- Scheduling "friendlies:" We've purchased some extra sim servers with the express purpose of using them for this. It'll cost 25 FP's per team to schedule the game, and we will probably give a free friendly or two per team per season.



what are "friendlies"
like a scrimmage game you can buy?

Bort, since you are going to have a "shopping" feature, I'm going to ask for a "make it rain on them hoes" feature.

What do we have on tap next?

- One thing I think we are lacking is player recognition and reputation, as in "who are the big names?" Therefore, players will have a new "fame" rating.

You'll build up fame points over time for doing various things like playing well against similar or better competition, signing high value contracts, using certain training options (from above), etc. - basically the kind of stuff famous players do. Details aren't 100% hashed out yet. I'll probably do something to generate a base value for existing players based on their histories.

There will be a "most famous" page to compete with your friends over, haha.

Fame will help your player gain endorsement deals, command a higher salary, and high levels of fame will help you gain deals from top flight companies. Endorsement deals will give players access to special equipment that would not be available otherwise.


Awesome idea with the Fame and Endorsements. Question regarding this. Will high profile teams add more fame value. For example everyone knows the Cobra Kai and Chicago Mustangs. Will being on these popular teams increase fame and therefore raise the endorsement possibilities?


I would think not, considering...

my first question would be.. who and who?

I doubt very highly any type of endorsement "things" would have any tie isn to the team itself, except based on wins/losses.

No, they can leave if they don't get paid (voiding the contract).


How many days? The very first day they don't get paid? 3 days after?


Miss 3 days of payments and they can cut themselves.


I think one should be enough. Will really make you responsible.

Hey Bort,

Can you say a word about playing out of position penalties for DEs playing LB in a 3-4 defense? I know that many NFL teams draft smaller, quicker DEs as ideal 3-4 LBers. Thanks!


DE => OLB isn't a bad hit. I specifically thought of 3-4 when setting up the penalties.

OK, question from a players end now. If they come back on day 2 and take out a loan, do you get your back pay?

And one last one from Owners view. Can I go further into debt this offseason? Or do the money changes go into effect then? -- NM Answered!

Can't be one day, but it's probably 3-5 days


I'm currently $222.80 in the red. I took out a loan early and bought a section on day 39 specifically because I realized after paying my last day of salaries I'd be $222.80 short to buy my expansion. I'll be able to pay back the loan and have plenty for my players equipment, etc after the first night of ticket sales, but if I have to worry about not being able to sign bonus's for free agents in the off season I might have to either sell back a section or sell one of my players in the off season. A situation I would prefer to avoid. I assume the money change will take effect after the offseason?


Doesn't go into effect until season 4 starts.

Hmm..didn't think of that actually. I guess it should keep track of back-pay owed and pay it at next rollover. Shouldn't be too hard to update.
