So, my CB has 5 skill points. Should I continue slow building him and just not spend those points? When would I spend them?

And, my LB plays MLB, and has strength softcapped, speed is almost softcapped and agility is 40. What should I focus my training on?

10/3/2008 11:54:14 PM

there is no point in saving them. spend them when you get them. vision is EXTREMELY important for a LB. I have a lvl 29 LB that starts on a solid team in the 2nd highest USA league and he leads the team in tackles (not bragging since this game doesnt take any skill haha, just saying, my guy is productive so this advice is tested). I actually have speed as my highest (doesnt have to be for you though, but my guy is outside and it helps), agility as my 2nd highest, then vision as my third highest, then tackling and strength are pretty equal, then stamina (LB can get pretty worn out).

"Defense General" is very important for a MLB on the Specials side. I would focus on hard hitter as a MLB with a few points thrown in the pass defense side now and then.

Strength: 42.44
Blocking: 16.52
Speed: 67.38
Tackling: 45.43
Agility: 48.48
Throwing: 9
Jumping: 21.22
Catching: 16.52
Stamina: 44.23
Carrying: 9
Vision: 46.34
Kicking: 9
Confidence: 31.39
Punting: 8

ive highlighted the ones that ive spent time working up high.

my specials are:
3-4-4-3-2
1-1-2-2


I have a very productive CB (leading the team in PD for the 2nd straight year) and WR as well if anyone has any questions.

Lvl 1 QB!!1

10/4/2008 6:56:32 PM

^^There is a point in saving them because it's easier to train a skill when it's low. I'm a fan of saving the SPs until you can definitely get a skill to 48 then spend them all.

10/4/2008 7:07:01 PM

Right now, I'm just chillin and letting my guys slow build. My question is, I was advised by a fellow team member to hold on to my SP and just train speed for now (for an OLB and a FS) until I get that capped. Is speed really the utmost thing I want to focus on for these positions? Right now everythign is pretty spread out, everything 12-15 at only a level 1. How long will it take to build these guys up? It seems like it will take a lot more than 10 levels.

Also, I've been reading through the guides and I cant find any info about soft-capping. Anyone care to explain or have a link?

10/4/2008 8:03:58 PM

^^ yea that helps some but its not worth that much. I wouldnt hold them too long. I spend points on my main things to get them up as fast as possible and train 2ndary and 3rd things that I dont want to spend full points on but that need to advance.

^ you definitely dont need to keep everything equal. there are only a certain set of talents for each position that you REALLY need to focus on, then 2ndary things and then some things you can pretty much nearly ignore for each position.

10/4/2008 8:12:35 PM

^^ msg sent on GLB, check ur inbox

10/5/2008 5:57:20 AM

^^ Just to make things clear, when I said everything, i was just talking about the important traits... my bad. I re-rolled until i got the higher traits for stuff that was important and low stuff for kickinng and shit like that. I was just debating spreading around points between my important traits or speed first and foremost.

After watching this play, I decided that perhaps speed is important. I'm the slow as fuck FS.

Hey Sleik, can I get my WR on the team? I want to build up a player at a position other then kicker

10/6/2008 11:52:30 AM

10/16 for 85 yds in my first game holla

no TDs but no picks either

10/6/2008 3:47:31 PM

^^ I have some contract offers out on the table, give me a day or two

10/7/2008 4:20:25 PM

Sounds good, thanks.

10/7/2008 6:16:24 PM

Just created Felipe Rios, QB

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=961034

10/7/2008 6:20:16 PM

^ haha, i like the picture you got for him

10/7/2008 6:40:37 PM

up to level 6 and got my first TD

I should be the starter on my team after this season

im thinking our starter is going to leave

10/21/2008 12:17:51 PM

^Be aware that your D-League contract will run out at Season 6 Day 14. The only way to stay in the D-League longer than that is to go idle for 5 or 6 days, get dropped off your team while you're still level 7 or lower and then rejoin a D-League team.

10/21/2008 12:21:26 PM

Got a lvl 6 LB if anyone is looking for one

10/21/2008 1:34:25 PM

i hate that I cant view the scores at work I put very little time into this game but its still fun to see how my team did and look at the boxscore

10/21/2008 1:49:06 PM

^^^ will i be moved up then if i dont?

10/21/2008 2:20:56 PM

You won't be moved up, you have to go look for a team which can be hard for QBs sometime, especially mid-season. I would either try and get on a team this off-season or try and set it up so you can stay in the D-Leagues for most of next season.

10/21/2008 2:22:04 PM

^^^^ link your player and open his build

10/22/2008 3:34:21 AM

i havent gotten any XP for my last two games...

10/26/2008 12:56:45 PM

^scrimmage/playoff games give no xp. My team won their 2nd playoff game in a crazy fashion. 2 defensive TDs and a horrible 4th down by the other team let us kick a FG to win the game with under 1 minute left.

