USA AAA: Centerville Utopians 26 - Gilroy Devils 14 - FINAL

[ZeekLTK]

Alright, let's stop sulking over Dallas and get ready to start a winning streak again! How are we going to beat these guys?

[fiz]

fizzly jones is going to have a pick 6 this game, i can feel it.

[jgully]

Score more points and not let them score as many points.

[borman48]

From what I've seen of Gilroy, they look like they want to run a "Coryell" style offense, with lots of power running and deep passes. I dont think either would succeed well against us, as we have a solid interior line and good speed at DB. If I have more time tomorrow I'll come up with a better hypothesis, but we'll see.

[truSteh]

I know I'm gonna catch TD's this time! Just no chance of dropping passes.

New QB Rooney Ferguson was asked about this game. He's reply, "I must break you."

[borman48]

Also, they have no human DT/NT. They have a lvl 4 CPU DT and 2 lvl 3 NT. With how much we have run to the outside lately, they may not prepare for us to go up the middle. Just a little tidbit for y'all in the morning.

[shakeyjake448]

Ron Mexico has Achilles Troy(their level 7 RB) on lockdown.

[DHawkeye]

Gilroy Defense:

AVG rush yds allowed/game - 144
AVG pass yds allowed/game - 205

Their defense is obviously somewhat spotty. There were 3 games where their opponent did not gain 100 yds rushing, but it 2 of those games they gained nearly 300 yards through the air (the other was a win over a bad team). They do, however, have a level 8 CB (the rest of their secondary are level 5's), who definitely poses a threat.

They have improved a lot since starting the season 0-4, and we can't take them lightly just because they have a losing record.

[Milo]

Man, I feel sorry for scouts/game planners this season. With all the new injection of owners and players, teams have added and lost players like crazy before every game. Just yesterday we were firm favorites, but opponents continue to add new and better users.

When teams finally start to settle and development starts becoming a factor, we should have the edge. All teams are just so unpredictable right now.

Haha hopefully Devon Kennard Lvl 4 DE can help out too :D

The reason I joined up here was I knew everyone here would be really competent with the player development and strategy. I think we'll do well.

Any strategy planned out yet for the next game? And where should I put emphasis (run / pass)?

usually by 10pm we have it..I'm going to start posting it on our private in game forum as well ...along with any special instructions for players and their own advanced player tactics

[ClemTigerSC]

Ron Mexico has Achilles Troy(their level 7 RB) on lockdown.

Yeah - That level 7 RB is a little intimidating. We gotta shut him down.

I wish we could set the amount of playing time but we cant..just the sub in and sub out %. Hopefully you'll rock and get a ton o plays.

[ClemTigerSC]

what determines whether or not a player is subbed in / out besides the sub %?

[TubbyChooChoo]

that is it right now..i know people are asking for playing time control on the GLB forums..but who knows

[DHawkeye]

what determines whether or not a player is subbed in / out besides the sub %?

The play call. Sometimes the CPU decides to go 4 wides, so they sub out the FB and TE and put in extra WR's (and the defense will often respond in kind, subbing out LB's for DB's). But we have no control over that either.

[ClemTigerSC]

I think I'll do well with PT even though I'm not starting since I'm backing both DE up...I hope so at least.

Oh ya//true true

hopefully they'll give us some control over formations some day

[Papa LoneStar]

I, P.J. Shirlee, should have 26.66 stamina and 94 energy for tommorrow's game....ready to wreck havoc! :D

Here's another question:
What happens if were to win the championship? Like how do the individual players benefit from team success?

I don't think any of us know but I would imagine we would get a huge boost to experience or something.

[Papa LoneStar]

[laugh]....Yea....I checked that out....do you think I should go to balanced instead of concetrating on the run? I just love shredding double teams against running plays....but it's up to you....:D

[worst2first]

Lee Nover should be level 7 as soon as the game updates (currently sitting at 930 exp) and he's hungry, hungry for pancakes!

[TubbyChooChoo]

[laugh]....Yea....I checked that out....do you think I should go to balanced instead of concetrating on the run? I just love shredding double teams against running plays....but it's up to you....:D They have a badass RB ...I might stick with shutting down the run.

