Using Very Challenging AA Sliders. Have been realistic for us. We've witnessed everything from blowouts to shutouts and everything in between.
If you would like to see the stats from our dynasty, our dynasty is public. The name of the OD is "TrueDetermination"
We are looking to advance very fast (1-3 Days, and faster than that on weekends.). If you ever need the OD to slow down or speed up, I will try my best as commish to satisfy your needs along with everyone elses' needs.
No limit to choosing a team except for that the team can be no higher than 5 stars. Every team will have its challenges thanks to the rules we've put in place and tested for about 10 seasons in a previous dynasty. We are currently in year 2015 in this dynasty. The rules are setup so that the commish does not have to constantly figure out who's doing what, and gives the users a voice.
If you are interested either post here or message me on PS3 (GamerTag: TheFranchize07). For contact info, we'd prefer cell phone (won't ever be called), but will go with whatever is best for you. If you give your cell phone number, you will be texted ONCE about an issue or problem that you are needed for.
Right now it is just 2 users. We are looking to add only 1 or 2 more for now. If more than 2 players are interested, we may add more ;). The only thing with more users I've learned is that you must be more strict on week advancement rules, which are very loose right now because it really depends on the people in the OD.
Reason why this is unique is because we have implemented a soccer style conference system. All information of our rules, conference system, and anything else are written below. To me the best part about this OD is the penalty system. A lot of the rules are MEANT to be broken at times because just like real life, coaches sometimes have to bend the rules to reach a certain level. Throughout the years you will be faced with many decisions as your school has success. It is PERFECTLY NORMAL to be penalized some (like 1-3 scholarships per season) scholarships. It's how the system is setup and hard to avoid unless you run a perfect program. This system has made the game more interactive and in depth for us over the years.
-------------------
DYNASTY RULES:
A shortened version of these rules will be posted in the OD at the beginning of every season. If you want to change a rule, simply talk to me about it with your reasoning. I'm pretty flexible and am always looking for a better experience. As a side note, better to me isn't always winning.
SCHOLARSHIP PENALTIES: This is what will be used as punishment for breaking any rules. As a coach you must decide if a decision is worth doing for a certain price. This system will help keep the game strategic. Building teams will have a fair chance and juggernauts will be tested. At the start of every season or if you are coming close to the penalty maximum, you will be reminded how many scholarship penalties you have. For every penalty you have, you will be subtracted 1 less scholarship for next season’s recruiting. Recruiting evaluations will take place after conference championship week in order to eliminate any confusion with walk ons. If you ever exceed 15 Scholarship penalties you will have a simple choice. Either rejoin the dynasty as a team with a maximum prestige of 2 stars or quit.
RESTARTING GAMES: You are given 2 restart per year.
(1) Technical Restart – This is used for any type game freezing or malfunction. To use this restart you must provide proof of the game freezing.
(1) Mulligan Restart – Named after the mulligan rules. For this restart, no questions are asked. If you fail to provide proof for a technical restart and claim you have had a frozen game, your Mulligan restart will be used in its place, if available.
If you restart again without any restarts left, you have 3 choices.
Choice 1: The game you restarted AND the next game you have where your opponent is physically better than you will be simmed. If you win both, you are a lucky person.
Choice 2: The game you restarted will be the only game simmed at the price of forfeiting 1 scholarship for the next season.
Choice 3: Your easiest game remaining on your schedule will be simmed, and you can replay your restarted game at the price of 5 scholarships for next season. This is NOT applicable for conference championships or bowls. This option can only be used ONCE per year.
These rules for restarting are more than enough to satisfy any situation.
SWITCHING TEAMS: If you want to switch teams and not go through coaching carousel, the team that you want to switch to must be at least 1 star lesser than the team you are currently on, and you must have 0 scholarship penalties with your current team. You must ask about switching teams before the next coaching carousel week begins.
