LOD (Game 16 Season 2)

[Pumchavas28]

BTHO Recife Gulls (http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=862&team2=229) !!!!!!!!!!

Lets go into the Post Season with a WIN!!!!!!!:gig:

[Pflugerville Ag]

Look for P-ville to have a monster game today with 2 TDs. Leveled up last game and added more speed and agility.

Also, didn't realize that once you get past a 50 in ability, it costs 2 points to increase.

[Pumchavas28]

Yeah & it seems that once you get to 50 on an ability, it is virtually pointless to train on that particular item also...


The number of points you get for training on that item goes down steadily once you get close to 50....

At which point you will need to start to train on something else....

I'm gonna need to find something else to train on besides stamina for all my players pretty soon.... :sad:

[Pumchavas28]

We won!!!!!!! :gig:

[Pumchavas28]

27-3. :gig:

[Pflugerville Ag]

Only 1 TD for P-ville, but we won.

[Pflugerville Ag]

How the hell did I score here...

[Pumchavas28]

Maybe you dove... ;)

But 4 missed tackles for the 2ndary.... :sad:


Oh well.. a win is a win....

[texags08]

Ok, i dont know what to say about the FB situation... It has to be some kind of glitch...


If Jamie O was the starter, then why was CJ in on the first drive????

[texags08]

i also changed around some of my equipment and my stamina was only 3 points lower than CJ's at the start.... :undecided:

So confused...

[texags08]

this is the same diff in stamina as Gravy and Blazing, and they had 7 and 10 rushes...

I don't know either... The # of plays don't change regardless of who is starting & it's odd really...

[zrf2002]

slow day for the db's..... this is the first game that ZAK ATTAK has just looked good in his uniform.... maybe they were scared to throw his way....:gig:

[Pumchavas28]

I'm not so much concerned with the stats.... I think if we can get the # of plays evened up the stats will follow....

But then again that is not always the case...

Gravy had 44 plays to Blazin's 36 plays... Yet Blazin had 10 carries & Gravy only had 7.

[texags08]

It just sucks that i have to try and stack his stamina just to get PT, esp when the FB's have the same stamina as the HB's... It is just going to turn sour because i know CJ will jack his stamina now that i am doing mine just so we can try and keep up with each other, but it is not making either of us any better.... I am all for the equal PT, it has nothing to do with that, rather i dont think we should be blowing up Stamina just to get the PT...

A quiet day for a DB in a win... is usually a good thing.

A quiet day for a DB in a loss... is usually a bad thing.

Well honestly... if both of you focus on Stamina, your other attributes will falter & then neither FB will be any good to us...

Which is not what we want/need.

It is a problem, and honestly I don't know what is going on...

[Agnlaw]

Looked like investments in Dix' speed & vision are paying off! I haven't looked at every pass they tried but I think he didn't allow 1 reception.

Here's why...all on one play.

Apparently, missed tackles are misleading. Apparently, if you have a blocker on you, it's harder to tackle. :)

[texags08]

This was an odd play:

We had 4 guys fly to that TE like he had the ball... :undecided:

Unfortunately, there's not a stat for totally shutting down their WR!!! :gig:

I totally agree and argued against the "Stamina for the sake of PT" idea earlier in the season. I wish there was some setting I could change that would even things out, but we really have done all we can do. Pum, have you emailed Bort about this yet or asked in the forums to see if anything can be done to figure out why the carry #s are so different even when the plays are close?

[Agnlaw]

IMO, investments in stamina should be more about depth than PT. In positions where we have a lot of depth, it isn't as important.

Agreed...


I wonder what CJ has his play intensity set at.... :undecided:

Yes I have... I sent it last week when the issue became obvious... I haven't heard back from him & it is still in bold in my outbox on GLB.

[txags92]

Man I just looked at the stats from the game on my phone and that FB situation is really unusual. 41 plays to 25 plays and 9 carries to 2. That just makes no sense at all given the settings and all that. Their stamina would have to be 8-10 points different to justify that big a of a difference in plays, and there is no reason for the backup to consistently get more than twice as many carries/play game after game...especially when the starter is running for a better per carry average. There just has to be a bug somewhere to cause that.

[txags92]

Nice day for Domingo Bryant and Rod Saddler...4 tackles and an Int for DB and 3 tackles, 1 sack, and one TFL for Rod. Defense really controlled their offense and our offense did a nice job putting up points against one of the better defenses in the league.

[KCAggie]

Anyone else see that Windsor (the team that killed us and everyone else) lost today. Makes you wonder how good the western conference is when their 4th place team beat them by 10 points and how good their number 1 team is.

[Pumchavas28]

I saw a thread about that.... If I am not mistaken,,, That is Windsors 2nd loss in 2 seasons....

[txags92]

The only two western conference teams to score more than we did against Recife were the team that beat Windsor today (they scored 30) and Lincoln, who is undefeated in that conference.

[whitelightnin_23]

huge game for Cart Hunter! :gig:
2 tackles, 3 hurries, 1 TFL, and 1 PD

I do not understand why our rushing game (all of us) is not taking off...
we have a great o-line & great fbs. We're hellova deep...and all have great speed.

Blazing had 10 carries for 22 yards and another fumble (didn't lose it)
I don't get it :sad:

[whitelightnin_23]

look @ cart on the pass coverage!!!
:gig:

[txags92]

You really need to look at the quality of the defense we are facing before you decide we aren't doing well rushing the ball. You also need to realize that stats here don't compare well to NFL per game stats. There are only 6 teams in our conference averaging more than 100 yds per game (and we are one of them). The team we just beat had the #3 or #4 rushing defense in the whole league (both conferences), yet we put almost 100 yards up on them. I like to use 100 yards (as a team) as a good measure of success running the ball and 2.5+ yards per carry is a good sign as well. 3+ is better, but 2.5+ yds per carry is a good day in this game against a good defense. We aren't putting up the gawdy numbers running like we did last year, but we are in a league with much better defenses this year, and it seems everybody stacks against the run first. I think the changes to the CPU sims that have made DL players more active this season also cut back on the success of the running game across the board.

[txags92]

Correction...Recife had the # 3 or 4 defense in the western conference against the run. I was going by memory and that is an iffy proposition lately.
