Goons! I know the coaching carousel league used to be a staple of this sub-forum, but I'm wondering what kind of interest there'd be on Xbox 360 for giving it another go. I seriously miss playing in this league, so if we can drum up enough interest I may give it a restart. Any thoughts?

I'd love to come back to this. I'd have to buy NCAA 14 and another 360 though.

Me too, which I would do if we had enough interest to permit it.

Hey guys!

I'm actually thinking of commishing a carousel league. Right now it's me and a couple other goons (Cletus and Dio). We'd love to have you two join our efforts.

E: Actually, there's 4 of us now.

Yeah, we've been going steady the whole time in ACC, did an SEC/PAC, then Big XII, with between 4-5 of us and then a few newcomers here and there. Mostly it has been ZSB, Cletus, John Brown and me.

Good deal.

I've set up the dynasty so we're just logging in and choosing teams now. We have another dynasty (ACC) to keep us busy until you're ready to join.

we've already got most of the people in groupme and use it for the other leagues so it might be kind of hard to get the few non-SA people to shift over

I'll have to dig up my 360. Also, I'll let mmorgan184 know this is happening. I'm in a madden sim league with him so I'll hit him up and let him know.

I'm not joining a goon madden league. I'm so accustomed to sim style play now that playing with goons would do nothing short of piss me off.

I've actually been thinking of adopting sim style. The only issue I have with it is not allowing HUNH, and if someone is trailing late at the end of the 3rd.

Let me see if I can get my hand on the rules and I'll modify them. We could also take a vote on HUNH, specifically.

Well sim rules for madden on that topic would probably be vastly different from the college game. It's a lot more prevalent at that level.

I was never going to accept those rules at face-value anyway. Here's where I've landed with HUNH:

quote:

No Huddle is only allowed in the following situations.
- Any Quarter - Down 17, or one full drive per quarter
- 2nd Quarter - 2 min and under, or one full drive
- 3rd Quarter - Down 17, or one full drive
- 4th Quarter - Down Any Amount, or one full drive

Think this is enough freedom to not stop someone who thinks they're in a groove or has the opponent on the ropes, but also prevents anyone from running it 24/7. Also, we know games can get tight as early as midway through the 3rd quarter so I want to be flexible there and let the players play. We have to keep in mind that HUNH can also help someone who's winning to put the game away.

Sim style leagues aren't for everyone. They require a lot more effort and stick skills, and it takes time. Although knocking it without trying it is pretty narrow minded. It generally comes down to two crowds: "I want to play video games" vs. "I want to play football". The former are basically okay with most things. The latter want their experience to be as close to actual football as possible.

Lmao ok. I'm sure real football involves minutely restricting things like when you can go for it on fourth. It's in the NFL rule book page 486 sub section 27

Check this: you're making the game LESS realistic

Here's how a not insane autist handles this: guys, don't play unrealistically

I just looked in yalls other thread to confirm the insanity and the DON'T RUN THE SAME PLAY FROM THE SAME SET MORE THAN TWICE is so dumb. Lmfao have yall ever seen a football game played? You run a play until the opponent can stop it. That's football. Man, yall gave me a good chuckle

I'm so mad they ran strong power three times for 8 ypc!!!!!

Still lol ing at limited no huddle in a college football game with realism as an excuse. Too funny

Wow. You went from mild comment to giant spastic retard real quick. Why are you so butthurt over a thread you're not actively interested in, exactly? I tried the reasonable "hey different people enjoy the game differently" approach but you seem hell bent on going the "Everyone look at how big of a spastic piece of poo poo I can be because people don't agree with me" route. :golfclap:

Show me on the doll where John Madden touched you. I can't wait for the glorious anger-fueled 3 post response I'm about to get. You're right, I'm glad we don't play madden together. I pity whatever human beings have to put up with your infantile tantrums. Yes, we're the ones with autism. Try not to eye twitch too much while you're smashing your face on your keyboard jamming out your posts.
