I'm so competitive I know I'll get frustrated with losing out on top recruits. You guys are helping a bit the CPU still beats me out. E: gently caress it, I'll come back with the understanding that this league is my last priority of the four. Meaning I'll get to the games in here last when there are multiple to play. E2: I'll need another day to do my recruiting though. I won't have time tonight with starting the B1G/PAC. John Brown fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 3, 2015 |

More so the thought of you winning sickens my stomach, so any chance I can ruin that (whether small or microscopic) is worth giving a shot.

I can tell you right now that you have no shot and are wasting points. ND is going to destroy your hopes and dreams.For all we know that MLB may have already committed and it won't update until next week. The Fighting Irish may only have a few more bonus points, but you have to also factor in that they can insert 200 more weekly points than us.

Z, I'll take that THP seeing as none of my QBs have over 82. Also, I'd be down for a reboot with updated rosters at the end of the season, but only if everyone is okay with that too. I just think it'll level the playing field for Cletus, Dubious, and myself, and this dynasty would automatically jump to #2 in priority.

Diodeous posted:I'm not in favor of a reboot because I've finally climbed that mountain to build NCSU to a respectable level but if it levels the playing field I'm cool with it. You'd be able to take Clemson. You don't have to start with that team again unless you want to. E: I just think this dynasty will truly be the last one running, and is consistently more active. The DD and SEC are full of inconsistent players who periodically go on hiatus so if we're gonna ride this until the wheels fall off I'd prefer we do it without glitches. I'd hate to have this whole negotiation over recruits for the remainder of the ACC. John Brown fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Aug 8, 2015 |

The Notorious ZSB posted:P sure I've got 0 points on Matt Jones you've been pulling away, Craig and Yancey as well no points on them either. I also can't let every decent recruit not be on my board. I've backed off the most important guys for you and Cletus. I'm p sure I can fix our roster issues in the off season either at the training stage or the position changes phase. That's quite the exaggeration as I'm sure many of the best recruits want to go to VT after back-to-back national championships. I've been doing the same for others in the B1G and SEC and it's not hard at all. I'm a bit confused as to why you're being resistant.

Obviously you own the decision to restart or not. I just figured with 3 people affected by it that option is a no-brainer. More importantly, I wanted to avoid arguments like this because I knew eventually someone would get frustrated with having to drop recruits. I feel your pain because it took me a couple of seasons to adjust to this recruiting system, but it seems like you haven't yet as last season's class with OSU may have been your best ever. Regardless of what happens for next season I am more than willing to give you some pointers. Knowing how you build your teams I think you put a bit too much effort into the front four - especially on the ends. After HBs and WRs, DE is the easiest position to recruit for so you could ease up a bit. A rule of thumb I have (excluding HBs, CBs, DTs and WRs) is to not recruit at a single position for consecutive years. Obviously if there's a stud I'm going to break this rule, but even with my hard-on for safeties I only keep a max of 3, with the youngest one likely being on redshirt. The reason my Nebraska roster (and pre-bugged Miami) were so stacked at every single position was because I DO recruit by need first, and then BPA second. Try going every other year on DEs and DTs and see if that helps balance out your roster.

The Notorious ZSB posted:Mostly I just want to be able to keep plugging along in this file on my own if it were possible, but I'm not sure EA will let me commish two dynasties which would mean I'd have to kill this one and yeah that makes me sad since I'd just make it an offline one if I could. Cletus is running two dynasties so I'll let him chime in on that. But iirc you had to buy the upgrade before they killed the ability to purchase such things. As for recruiting, there are many times when I break my rule and decide to keep a guy rated 73-75, and by the time they become redshirted seniors many of them have jumped to at least 92OVR. Dubious posted:That XP bug is a killer when you're up against maxed out coaches and deep recruting classes. I'm just now getting UCLA to an acceptable level and there's still alot of holes to fill that will take one or two more recruiting classes. Did any of my roster adjustments stick in the B1G?

Diodeous posted:It's kind of ridiculous you're only willing to take top flight recruits and that's a terrible way to build depth. I have plenty of guys who don't start until their senior year and were only 67-72 OVR. A lot of my top classes are heavily inflated by guys who are busts but have high star ratings. I have only been able to recruit on the same level as most of you guys for the past couple of seasons. I just suck it up, shift my scheme dependent on what players I have and pray that my defense isn't a total sieve. If you guys are #1 on a recruit I back off and find someone else who can fill that roster spot until the next cycle. You don't need a team of only 90+ OVR players to be competitive. This is true, but if you don't have a team of only 90+ OVR starters then you're not beating VT. History has taught us this. Before you joined our league I ran with NC State and Wake and built them both to championship contenders. I'll never do that with this stupid bug.

Just be careful with injury ratings. That was also one of the big flaws in the first two seasons of the SEC - guys were dropping like flies. If we're restarting I vote we go back to divisions since we have the players to do so. I'm gonna roll with Pitt. This will be the last dynasty and I want to see if I can still turn a franchise around, but I'd also like to stay in the division with V-Tech.

In other words you're putting off a new league until you can get your annual smash in on Miami  You have literally nothing to prove in this league at this point lol. Sometimes I wonder why you still bother to play this game?

We can duke it out next advance if you'd like? It'll likely be an embarrassment to Miami's, but I'm down to throw my controller a few times. E: You've got to know that your team is this uber because I'm in a position to challenge you. The last time we played was comical.

I'm torn on which team I'll go with only because I'll have a much better chance of sticking it to Z with Da U. The idea of building a program excites me, but Pitt will need at least 4 seasons to catch up to VT. My biggest flaw with Miami was not recruiting ATH QBs until I had no coach XP.
