"My team is capable but I have not been." - The Notorious ZSB, following a loss to cletus42o. Past Season Quotes quote:"Hell naw guys, internet football lives forever. At least until EA kills the servers for it anyway. " The Notorious ZSB After a few successful seasons dominated by John Brown and the Bulldogs, AfterFather went HAM and won the SEC with an under-appreciated and scrappy Kentucky. We've had attrition over the past few years and the coach XP bug, so in the interest of getting it in, we're remixing to restart with the 2014/15 season. Let's try to get some new blood in here. Here is the link to join our GroupMe chat https://groupme.com/join_group/9207880/xJ59te  Let's get it started, ROADDOGZ. Our players (*indicates not on forums/find them on GroupMe): East Florida: Diodeous GT: BenedictWong Tennessee: The Notorious ZSB GT: JDMTyte South Carolina: John Brown GT: True Cryme Georgia: Nick GT: Venom173* Mizzou: AVAILABLE Kentucky: AVAILABLE Vanderbilt: Joe GT: Lzkilla 1* West Louisiana St: cletus42o GT: cletus42o Alabama: AfterFather GT: BJtheRealist Auburn: Texas A. Wreckus GT: QuikDrawQuincy Texas A&M: J Crowe GT: JCrowe19* Ole Miss: AVAILABLE Miss St: AVAILABLE Arkansas: GT: WeenisWrinkle04* Team write-ups will come once we have an idea of how many users we will have "Rules" 1) I don't care about CPU games, just get them done. You can restart as many times as you need to, but please don't restart games to pad the stats. 2) Difficulty: Heisman vs CPU, All American vs Users / 6 Minute Quarters / No Recruiting Boosters / Ice the Kicker is On / Homefield Advantage is On / Coaches Start at Level 1 3) You must create a coach for this dynasty. The SEC can be a little top-heavy with high quality coaches, so in the interest of persuading users to take a look at teams where the coach is the deficit, I'd like us all to start from the same place. 4) Like the ACC, no FCS games. Make schedule requests before the start of the season and I will try to accommodate them. There is no wait-list and WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN US. Right now we are at PRE SEASON TASKS and we will advance at the latest by Friday, August 1st. Otherwise we will be attempting to maintain a 72 hour turnaround whenever possible. Please make schedule request ASAP Here is the link to join our GroupMe chat https://groupme.com/join_group/9207880/xJ59te Diodeous fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jul 31, 2014 |

I am amped to see that we are gonna kick it off fresh here again. I love the quotes from me and the Capn. It'll also be interesting to test Heisman difficulty in CPU games. Time to fire up the VOL NAVY Y'ALL.

I enjoy the zippier game play...Madden is too slow. Also this Vols team will not be good this season I'm going to struggle to find 8 wins, but it will be quite good the next 2 or 3 years after this so time to play the "next year" card already.

You'll make me look bad!!  edit - Oh and Dio, no post-season wrap-up? Looks like the dynasty isn't available now for me to look at stats and do a write-up for you.

That run-game with Georgia was unreal lol. Gurley might have been a bit slower (94 SPD compared to Marshall's 99) but he was easily the better back. I really enjoyed the mobility of LeMay in that offense the most. I used to be a pocket passer but you guys have gotten good at rushing with the DL, and recruiting good Olinemen has been a pain. Therefore I've fully adopted the Russell Wilson run-and-gun style. He was the reason I gave Kancho some fits a few years ago, and I've slowly adopted that style ever since.

Updated previous post to reflect addition of new users. When we reach 10 or 11 users, I will artificially cap it for a couple of days to give goons the chance to take the last 1-2 spots.

