Goal Line Blitz

Before I begin, let me take a moment for a self indulgent plug. If you click this link and go sign up, I get free points. Go, do it now! Fred signed up for me and all he did was log in a couple time in the following two or 3 days and that’s all that I needed to get the points. Easy right? So why haven’t you done it yet? 🙂

Alright, now that that’s over, I wanted to take a moment to talk about my latest football addiction, Goal Line Blitz. It’s an american fooball mmorpg. The idea is that you sign up (it’s free!) and you get 400 Flex Points. With these flex points, you can create players. QB, RB, and WR cost 300 points each, TE, FB, and Defensive players cost 200 points each, and Offensive linemen, K, and P cost 100 points each.

After using these points, you allocate skill points to create the player in the way you see fit. At the end of the creation process, you get offered a couple contracts by cpu controlled teams so that you can get into the action right off the bat. That’s a great idea, but the problem is, they got too big too fast, and all the teams have been purchased by human players, so until they expand (which they are working on as we speak) you have to keep posting on the forums in order to get a team to give you a shot, which can be kinda boring and drawn out.

More after the jump

The guys who put this game together are going to be raking in the money. I know, you’re thinking to yourself, “wait, he just told me it was free!”, and it’s true, it IS free. But they give you the option of purchasing more Flex Points, enabling you to create more players, buy teams, and all that fun stuff. And that is the genius part of Goal Line Blitz. The guys behind it have put enough forethought into it to include all the stuff that will lure in the massive horde of fantasy footballers out there, and they are hitting the market right in the time of year that all those guys are looking for something to do.

I’ve purchased a couple extra flex points, and am saving some in order to purchase a team as soon as more are made available. I will let you know what the ownership process is like, and I’ll be sure to save a spot on my roster for you if you help me out and get me some free points! Again, use this link to go sign up and join me in the fun!
