to ST coor, and work my way up...

[SoCalRaider]

GM/Off Coor/Def Coor/ST Coor

I'm thinking we open these positions up... if more then 2-3 people want each position I'll make a poll and we can vote on who gets them. I want it settled before the season begins

Would it be a problem to have some of those admin positions manned by multiple people? I want to see what the GM and coaching controls are like, but I don't need to have final say or anything. Just want to have a better understanding of the game (for reasons that will become apparent down the road)....

[Langlier]

I'll show ya if you want to see em socal. I'll grant you everything as far as OC/DC/STs for the night. I'll yank em in a few days when we have decided who will hold it in official capacity. If anyone else wants temp control out of curiocity let me know.

[YodasBeast]

Lemme know when you're ready to talk trades and I'll give you the info on my guys.

Currently have a FS, C and OT all at Level 6.

Edit: They are all under contract, which is why I say tell me when you're ready for trades.

Edit #2: My FS is now on Crow's team. I set my other 2 guys stats to available to all if either of you feel like trying to trade for them.

[Limee]

I have a level 4 SS with one year left on my contract.

Cool name for a punter.

Free Agent OLB

he's not an FA?

[Langlier]

hooking a few more players up. find out what your owners would want if you want to be traded. otherwise hit me up as soon as you are FAs.

[SoCalRaider]

I convinced the GM and owner to accept a cash trade since I am only under contract for 2 more games. What do you think would be a fair deal?

[Langlier]

i'll send them a fair value trade.

[jatfly]

he's not an FA?

Not sure why I am under contract since the team I was on is offering me a contract. Maybe it's just days away from going on the Market. it would help if somewhere they told you when you became a FA???

EDIT:
FYI I asked for a release or Trade since I don't start on the team I was on.....

[jatfly]

Hey Lang I just created a New G "Cliff Burton" make him a offer.

[Langlier]

offer sent jat.

remember all to let me know when your guy hits fa. socal it looks like your owner changed his mind. he will no longer accept cash. he wants a human player. play out the contract and i'll pick you up afterwards.

[SoCalRaider]

You're right. Fuck it. Let's wait till game 2 to get him. I'm going to go ahead and build out some more players. Looks like the squad definitely needs some help at a lot of positions. I am going to try and specialize on the defensive side of the ball to begin with. Going to build out a few LBs and a fat-ass run stopping NT.

[Jack's sore libido]

Thought you all might find this interesting ...

This is interesting. I had no idea:

CREATING A PLAYER

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.

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.

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.

Hey Lang, you won't kill me if I level up my TE before tomorrows game hey?

I've got FP to burn now that Im not purchasing the team, and am really itching to chew up some games...

[Langlier]

no problem RF. its a preference more then anything... if you've got points to spend make a few more players... we could use WRs and LBs. Also I granted those that requested not only coord duties (we can sort out who is which later) but also GM duties. try to keep the offers reasonable.

[007]

Done.

WR it is...Im all about flash. ;)

Im not doing any transactions, as I dont know what the hell Im doing.

I'll make a lvl 4 WR, and whats a fair salary. 40k for a year?

[007]

C'mon guys, nobody wants to join the Blackreign and represent the forum?

Lets get some killer players out there.

[jatfly]

i did a purchase of some flex points to help my guys out a little...... It's a shame we have a shitty QB or we may have won that one!!!!

[007]

I have some FP to use if I need it, but Im gonna build the other guys naturally for a few games and see, first.

I was happy with my lvl 1 receivers game. 7 catches and 70+ yards as a rook? He's gonna kill it soon.

[raiderfreak7]

When my guys out of his contract I'll let Lang know. Right now I'm a lvl 4 SS whos playing as much as the lvl 8 SS who's starting ahead of me.

A quick question for someone a little more intelligent than me. How do I go from 50 plays one game (other safety had about 45) to 7 plays the next game (other safety had about 10)? We got dominated one game (like 30-7) and won the next game big (41-3). Would that do it?

[jatfly]

Lang, my new WR, he is only a Level one but he is a big dude!

Bradley J.
Nowell (WR)

links people. sheesh

i'll hook ya up :)

i've filled out the team with some FAs. Hopefully we keep improving.

[raiderfreak7]

Looks like we got roughed up again, 30-9.

[007]

Fuck me.

I thought we had a shot in this game, but we gave up another 400+ and got bitch slapped.

I think we have the talent, if you look in our league, but our depth is lacking.

We'll get there.

[massraider]

I have created a player, an OLB. What the hell do I do now?

[007]

I have created a player, an OLB. What the hell do I do now?

You PM Lang so we can add more depth.

Iffin you wanna play on the 0-7 Oakland Blackreign...:D

[Langlier]

hey now. no makin fun of the team.

our O is sloooowly improving. our D... is taking steps in the right direction.

[007]

I wouldnt trade spots with a 7-0 team. I like the squad we have, and the fact we might build something...

Im content Lang my man. Its Gronkman and Manningham you should be worried about though...;)

[Crow]

hey now. no makin fun of the team.

our O is sloooowly improving. our D... is taking steps in the right direction.
If you wanna win, leave Boobie in!

[Raider Bill]

I'll be a free agent after this season. My guy should be level 12 by then.

[Crow]

I need a 4th DE if yer lookin' for work. ;)

[007]

The Oakland Blackreign could use a high level starter like that Bill. Don't listen to that guy!!

*I have a DE on his team who would be relegated to special teams*

:)

[Raider Bill]

Take a look bro.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=111868

No sacks yet, but 3 passes defensed :pound:

Level 10 now, figure I'll be close to 12 at season's end. Won't become a FA until season 3 day 1?

[007]

Pfft.

That's only a week or two away, bro.

We could sure use you if you're down with moving west and getting away from Moscow. :)

[Crow]

Take a look bro.

Level 10 now, figure I'll be close to 12 at season's end. Won't become a FA until season 3 day 1?

The trick seems to be going with high agility if you're a RE since they tend to loop around the LT a lot and need to be able to change direction more easily, and strength if you're a LE since they tend to bull rush and use more inside moves. That's what I've come to believe anyway.

Your speed, stamina, and tackling look good for now. Get the other 3 things built up and you should see some production.
