5. What needs to happen for you to decide that Beta is finished?

When I feel like there is no longer large updates needed, and we are ready to let the userbase know they can expect only small updates. There are so many potential additions and ideas, that may be a while.

15. What are the short term (1-3 years) and long term (3 years+) goals for GLB?

Continue to work on the football simulation engine, Add more features/depth to GLB, Improve Look and Feel, Add Baseball to our lineup. Those are some of the general goals we have.

Pretty much. Getting a development team together for a baseball offering, and getting that project up and running. is one of our major goals of the next 6 mos-yr, along with nailing down some of the missing components from GLB.

Sure you want to run two betas at once? I'd think finish one before starting the other...or at least be able to expand the staff enough so that it doesn't siphon needed energy away from completing this game.

I'm pretty sure that development of the baseball game will not commence until the football game has reached a stage where it is either out of beta or very close to being out of beta.

The unofficial GLB Draft is very successful and adds yet another lifelike element to the game. It is ran well and hundreds have alot of fun participating in this. Why can't it be OFFICIALLY recognized and promoted? At the very least why can't the staff that run it be recognized for their efforts to make GLB even more fun?

Don't know the answer to this one. Perhaps another Admin can chime in?

Not sure if there is homefield advantage yet, but what do the admins think about this advantage (maybe a +% to some attributes)?

there is a VA for that.

LionsLover is correct - there is a VA for that. At the time, there are no other advantages for homefield being considered.

Question about teams... Are all people that are on the list normally given a team and if now up to what number on the wait list normally get a team?

I know, but shouldn't it still apply to lower level leagues? I'm mainly talking about a competitive league like PeeWee.

What's the VA situation this offseason? Can we please move them all freely again because goddamn it makes my life as an owner/co-ordinator easier

This and also note that no coding has even begun for the baseball game yet. It is certainly on the 6mo to a year horizon, but ideally GLB will be at a more fine tuned point by the time major programming begins on baseball.

One area of the game that's still pretty vague but extremely important is the anti-PD roll. The uncertainty about this aspect of the game has a lot to do with why there are so many speed builds.

Could you give us an idea what skills affect this roll for receivers, and ideally the hierarchy of those skills. If some of these skills are covered under Ball Hawk, would that VA's bonuses be active during the roll? Do SA's such as Sticky hands affect the roll?



Sticky hands affecting it: no. That's what "Swat Ball" is for.

Focus is mainly on jumping and vision, and the ability to get in position (so your speed/agility/vision for that). More catching will help turn PD's to INT's. Strength helps if the receiver you're competing with is strong, if it's a jump ball.

why can't all VA's be listed on the PBP when they fire? Just for QB, RB, TE, WR on offense, and whoeven makes plays on defense....I mean spin but no juke? monster hit..but no closing speed? I understand if you watch enough dots you can tell when it's a juke or a pump fake but I would like to see for example if stickyhands fires when an interception happens, or when it is indeed a pump fake when a cb just stops?

No new VA's are planned on being added this offseason. There might be a few small changes made to existing ones.

You implied that the passing game changes that are under test are centering on increasing the importance of agility/vision (decreasing the overall speed of defenders' reactions). Can you expand a bit on where you guys are targeting the balance in importance between speed, agility, and vision, both in the passing game, and in general?

Bort answered this in the Q & A - it's because it would make the pbp too long and unreadable.

Sorry, what I meant was will we get the full reset again or will we be limited to 15?
