Got three matches in last night against Ronne, Derpin, and Sean. I like that a lot of us are going into this new, so mistakes are meant to be made and discovering the absolute joy of the Dice Gods being in your favor... and also being in their shithouse. Like in my game against Ronne, I dropped a pass near the endzone which would have tied the game. He managed to get a player in position to pick it up, then tried to pass it away. The player who dropped the pass then proceeded to intercept it, and I walked it in for the easy score to end the half. The match against Duppin was a mixed bag for both of us, though I did manage to kill one of his players (sorry dude). My match against Sean was a bag of shit. Could not move the ball, was constantly picking up half my players from the pitch each round, and he injured not one, not two, but three of my players. One of whom won't be around for the next match as a result. I had apothecaries too but the results of those were absolute shit as well. One went from being badly injured with no permanent damage to dead. Good thing I got to choose which one to use! One round ended because I got a 2d Attacker down roll, without a RR available because I had used it earlier after getting another bad roll that would have screwed me over. Yay.
Looking forward to getting more matches in.
Also, what's the plan for Ranked matches?

The game is very close to tabletop. There's a few bugs (like break tackle doesn't work as intended) and not all the star players are in (which is complete crap, imo, there's no reason for them not to be), but all in all, it's a pretty decent representation of the tabletop game, with no chance of you forgetting to count for an assist when rolling the dice.
I don't think there is a plan currently for the open league. It lets you choose ranked or unranked...imo, just choose ranked. It will display your full stats (like I should be 1-0-0 with my DaE team, but because it was unranked, it doesn't show up). Really no reason to choose unranked here, this is a learning process for most of you anyway, who cares if you're 0-13. Hell, it's a learning process for me too, because despite 600+ hours in this game, I've only played about a half a dozen games against other people, and lemme tell you, the AI in no way prepares you for facing someone else who actually thinks.
By the way, if anyone is still having trouble with the game, might I suggest you read this --http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...55534169,d.aWM
Goddamn our links here are ugly.

Reinstalled yesterday after reading this thread but the game still feels very incomplete for some reason. I never played the tabletop version beyond what came out of the box but, from that experience, I never had the desire to "Hulk Smash!" like I've had with the PC version. I feel like I'm losing over half of my rerolls to the reroll window just closing and instantly popping back up with the exact same die results. Hit reroll button, window flashes with no roll animation at all. "Nope, those are your fucking dice, deal with it." I could just be incredibly unlucky but I've never wanted to burn a game to a physical medium just to have something to destroy before. Pregame UI feels very clunky as well, like beyond amateurish clunky. Two ways to view stat leaders but I have to go two layers deep to hire a player or level up. Going to keep hacking away with my Skaven team on single player to get the feel again.

Are they rerolls on your rat ogre? You're failing the loner roll, that's what causes exactly what you describe.

Heh, as said -- story mode sucks, but on top of that, you're supposed to get the ball back from them. Defensive score.
I'll get your team in now, Oblio.

Doesn't seem like it's too necessary. I saw Gavin's post at work last night saying he cleared the queue of apps, and then I got home at 0530 this morning and there weren't any in there, so it doesn't seem like there's a huge backlog. Just don't delete your old team before you submit a new one
I actually work overnights and take care of my daughter all day, so I'm online (just not playing) most of the day. Constantly checking boards and the league, so it's not a big deal. I sleep evenings and clear the queue before I head to work, and then I'm home first thing in the morning.
And I'm trying to find some information on how to run a tournament league. I know there's a lot of admin stuff related to that (match validation and unplayed matches whatnot), so I don't know what that entails. I may actually make a small trial (thinking like 4 man tourney) just to see how to do it, so that there are no snafus when it comes time to do the real thing.

I'm with you on that, but never used it before. Trying to get something set up, but either there's nothing going on, or I've got it set up wrong

Possibly, I'll have to pay closer attention to when it's happening next time but that makes sense. Also have some lvl1 lineman that turned loner from a concussion so the frequency of it happening would make sense if it's those two guys who are just constantly trying to hit people up front. Thanks.
