Maddenboard Football MMO
So I think most of us have seen or are in that goallineblitz league thing. It's a cool concept that seems to be catchy for a lot of people.
I made a player and have seen how things are done there.. there is NO DOUBT in my mind I could make something similar (and probably better) here at the board and integrate it to the board.
Our users could use the points they earn on the board the way they use thier 'FLEX' points. And it is something I am giving serious thought into putting the time into building.
IF I do this I would like to get feedback from board members on what they would like to see added, what features they would be interested in and how they would like it to be ran.
Doing this will obviously mean I will not be spending the time it takes me to set it up on our Sim League. But if it is as viral and catchy as thiers is it should also mean we become a much larger community, and I in turn may finally make some sort of income off this place instead of constantly paying to have it here.
And THAT will probably motivate me to get our SIM LEAGUE going again.
So.. what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad Idea?
Open up the think tank.

Sounds a cool idea, but will it be something that holds our intrest or just crashes and burns? There needs to be an incentive there, I've just gotten bored with goallineblitz already.
Just a thought if it does happen, I've found the way that goallineblitz rates/ranks players very confusing, maybe instead would it be possible to have a rating system more like Madden's

And that's a damn fine first post... Yes.. Be critical of the idea and by all means... Add to what could make the thing better, if you believe we should do this.

I think it's a great idea. One big difference I think would be best would be instead of just having the same 14 attributes for everyone you could just do specific position ones in addition to the physical ones. No reason a lineman needs punting or throwing, that is just pointless space.
My biggest question is the ability for the server(s) to hold all this, but you know a lot more about it that I do.

There will be NO server issues... The server I have is OVERKILL for what it does.
And yes.. Skills and stuff would make more sense than the ones they have.. This is ME we are talking about here..

Well, I want to be as honest as I can here, Cash.
Maybe you and others may not like it but I think I will tell you what I personally think of this idea and I hope that is okay.
Ok, lets go;
First off all, as I read that you wont have the time it needs to run the SIM LEAGUE if you do the other ‘league’ or whatever it is I already started to dislike the idea. I never tried the game and do not think I will do it. But if it helps to attract more people to Maddenboard and even helps you in other ways like motivation and regular revenue you should do it.
My heart belongs to our league, but if it helps you, you should go for it…

A good point was touched on earlier. I know a lot of people from my Front Office Football leagues who are on GoalLineBlitz and they have lost interest. Very few stayed with it after a few weeks.
That would be my one concern. Can you create something that will keep people interested.
What I see happening with GoalLineBlitz is much the same as what happens with Fantasy Football Leagues. As the season goes on people are just losing interest.

And that is where the brilliant football minds here come together and help build something even better.
I must say though I looked at thier alexa stats and they just keep going up.

Hmm. I like the idea. I think it would be a fun thing to do and partake in, but I imagine it would take quite a bit of work.
I think there needs to be some meaning to it though. I mean, there isn't really a huge incentive to Goal line. If there could be a reward system for doing well in this and have it be tried to MB in some shape or form, I think that'd be great.

Is the Goal Line Blitz the same kind of game as the Sim League?
