I am amped to see that we are gonna kick it off fresh here again. I love the quotes from me and the Capn. It'll also be interesting to test Heisman difficulty in CPU games. Time to fire up the VOL NAVY Y'ALL.

I enjoy the zippier game play...Madden is too slow. Also this Vols team will not be good this season I'm going to struggle to find 8 wins, but it will be quite good the next 2 or 3 years after this so time to play the "next year" card already.

FYI I have 2 major complaints, 1 of which you can address. I HATE playing the CPU on Heisman because it straight up cheats. It is not fun playing the CPU on Heisman, so please for the love of god put it back on AA. I've played my game twice now and had the CPU cheese its way to a last second victory and it sucks. The game is just not fun on Heisman I don't know why you insist on asking for artifically "closer" CPU games. I would seriously consider quitting the dynasty if it stays on Heisman, I just do not enjoy playing the game on that setting. The second is that the rosters appear to have been built by someone playing madden where 80 is basically an average team. The whole team feels like mud, and everyone's roster seems to be way way undervalued for how these games are built. Nothing to be done about this now, but whoever made these rosters really didn't build them correctly IMO. This I can live with, I can live with the normal game speed although I still prefer fast as well. I cannot live with the Heisman difficulty, game is straight up loving cheating.

AfterFather posted:We're on Heisman? No wonder the CPU players were rocket boosting around the field and my QB was fumbling anytime someone breathed on him. Basically all of this, I'm not sure if you changed the relative game speed of players either to make it more dramatic (there is a slider for that), or what but for sure no one has burst on my team and SURPRISE Heisman CPU dudes do.

Diodeous posted: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 Adjusting actual stats has to happen during the offseason more or less (although I think you can still change your teams stats). And yeah thanks man.

Rosters are fine, I can live with that. Vols lose 31-28 I've played 5 times and lost by a FG everytime so whatever. Let's just drop the CPU down to AA and call it a day.

Diodeous posted:I dropped it to AA at like 6pm est so if you played last night you lost on AA Updates like that doesn't take effect until the advance so yeah. You did, but it won't affect anyone until week 2. Why EA made a system where any global changes aren't reflected until the entire file is reuploaded is beyond me.

Diodeous posted:Wow, that does not surprise me Nothing does anymore with this game. I'm still fine with it, just don't want to try again and waste another hour where the CPU cheats its way to the W.

Diodeous posted:If need be I can wipe it and see if a sim does ya better. Probably not advancing tonight. I have a potential hernia and have to seek medical attention I literally do not think a sim would be more favorable. At least my stat lines looked okay despite the L, I assume UNR vs #12 will result in some lopsided disaster so it's fine. I will have plenty of time to recover (and still lose 5 or 6 more games).

Vols stomp Northwestern 62-10, despite a 1st quarter that saw me turn the ball over 4 times. I'm going to struggle against anyone with a real defense. I also watched the CPU for the first time ever sit itself into a delay of game. Lined up and just sat there till it ticked down to 0.

Diodeous posted:I really can't start tonight past 9:30 EST. I have surgery prep in the morning and have to be up by 6. If we can't do it tonight, I can find time this weekend. I'll try and be on at 9 ET, if I'm not on by 915 ET assume I got tied up and let's aim for the weekend. e: Vols over Gators 38-35. I scored first and took a 2 TD lead into the half thanks to consecutive drive INTs to end the Gators half, but stalled badly after the half letting the game get tied going into the 4th which started with a half opening KO return for a TD. Vols scored quickly in the 4th, then the Gators answered right back leaving me with about 3 minutes left. I drained all of that time and kicked a FG after an offsides to stop the clock with 6 seconds left. The Gators miraculously completed a pass that would have put them in FG range, but time expired on the play. I managed the poo poo out of that clock to make sure I got the W.

Diodeous posted:GG on your part, Z. I played sloppy and wasn't really all there and you were able to trounce me. Trounce is a bit too strong, I barely held on and basically felt I had to play the clock to get the W. I could have scored with around 1 minute left and purposely took TFL to run the clock and force the use of your TOs. I wasn't really able to stop you in the 2nd half, if you'd been able to stop me one 1st down sooner I'm certain you would have won.

Some serious dickery about there to be sure. Vols hung tight with Georgia through 3, but couldn't muster the tie in the 4th that lead to the inevitable second score to make it a 2 score game with time about expired. Just could not get a stop on 3rd or 4th down. Always gave up the 1st basically. Neither of us punted I don't think.

Still can't score in the 2nd half. Literally play even through 2 quarters then lie down in the 3rd and 4th, story of every game I've lost this season.

cletus42o posted:The countdown is on - better get that game in! Vols won 52-17, didn't really aim to run up the score, simmed the offense for Auburn entirely. Finally had a running game oddly enough. On pace to look good on paper, but still not be a threat to any of the top teams in the East. Just had a couple really good big plays, then scored every time I got into the red zone I think.

Vols complete their season at 9-3 (prb should have been 10-2, but whatever) and solidly in 3rd place or lower in the division. Maybe next season the defense will be able to stand up a bit better.

Oh Oh where am I ranked did I crack the top 10? This game places enormous weight on where you started in the polls. UF was #2 or #3 to start the season which would explain why you haven't really fallen very far despite losses since none of them were back to back.