So, I think this is going to be my plan for approaching the week: I'm going to hold spots open until Saturday night for goons that want them. If they don't take them, I'm letting cletus offer them to some more outside guys. Regardless of the outcome for that, we will go into Week 1 of the season on Monday night with an intended 72 hour advance schedule. User games are the ONLY exception that will make us stay longer. I am going to be cruel if you have CPU games and you don't have any contact with us to ask for more time. I have my final exam for my class going on from Monday night to Thursday night, so I may shift the schedule to give myself a bye week 1. I would like if we could start Week 1 earlier, but I don't have any way to incentivize people to join up and set up their boards other than making sexy talk at you, baby I am going to be removing any FCS teams from your schedules and replacing them with better regional opponents or Notre Dame. I will attempt to replicate the schedules as close to how the 2014/15 season will actually look other than those changes. If you would like any different schedules so that you can target recruits or whatever then submit those requests now. Diodeous fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Guys, please join up and set up your boards. Most of the non-goon guys are joined up and ready. There was discussion on GroupMe about possibly even moving this forward tomorrow night otherwise we have to wait til Friday to advance from Week 1 to Week 2

LSU over TCU, 45-13. Notable for this amazing new play I've designed, where the center just runs the ball himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV9dpuyFn80

From what I'm seeing in the GroupMe, it seems like 1/4 - 1/2 of us are done with games, so advancing by Weds is looking like the plan

FYI I have 2 major complaints, 1 of which you can address. I HATE playing the CPU on Heisman because it straight up cheats. It is not fun playing the CPU on Heisman, so please for the love of god put it back on AA. I've played my game twice now and had the CPU cheese its way to a last second victory and it sucks. The game is just not fun on Heisman I don't know why you insist on asking for artifically "closer" CPU games. I would seriously consider quitting the dynasty if it stays on Heisman, I just do not enjoy playing the game on that setting. The second is that the rosters appear to have been built by someone playing madden where 80 is basically an average team. The whole team feels like mud, and everyone's roster seems to be way way undervalued for how these games are built. Nothing to be done about this now, but whoever made these rosters really didn't build them correctly IMO. This I can live with, I can live with the normal game speed although I still prefer fast as well. I cannot live with the Heisman difficulty, game is straight up loving cheating.

We're on Heisman? No wonder the CPU players were rocket boosting around the field and my QB was fumbling anytime someone breathed on him. BTW I agree on the Rosters. Alabamas offense is better than its defense. I think the Offense is 90 Ovr and the defense is around 85. Plus it feels like my players are stuck in the mud.

Basically all of this, I'm not sure if you changed the relative game speed of players either to make it more dramatic (there is a slider for that), or what but for sure no one has burst on my team and SURPRISE Heisman CPU dudes do.

Dio, might have found another person who will join up. Thought he was going to join last night but must have slipped his mind. If we can hold off on advancing until he joins and can get his game in, that'd be cool. Anyone hear from Wreckus yet?

IMO if we're even gonna consider adjusting stats then we should find another roster and start over while we're here in the beginning. It'll be difficult to do so (logically) once guys start progressing and what not. I have no problem starting Week 1 over because it's only been once CPU game. Of course this is Dio's show though.

If you guys find a better roster I will happily rerun preseason tasks and week 1. When I looked at the roster initially it seemed good, but upon reconsideration there are way too many attributes rated too low. The only players who seem to be consistently rated are HBs We will not be advancing until at least tomorrow night if we keep this roster

So, here are my thoughts: - We will scale down to AA for cpu games. - We will not do a full scale reboot. I will offer to wipe any users week 1 game if requested. - These rosters have issues. I am now aware that I can alter rosters. I am offering everyone this option: Choose 3 players you want edited and pick 5 points worth of stats for each player you want edited. Otherwise I will use those points to improve your QB and probably defensive players. So, if you have a QB you want upped, give me his name, the stats to be altered (5 points max per player) and I will make the roster edits. (ex: Driskel - THA +5) I am not dead set on these point values but these appear to be a fair compromise

That seems much more complicated than just restarting with better rosters, but meh. I'll keep balling out regardless. E: If we stick with these rosters then I'll pass on the addition of points and just deal with it.
