Time waster for football/rpg fans

Anybody played this thing? I just started one to see what the deal was. You basically create a football player, get him signed by either a computer team or a player-created one. I dunno, just checking it out myself. It says it's a MMORPG, just web-based though.

 

It's free.

 

It might be a little confusing, so let me explain how it works.

 

When you first register, you won't get any emails at all. Then, create a character. You start off with 400 flex points, and it costs 300 to make a QB, RB, or WR. 200 for Defensive player, FB, or TE, and 100 for Oline, Kicker, or Punter. You then get 15 skill points which you use to improve your player. You can level up your player by getting 1000 xp(through training and/or in game playtime).

 

Now, you have a couple of option. You could look at the top of the screen and click on the Contracts link. It might say 0, but there are usually 3 contracts from CPU teams for you. Click Accept and you have just joined a team.

 

You can also go on the forums, and go to the 'Players looking for a Team, and just say lvl X looking for a team, and post your player page. If you are a guard or tackle, chances are you'll get a big contract and start. If you are in a position thats really filled, like QB, LB, or RB, then chances are you will get low pay to be a backup on a decent team. you will still get playing time, but not a lot.

 

It's all a simulation, so you don't actually play. Give it a shot. It's pretty decent, and they have around 100000 people (although some are probably inactive). I just started a few days ago, and it's fun.

Damn it! I thought it was "soccer" not lame American football. hmph

[Dr. Rodney McKay 0]

Soccer isn't football. Football is football.

 

Seems pretty fun. I love time wasters like these. Football rocks.

"soccer" was football long before american football was invented o.O; people all over the world played it in the medieval ages xD also the fact that's it's called FOOTBALL... foot, ball... considering in american football you hardly ever use your feet with the ball... besides, american football is just rugby with padding o.o;

[Luk3us 63]

Rugby with padding and every few minutes they switch the entire team over.

Football, Aussie rules football, Rugby. It's all better then soccer.

pish. i'll stick to british football >-> it's nice and simple and still the world's most popular game o.o fact.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

football > soccer

[Luk3us 63]

You do realise depending on where you come from, that statement makes absolutely no sense right?

[Mina Synd 0]

XD! like i said i'll stick to british football and ain't no-one gonna change my mind >-> american football is boring o.O;

[Doctor Destiny 41]

You do realise depending on where you come from, that statement makes absolutely no sense right?

Nah. We all know American football is the only real football in the world.

[Dr. Rodney McKay 0]

I find that Soccer is boring. Every single game comes down to the last two minutes. Nothing ever happens that's explosively awesome.

 

Plus, there's no Kelly Holcomb and his terrible Quarterbacking to laugh at. Sad but true.

[Luk3us 63]

Nah. We all know American football is the only real football in the world.

 

The world being the US of course.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

The world being the US of course.

Psh.

[Luk3us 63]

 

Seemed semi appropriate.

That map is incorrect. Canada doesn't exist. It's a myth.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

If you didn't want one, don't bring it up.

[Mina Synd 0]

silence! I KEEL YOU

I guess we figured out what most people thought about the game. <_<

Thanks Luk3us you just summed up what all non-americans were pretty much gonna post

[Mina Synd 0]

agreed bio XD but since i probably can't say anything without offending the americans i'm gonna leave it at that for today X3;

[Gben 20]

silence! I KEEL YOU

 

LOL! Nice quote there mina.

 

 

I have several soccer-mad friends, and whether we like the game or not, we all have to admit it's the only game that is correctly named!

anyone watching the -football- euro cup? even though the uk didn't make it past the qualifiers due to a sucky ass coach, i'm still watching every match o.o; been good matches, been bad matches. the france - romania match was awful cos both sides were playing for a draw... but the spain - russia match was hella good o.o ( 4 - 1 to spain )
