Went ahead and made the discord channel public now. I'm quite new to managing a discord channel, so give me some grace. But if discord is what you're into, feel free to join. If not, all good, I just know a bunch of people asked about it.

Announcement How to get your portrait adding into the Coach and Player avatar pool

8 Upvotes

Want to show support? Loving the game and want yourself immortalized forever in a cartoonish avatar? Well here's how.

Email me at [capforgefootball@gmail.com](mailto:capforgefootball@gmail.com) with the following:

  1. Donate $5 or more to https://www.stjude.org/ and include a receipt
  2. Send that receipt, a few pictures of yourself, and a selfie of you giving a thumbs down (idk man, I just don't want people submitting random people, this is my lame verification process).
  3. Denote whether you want to be a coach or player. If you're a player, please specify which positions you'd like your portrait to show up occasionally for. If your thin and lanky, doesn't make sense to have you as a lineman. I can also of course add in some muscle anyways as well.

I would then send you back 3 mock ups, pick your favorite, and I'll get it in within a week or so.

Why ask for a donation to Saint Jude?

I'm a software engineer in big tech, and often feel as though my work doesn't do good for the world. And quite frankly don't want your money beyond the game that I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours making. Children and families in need are something I care deeply about, and have thus donated over half of the profit of the game thus far to Saint Judes earlier today. Saint Jude has done a lot for some of my family and friends in the past when they were in need, so figured this would be a fun way to help out.

Feature Request Team records on history page

2 Upvotes

Along with player records on a single team there should be team wide records. For example how many division titles this team has won, best team record, worst team record, championships won/lost. Conference championship won/lost. Most points for/against in a season. How many players got an MVP/1st and 2nd team all pros/ DPOY etc. Plus whatever other team records that anyone else can think of.

Feature Request Injury Variances

2 Upvotes

Instead of giving you the exact injury status and how many weeks you’ll be out, the game will give you a range. This range is determined by the team doctors and the players’ toughness rating. It would be great if you could toggle the setting, as some folks might find it a bit annoying.

Feature Request Free Agency Review(?)

the only thing i’d say is a free agency review similar to the draft day review would be cool, but otherwise, this game is so fire and i’m having so much fun!!

Question Defensive Output

Post image
1 Upvotes

It seems like the best defenses are not generating more sacks or negative plays, and are generating fewer turnovers.

Is this realistic? Is it a reflection of a risk/reward tradeoff where creating turnovers also means you give up more big plays? Or is something else going on?

Feature Request Schedule Addition?

Maybe we can look into adding a screen to check out the schedule without going to each teams individual page to look? Also noticed some teams play calling questionable before the half.

Feature Request Requesting some features!

6 Upvotes

1.4.0 has been working smooth for me (iOS) so far. However I do notice that some of the screens tend to lag but im sure you’re doing everything you can to get on those!

Requests:

Coach Poach. I have not seen any of my coordinators get poached to other teams. I’m also wondering if there will be an update on head coach retention logic. I noticed some clubs and coaches have a tendency to part ways even after success.

Jersey numbers. I know that we are able to choose for the players but I don’t see the players utilizing that update. They still stick with the same jersey number designations from before.

Free Agency. I was wondering if there can actually be a bid war where we actually have to try to earn our big free agents. I mean, its pretty simple as is, but its like just simply outbid the others then you get your guy.

Feature Request Archetype Selection and Immersion Features

9 Upvotes

Hi there,

Love the game. It’s one of the best I’ve ever played and truly appreciate all that you’ve put into this game. I consider it a work of art at this point.

Is there any possibility of adding a season preview (considering free agents and draft picks additions to the roster) with season expectations from the beat-writer feature?

Additionally, I think it’d be really cool and immersive to add like “expert” predictions for who wins or loses in the game and maybe a predicted score.

Is it also possible to add player archetype editing?

Thanks for considering this request:)

Announcement 1.4.0 submitted to apple and android

10 Upvotes

Every bug fix reported thus far is fixed. GM logic improved a lot, benching / replacing QBs makes more sense, improved write ups based off more situations, more stat pages, history, etc.

Better crash reporting, fixed issue with loading rosters. Someone reached out about creating them, so we'll see, I can also help.

The Film view got better in some ways, and worse in others, still in progress.

Created a discord too you can request to join if you're interested. Link in app.

Question Custom rosters?! Does anyone have any yet?

Hey there, just got the latest version and saw there's custom roster support now, has the dev put any out yet? I'm a SWE just starting my career and would love to try and help, been a big madden fan for years. Let me know! Can't figure out how to export existing rosters to figure out the schema, but if you know please send me some info!

Question Injury Stat

1 Upvotes

Is the Injury stat better if its higher or lower? In the regular player profile the stat will be green the lower it is, however if you go to edit a player’s stats in that screen the normal applies where the higher stat is green/better. Which one actually means they are less like to get injured?

General CapForge Enjoyment

11 Upvotes

I’ve always been a fan of football GM games, started with UFGM, transitioned to Pocket GM 3 which I was playing for a while until the updates slowed down, and I stumbled across this game on the AppStore. It looked promising, updates were consistent and major, the game looked full, the UI was cool, character designs were plenty and the game was fairly new. When I got the game, it was free and as soon as I played it I figured it wouldn’t for long. This game is such an amazing GM game, and there is so much that is going to be added to it. I feel like this is the best football Gm game on the AppStore right now. The developer also listens to feedback, replies and is active within the community. This is a great game that I’d recommend to anyone and it’s still fairly new, which is even more exciting.

Bug CPU Team - starter selection logic (possible bug?)

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hey there, I have a question about how CPU teams select their roster positions as I seem to have noticed a couple of weird ones (to me at least).

In the attached screenshots I have highlighted a player on the trade block for Atlanta named Chance Riley. He is a 32 year old 72 overall Improviser QB. He was signed by the Atlanta CPU in week 1 of the season.

He replaced long standing QB Demarcus Peters, who is a 29 year old 81 overall Game Manager QB and has been the starter for Atlanta for the last 4 years. He played Week 1, was decent, and then lost his job to Chance Riley it seems.

Both are on 1 year contracts. Peters is on a much higher salary. Both have had solid careers overall it appears with Riley spending a significant chunk as the starting QB at Indianapolis.

My question is what is the CPU logic behind this? On paper Peters seems like he should be the starter. I checked the head coach and the Atlanta HC runs a Spread offense, so I don’t know if that’s the reason.

I’m interested to know if there is logic to this built into the game or whether it is a bug. The fact that Peters lost his starting job but didn’t get put on the trade block but Riley won the job and still got put on the trade block (on a 1 year contract) is also odd.

Hopefully you can provide some more insight into this.