[FieldingBLUE]

Since O'Payne and Vinson played today, their energy will only be in the 80s for their first game with Centerville.

[Papa LoneStar]

They have a badass RB ...I might stick with shutting down the run.

Motivation! :D

[TubbyChooChoo]

Since O'Payne and Vinson played today, their energy will only be in the 80s for their first game with Centerville.

Thats cool we need them to play back up tomorrow anyway - it should be perfect.

[ClemTigerSC]

I'm shutting down the run.
28.6 stam / 100 energy - I'm bringing the buns for hamburger.

edit: I'm glad I decided to opt for stamina - we're still thin at DE even with me backing up. I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger issue in your previous games.

[fiz]

so are mtneer and i just going to swap starting roles each game? 'cause i'm happy with that if he is.

[TubbyChooChoo]

so are mtneer and i just going to swap starting roles each game? 'cause i'm happy with that if he is.
Thats purely an auto sort thing...you guys are just going back and forth...maybe if someone has a really big game you could stake a claim on the starters job... purposely alternating starts is also an option for sure especially if you are the same level

[fiz]

up to him. if we're going to battle for the starting job .. that's fine too.

[MtneerManiac]

Unless one of us has like 10 tackles and the other one has like 2, I support the switching option. Since we're both the same level, and we get the same amount of plays in the end with the substitution ratio that's set.

It's just nice to say "Hey! I started!" :D

EDIT: Or, we could make two different types of players, and have said person start according to the type of team we're playing. For instance, one of us could make a run stopper while the other makes a pass stopper. If we did that, I'd prefer to be the run stopper, since I've sort of speced my guy out for that anyway. :p

[Gooksta]

I cant wait to get one of my guys up on the american team.. then I would have a game everyday!! [glare]

That would be ideal. Specialization is going to be a factor in this game...especially when then come in with nickle and dime backs etc.

The dang auto sort has been telling me forever he should be our punt return man...after the fumble on a punt return which cost us the game in essence, we'll give him a shot this week.
Maybe because there are no good punters yet [they all kick it around 25 yards] you need a tough guy to catch it...since the cover team is right on ya!
:)

Can't wait to see what happens.

[TubbyChooChoo]

Looking at the match-up screen this morning you have to really like our chances today.

OVERALL we have them 24/21

Our blocking is 24 and running 21 / against their run def 21
Our passing 21 and receiving 18 /their pass def 18

Our run defense 21 / their running 21 blocking 21
Our pass defense 18 /their receiving 15 their passing 21

We have them in kicking as well 33/27

good luck boys!

[FieldingBLUE]

TOP is not in the starting lineup, but I have a feeling he'll see plenty of action.

[Estes]

Could you list the punt team? And also, please put the fastest guys as the two second from last people. I have noticed that our speed burners have been playing the contain people (last on either side). That's a good idea but as show here (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=381479) and especially here (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=381664) Cooper Conner, who has 33.38, just stops and waits for the defender to get to him giving up crutical yards. Why not put Connor second from last where he can bolt down field without having to worry about contain?

Good point.

But man, that's not realistic at all. The outside guys are always the gunners, whose only job is to fly to the ball. Weird. [rock]

Yeah I know. But I say still make them fast, just don't put the fastest out there. That seems to be why we give up so many punt yards. They run 10 yards and wait for them to get there.

Oh, wait, that's another game, nevermind. :D

[Milo]

:(

We only have one runningback. We need all your energy you have for that. :p

[lseknightpride]

Who is second string at HB?

edit- I looked for myself. It's fullback Temple O'Payne. He's a beast and the obvious choice.

[Catch28]

Lightning and Thunder baby :D

[Milo]

What's Hank Murphy? Lightning, Thunder, and Molasis?

[lseknightpride]

I don't know if this has been done, but we should probably throw away from their #1 corner. Attack their #2 corner when we pass.

