So it's been nearly a month since the conclusion of the first season of Outlaw Sports: Grifball.
A few changes will be coming in Season 2 and I'll be laying them out in full detail below.
A few changes will be coming in Season 2 and I'll be laying them out in full detail below.
- Matches will no longer consist of two games with the first to five scoring. Instead, each game will be placed on a twenty minute time limit with a winning score of ten. There will only be one round per game. Teams will not rotate.
- Players will be randomly assigned to a team by the leader of the event as opposed to the "Team Captain" system from Season One.
- Signing up for a game ahead of time via the forums will now be obsolete. Players will be invited via the OutlawGrifball gamertag on Xbox Live. This is due to multiple users reserving a space and not showing up. If needed, this element will be reintroduced later in the season.
- Due to low player population near the end of last season, User created teams will not be introduced in Season 2. Also, if a game ever has four or less members attend, the players will instead take to Matchmaking to represent the league to the world.
- The stats system from last season was very long, redundant and provided very little excitement to players. In Season 2 stats will return, however, rather than detailing every single statistic from the game players will be awarded titles such as; "MVP", "Defensive Player of the Game", "Supporting Player of the Game" and "Offensive Player of the Game". A brief summary of what happened in the game will be detailed with each stat post.
- Players who participate in a game in Season 2 and leave their avatar motionless (sitting the controller down and leaving) for extended periods of time will be booted from the game and unable to participate in the following game. This also goes for users who complain, argue, trash talk or cause unneeded drama. This is a game people, not a career.
- In the case of my absence, a reliable, veteran player of the league may host the game and record stats. Based on last seasons attendance the only two able to perform fill-in at this time are xFireviperx and FrequentShark. Office, Armada and Pancake may also be available for this in the near future, should they choose to take part in Season 2.
- Game times are moved from Fridays at 9 PM EST to Wednesdays at 8 PM EST. This is subject to change to correlate with Outlaw Races, Player feedback and so on.
