If I have a game I will play it tonight

Tried to play my game twice now and I have an issue where Oregon lines up with 4 QBs and 5 WRs and can't snap the ball. When I sim it crashes my game. I worry I may lose this game with a sim but whatever

I wish I had the ability (as commish) to change CPU depth charts and play another user's game for them.

That would not only fix this but also be bad rear end.

Dio, did you try erasing all of the game's data from your hard drive? That's helped several of us with problems. You have until midnight to try this and get that game in.

John Brown

WOW. Even after years of getting torched Oregon has a good enough team to best Dio's stacked squad in a sim, 42-28 Ducks. Sorry Dio! Def try my suggestion. You can use a flash to transfer/save your PBs.

We're at Week 3!

User Matchups:

#12 NWU (Piper) @ #4 UCLA (AF)
#8 Michigan St (Dio) @ #9 USC (Sly)

CPU Games:
Michigan (Cletus)
Penn St. (Wreckus)
Wisconsin (Dubious)
OSU (ZSB)

Let's advance Saturday morning or immediately following the last user game - whichever comes latest.

E: Jesus. In addition to Dio losing, Oregon becomes the #1 ranked team and doesn't matchup against another user for the rest of the season. Let EA fuckery begin.

Diodeous

I don't think its anything on my end that made Oregon line up like that and I pretty much knew I would lose a sim because gently caress EA. Pisses me off that I have to lose a big game because I can't even play it due to bugs

#3 Michigan crushes UNLV, 77-7.

Did a mass sub early in the 4th, backup QB Bellomy went 5/5 for 115 yards and 3 TDs. 2 of those TDs were with TE Richard Butt.

I will not be able to play until after 11 PM EST. Would you be able to play in the morning?'

Oregon was broken the last 2 times I played them. It's because they're still using a custom playbook that cannot be loaded without the user. The same thing happened during the Coaching Carousel after Kancho took his hiatus.

So, unless someone joins up and switches their playbook or we never schedule them again, a user always risks a sim loss to them. That sucks...

Sly, let me know when you can play. After tonight I'll be free most evenings and nights and can potentially do some mornings

I'd prefer not to play that late and I work mornings. How does your weekend look? I'm free mid-day Saturday and all day Sunday.

I can go most days from 1200-1500, earlier and a tad later on the weekend and maybe start a game at 2359 on Thursday if needed.

I work every day from 730 est to 430 est so I doubt I can make any of those times during the week and even starting at midnight for me is pushing it, but lets figure something out

Against Oregon, what happens if you just let the play clock keep running out on them? I'm not really sure what's happening in the game, I just saw you couldn't sim the plays.

Going to suck if they make it to the NC against a user.

Think we can get one of the non-goons from the SEC to help us out with this? They'd just have to join up, set the Oregon playbook under Coach Philosophy, and then quit...or stay lol.

How can this be when Kancho is no longer in the dynasty? Does his HC need to be fired or what?

Well gently caress I cannot get instant commits but you dudes seem to be racking them up. I wait till I'm #1 and welp, I guess it just doesn't like me. It says 20% chance I have more like a 5% incidence rate.

No worries. It seems like several of you have been busy, and on top of that, you have a user game in all 3 dynasties this week. I don't think that's ever happened to someone.

I didn't have time to post about it yesterday but AF beat me somewhat handily. I was down only 10 going into the 4th quarter and drove into the red zone with roughly 3 minutes left but shanked a make-able FG attempt. So being down 2 scores with only 3 minutes left I run-committed my D and AF threw a long TD bomb and the game was over.

My defense again played well but my offense simply wasn't there. I thrive on short passes to my RBs but AF's linebackers were constantly in the right position to stop those. I have a very limited vertical passing game and having to rely on that resulted in alot of incompletes and drops.
