Gotham Knights Football

[Beaver]

I have a question. We call the Knights a "minor league team" but who exactly are we going to replace on the Czars? Aren't there roster limits in place? It'll be a while before we need to retire our guys. Just wondering.

 

[Djaughe]

J-dubya 7 - FYI

Yer contract will get restructured when you hit level 8.

 

[Pariah]

I want to say "sorry".

Pfft.

Whatever, ********.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]Yer right - Some of the Czars (i.e. Kal-el, Emil,) started in season 1...when season 10 hits - then they will get go through drastic decline in performance. Thats still 6 seasons to go...but during that time we wil need to look at players builds in comparison to levels.

For example:

Emil is a 24 lvl HB with the following
Scouting Report
Overall
33
Rushing
36
Receiving
27

Compare with Colton Kid at Lvl 17:
Scouting Report
Overall
27
Rushing
39
Receiving
27


The GLB folks are also working on "injuries" to start playing a role...I guess that may be a couple of seasons away.

I do know that teams are doing a "pyramid" thing and building farm teams thinking of the long term and their builds.

If ken would want, and I ask with the utmost respect, I can give a few tips on the D side. I am a defensive coach in real life and i run a succesfull D on GLB. If you have a question feel free to ask, if you want to run it without some guy telling what you should or shouldn't be doing I can totallty appreciate that. Let me know.

Thanks I'm sure we'll be picking yer mind.

The first problem is actually getting the AI to do something.

In the last game I just wanted something simple: IRLB blitz 100% time....well the setting only went in place during a 5 WR set.

So basically in the last game we didn't blitz at all.

Knights Balance $heet

You must be registered for see images attach

We need wins - We have 2 home games left that haven't sold many tickets and I can't lower the price if we expect to meet payroll.

Wins also equals more people buying nachos and foam fingers - so far we're averaging $201,000.00 per game.

At that pace we'll fall short by day 40 and won't be able to cut any more checks.

I'm not just asking - I'm saying it:

JUST WIN BABY!

Resign my guys to a league minimum contract. I have enough cash for any upgrades as it is right now.

LOL...All the guys are at a higher level and worth more.

You'll just have to take a cut in pay as the DC.

Just hold a bachelor auction. Sutcliffe is good for a cougar or two....or five.

EQUIPMENT (with bad bonuses)

Knights I was thinking we need to look at what our players have for equipment and if necessary make some changes to have them focus on the primary attributes.

You must be registered for see images

For example: The wrecking crew has all their equipment set to give bonus for blocking.

Please go over your equipment and if you find that yer targeting say "stamina" or a minor attribute - lets make a switch. Go and buy the equipment (don't sell the old yet) and see how you perform.

If yer short on cash - post here so we can rework your contract.

In fact I would prefer that your equipment target one specific attribute (For example NT/DT on strength) than some buffet table of varying attributes.

If you need help finding the primary attribute just ask or refer to this thread: General Info

Guys - I'm seeing some players use equipment to build their stamina and confidence, etc. It's quite a bit cheaper to "correct" the equipment now than when you hit level 24.

Your equipment points are more valuable in your primary skills once those stats hit the soft cap (48?). Take the temporary hit on confidence or stamina and build on those when you level next.

"Everything else" can be built back up through leveling - The temporary hit to the other attributes is worth it.

Once those stats hit the soft cap of 48, it will basically double the value of your equipment points once they are built back up since equipment points aren't affected by caps.

If you need help - just ask.

Last game we made $218,863.00 in Concession Sales in today's game - which is awesome.

We're not sold out yet fer the 100 yard sdln seats (last 2 games) - but I'm gonna hold on my price to see if the 2 game winning streak will bump up sales. If nothing happens by 8/22/08 then I'll ease up on the pricing.

I did some rough figuring with the cash on hand and projected concession sales ($200k avg) - we should have about $80k left by season 5 day 1.

Which brings up another challenge - the entire roster has contracts ending on Season 5 day 1...with the automatic bonus kicking in fer upper level players its gonna cost money which could impact stadium construction.

Looking at the calendar - season ticket sales start before daily salary is deducted.

I'm gonna get some contracts out the door to resign the lower tier players to avoid the min. bonus part.

That will help in maximizing stadium seat construction in the first couple days of the season and pay-off the $1.5 mil loan for an endzone section.

After we get out of the financial woods - I'll then re-issue contracts with bonus money.

 

[jf-08]

Sounds good.

 

[Djaughe]

[Djaughe]

Reminder - keep training...even if yer not at 100% by game time.

I'll tweak the depth chart and energy settings today.

 

[Beaver]

We end the season with 4 winnable games. WE CAN DO IT!

Knights who should get nods:

Shepherd German

Slade Wilson

Dick Sutcliffe

Sorry to those I may have missed. We're a bit of a late blooming team as well, which hurt our statistical impact.

 

[Djaughe]

....K Zoon Safety...

A free safety as kicker?

You trying to dilute the vote so Shulkie Walters can sneak in?

Clearly I screwed the copy/paste pooch.

If I remember right it was Jason Hanson or something.

He really stood above everyone else.

Walters has an outside shot, but her 40-49 range hurt her.

Reminder!

During the playoffs - jack yer training to intense.

Good time to bring up those secondary attributes. (i.e. jumping, carrying, etc.)

Good time to bring up those secondary attributes. (i.e. jumping, carrying, etc.)

Remember we can only get training XP during the postseason - so everyone ratchet up their training to "Hard".

Take a look at yer secondary abilities (i.e. jumping, tackling, etc.) to see what could use some improvement.

We have about 7 days worth...till the season ends on day 40.

In some attributes that could be a bump in at least 3 SP!
