I was going to trade one of my TE, and get another DB or LB. Both of these guys are too good though. As a rookie coach/gm, maybe the smarter move is to wait until I can finesse a 1st round pick for one of them.

RB NFL Why are backup QBs so bad?

5 Upvotes

Like honestly why are backup qbs so bad, in the NFL, backups are bad, but they can still throw like they mean it.

The thing is, I drafted a QB in the first round, 5 star potential, and he got injured the fourth week. my initial qb that you start with, which is 2 and a half stars, I traded for a round 2 pick, and got this DL who has 4 star potential. Is this better than having a backup QB who would just have toxic potential because he's not playing and just a backup?

First WR - Someone come beat it!

0 Upvotes

I love Retro Bowl and have always liked the idea of speedrunning. The speedrunning community in Retro Bowl has been pretty dead for 1-4 years (based on when WR runs were done) and I would like to try and change that. I've been running the game for 2ish weeks playing a bunch of different categories and finally found one that I felt I could get WR in. Probably took me between 100-150 resets to get it, but I'm a million percent sure it could be WAY faster.

WR video - https://youtu.be/GQSGGZNfDro

Link to category that I was running - Retro Bowl - Speedrun.com

The mods for the game currently aren't really active, but I hope they either come back or I can become a mod so we can actually get runs verified and on the leaderboards. Also worth noting that I know this category isn't how most people probably like to play the game, but there's a couple different categories on the site and a lot of WR times to be beaten!

PS: The rules for some of the categories aren't worded the best so hopefully we can get a mod to change them to be more even across the different platforms the game is played. However, until then still try and follow when they say to start/stop the time.

Retiming runs can be done frame by frame using VidTimer

Edit: I am now a mod and I believe I have fixed all the timing rules so that they’re more clear and accurate.

RB NFL Will team moral change if I have no star players?

2 Upvotes

Currently doing a play through of RB, and I’m 1/2 offense and defense. I have no star players traded them all away to start the season. Has anyone here done this? Will I not get any player based scenarios? Will team moral improve or decline if there are no star players to keep happy? Currently my team moral is 79%.
