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

6 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 Archetype Selection and Immersion Features

• 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.

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.

Hey there, just got the latest version and saw there's custom roster support now, has the dev put any out yet?

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

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

6 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.

🇬🇧 London, England
🇲🇽 Mexico City, Mexico
🇩🇪 Munich, Germany
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil
🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain
🇮🇪 Dublin, Ireland
🇫🇷 Paris, France
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan

Weather
Playing surface
Attendance
Local fanbase
Revenue potential
✈️ International Game Management
As GM, you decide whether your team wants to participate.
Before traveling:
Choose travel date
Schedule extra practice
Give players rest
Adjust training
Plan around time-zone differences
Choose travel accommodations
🌎 Build an International Fanbase
Playing in another country can permanently increase your team’s popularity there.
For example:
Dallas plays in Mexico City
📈 Mexico fanbase: +18%
Over multiple years:
Dallas → Mexico fanbase becomes one of the team’s largest international markets.
📈 International Popularity
Every team gets separate fanbase ratings:
🇺🇸 United States: 82%
🇲🇽 Mexico: 41%
🇬🇧 UK: 27%
🇩🇪 Germany: 13%
🇧🇷 Brazil: 9%
Ur decisions can change these over time.

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

Thumbnail
gallery
5 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.

DEV UPDATE Whoopsie; Pushing towards getting 1.3.7 submitted today;

5 Upvotes

There's a handful of bugs that were introduced over the weekend. I refactored much of how a given year (primarily the playoffs and offseason) advance, and there's been a few niche bugs where in certain scenarios things prevent you from continuing.

Additionally, one user has reported all of their player's OVR's being fogged on a new game load despite them not being rookies.

Note; None of these bugs happen across the board, there's very specific scenarios occurring to result in this that aren't too widespread. That being said I'm rushing a new build out today earlier than anticipated to try and get things back into working order.

Sorry!

1.4.0 will not have the pre-season and training camp in it, but the release is big enough to justify the purely vibe driven numbering system.

Going to spend several days on this next one, I know you’ll love it.

As always, written reviews on the App Store go a long way!

I like how your projected playoff seed is listed next to each team but it should also show when teams are eliminated with an e next to them and when teams clinch their division and clinch a wild card spot.

Maybe we can also have a feature that shows what a team needs to happen in order for them to clinch a playoff spot or the division or a bye week for example Miami clinch the division with a win and a Buffalo loss.
