2015 NFL MVP


Dilber posted:

The manager AI is kinda funny. It's the deciding game of the NLCS, and I'm the starting pitcher. I've thrown a perfect game through 6 and 2/3rds innings with 6 strike outs and a pitch count under 70. We're up 1-0. I give up a hit because the outfielder fucks up, and the manager pulls me. Luckily we still win.

I had this happen to me in AAA. I was perfect through 7 innings, had only tossed like 40 pitches, gave up a double and got pulled. We lost and I was demoted to AA with a 2.3 ERA and a zillion strikeouts and had to play through 2 more seasons of AA and AAA before getting called up. I don't get the system man. Maybe I just don't play the game the right way.

That crazy BadleRo. That should make everyone. I'm going to make a group chat thingie on the PS4 later today to discuss draft times. I don't want to clutter this thread with that crap too much.


Paperback Writer, if the invite was referring to the league your addition would make it odd teams and we need even teams. Also, we need to get this thing started since Madden will be out in a couple weeks and this game will lose interest in some folks. Sorry. :(

I activated the league to be ready for tomorrow. The documentation for this game is lackluster at best. I have a flashing thing saying Draft is ready, enter to begin so we will what happens tomorrow. I will start a party chat and invite everyone so we can laugh at Dubious for taking Kirby Puckett #1 overall. I heard the draft is something crazy like 90 rounds so we'll be stopping after the 25 man rosters are filled and let the computer do the rest.

It occasionally lags so I'd recommed using the queue feature so you don't get back to back closers.

Hey uhhh I'm dumb and have a final tonight. If there is an autodraft please just do that for me as punishment for not being able to read despite being in college.

No worries. It's not like you won't have a stacked team with the rosters we're using.



My girlfriend sprung on me this morning that she is going for her ultrasound today which I promised I would go to. It was supposed to be for tomorrow but she changed it for today without letting me know. It's at 2:30PM PDT so I should be back in plenty of time unless the kid has a second head or something. Just giving a heads up.

If I'm slightly late, can I start on autodraft and then take over manually?

Edit: irrelevant, I am home on time.

No carnival career for my kid. Batting 4 for 4. Draft is in an hour.

Edit: With only 6 teams I think this is one autodraft you won't have to worry about. The lowest rated player taken might be a 97. There is a good chance that even your beloved Puckett will be on the free agent wire for you to pick up.

No clue. I didn't start it. It also has me listed as the Mets when i picked the Astros.


Edit: It just arbitrarily just started for the hell of it? it's on round 13 so it started like 15 minutes ago or something on its own.

Edit2: And there is no way to stop it when it starts. No commish controls whatsoever.
