Social Introducing NZW Ultimate Team

Hey @tajhay I’d normally be all over this, & definitely will join in at a later date, however I fear I don’t have time the next couple of weeks to get involved - pointy end of SuperCoach pre-season & work is crazy next fortnight. So I’m a reluctant non-participant for now.

This sounds amazing @tajhay - really impressive. I would dearly like to say I would commit to it but I know how that will work out: 3 or 4 weeks of intense obsessiveness and then slowly, guiltily backing away from any gameplay - so, yeah, good luck to all real playas!
Haha thanks. Yeah it will be a very immersive experience. After the initial squad auctions, it would not take more than 20-30 mins a week to be honest.

1) Responding to judiciary charges for the week - 1 min
2) Setting up team/strategies or changing team from prior week - 2 min
3) Responding to judiciary charges - 1 min
4) Setting training methods for the week ahead - 1 min
5) Holding Press Conference - 2 mins

Then there are trades if you want to do etc or suggest trades to other users.

But yeah its not for people who back away after the initial excitement. It is fairly immersive experience and every part is automated and plays a part. Its one of those the more you put in the more you will like it. Hence the number of franchises per season is not likely to change (also Warriors have 358 players to choose from including junior levels ie Harold Mats etc). Also innaugral coaches have first dibs on whether they want to return for future seasons before any franchises for future seasons become available.

Essentially every team will have those Harold Mats players in their squad in order to make up numbers. A key premise of this game is for Warriors fans to get to know more about players who have represented the club in the past, current and will in the future. Even if it just means that users get familiar with those names it would have done its job. And the game engine is pretty sweet if i say so myself lol
 
Update - a host of legendary players have put up their hand up to participate in the upcoming season of Ultimate Team under a new agreement reached between ESL, NRL and NZW Ultimate Team leagues. Under the licensing agreement, some former greats will lace up their boots for one final time in guest stints (i.e. 4 weeks etc) and will become available in the auction during the season. Ellery Hanley, Martin Offiah and Bradley Clyde are rumoured to be some of the players who have signed on, but have not publically acknowlged the deal. Zac Lomax is awaiting confirmation of the league starting before confirming and requesting a release from his NRL duties to participate in the new comp as a guest player.

Clyde aye…
 
Yeah ok, franchise request incoming
My next carrot was to let you know that this game allows any increment bids in auction, the winner is the highest bidder, even for players like Farnworth.

@Defence did you know that this game allows you to name any player as the goal kicker? Their kicking attributes will be taken into account ;)

@wizard of Tauranga this game would be right up your alley.

@Cces i could use your feedback on this one especially during the gameplay.
 
Just a note to all approved franchises - you may have just received a shitload of notifications. Ignore them as i am simulating a season.

Which well known high profile NZ Warriors star has been seen meeting Hammerheads CEO Richard Fale in a Honolulu Cafe yesterday? Rumors are that a signing will be announced in the coming weeks with more to follow. Watch this space.
 
Update - all approved franchises have been sent trades to review to see how the player trading system works. All approved franchises can see menu under "my franchise" navigation, ie gameplan, press, training etc to see what the interactions look like and the impact.

This week is rebalancing few things including match engine, player ratings/attributes before we start the season.

If you are thinking of joining the comp, visit https://nzwarriors.com/ultimate-team/ and apply for a team. Theres still a few spots left.

I will take you through the competition, screens and processes once everything is solid.

I’m interested - this is my sort of thing!

Except I will be away for a month overseas mid season and will offline. How could this work? Is it possible if I’m MIA for a chunk of the season?

It is certainly your sort of thing.

When will you be away? I could automate it for you during thst period or schedule some rep fixtures during that time.
