Dupliates get benched (Duplicates, not dupliates. Arrrggghhh!) As a non-football player/fan, I was confused for awhile why I recruited players but wound up getting two very talented players, but one was benched. Why? Well, it turned out that they had the same position (that little indicator in top left of the card). I tried clicking that so I could change their position, and I tried looking for an option under 'edit', but there's nothing. SO ... I sold the benchwarmer, which was really frustrating, since they were stronger than most of my wimpy players. If I'm really to be a 'team coach', I'd like to be able to slot teammembers in whatever role I'd like (even though I can understand that not every player would be suited to be Quarterback or Kicker). Another quirk of the game -- I have been swapping out my old players, renaming the new (improved ie multi-skilled) players the same name/number of the old player -- so I barely notice the changes. It'd be nice to KEEP the old players, ie off the bench but somewhere else -- and you might block players from copying their names...? (But I like my names!! So don't follow this suggestion! HA HA) At this point, I have a few players with more than 1 skill. I have 'rapid picked' a lot to figure out where they are when playing, and I try to use them to execute their special moves. Challenging. Would be nice to have a setting to 'control the best player' or 'control this player by default'. Lastly, not sure if players think this is a good way to go, but it seems to me that buying players might be more effective than packs, b/c a good Quaterback and a good Receiver (not sure what position that is) would beef a team up a lot more than a Tight End. Any players that actually know football have a thought on this?
I don't know if this has been posted, but I noticed an issue when kicking. If I punt the ball into the other team's end zone for a touchback, the ball isn't placed on the 20 yard line. It seems to be placed from where I kicked it. I don't punt very often, but I'll see if it happens again.
Thanks for playing. We designed Football Heroes to be fun for people who do not like Football. That was our goal, glad you are having fun. The coin doubler is associated with the team. So if you want to play as a different team, you will need a different GameCenter account. If you want to Double that teams coins, right now unfortunately you would have to buy another coin doubler. Eventually this will be fixed when we introduce the concept of multiple teams per account for now we apologize for the inconvenience. You have found a way to 'cheat'? Please Private message me how you are cheating
Oh nos! I thought we fixed all those bugs :| Obviously not! The first bug sounds like a turnover bug, cause a fumble, recover, strange handling of next down right? Second bug, was there a turnover involved here? This does not sound like any bug I have seen before.
I cannot reproduce this bug Can your provide some extra detail on how to reproduce. For example: does it seem to be the same player on the field, is on a certain play, how often do you see this? This one sounds bad, as you want passing to be as responsive as possible.
Crash and burned Played this game all weekend. Loved it. I did have suggestions, but they all seem to be addressed in other threads. Now onto my problem. I was playing last night and decided to finally restart my Game Center, mostly because I like this game so much and want to continue on my phone (been logged out since updating to ios7). After I did, the game restarted at the tutorial. I was really upset, because I was pretty deep into the game with a lot of coins spent (bought the doubler). My disappointment with restarting my career was short lived, because about 2 minutes into the tutorial, the game crashed. Since then, I can't get past the loading screens when the app starts. I tried logging out of Game Center, logging back in, turning the iPad on and off. Pretty much everything I can think of, but nothing works. App crashes. Please help.
Oh nos! Please send me a private message with your GameCenter account name and an email address where we can reach you. Sorry about this, but we will get this fixed!
I recommend naming players to help indenting them on the field. When tap on a player you will see their name under their feet. Using Skin color is another good way to distinguish between players. Buying Free Agents is the best way to go as you get to see exactly what you will get. With the card packs it is random what player cards you will get.
I think it maybe user error. Usually happens after i play awhile. Could be the phone getting hot or my hands touching someing else. Never had the problem on my ipad.
It does balance the game quite a bit. However, if you've got a good receiver for the punt returns (the uppercut ability is recommended) it is still very possible to battle your way to a TD. I've played about halfway through the game and have gotten around 5 TD receptions that way. It's not impossible, but it is definitely worth the challenge. Plus, I use the other guys as much as possible to take out the other teams players before I catch the punt return and make my drive.
Yup i'm always connected. My ipad never leaves the house and my broadband is never off. Any eta on the update/patch? One of my biggest gripe about this game is players in the same position have identical stats. I'd rather they have a base set of attributes, then get random bonuses to your attributes (e.g. +1d6, that's a roll of a six sided die) after each level. Similarly with skills. If you have ever played Blood Bowl, there is a skill table for every position. Each time you level, you roll dices and look up the value on the table for what skill you acquired. If you roll a snakeyes, you get a second skill. If you roll two sixes, you use a a table meant for another position instead. This meant that a Receiver can sometimes have the skill of a Linesman although this is rare. Thus, no two players occupying the same position would have similar skill sets. You might get really good rolls with your attributes when you level up, but you might get a skill that isn't particularly good. This adds diversity to the game. It also means you keep buying rookie players just to train them up in the hopes of getting the 'perfect' player. It's kind of boring having U. Mullins (the player that freezes) on your team and play against another team with U. Mullins (hypothesised to happen in future multiplayer).
- Are you still missing your Free Agents? - We will be pushing a bug fix patch soon, hopefully before the end of the week, but this will take time for Apple to approve, so it is very unlikely that it will make it out this week. - Skill and Random Stats - we had it like this at one point, but it became very difficult for me to keep everything balanced when player's skill ranges to swing so much. I plan on revisiting this idea someday soon as this adds a dynamic to the player progression, which I agree is lacking right now. - Its not boring to have Ice Man vs Ice Man as it is a competition to see who uses him best
It gets harder to return the ball on Kicks the later you get into the game, earlier cups its pretty easy to battle to a TD! Taking out the other team, while the ball is in the air is a key strategy for Kick Returns! Good find, most people miss this one
Still no gold coin agents. The .99 cent agent is available. It's Mr. Spiral but his name changes every now and then. I have tried restarting my wifi but i still have the same problem.
Does the timer in the bottom right corner of the Free Agents Shop screen read 0:00 or has the timer stopped decrementing? And have you purchased all the Free Agents available in the store?
Another tip I find very useful, especially against teams with a more aggressive pass/rush offense is having a center who has the windmill punching ability and a couple of OL guys with uppercut and diving tackle abilities. I usually save them towards the second half to put pressure on the opposing team to gain more sacks (sometimes resulting in turnovers, more often punts) and while it uses up that ability for some time, it's worth getting a satisfying sack as well as giving your team good field position on the next drive.
Ok i have a argument for have ai to use skils now. I just a play that the def i played against had atleast 3 guys use their skill against me almost at the same time. Pretty much when you have to pass.... You dead. Im playing kickstarter 2 cup and lost only becuase the skills issues. Maybe when you call the play u can have a button where it can say "ai use skills?" Also is there a timing issue about when you use your skill and the other use theirs? Like if i use the forward puch before some ine power dives at me... Seems they can always tackle me. Is it a rock scissors paper thing or just bad timing? Cause when i try it it doesnt work.
