The problem is that there are a lot of other rosters with serious issues too and despite the low ratings of some key players, this roster is accurate and very good otherwise. With this method I can just make 20 mins worth of roster edits rather than making people replay games or me having go reset schedules again

I understand man. Like I said I'm ready to rock regardless.

Changing the difficulty to AA will help so I vote to leave as is if we're going to continue with these rosters.

Rosters are fine, I can live with that.

Vols lose 31-28 I've played 5 times and lost by a FG everytime so whatever. Let's just drop the CPU down to AA and call it a day.

Updates like that doesn't take effect until the advance so yeah. You did, but it won't affect anyone until week 2. Why EA made a system where any global changes aren't reflected until the entire file is reuploaded is beyond me.

Hey Dio, got a new player who joined up as Arky. He was saying the GroupMe link wasn't working anymore, though it seems to work for me. I'll check with him again and see if we can figure that out.

His GT is WeenisWrinkle04.

Nothing does anymore with this game. I'm still fine with it, just don't want to try again and waste another hour where the CPU cheats its way to the W.

I'm fine with waiting a couple of days to give Wreckus a chance to join and get his first game in. I think one of the guys from GroupMe was out of town until the weekend also?

I literally do not think a sim would be more favorable. At least my stat lines looked okay despite the L, I assume UNR vs #12 will result in some lopsided disaster so it's fine. I will have plenty of time to recover (and still lose 5 or 6 more games).

Dubious, if we don't hear from Wreckus tonight you can claim Auburn in the morning and he can make a new selection. Not going to make you have to take a second tier team when we've been up and running for a bit

I advanced this morning, will update w matchups

UT vs #6 Miami
Vandy vs #12 Clemson
#2 Bama vs VT
Ark vs FCS East

Alabama over Virginia Tech 55-0

Virginia Tech only had 118 Yards of Total Offense during the entire game. Most of that came on their last drive. Michael Brewer is an awful Quarterback who I thought was still at Texas Tech.

You can join the groupme chat or you can message them on xbl or you can request that one of us in xbl get other contact info. They can see the thread. Just can't respond. Groupme, which may of us are using, is like doing a group SMS so response time is usually good

Venom, I'm logging in now

GA downs USCe 35-28 in a game that was pretty close and crazy.

My team could've easily rolled over and played dead after my starting QB got hurt in the first quarter (out for 8 weeks), but I was able to make some things happen. I even had the lead going into the second half. The events that followed can really be attributed to either EA magic or team ratings. Gurley became unstoppable in the second half and converted literally every short yardage run for a first down. There was a play midway in the 4th on 3rd down in which he broke two tackles to get the first. I would've been there to at least slow him if it wasn't for the horrible lag that popped up late in the game. I think the biggest heartbreaker though was that TD drop by my WR on 4th down. He had clearly beaten his guy and just DROPPED it.

Venom called a nice offensive game and ran really well. Welcome to the dynasty, bud.

E: Actually Venom played well offensively overall. There was nifty catch-and-run he had that made the score even harder to reach.

LSU over Arizona State, 77-28.

QB Harris and HB Fournette both went out early to concussions. Ended up playing WR Diarse at QB in the 4th, he was able to both pass for and catch a TD in the game.

Auburn over Miss State 41-18. Had a tough first half but made a nice drive to tie it at 10 as the clock expired and Miss St unraveled in the 2nd half as Artis-Payne couldn't be stopped on the ground and Hamilton got his passing groove on.
