"My team is capable but I have not been." - The Notorious ZSB, following a loss to cletus42o. Past Season Quotes quote:"Hell naw guys, internet football lives forever. At least until EA kills the servers for it anyway. " The Notorious ZSB After a few successful seasons dominated by John Brown and the Bulldogs, AfterFather went HAM and won the SEC with an under-appreciated and scrappy Kentucky. We've had attrition over the past few years and the coach XP bug, so in the interest of getting it in, we're remixing to restart with the 2014/15 season. Let's try to get some new blood in here. Here is the link to join our GroupMe chat https://groupme.com/join_group/9207880/xJ59te  Let's get it started, ROADDOGZ. Our players (*indicates not on forums/find them on GroupMe): East Florida: Diodeous GT: BenedictWong Tennessee: The Notorious ZSB GT: JDMTyte South Carolina: John Brown GT: True Cryme Georgia: Nick GT: Venom173* Mizzou: AVAILABLE Kentucky: AVAILABLE Vanderbilt: Joe GT: Lzkilla 1* West Louisiana St: cletus42o GT: cletus42o Alabama: AfterFather GT: BJtheRealist Auburn: Texas A. Wreckus GT: QuikDrawQuincy Texas A&M: J Crowe GT: JCrowe19* Ole Miss: AVAILABLE Miss St: AVAILABLE Arkansas: GT: WeenisWrinkle04* Team write-ups will come once we have an idea of how many users we will have "Rules" 1) I don't care about CPU games, just get them done. You can restart as many times as you need to, but please don't restart games to pad the stats. 2) Difficulty: Heisman vs CPU, All American vs Users / 6 Minute Quarters / No Recruiting Boosters / Ice the Kicker is On / Homefield Advantage is On / Coaches Start at Level 1 3) You must create a coach for this dynasty. The SEC can be a little top-heavy with high quality coaches, so in the interest of persuading users to take a look at teams where the coach is the deficit, I'd like us all to start from the same place. 4) Like the ACC, no FCS games. Make schedule requests before the start of the season and I will try to accommodate them. There is no wait-list and WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN US. Right now we are at PRE SEASON TASKS and we will advance at the latest by Friday, August 1st. Otherwise we will be attempting to maintain a 72 hour turnaround whenever possible. Please make schedule request ASAP Here is the link to join our GroupMe chat https://groupme.com/join_group/9207880/xJ59te Diodeous fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jul 31, 2014 |

I'll remove the information and then you can send the thread and invites. I'll pm you the login info to share. Once you and Texas join up I'll leave 1 or 2 spots open to goons for a day or two

I had to end the other dynasty to start this one so no big wrap up. Sorry about that guys. I'm more focused on getting going with this before we lose momentum

Updated previous post to reflect addition of new users. When we reach 10 or 11 users, I will artificially cap it for a couple of days to give goons the chance to take the last 1-2 spots.

So, I think this is going to be my plan for approaching the week: I'm going to hold spots open until Saturday night for goons that want them. If they don't take them, I'm letting cletus offer them to some more outside guys. Regardless of the outcome for that, we will go into Week 1 of the season on Monday night with an intended 72 hour advance schedule. User games are the ONLY exception that will make us stay longer. I am going to be cruel if you have CPU games and you don't have any contact with us to ask for more time. I have my final exam for my class going on from Monday night to Thursday night, so I may shift the schedule to give myself a bye week 1. I would like if we could start Week 1 earlier, but I don't have any way to incentivize people to join up and set up their boards other than making sexy talk at you, baby I am going to be removing any FCS teams from your schedules and replacing them with better regional opponents or Notre Dame. I will attempt to replicate the schedules as close to how the 2014/15 season will actually look other than those changes. If you would like any different schedules so that you can target recruits or whatever then submit those requests now. Diodeous fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Guys, please join up and set up your boards. Most of the non-goon guys are joined up and ready. There was discussion on GroupMe about possibly even moving this forward tomorrow night otherwise we have to wait til Friday to advance from Week 1 to Week 2

From what I'm seeing in the GroupMe, it seems like 1/4 - 1/2 of us are done with games, so advancing by Weds is looking like the plan

I will shift it back down to AA. I agree about the roster and tried to make some changes to it but it didn't take

If you guys find a better roster I will happily rerun preseason tasks and week 1. When I looked at the roster initially it seemed good, but upon reconsideration there are way too many attributes rated too low. The only players who seem to be consistently rated are HBs We will not be advancing until at least tomorrow night if we keep this roster

So, here are my thoughts: - We will scale down to AA for cpu games. - We will not do a full scale reboot. I will offer to wipe any users week 1 game if requested. - These rosters have issues. I am now aware that I can alter rosters. I am offering everyone this option: Choose 3 players you want edited and pick 5 points worth of stats for each player you want edited. Otherwise I will use those points to improve your QB and probably defensive players. So, if you have a QB you want upped, give me his name, the stats to be altered (5 points max per player) and I will make the roster edits. (ex: Driskel - THA +5) I am not dead set on these point values but these appear to be a fair compromise

The problem is that there are a lot of other rosters with serious issues too and despite the low ratings of some key players, this roster is accurate and very good otherwise. With this method I can just make 20 mins worth of roster edits rather than making people replay games or me having go reset schedules again

You can join the groupme chat or you can message them on xbl or you can request that one of us in xbl get other contact info. They can see the thread. Just can't respond. Groupme, which may of us are using, is like doing a group SMS so response time is usually good

The Notorious ZSB posted:Dio Tuesday night is prb as soon as I'll have time to play our game. Where I will be mercilessly slaughtered by a capable defense. Tuesday is no good for me. Maybe Wednesday, but Thursday is probably more realistic.
