same here.

[Cerevant]

Ok, try it now - I think I got it.

[Sgt PSN]

Signed up but when I tried logging in I kept getting rejected. 

[Cerevant]

Does it say invalid username/password, or does it say your account may be broken?

[Zanshin]

It's his heart that's broken, what with all that rejection.

[Sgt PSN]

Invalid username/password.

It's his heart that's broken, what with all that rejection.

You have no idea how impossible it is to get over you. 

[Cerevant]

Hm...well, I deleted your account, give it another shot.

[Sgt PSN]

Cool, I'm in. 

2 Girls, 1 Football

So where's the "donate" feature?  I've got like $50 and absolutely nothing to do with it.  $30 for me and $20 for my fake girlfriend.  We met at the gym and tonight I'm taking her to a bar. 

I can't find the crystals either.  But it shouldn't be called crystals.  It should be Gatorade or something.   

[Cerevant]

No donate - I'm not doing this for the bucks.  Maybe when the game gets to the point that FF isn't ridiculing it, you can shower me in cash for your gratitude.

No crystals or gatorade (good idea!) - I still need to figure out what to do with them.

Couple suggestions:

Stadiums (2 suggestions to go with it)

I notice there's a "property" on the general info page next to your name, but nothing there.  Perhaps property could be stadiums.  Start out on a pee wee field then to highschool stadium, then to D3 college, D2, D1, CFL, NFL.....or something like that.  The better your stadium, the less likely you are to suffer injuries or something.

Also, maybe you could include some sort of home field advantage.  If I challenge you, the game goes on my turf and maybe I get some sort of "crowd boost."  Also, the opposing team will "play down" or "up" to that level of field. 

Let's say I've got a HS field and you've got a D1 field and I challenge you.  Your team would be more suseptible to injury than it would if the game were being played on your field.  And vice versa, my team would be less injury prone when playing on your field. 

It would definitely be one way to keep people proactive in challenging each other. 

Training Staff:

I'm stealing this idea from Madden.  You can buy training staffs which helps your players recover faster from injury.  Maybe have something similar on CB.

Items:

Training equipment, medicine for recovery, etc.

Drills:

Instead of committing crimes, different training drills (like Madden) that can help boost stats.

I think Hype should regenerate faster.  Also, maybe health can regenerate faster when you're in the training room?

[Cerevant]

any plans yet for the Money or Experience?

Experience currently increases your Injury cap, Hype and Streak caps.  I'm looking to do more, but I'm not sure what yet.

As for money, I'm open to suggestions.  Maybe you will have to buy arenas, perhaps pay free agents...not sure yet.

I did have a brainstorm about a new game mode: running the gauntlet.  You play 10 straight games against random (?) opponents without resting in between.  Completing something like that might be good for a reward.

I also don't know what to do with OTAs (brave) yet.

[Cerevant]

I think Hype should regenerate faster.  Also, maybe health can regenerate faster when you're in the training room?

I'm trying to avoid making the game reward obsession like FC does, where you basically have to play every half hour or fall behind.   I would like someone to be able to play 3 or 4 times a day and keep up with someone who tinkers around with it all day.  Tough task.

[Diomedes]

Fair enough.

At this point, there isn't much tinkering to do.

The gauntlet idea sound like a good one. 

Experience is extremely hard to get.  For each game I win, I lose three.  Is there another way to gain experience?  What would it mean to gain a level?