10/26/2008 1:04:28 PM

whats the "approx. normal training points" all about?

are those percentages ever going to go back up?

10/28/2008 4:26:56 PM

^ I think those percentages indicate how much of a boost training makes to that particular stat (i.e., if the bar is halfway full and the table indicates training boosts that stat by 50%, you'll hit the next number). It goes down as time goes on because it's supposed to take more and more training to hit the next level.

10/28/2008 9:18:36 PM

that sucks if true

my vision is like low 40's but its already down to like 19 fucking percent

10/29/2008 12:59:15 AM

that just means the bar will fill up 19 percent more the next time you train it. of course, that's a projection, it could go up a little if you do no activity, or a lot if you get a breakthrough.

10/29/2008 2:36:12 AM

ive only had one breakthrough i think

10/29/2008 10:57:02 AM

Lvl 10. QB needs a home!!1

11/29/2008 3:27:33 PM

Bestus with that. QBs are having lots of trouble finding roster spots. Lots of teams are only going with one QB. If they expand next season, and you don't boost -- you stand a good chance of catching on somewhere.

11/29/2008 9:05:23 PM

bttt

12/25/2008 12:05:38 AM

its all good, i dont play this game but i remembered the thread

12/25/2008 12:13:26 AM

My DT is a beast. That is all.

12/25/2008 9:50:55 AM

I need a team for my Level 11 QB and my level 5 RB, Scottie Pimpin. Anyone in need of either?

12/25/2008 8:59:25 PM

wow, this game just got broke

two huge exploits and another unrelated scandal

might have to wait awhile

2/17/2009 1:38:56 PM

Me, darthmattino and Motiak were on a rape team but we got promoted into the WE AA too fast, so the average level of our starters was around 34 and we were playing 44+ level teams. The owner sold all the players and I guess is starting new.

What are you people up to?

3/10/2009 12:07:43 PM

Playing on an Africa Pro Team as a DE. Been with the team for the last 5 or so seasons. Hoping to make some noise in the playoffs this year since we have been making adjustments for the change in intensity moving into the pro league.

3/10/2009 1:21:59 PM

It sucks trying to get production out of DEs this season, but my DT is still a beast.

3/10/2009 2:53:15 PM

South American pro team, been there since the day i signed up. Level 50 SS. I've gotten pretty bored with it, its too hard to level up now.. i only check it every couple days to spend my training and hope nobody wants me to change my tactics a lot

3/10/2009 6:12:53 PM

I own a team in SE Asia AAA2. We have won an A title in season 5 and an AA title last season. AAA has been tough this year so far. We have moved up a bit fast, but are finding some guys here lately that should help us out.

I love the game, but if I didn't own and OC/DC for some teams it would definitely lose its luster. One day I want to own a team full of my own players, but that would get costly to boost everyone. I will probably go in with about 5 or 6 people and create a full team once my team gets old and starts declining.

3/11/2009 5:52:19 PM

I'm on a team in SEA AA #4, which team do you own in AAA #2?

3/11/2009 6:04:34 PM

I am going to build an entire team of SUPER slow built players. I have a 6 season plan all set out including the exact details of what to do day to day. My teammates right now are about 50/50 on whether it will be worth it but I think Bort keeps making changes that are advantageous to super slow building. BTW it will only be super slow built until I get them on a LVL 13 cap team starting with season 5, then they will be treated like any other player (boosting/custom eq/adv eq).

I own the Shanghai Buccaneers. We are in the Naga Conference. We have struggled a bit moving up from AA as I didn't want to change the team up much. However I have added a few level 43+ players in the last few days and I hope to get a win streak going at some point this year.

I have been scrambling a bit in the last few days to prevent going 4-12. Everything that seemed to work the last few seasons isn't going so well now.

3/11/2009 8:09:27 PM

you gotta run the football. passing doesn't work this season

3/11/2009 8:56:30 PM

Gotcha, I own the starting DT on the Padang Orangutans in AA #4 http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=675409 and I'm hoping that we make it up to AAA #2 after this season. We've been borderline the past two seasons, I'm hoping we have enough to make a playoff push this season.

3/11/2009 8:57:22 PM

^ What is your secret to the DT. A lot of the guys on my team have around 90-100 strength, 50-60 speed and 70-80 agility. I guess it is ok on run stopping but I don't get any pass rush from them.

Is it better to go with 70 strength and 100+ agility?

Nice, that is what I was thinking. The 7 in shed blocks and the 3 in blitz from advanced equip is good too.

I might get one of our DT's to shift all their equipment from strength to agility. Problem is it gets expensive.

3/11/2009 9:37:46 PM

Yeah, it really only makes sense for the DT though, NTs tend to be better off with more str.
