I recently found a new (free) online game that people might like. It's an American football simulation game whereby you create a player (much in the way of Madden Superstar mode, only not as good). You don't get to physically control your character, but his attributes are entirely yours to dictate.
Much in the way of
TAO, you can pay to get "Flex Points", which are the currency used in the game. Each new character costs 200 FP, and each level up (claled Boosting) costs 2-300 FP, depending on your position. You start with enough FP to create a character and make him semi-decent.
You will then get offers from teams looking for players at your position. You don't have to take those offers, but if you don't take any, you'll have no money. No money means no training regime, and that means no improvement.
Every few months, there will be new CPU teams to buy. Teams cost 1,000 FP to buy, and once they're sold, there are no more until the next season.
There are forums which you can use to advertise yourself. You use your profile link to get recruited. The higher the level, the more skill points you get. The more SP, the better you are. So level up and get Items to boost the attributes of stats that are weak. Each position requires different levels of ability at each attribute. For example, you may not want your centre to have a pass rating of 50, but a tackle rating of only 10
It sounds complicated, but it's all pretty simple. Ask questions on the forum if you're stuck. New season starts in a few days, after which there can be no more recruiting until the following season! So sign up now, or you won't get a chance!
Oh, and jsut a thought - when new CPU teams are available, it might be nice for you to make an
LF based team and see how that works out. Or not. Whichever
WARNING! If you decide to play, don't instinctively create a QB or WR...think how many of those there are. If you want your character to get pitch time (which improves them more than training does), make someone at a position that isn't overpopulated. It gives you the total players for each position for a reason!
Here's the link:
Goal Line Blitz - Beta - American Football MMORPG
If you sign up via that link, I get FP. If you sign people up using your link, you get FP too. It's the only way to get FP other than buying it.
So yeah, thought some of you might like this

Enjoy. Any questions, please ask!
