DYNASTY RULES

1) I will be the first truly cruel commissioner of this era. There's not an actual timetable that I have in mind, because I am human and realize that every situation isn't always the same. However, if you have a CPU game I expect that poo poo to be played by no longer than 72hrs(excluding extraordinary circumstances of course). I don't care if you sim plays to see that it's done. The rate at which we advance will be very arbitrary and to my preference.

2) Please communicate in the thread on a regular basis. It takes but a minute to post about your schedule or any problems you're having in the dynasty.

3) Don't play like a jerk: nano blitzes, 24/7 no-huddle, putting speed WRs at TE(w/o officially changing his position), or in memory of my dear friend Bio - changing a CB to QB, ya know, poo poo like that. I'm not gonna get more specific then that so use your brain. If you have to think twice about it then you probably shouldn't do it in the first place.

4) You can reset CPU games as much as necessary to get the win. Please, no rage quitting against other users, and let's not destroy a user team that isn't available to play for that week. Just do enough to get the win.


CONFERENCE SETUP
We will be using schools from both the BigTen and Pac12 conferences, but consolidating them all under the B1G due to loss of players. This means that anyone joining after the season has started will have to choose a B1G team this season, but can switch to a PAC team(if desired) during the next off-season. Looks like we're to the Wild West as everyone will be shooting for a spot in the B1G CG, and possibly the Rose Bowl.

We're at Week 2. Due to website issues I can't completely confirm it, but I believe everyone has a CPU game.

I'll be just about the timing on the advance considering several of you just had trouble playing.

Why did you title the thread NCAA 13? Are we going to all try the previous version of the game to see if dynasties still work fine there? :)

I have a bye week. I'm about to try to get my recruiting done after it failed on me yesterday.

edit - drat, still getting an error today. Just rebooted my router/cable modem and going to try again.

EA is giving me trouble again, extra annoying as that's now two weeks where I've lost the points for scouting but don't get the results. Also wouldn't let me save my game results, probably for the best since my sim Defense is terrible. Granted this team isn't much better when I actually control it either. I'll try to get my game and recruiting in at some point.

Maybe it's not being used to recruiting in the game? If it uploads the changes to the server after completely finishing recruiting, it should save them. May want to go back in and check to be sure, or make sure the recruiting button has the green checkmark on it?

I haven't been able to do my recruiting here in two days still though.

Hey Dubious, I'm going to go ahead and play the game. If you do decide to return, we can wipe the results and play it the right way.

edit - #2 Michigan over #4 UCLA, 49-14. Each team had a lost fumble, but outside of that, it was the Michigan defense that kept their offense on the field enough to make some really great TD passes. (TOP was almost even, but I had a WR with 233 yards on 11 receptions with 2 TD, with a long of around 71 - just busted coverage, no QB scrambling shenanigans - and something like 5-6 total sacks that really made it difficult for UCLA to get anything going) Subbed in my backup QB and HB in the 2nd half along with the entire defense - the recruiting classes I've had have me in a really good spot for that.

But I could tell that UCLA was a really tough squad, so Dubious, I am 100% cool with playing it over and giving you a fair shot to take me on.

Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were still playing the game any more, when I saw you were on AP I thought it was because of not continuing the subscription to XBL (but I might have mixed you up with someone else). I also saw you in the "Who's Online" on the subforum after I had posted, so I thought you had skipped over this thread on purpose.

JB did tell me to wait a few days to see if you'd post but that he'd wipe it if you did post to say you could play if I went ahead, so I'm sorry about that - I should have just listened to him. I thought that since you were on AP rather than your previous week's game getting simmed that it was a long-term thing. :(

I don't think I got any special info out of the game that will give me any advantage - I'm not that kind of strategist. Hopefully we can get the game played still and hopefully no hard feelings.

i browse sa on my phone, on the bus, which keeps sessions open, where you probably saw me online.

I reupped live, as i posted a couple days ago i couldn't connect to the dynasty. I was waiting for a user game to try put in effort to make it work, because i loathe cpu games.

No worries, lets try tomorrow later in the evening PST if you can.

Again Doobie, want to apologize! (and to JB too, since now you've gotta deal with it) I was in a bit of a manic mood last night (been working crazy hours) and got it into my head that playing a game would help me get to sleep. I don't really play any games outside of any dynasties/leagues I'm in, but I'll go that route next time. :)

I just had my 10th year anniversary party at my job and I lost count of the shots after the 7th. I do have a game with Wreckus in the SEC though so if he responds first I'll be getting that game in first.

I didn't hold back at all this time (though I did play all 3 of my QBs).

#2 Michigan over #4 UCLA, 66-3.

Starting QB Brown went 21/25 for 403 yards and 4 TDs, with another 2 rushing TDs.

Backup QB Thomas went 9/13 for 143 yards, 2 TDs, and one INT (only Michigan turnover of the game).

And then my future QB Bell went 2/2 for 52 yards, but went out with a concussion after maybe 4 total plays.

Defense racked up 6 sacks, 4 INTs, and 1 FF (not recovered, but it was on a KR, and pushed UCLA back to start around the 9 yard line where the ball finally rolled out). UCLA went 0/9 on 3rd downs and 0/1 on 4th downs, and actually had a TOP of 13:06 to Michigan's 10:54. Ouch.

During the week I'm good from noon to 3PM eastern if you're available then. If not I could possibly wake up early and play Wednesday night sometime like 11PM.

I hate to ask you to wake up early for you, but that's probably what we will need to do. I can't really skip work to play football (as much as I'd like to), so if we could aim for a Wednesday night (US time) window I think that would be our best bet. Otherwise it's wait till the weekend.