[Catch28]

2 Thunders and one lighting that doesn't really know where it's striking.

[TubbyChooChoo]

I don't know if this has been done, but we should probably throw away from their #1 corner. Attack their #2 corner when we pass.
We can't really tell the computer to sim that [yet!] Hopefully they add features like that later on...but I am trying something similar today...our #1 WR is in the #2 slot. If the program reads player levels first it won't matter he'll be matched against their best CB...but if the program reads what slot you are in [ie #1 WR or #2 WR] and matches it with the defensive counterpart...weez in bizness!

Just a thought, with Estes' idea. I'm not sure if it says or not, but if not let's figure out what "ST" lines up with what position they take on the field.

[Skeeter]

I expect a win, but the suspense is killing me.

[TubbyChooChoo]

Tubby did you look at this? Better hurry before the game sims.

I did not see it..the game roster is already locked... we don't set the punt team anyway...kick-off and kick return only....do they use our kick-off team with a punter to punt? Probably not...not sure how they get the punt team.

[AKS-74]

It's simming right now. My energy for my two players are down in the 60s from the 90s a couple minutes ago.

Hooking sucks at PATs. I have no idea why. [down]

Dang, no INTs today, but I got 7 tackles, so thats alright.

[AKS-74]

Finally the stupid site loaded up for me. I tried to reload the page and it took forever until it just finally did so after the game finished simulating.

Good job on the win boys. We are once again in the Top 4. And we have a chance to move closer to the Top 3 with these last couple games simming.

[FieldingBLUE]

So why did it sim early...I was going to check back at 1:50 to "watch" it. Oh, well.

[Milo]

Dang, I had a bad day punting.

Must have had a bad wind out there. PATs are a coin flip for Hooking it seems.

But we're up to fourth and we just need to keep up there so we have an 'easier' team in the first round. Nice job, Utopians.

[Estes]

Dude, look how close this was to pinning them at the one.

Should have been a TD, have no idea why their returner went out of bounds. Thank goodness.

[Estes]

I have a real problem with outkicking my coverage:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=437480

every pass deflection and 2 of my tackles came from when I was playing CB. what happened to our CBs?

[Milo]

I have a real problem with outkicking my coverage:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=437480

My coverage doesn't get the to them until the returner usually gets to the 40 yard line. Though, I saw I boomed one 68 yards which eclipsed my last best of 63.(On KO, no FGs attempted today, but 2/4 on PATs).

[lseknightpride]

Our kicker/punter are the best in the league.

[TubbyChooChoo]

How bout that Temple O'Payne mofo!!! Our run game was monster! We smashed it down the middle like nobody's biz.

[lseknightpride]

We should continue to do that. Our line will keep getting better and other teams didn't get as much of a head start on developing a power run game as we did. It will be unstoppable.

[borman48]

Jesus christ, Borman, 6 Pancakes!? I hope you brought plenty of syrup, that's ridiculous. [wow] :D

:o Is the game engine based on NCAA's? I think I even forgot to set my tendencies to run block. [oops]

Dont know if the #1 receiver at the #2 slot worked so well Earl only had 1 catch....3 returns for 99yrds, isnt bad. Good win guys good win,

I want more catches:)

[ClemTigerSC]

2 Tackles, not bad. I'm happy with the 51 plays though.

Congrats on the win guys.

How in the hell do you miss TWO XPs?

[worst2first]

Our offensive line is developing very nicely. I was glad to see Lee Nover finally get a couple of pancakes. I want to go through the play by play and see who allowed the sack. Hopefully it wasn't Lee.

[ClemTigerSC]

Well yeah, but the higher seed you have the easier the road to the Championship is.

True, I think we'd be fine as the three seed, although San Fran. seems to be pretty stacked.

It wasn't really anybodies fault. The LB came on a delayed blitz up the middle, and nobody picked him up.

[AKS-74]

Exactly. I'd rather make the playoffs as #3 and play the #2 in the second round, than make the playoffs as the #4 seed and have to play the #1 seed in the second round.

Though even playing as the #4 seed will do, and I am confident we will still kick ass on our way to the championship.

