DO it, that is a good deal... and plus gettin offers can be hard

This is awesome guys! I've gotten 3 offers so far tonight...I'm feeling wanted lol!

I hope the season is as fun as this is...

yea that offer will last you til atleast level 10. i have a level 9 with that contract level and I train at normal and it is $675 per day. Should be plenty for the first season.

Just make sure that when you take an offer that your daily income is enough to support at least normal training. It wouldn't hurt to check into where you fit into their roster.

I keep reading that Stamina is a key building block for your player. You get no stats if you're guy can't stay on the field.

So if I'm seeing this correctly, you play like a real game of football with your teammates and you control your player?

I'm seeing videos like this one...http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1155254

I'm not sure how the gameplay works...anyone care to explain?

The games are just simulated, you don't really have any control.

You essentially manage the players career. You sign contracts, make decisions on training and play intensity, and assign attribute points in order to advance at your position.

Looks like there are around 90,000 members at this point. I keep seeing posts from the founders that the site has been much more popular than they had ever imagined.

I def recommend playing GLB, i have spent a ton of time on this and its a great use of time. I'm a level 5 WR but 5th on the depth chart so im currently looking for another team, any ideas?

I just signed my first contract. I'll be the starting SS for the Rhode Island Wolves....if anyone else is on that team, let me know...

HOTDON · 04-23-2008, 08:15 AM

Thanks to the guys who signed up through my referral link. The best advice I can give a new player is to look in the Newbie Questions forum and see what the best training method is for your player. I essentially wasted the first season trying to train a little bit of everything instead of spedicalizing. A lot of team owners will help you along too. My team (which is WAY down the totem pole of importance) has assigned and OC and a DC to help bring players up to match the coaching style of the team.

The great thing is that the game can be as deep or as shallow as you would like it to be.

They have just doubled the number of teams available, so there are WAY too many openings. Even new players at level 1 can get signed to rediculous contracts immediately.

If you're still thinking about getting in, do it now as a new season is going to start within the next week, and the number of players vs. teams is definitely in the players' favor.

Sign up and hit the forums. There is an entire section for "Teams Looking For Players". They are even posting for level 1 players.

I wonder how much money the founders are banking on this.

I'm sure enough to make it worth their while, but I'd bet it's mostly a labor of love. It has been blowing up though. I wouldn't ever pay money to advance my player, but the points are pretty cheap. There are probably alot of people willing to plunk down a couple bucks to boost their players.
