I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

Season 6 is here. Hokies Hokies Hokies with their 4th ACC title won, and their 5th Coastal title, along with a 2nd national title. NC State made an appearance for the Atlantic for the 2nd consecutive time, and UNC/Miami came close but couldn't seal the deal. At this point we are all perilously thin thanks to weird recruiting. Remixed divisions to balance out some stuff and try something new, hello DUKE BLUE DEVILS WELCOME

Coastal Division Preview

Georgia Tech - BEEEESSSSSSSSSSS BEEESSS ALL OVER THE ATLANTIC

Miami - MANY #HIGHRATINGS PLAYERS HERE

North Carolina - NEW DIVISION SAME SPOT IN THE OP

Pittsburgh - ABANDONED AND UNLOVED THEIR COACH WAS FIRED.

South Carolina - THIS IS NOW DUKE

Virginia - LOLUVA

Virginia Tech - THE ONCE AND STILL CHAMPIONES

Atlantic Division Preview

Boston College - THEY WENT TO PLAY WITH THEIR OLD BIG EAST PALS IN THAT OTHER DIVISION

Clemson - EVEN VIRTUAL CAPN IS GOOD ENOUGH TO STAY HIRED

Florida State - DRIFTING INTO OBSCURITY

Louisville - The Empty Throne of Bobby Petrino's Motorcycle

NC State - READY TO REMAIN ATOP THE HEAP IN HERE

Syracuse - DUMPSTER FIRE OF THE FROZEN NORTH

Wake Forest - THEY STILL EXIST I GUESS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those that may be new to the dynasty here are some things you should know about how I run this ship.

1)I am a considerate commish provided you post and stay in touch with the dynasty through the thread (when it concerns player games) or contacting me in AIM/PM. If there are scheduling problems, provided I am aware of them I will work with y'all to get games played.
2)I am a cruel and powerful commish, I move this thing along when I say I plan to especially as it concerns CPU games. I will often set a deadline and players need to get their games in. I don't wait on people with CPU games unless there is the aforementioned communication about a situation.
3)We don't play FCS teams in this league. We prefer mid major meats around these parts.
4)It's a good time in here, trash talk is fine and we will all have fun with the thread.
5)I will listen to suggestions about improving the game play of the dynasty, but the decision to implement anything is ultimately mine.
6)I don't care about CPU games; they are for getting bowl eligible and pointless stat padding. I won't be upset about a reset or two along the way. That said don't restart a half dozen times because someone got injured.

If you got problems all I gots to say is

Teams by Division

Coastal

Wait List:

Wait list will work as follows; when a person drops out the first person on the wait list will get a PM and have 24 hrs to respond about taking the spot. If I get no response it's onto the next person.

Difficulty - All American; Adjusted Penalty Sliders; Recruiting is at Varisty
Quarters - 6 minutes
No QB Quiz, Ice the Kicker is On, Home Field Advantage is on.
No Recruiting boosters.

Basically I'm going to ask that everyone not play like an rear end in a top hat. I want to see good sportsmanship and that people play the game like real football within bounds. The game is trying to tailor it so you should be encouraged to do so, but lets actually try and care. I may make adjustments as the game goes along.

ZSB, it was a pleasure, but this team is a joke. My QB doesn't even have enough THP to throw my regular routes. I threw 3 picks against Arizona in the first half because of this, and I can't even imagine how that'll play out in user games. I wish EA had at least fixed arguably the most important feature in the dynasty (coach xp).

Anyhow, it was a great run. I'll see you guys in the B1G and SEC leagues.

JB, I really wish you wouldn't depart. We've got so few users so every loss hurts even more. Get creative and ride out this poo poo season and we can collude or something to get you a good QB

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

Tbh I've been looking for a legit reason to drop. I just got a Xone and will be hitting that up regularly, I need to start planning my next career move and could use the time spent playing games to do so, and my girl is loving destroying my schedule. Also, even if I get a QB and an oline I'll still get out-recruited by the CPU in embarrassing fashion.

It's time, man. We can't keep this poo poo going forever.

I will straight up give your QB a respectable amount of THP if that would change your mind.

Also I can't say that you couldn't work around it, maybe its a down year just like IRL sometimes it doesn't pan out every season.

It won't die until they kill the servers, I'll play by myself when/if it comes to that.

Your QB was 98 OVR he is now 99 OVR with 85 THP. I can't believe you were whining about a QB that has 98 SPD and 92 ACC just work on adjusting your play style to your QB.

Sorry, I really didn't think I came off as whiny, but merely explaining the reason for my initial decision to drop out. Fellas, I just got Destiny for the Xone, and I'll soon be picking up GTA and Hardlines also. I'll try to stick around for as long as I can, but understand that the B1G and SEC leagues take priority because I can actually develop those teams.

ZSB, thanks for the point boost but I've never been the type for charities. Please revert it back and I'll try to work around it.

Just mean that given the fact that we only have a few user games and I don't press people to get stuff played super fast I'd like to think of all the dynasties to stick with mine is the most accomodating. No reason to quit I love my xbone, but Destiny won't keep you forever and GTA is a p filler kind of game in that you can pick it up whenever.

Honestly I have no issue with sticking it at 85 vs 82, it bumps that stat into the green zone which means your passes will have zip on them. Not like I made him a monster. Just think you should work more QB runs/zone read into your playbook with a guy like that and not worry about the lessened deep passing (you've played me enough to see even with a strong armed QB i'm almost all west coast routes intermediate and short).

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

This is true. However, we both know I'll have to go through you to win the ACC, and there's one route in particular that consistently beats your insane press man, but it takes protection and a deep accurate throw. Two things that I don't have (excluding the stat change you just made).

Like I said though, I'll stick around for as long as possible. Nice to see guys still care about keeping this thing going.

Well at this rate if I don't land a Guard I'll be stuck with an 85 OVR Junior, and 2 scrubs, one of which will be 48 OVR.

I hate asking for help but you can see why I'm making an exception.
