I'm playing and have the bug so if any recruits have me at #1 right away please back off - I think that's really the main rule with bugged players we have. If I find any recruits that I "need", and would be in a close contention with you on, I might ask if you could back off, but I won't expect every request like that to be fulfilled. I don't know if I get one "gimme dat recruit" request per season or anything like that, but I might try to pull a fast one on one of you if we don't and you don't ask ZSB first.  Haven't set up my board yet though so I don't know if there are any people who have me at #1 right now that I'll definitely want, or anyone within top 3 that I could use.. but I'll try to get a list posted if I need to before we advance so anyone who should back off can.

So these are the main guys who had me at #1 to start that I'd appreciate anyone backing off of, I didn't check to see if anyone was in contention with me. Note that I also can only scout like 10% at a time so I have no idea what these guys' true OVRs are.  The MLB is my primary team need, so I left him on the image (and should probably move him higher up, but that OLB would probably do the job for me too), but Miami is the only user behind me in contention so if you could NOT go after him (unless you also have the bug, like Miami, so JB could definitely pursue him if he wants), you'll be my best friend.

John Brown posted:You're not going to steal any of those recruits from me unless you have considerably more bonus points. It'll just be a waste of resources for you, but shoot for them if you want. As long as everyone saw that list I posted and adhered to not going after the ones I have as my #1 already, that will be a huge relief since it looks like it's mostly users behind me. The MLB I'm #3 on, you are the next one behind me, and CPU in front only (but I think he's the #1 MLB), and that's the position I really need, so hopefully I can overtake the CPU. Yeah - #2 is Texas, I'm #3, you're #4, we all have +330 bonus, but #1 is ND with +360, so I'll just have to hope for the best because I'm not giving up on him unless it becomes absolutely clear I won't have a shot.

John Brown posted: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. I'm playing ND in week 4, and maybe if enough of us are, I'll be able to get him with a good visit (and a bad ND visit). Of course, like you said, I may not even get the chance for that. But gently caress it, gonna try! I have a similarly-rated (well, that's hard for me to say with the scouting points we get) OLB that I should get since he's #1 for me and the only other schools listed below are users who could probably fill the role, and I'm going after 2 other MLBs, so I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket at least.

Yeah I have had to restart so many times against Bama, they either beat me in the final minute or they knock my Heisman QB Yancey out for 3+ weeks (which would kill me in the round robin setup I'm sure). I could definitely use a little boost on my LTs if possible. OVRs are 67/57 for them. RTs are 89/66. Going to try to beat Bama again in a moment. Think I'm finally going to ditch the old playbook for something that should work better against tough defenses. edit - GOD drat IT even with an almost perfect game Bama stopped me again. I'll have to try it again later today. Yancey had 3 passing and 3 rushing TDs, total shoot-out, and Bama stopped me on my final drive where I should have scored to go up with only little time left on the game.

The Notorious ZSB posted:I'm personally annoyed that it saved the roster changes prior to the advance. I went and viewed them multiple times then it wouldn't actually upload them apparently. I'll check in a bit though. Guessing I should look at my LTs that I mentioned being 67/57 to look for the difference - my 89 RT was decent enough that I wouldn't think you'd have boosted him, and I didn't write down any stats for my guards.

Agghhh drat it OK I am all for a reboot. I had ND beat 38-37 with 8 seconds to go, and then they were returning it for a TD so I had to quit out. Will try again later. Motherfuckers!

Yeah that mod poo poo is crazy and I wouldn't worry about it. We should just enjoy the game as it is for as long as they keep the servers afloat. GT finally demolishes ND, 65-21. GT r2a. gently caress ND.

John Brown posted:How many attempts did it take you lol? Yancey hosed them up this time though, I think he ran for like 6-7 TDs. Dude is a beast. John Brown posted: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. I think we should also start a GroupMe room and possibly see if Adam/Vandy (also playing as Nebraska in DrunkDynasty) would want to join - he seems reliable (BTW ZSB, he was trying to schedule with you in GM for your game with him in the SEC). I think we might have one other reliable guy in DrunkDynasty too - maybe two - the guys playing as Texas and South Carolina. Just a thought if we want to really fill it up. I don't know that they'd all want to join or if y'all would even want to bother asking though. cletus42o fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Aug 19, 2015 |

GT over NC State, 35-31. Only GT's 2nd real "upset" win in the dynasty, I think my only other user game win was against someone who played as Virginia for a couple of weeks at best way early on when I first joined. Had a huge lead at one point, think 35-17, but Dio fought back hard. I was just trying to control the clock - which I know is something we've all been saying is a bad idea, but I don't exactly have a team you can trust to not make a turnover. GG Dio!