[TubbyChooChoo]

They blitzed us all damn day. :D

[DHawkeye]

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=437145

Borman and I DESTROYED the DE on this double team. :D

[ClemTigerSC]

Exactly. I'd rather make the playoffs as #3 and play the #2 in the second round, than make the playoffs as the #4 seed and have to play the #1 seed in the second round.

Though even playing as the #4 seed will do, and I am confident we will still kick ass on our way to the championship.

We definitely have a shot. However, right now, we are not the favorite. We've got to develop a good bit before then - I think teams like San Fran. would be rated substantially above us.

[Catfish]

Our offensive line is developing very nicely. I was glad to see Lee Nover finally get a couple of pancakes. I want to go through the play by play and see who allowed the sack. Hopefully it wasn't Lee.Probably my fault for missing the line call...but it was a six man rush and that will happen from time to time.

Yeah, the only person who wasn't engaged on a block was the TE, and there was just no way he was going to get across the entire line to block the LB.

On Temple's second TD, the suspense of what happens when he hits the SS at the one-yard line is killing me. [laugh]

I told y'all we was comin' off the edge! 10 combined hurries and a sack between The Jazz and Yakuba Haigler

This is beautiful... Dakota to Skeeter on a post TD (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=437604)!!!

I'm back to needing the damn ball! :D


That LBs shoes are still on the goal line where I juked him on the inside move.

How in the hell do you miss TWO XPs?

I wish I knew. My kicking is 56, my "Auto-Matic" special ability is 3. Maybe it's my vision at 13(It's the only I'm currently focusing my training on).

i'd just keep training kicking and add some strength.

That was a nice TD pass and move for the TE.

Yeah, when I level, I go 3 kicking, 1 vision, 1 strength. But the reason I think vision may be a problem is:

Vision - Did you see that hole open to the left? Can you see the goalposts? Vision helps ALL players know what is going on around them. It is very important for QBs "threading the needle" with passes. It's also sort of the "6th sense" of predicting what your opponent is going to do when blocking or trying to break blocks.

But certainly PATs should be makeable regardless.

[mad maxx]

Right now it's very hard to gage what ratings will work the best. I saw a similar problem with the K on my first team. He boosted every kicking aspect and still had problems. I'm thinking that you need to also balance out the other categories too.

Plus they weren't even flukes, there was consistent pressure, and we were both there on every hurry.

Well, Estes has similar abilities in punting and is only getting it an average of in the 20s per punt, I think. So I just think kickers start out awful in these games and it'll take awhile to build them up. I hope.

The attributes I have figured are important are: Kicking(56), Strength(13.84), Vision(13.96), and Confidence(30). So I'm going to continue just focusing on the first three and seeing how far that takes me. It was probably a bad idea to invest in my Special Abilities so much so early: Calm Nerves(2), Big Boot(2), Auto-Matic(3).

But I created Hooking the first day this thing came to Utopia, and I'm(like others) are still learning what works and doesn't.

That seems to be the norm for most punters right now. I haven't seen to many that have a normal average.

Haha that was well done. Hopefully Devon can get in on some of that action next game.

[GTster]

I always have a decent number of tackles considering the number of plays I get. If I ever get my energy up, watch out!

[Catch28]

Temple with his first two TDs. That kid can play.

helps when dj puts him inside the 5...

;)

[fignuts]

What's Hank Murphy? Lightning, Thunder, and Molasis?

Haha. Lightning, Thunder, and a Mack Truck? Hard to wrap up, but slow as hell.

TOP was great, but HM had 10 broken tackles! Wow!

I'm the next Mike Alstott. LOL. No one can bring him down.

[Milo]

Haha. Lightning, Thunder, and a Mack Truck? Hard to wrap up, but slow as hell.

I remember you had a great run on one of our better drives when you ran over two-linebackers, one even met you in the hole and you just blew right over him.

[Catch28]

SS gets juked (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=437341)

[whiteyc_77]

I hate that I didn't get a return, but I'm quite pleased with being 2nd in tackles and coming up with the only INT of the day. Not to mention coming in on offense and snagging a pass!

I have to commend the offensive line for an outstanding effort today. Great job, gentlemen.
