Forum: VFF General Discussion

Alright, We'll see how long this is a good idea for. But frankly, I'm hoping it keeps you guys up to date and me accountable. Seems fair. ;) I'll answer what questions I can (read: want to), but for the most part this is to prove something's happening, and to make sure I keep it that way.

I know, who woulda thought, eh? :D Let's be brutally honest. The summer was uh, not good for productivity, through a number of issues, some that are more reasonable then others. We are currently rapidly progressing towards a stage where we can test the game play itself while plugging in...

Presuming that realistically, the season will start no sooner then November 1 (based on the early September alpha mentioned in the other thread), and that early 2010 is quite possible, please post below what you consider your current status in the league, and whether you would like to return. ...

Alright, as promised to a couple of you over the last few days, here's where we stand. Owing to a great number of complications, the last few weeks have been anything but productive. We are currently aiming for a streamlined piece of software capable of at least some functionality (read:...

VFF Season XII September 4, 2020 Welcome to the start of the VFF Season XII, we have had a small setback on the start of this season but we are ready to go!! One new rule change is we are simming at 3:00 pm on Sundays from here on in and there are a few reasons for this: The...

Alright... I can't and won't promise you guys anything yet. However, it does play games of its own volition now. They're buggy as hell, they're missing injuries and penalties and stuff like that... but you can gameplan both sides, and it understands how football works. That was the piece I was...

Alright ladies and gents... what stats do you want tracked in the new software? The obvious ones will be there. I'm going to write those out tonight as a reference list, and when I do I'll post them here... beyond that though, what is there that you'd like to see for individual and/or team stats?

Alright, we're actually doing awards this year, perish the thought, I know. You may nominate for your team any time over the next week. Teams that do not have nominees by the end of that point will have them provided by the league. The deadline for your own nominations is Sunday, May 3 at Noon...

Justin Giguere is still listed as a Knight on the website, and he was traded to Hamilton.

Alright, started a thread outside of this league looking for ideas the software can offer as paid extras. As previously stated, free and paid members will be absolutely equivalent in terms of their odds of winning the league. Your input would be appreciated. ...

Alright, ladies and gents... we're going to fire up an old favourite. About two to two and a half years ago I did a series of bi-weekly press conferences to take questions from the masses and turn it into a fun little write up for all concerned while still providing public answers to your...

Alright, I haven't yet got a computer with STF on it, so there's no file yet, but here's the teams. Eastern All Stars Pos|Team|Player QB|Jackson|Kyle Theirry QB|Hamilton|Kelly Michael QB|Atlanta|Frank Black RB|Jackson|Pete Rollins RB|Ottawa|Guy Goucher RB|Hamilton|Darren Longoria

Alright, for leaping all over the idea like R Kelly at a preschool, Nungesser will coach the East, while Justinz007 coaches the West. Further, Nungesser had the excellent idea that we should collectively come up with interesting names for the teams. So, let's do that. Each conference is...

Alright ladies and gentlemen... we're doing an allstar game on March 26. I think we know who the starting QB's are. :D But yes, your nominees for allstars are appreciated and will be used at least partially to announce the teams that will compete in this game on Monday. Further, I need two...

Alright, with hat tips to prairiedog, Chyep, and the many others who contributed ideas in PD's thread, this is a modest proposal for a VFF (and/or new software) economy. It is absolutely not in any way binding, formal, or a sure thing. It is presented MERELY and EXCLUSIVELY for your input. This...

Okay, all y'all, I'm not seeing a lot of people responding to the economic thread. Are we worried about being out-shouted, or having our opinions buried in post after post from the commish and some of our more economically knowledgable members? This is your chance. Freak and prairiedog are not...

Besides the fact that it contains teams that aren't even in the league, I mean. It comes from the schedule generator for the new software. In under a second flat. Sure, it's 11:10 PM and I haven't even eaten supper yet, let alone done anything but this since getting home from work. But it's...

(Thanks to Cam for letting me post this) I know some of you don't travel around BSB much besides for the VFF, so I'd like to let you know that there's another Action PC/Season Ticket Football league out there right now, based on the United States Football League, and having a sort of "What if?"...

This was originally posted in the Blitz Box, but since I know some of you rarely venture that way... I've ranted about my current (soon to be former) workplace on more than one occasion over the years, but ultimately it's still about the kids we treat. Whenever anyone talks about a pediatric...

Here she blows. http://www.blindsideblitz.com/usfl/VFF022609.zip

When these two met in Week 2, Small lit up the Eagles secondary and came 10 yards away from winning a wild one. Will the Western Final end better for them?

Alright. I'm going to try and update you a bit on progress as we go, so that we're all clear on where we stand. The entirety of the project is defined, albeit some parts (notably the game engine) are obviously up for review until they've survived beta. However, this is significant progress in...

The one in Jackson's 15-1 is Hamilton. Can lightning (or at least the Hellcats) strike twice?

There's truth behind this. :D Cam is having computer issues, and will be out of touch for an undetermined length of time. At this point, if you have any questions, or bugged Cam about something in the last few days, and haven't heard back from him, hit me up.

Get it here. I can't upload it to the right spot, and the site seems to not want to take it as an upload. http://www.blindsideblitz.com/usfl/VFF021909.zip

Here in detail is a proposal for a new salary system that may be used for any sim league where real people perform as team owners using a ficticious talent pool. It is based upon the free market as much as possible. As long as real people are used, there can be a free market. The problem we...

Alright. This is your thread as much as mine, to let out whatever comments, questions, worries, rants, tirades, and the like you want about the new software, its features, the process, whatever you want. Fire away. Three things to lay out as facts you can count on, and for this I give you my...

Files due to vffleagueoffice@gmail.com by 5:30 PM CT on your day. People that have been in the league before know that I tend to type up fairly expansive recaps of playoff games, so the earlier your files are in, the more likely they are to be posted on time. :D Wednesday Tucson @ Madison...

Very, very unofficial. I'll check this over more carefully later in the year, but for now because of the sheer number of possible endings, there's no way this is anywhere near official. Scenarios for Week 12 California Eagles - Clinch a playoff berth and a home playoff game with a win. ...

It's been done before, let's do it again. Whether your idea is a loose collection of thought, a specific proposal, or anywhere in between... or whether you're just not comfortable with how something's done... this is your place to let it all out. Rest assured the Posse reads it no matter where...

After Week 11, this might not be such an obvious answer. Who do you think will represent the East in the BadAss Bowl on March 5? Will it be the high flying Stonewall? The Hellcats riding the arm of Kelly Michael? The surprising Corvettes? The plucky (and mouthy) Rebels? Make your case,...

Alright, THIS one is downright crazy. Who wins the West? There's four teams far and away above anyone else... but it looks a lot like splitting hairs between those four. This poll might be easier after Week 12 (MIN @ MAD, CAL @ OKL) but that's why we're doing it now. ;) Your prime...