I'm joined up and set my board/redshirts, r2a. Feels GREAT being able to actually scout. Weird not having a single TE on my roster to start, but maybe the standard GT playbook doesn't call for one?

It's EA. It's loving random. I've joined dynasties post-S1 and didn't get the bug, but more often than not, have. Always tried to figure out if it's "did someone have that team before you" or all that poo poo. There's no logic to it. I'm pretty sure my first few months playing with all of you, we were all trying to figure out solutions or what exactly caused it and how some people didn't get affected. We've all spent way too much of our lives worrying about it. gently caress, remember when someone had changed a playbook for a team and then left and no one could play the CPU because you could never get a play off? That's happened I think in at least one goon dynasty and one other dynasty I was in. Getting people to join just to change the playbook. EA kills us. The only 100% guarantee is to join before the dynasty gets started.

Slywalker13 posted:Gg cletus, your pass d gave up a few huge plays that you couldn't recover from, especially with your recievers being unable to hold onto the ball. edit - Well, I hope it saved - it's still not showing on the Teams page of the website, but we had that problem with a game JB played in another dynasty, so as long as you made it back to the main dynasty screen it should be fine. GG like I said in the message! Yeah you were getting that receiver wide open on me. In the 2nd half, at least for sure in the 4th quarter, I was on the look-out for him to make sure that wouldn't happen again. (but you probably could have pulled it off again) Unfortunately since you know I'm trying option out so much, I was starting to scramble more quickly than I normally would just to get some traction with my fast QB - guess I need to start doing that earlier in user games, I just worry about cheesin'! And yeah, my receivers really were not helping at all! cletus42o fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Oct 5, 2015 |

The Notorious ZSB posted:GT gets lots of yards, but not enough points. VT had a bunch of huge plays early and sorta coasted to the finish (1 80 yd TD with 3 shed tackles, 1 83 yd punt return with 3 shed tackles, 1 pick 6). Otherwise gg cletus. (that punt where I think you got the TD, I think the commentators were like "Why didn't he go for the FG there?" - the game suggested punt and my kicker is no where good enough to have made it, but yeah, I should have just tried and failed there haha so maybe they were onto something) I was only able to show off Thomas' speed a few times but man he is unbelievably fast. I probably should have tried running more options in the first half but I felt like you were expecting them so I was scared. I don't think you messaged me back on XBL - but did the TOs get you riled up? I thought they might have - wasn't my intention. You went for it on that 4th and goal when I called the first one and I stopped you, then you threw that pick in the end zone even closer to the end. I was of course hoping to SOMEHOW get into the game but after you went for it on the 4th and goal and failed from the first TO I figured I'd keep doing it and try to cause more mistakes. I really never like to end a game, blow out or not, with TOs left on the board. Definitely not just to prolong the game for no reason.

I'm either going to get my game in this morning before I head over to my dad's for the Saints game, or I'll play it this evening. Oh wait. It's Wreckus. Didn't realize anyone was BC. Umm. So I'll look for him this evening, but do you want to just pre-preemptively put him on AP? Though looks like you haven't played yet either ZSB, so if you're not planning on advancing still for a day or two at least, I can hold out and hope to catch Wreckus before playing him on AP.

I've been really busy myself lately and with the amount of Madden 16 I've been playing, I am finding myself having less desire to play CPU NCAA games - especially since I can't stream from the 360 to Windows 10 like I can with the XB1. Which makes it possible for me to have a game going on one monitor while I work on my 2nd monitor (just needing to pause if something comes up). I think we'll let the SEC die - outside of you and with Dio only playing user games, it's pretty much just me and JB and the guy playing Vandy who has the coach XP bug. I am running another dynasty too but honestly I'd be fine with cutting down to just playing in this dynasty and JB's. Anyway, unfortunately I never caught Wreckus online when I could commit to a game, so I had to play the CPU - so GT is r2a.
