What is GLB?
Goal Line Blitz is a web-based American Football MMORPG. It has a custom football simulation engine to provide you with the ultimate football experience.
Love fantasy football? Wish you could play with the pros? Join football fans world-wide in building the player and team of your dreams, right here, at Goal Line Blitz.
Attributes
Attributes are what define your player's strengths and weaknesses. The higher an attribute the better he will do in that respective area. You can raise your attributes by training and spending skill points after leveling up.
Player Creation
The fun begins with the player creation process. First choose a name (curse words and racially offensive names will not be tolerated), then pick the position of your player. Once that is finished, a page with height, weight, and attributes will be displayed. Distribute your initial 15 skill points and your player will be created!
Something to consider when creating a character is the demand for that position. The higher the demand the more likely that you will get decent playing time.
Signing to a D-League Team
Once you've completed the Player Creation process, click the 'Contract Offers' link on your player's profile page so you can see which teams have offered you a contract. You will have 3 offers from D-League teams.
Before you accept a contract, a good practice to get into is checking to see the number of players in your position on the team.
Goal Line Blitz Forums
The forums are an important part of Goal Line Blitz. Read about game updates in the 'Announcements' forum, get help in the 'FAQ's, Player Guides and Newbie Help' forum, and discuss GLB in the 'Goal Line Blitz' forum. At the bottom of the forum index is where you will find your Team forums, which are very important for getting team tactics and communicating with your teammates. Please read the forum rules before posting.
Flex Points
Flex Points are the basic currency of Goal Line Blitz. You can use Flex Points to create players, level up (boost) a player, buy a team, make custom equipment, and more!
Equipment
Regular Equipment
Equipment is important to your player's success. Each equipment upgrade gives your player an additional attribute point. Don't forget to equip it after your purchase. At level 1 you can buy four pieces of equipment. Every level that is a multiple of 8 you may purchase upgrades for those pieces.
Custom Equipment
Custom equipment acts like regular equipment with a few key differences. You must pay Flex Points instead of in-game money to acquire Custom Equipment. Custom Equipment only has one upgrade, at level 8. It costs 100 FP for +1 to any attribute and 300 FP for +1 to the Special Ability tree of your choice (available at level 8). You can have up to 6 attribute points on your Custom Equipment, and you don't have to buy it all at the same time.
Advanced Equipment
Advanced Equipment is a new addition in season 5. It uses the same equipment slots as regular equipment, so you have to make a decision about which will be better for you.
What now?
You have made a player and joined a team. Now you wait for a game, which is played every other day. Between games you can manage your training and tactics.
You control how much time you spend playing GLB. It could be a few minutes a day to do training, or you could spend hours watching games and reading forums.
If you still have questions read the official FAQ and guides. Also ask the community in the FAQ's, Player Guides and Newbie Help forum.
Have fun and good luck!
