BFVG Dream League Of Dreams Week 4

We are proud of what we have achieved so far in the Dream league Of Dreams. FAFF (Federal Association For Football) has founded one of the greatest sports in the world. Literally millions of people from all 4 corners of the globe have watched some of the finest athletes in the world compete at the highest level.
For those who do not know what the DLOD is all about; we are basically a group of friends who have drafted a team on PES14. Each week we then sim the games on which we attempt to commentate although most times we simply resort to insulting each other.

This weeks recap is a special (if not short) one for it will be the last weekly post that we do concerning the DLOD. If you wish to catch up on any of the previous weeks you can do so here; Week 1, Week 2, Week 3. Hopefully once a month we will give a short recap of the previous few weeks action. You can of course keep up to date with the DLOD by watching it live on our Twitch channel. See below for last weeks results.

BFVG Dream League Of Dreams Week 3: The Darkest Hour

As we entered the 3rd week of the DLOD the excitement was palpable. Last week we saw some cracking results some of which came as a huge surprise. So we all sat down ready and in anticipation for what was going to be an amazing week of football. However all was not well within FAFF. There were murmurings from some of the players that they were being forced to work far to hard for little to no money and some of them were threatening to strike.
This all started a week ago when FAFF (Federal Association For Football) announced major changes to the format of the games. Instead of the regular 5 minutes each half, the matches would now consist of two, 10 minute halfs. For some reason there was an assumption amongst the players that their pay would also double in size. When they received their paychecks they were in for a shock as not only were they now being forced to play games for twice as long, they were having to do so for half the salary. The players did not notice that in the smallest print that could be printed (measuring exactly 2 micrometers tall), FAFF had written a clause in all the players contracts stating that, 'If in the unforeseen circumstance that FAFF decides to increase the length of the games, the salary of the players will match the change in a negative direction'.
Week three would continue as any other and on Wednesday 30th October 3 games were played as planned. However the fans could tell that something was not right as this day would go down as one of the most underwhelming days of football in DLOD history.

BFVG Dream League Of Dreams Week 2

Week 1 of the Dream League Of Dreams was filled with plenty of end to end, none stop, edge of your seat action. But here at BFVG we are always looking for ways to make things even more exciting. So we decided on a couple of rule changes that came in to immediate effect.

In their infinite wisdom the FAFF (Federal Association For Football) came to the unprecedented decision that the length of all future games will be doubled. Instead of the regular 5 minutes per half, games will now last 20 minutes consisting of 2 ten minute halves.
The second change that FAFF announced this week was that the games will now take place over two days instead of the previous one. 3 games will now be played Wednesday evenings with the remaining 3 played the following Saturday. In an official FAFF statement released on the 22nd of October they declared that; 'These changes were agreed by a 10-2 majority in favour. The aim of these changes is to ensure that the sports popularity continues to grow and that the DLOD continues to appeal to the younger generation.'

The Dream League Of Dreams will continue to be broadcast on the BFVG official Twitch channel, now taking place twice a week. For more information on future DLOD broadcasts and any other gaming related tom foolery please follow us on Twitter, Facebook and right here on Blogger.

BFVG Dream League of Dreams Week 1

The players left the dressing room after a rousing pre-match team talk from their gaffer. Making their way down the tunnel the butterflies in their stomach began to flutter. They were only to aware of the responsibilities that now weigh heavily on their shoulders.This was it, this was the moment that they had all been training so hard for. Because today was not just any day, today they would embark on a journey that would either take them down the road to success and glory, or down the path to failure and obscurity. Today was match day!

As explained in a recent post we had recently set up a PES 14 league in which we would each manage a team and all of the games would be streamed live on Twitch. The evening of the 19th of October 2013 was the official launch of BFVG DLOD (Best Friends Video Games Dream League of Dreams) and it would not disappoint.

PES 14 BFVG Style; The Dream League of Dreams

Who will triumph in the Dream League of Dreams?
Do you love the Beautiful game? Do you enjoy playing said beautiful game on a gaming device? Have you ever wanted to endlessly sim a league with friends and see what happens?
If like me the answer to those questions was yes, yes, no then a few weeks ago I would have agreed with you. That was before myself and a few other members of BFVG found ourselves watching fellow BFVGer, Arjybarjy playing PES 14 while streaming it on Twitch. During our late night ramblings we stumble upon this great idea and from this the BFVGDLOD (Best Friends Video Games Dream League of Dreams) was born.



Its a simple idea, we each create a team including team names and kits (which I will come to later) then draft players to fill our respective rosters. Each week we would sim these games live on Twitch for our, and hopefully everyone else's enjoyment. Unfortunately there are not enough of us to have the league saved on PES (smallest league requires 14 teams) however I will be keeping all the results and updating the table. Then after each team has played each other twice a champion will be crowned. The winner* will be given the greatest trophy of all, the right to rub it in everyone else's face that he/she are the greatest and all others suck.
