Interesting concept. Create a player, level him up. Games every other day. If you create a good enough player, you can get big contracts. Still in the beta format, but it's getting very popular quick.

Say wha? The site requires login too see anything apparently, and it looks amateur-ish.

Yeah, it is a referral link, and if you don't want to use that link, that's fine by me. Just figured if people want to join, might as well help a guy out. When you do sign up, it doesn't make a huge difference whether you joined through the referral or not.

Here's the link to join without the referral:



LINK



For more of an explanation of the game:

You create a player and choose a position. Each position will cost a certain amount of flex points. You start off with 400 flex points. Each position costs a different amount (i.e. QB is 300, OL is 100). You can buy more (with real money) or get more through referrals (thus my initial post with the referral link). With the flex points, you can level up your player (up to three times a season).

Once you create a player, you have to find a team. Before, you'd be offered 3 contracts from CPU run teams. Now, all the teams are human controlled, so you kind of have to sell yourself. They have forums where you can try to find teams.

Once you join a team, you can gain XP points through game experience and training. When you level up, you can add more attributes to your player (i.e. strength, speed, vision, tackling, etc.). One season lasts a little over a month.

It's pretty fun. Doesn't take up too much time.

One thing to consider when creating a player, increase your stamina. If your stamina is high, you will bet more playing time. With more playing time, you get more XP.

Oh noes, he might get some in-game points if we use his link! That'd be awful!

So, I still don't quite get it, do you actually play football with other people or is just kinda watching your player play? Can you get any actual money?

The games I believe are simulated. But the coach or GM or owner can control who gets benched, how much playing time each player can get, philosophy of the team (i.e. passing vs. running), and among other things.

I didn't mention that there's a part of the game where you can own a team. The only thing is, all the teams are taken, so we need to wait for the admins to get their new servers up. A bunch of people waiting to buy new teams.

Shelaby: I'm on a team, but it's literally falling apart. The owner wants to sell off all his players. If you want to join a team, you can go to the forums and they have a section where you can try to advertise your player. If i were you, I'd try to get the stamina of your player around 20, people seem to like that. It'll get you more playing time.

My general rule of thumb is that un-documented referral links stink of spamming and free ipods. If you post a link that is a referral, please document it and provide a non-referral one also for those who don't want to share.

Tallbill Tallbill, Fullback, suck.

Is the server horribly slow or is that just me?

If you all are having trouble getting onto a team, post share your attributes with everyone and post a link to your player in the forums. Owners like players that are active, so if they see you trying to actively get onto a team, they may sign you up. Good luck.

Also, they have no teams available right now. They're getting new servers to handle all the new teams they're about to create.

Sounds fair enough. I changed the original post to reflect this.

It really is a pretty fun game. Thought I'd share it with the anandtech community. Enjoy!

No, you can create more. The problem with this game is that you have to either buy flex points or sign people up with referrals if you ever plan on leveling up past level 2.

Sorry to bump this, but they just created some new teams, so it should be much easier to get signed onto a team now. Also, easier to buy a team.

Not a lot of interest on here? The game has made a lot of strides.

I have 2 players... a lvl 16 LB and a lvl 12 OT. You don't have to spend any money if you don't want to...as 'paying' only gets you 3 levels per season, and seeing as how its the 2nd season, and my LB is a lvl 16, obviously you can move past level 2 without spending anything.

Its fun!
