I'm joined up and set my board/redshirts, r2a.

Feels GREAT being able to actually scout. :)

Weird not having a single TE on my roster to start, but maybe the standard GT playbook doesn't call for one?

I set the coach progression to fastest. You can take the premade coach if you want, but I'd prefer if everyone makes their own so we start out on even footing. If we want to use the premade coaches I'd prb trash this and restart it just to be safe.

Cletus - The Wing T does not use TEs, thats why you have like 5 FBs and 8 HBs.

I would recommend that Wreckus choose Clemson or Louisville instead of BC (they have a bad situation starting out, but would have promise down the line if you want to try and build it up).

Gonna have to recruit like the actual Hokies this time around, only 2 in the top 100 had interest in me, and I've only got 3 players on the board with a scouted rating above 75 lol. How times have changed.

Since this is a fresh dynasty it should be okay with your first join...

I thought the issue was rejoining a dynasty where you had already been a member. Is the actual issue that not joining during the preseason of S1 is the disastrous part?

Yes. Dubious joined the B1G after we already started and he's got the bug. Also, Vandy of the SEC has it and he joined after we started.

It's EA. It's loving random. I've joined dynasties post-S1 and didn't get the bug, but more often than not, have. Always tried to figure out if it's "did someone have that team before you" or all that poo poo. There's no logic to it.

I'm pretty sure my first few months playing with all of you, we were all trying to figure out solutions or what exactly caused it and how some people didn't get affected. We've all spent way too much of our lives worrying about it.

gently caress, remember when someone had changed a playbook for a team and then left and no one could play the CPU because you could never get a play off? That's happened I think in at least one goon dynasty and one other dynasty I was in. Getting people to join just to change the playbook. EA kills us.

The only 100% guarantee is to join before the dynasty gets started.

Umm alright? Although trust me when your QB gets hurt and his back up is some 76 ovr r fr you're gonna be mad. I figured since it was games it was more fun without worrying about injuries. It's not as though injuries happen that often, plus stamina still exists guys can get gassed and need to be subbed.

Thoughts everyone else?

i don't really care either way. In my seasons playing this game I haven't really ever been seriously affected by injuries anyway. Lose a QB for a quarter here and there.

I think i lost a running back for 3 weeks once?

I won easily, but I got ~*EA Magic*~ tilt against me on 3 INTs in the loving dirt. One was so bad, I cell phoned it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZSt8LV1Ico

I just think the stat padding and 24/7 no huddle will be out of control as it was so easy for me as Pitt.

It's not a big deal though.

I struggled to score so I don't know if that's going to be as big an issue once you face better defenses. Plus as noted Stamina/Exhaustion is still in the game so going full no huddle all the time will still gas your players making them slower etc. It just means no one is losing their star player to something wonky for the season. That's how I saw it anyway.
