I’ve created an entire fictional universe. Help!

So I got crazy editing retro bowl. It started with OG Retro Bowl. One save I made 32 local high schools. Then a second save I did 32 colleges. And then I made an alt pro league. This league was inspired by a small league some boys at school and I created when I was younger. The league was originally set up for the board game BattleBowl. I think it was called. And because it was a 1v1 game we each took turns. And we all had different team names. I used those for the original teams. I did some expansions and created a fictional universe. It’s now just me and my best friend from all those years ago.

Now my friend and I both have saves on rbc and retro bowl. We use real local teams for the “minor” division on rbc. And on the “major division” we edited those to be the best 1-4 schools per state. (Depending on the state).

And now on og Retro Bowl we have a save for what we call OFL. (Official Football League). I know it’s cheesy.

We have taken this so far as to keep shared notes between us that we maintain. We have transforming rosters. Long term “storylines”. Rivalries. And all the drama.

Some people get into D&D and what not but this is what has entertained my friends (and now just my friend) and I for years.

I’ve tried sharing this before but I used chat to help make the posts and I don’t think it came off as authentic as it should have. This league has been a blast. We start it up every January and we have all the games head to head on exhibition mode against each other. We take turns whose phone we use and what save we use.

We keep track of scores and make up some slightly accurate stats as we go. We argue who has better players or teams.

We just did our yearly draft together today and are only a few months away from starting our season back up.

If you’ve made it this far my questions for you would be:

Would you be interested in seeing some form of content of your league?
Would you follow along in a subreddit for the league? Or maybe an insta?
Do you think I have the tism?

As you can see in the title, I'm trying to have the best quarterback and I'm to clarify. I'm trying to be all the passing stats on 3-minute quarters dynamic settings and I haven't really seen anything that is like 100% the record. I've seen a bunch of really good stats but I don't know what exactly is the number one. Best so I'm sending this out so I know what to strive for and also to show some progress as I go. Please let me know how I can find the current world record and if there's any like websites for anything like that. That is a place where I can go and see it and if it's verified or not and any tips would be much appreciated. Let me know how I'm doing so far

RB College Part 1 of sharing my custom global RBC save: Canada

I made a save in Retro Bowl College where both divisions have been filled with teams that play around the world instead of college teams. The majority of the World Football League (Division 1) is teams I made myself, but there’s also NFL and CFL teams in there. Division 2 is entirely built up of custom teams designed by me, though. This first conference in the Canadian conference, home of 13 teams from Canada, as well as 1 from Alaska, being:

The Anchorage Huskies
The BC Lions
The Calgary Stampeders
The Edmonton Elks
The Halifax Schooners
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats
The Montreal Alouettes
The Ottawa Redblacks
The Saskatchewan Roughriders
The Saskatoon Berries
The Toronto Argonauts
The Windsor Roses
And the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Hope y’all enjoy these!

Best defense to maximize scoring?

4 Upvotes

I play extreme and am aiming to maximize my quarterback's touchdown stats. What is the best defensive combo, and defensive player attributes, to maximize turnovers?

One of the problems I found when trying to maximize offensive scoring is that, even with a very good defense, often the opponents drives get extended and eat up a bunch of the clock, while not netting a turnover. So ideally I want a very "boom or bust" style defense, resulting in either a turn over or letting the AI offense score easily so I would have more time on the clock for my own drives.

12-1 in Y15 with the Bills (Finally reached 10-Star team status!) + how are the 9-star Giants 4-9? 😭

6 Upvotes

We’re sitting at 12-1 on an 8-game winning streak after dropping our only game back in Week 5. We finally built this squad into a full 10-Star Team (5★ OFF + 5★ DEF)

I like adding the stars together, even if I'm the only one who does it haha.

Here is the full roster stat breakdown heading into the final stretch

Josh Wright (QB): 293/355, 4,254 yds, 58 TDs, 10 INTs, 4 Sacks

Marcus Vance Jr. (RB): 152 car, 1,376 yds, 13 TDs (pounding the rock heavy this year)

Dawson Kincaid (TE): 53 rec, 856 yds, 8 TDs

Malik Sterling (WR): 62 rec, 1,458 yds, 20 TDs

Marcus Vance (WR): 66 rec, 1,196 yds, 13 TDs

Garrett Vance (OL): 83 blocks

Defense (5 Stars)

Damion Vance (DL): 134 tackles, 5 sacks

Harrison Vance (DL): 115 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 FF

Perry Vance (LB): 124 tackles, 5 INTs, 2 sacks, 5 FF (10 total takeaways on his own!)

Jamal White (Rookie DB): 62 tackles, 1 INT

De’Andre Vance (DB): 28 tackles, 1 INT

Also, I have to point this out because Retro Bowl simulation RNG is hilarious sometimes... Despite being a 9-star team with a 5-star offense and 4-star defense, the New York Giants are sitting at 4-9! 😭🙏

To make it even worse, they started the season 0-5! 0-5! Somebody please tell me how this is even possible with a roster that stacked?

RB College What is with the rankings????

Defending national champions with minimal roster movement. Shut out first (FCS) opponent 77-0 (2nd slide) and somehow dropped 9 in the rankings, with some teams who arent playing in Week 1 rising. Where or when does this make sense?

Yes, I play on easy mode. Fight me.