COACH SECURITY: If your Coach Security is at or below 30%, I will randomly make your schedule next year and it will be lower than a B. If you get fired from your team, I will override it and put you back on your team IF REQUESTED. The penalty for this will be that your team will be ASSIGNED a conference the following year and will stay in that conference until you have an above .500 season. You will then go through regular conference protocol unless you request a conference change, which will then be reviewed.
PLAYER EDITING: You ARE NOT allowed to edit you player’s size, height, or weight. If you are caught editing one of these things, your games will CONTINUE to be simmed without notice until you fix you player(s) back to default.
You ARE allowed to edit player names, skin color, and equipment. If you edit a player name, NOTIFY THE COMMISIONER. I have a good memory when it comes to recruiting classes, as I am very passionate when it comes to getting to know recruits.
TEAM PRESTIGE: Teams can be anywhere from 1-6 Stars. User teams that are above 3 Stars will need to meet a requirement for schedule toughness. 4 Stars has to be at least B+ and schedule 1 Top 20 Team, 5 Stars has to be at least A and schedule 2 Top 15 Teams, and 6 Stars has to be A+ and schedule 1 Top 8 Team and 1 Top 15 Team. If you can’t meet these requirements due to conference games you will still be penalized. For every grade lower (ex. - A+ to A) your schedule is, you will be penalized 3 scholarships for next season. This is to encourage you to switch conferences and keep the game competitive.
RECRUITING: This is also affected by team prestige. 4 Star teams have a limit of 4 Five Star players. 5 Star teams have a limit of 3 Five Star players and 10 4 Star players. 6 Star teams have a limit of 2 Five Star players and 8 Four Star players. If you exceed the number of recruits, you will be asked to cut however many you go over by and will be penalized 1 scholarship for each player. It is your choice who you cut to meet the requirement. If you don’t cut down to the limit you will be penalized as follows – for every extra 5 star player you lose 3 Scholarships for the next season. For every extra 4 star player you lose 2 Scholarships.
USER GAMES & SCHEDULING: All teams can be requested for scheduling. They are not mandatory but will try to schedule upon request. Commissioner may schedule user games that are not requested. If you request to play a team that is Top 25 and ranked above you outside of your conference, you will be set to play them as an away game.
WEEK ADVANCEMENT: This dynasty is designed to move fast with occasional bumps in the road. Advancement will be anywhere from 2 days to 1 week. I run this dynasty and my roommate helps when needed. We are college students who have been consistent with this pace of playing for many seasons now and only slow down due to school work. If you would like to play faster or slower, just simply contact me.
GAMEPLAY ABUSE: This dynasty is not about controlling what you can and can't do to make a real sim because in a real sim, coaches make decisions and are not limited by anyone. They just suffer the consequences AFTER the game or season (fired, warning, etc.) Therefore, we're very lenient on this subject.
The way every player should approach this is if you have a ridiculous game with a player with unbelievable stats that you KNOW will be questioned, upload videos or photos to cover yourself. If you are playing a USER vs USER game, it is the victim who will need to provide proof that the other user was playing cheap. User vs user games receive less mercy simply because a User has a brain. To be clear, the only real way someone can cheat [that comes to mind] is AI being taken advantage of in a user vs user game. Throwing screens down the field on another user is NOT cheating. It's abusing screens and the other victim user is held accountable for not being able to stop it as the coach of his or her defense.
If anyone has a problem with another user’s stats or even my own stats, the matter will be taken up with all people in the dynasty. I will present the evidence as the evidence was presented to me and all dynasty members will vote guilty or innocent by privately messaging me. If guilty, I will post a story describing the situation and declare a punishment based on the severity. This punishment can range from benching the accused player(s) involved to scholarship penalty to simming a number of a user’s games. I will try my best not to ever kick a user from the OD for controversial issues such as this without clear evidence.
SLIDERS: This is a sim league, meaning no victory is promised, but earned. If you have an issue or idea to improve the sliders, you can let me know, but be prepared to make a very sound argument because we have been playing for many seasons now and feel that these sliders give the most realistic results for our skill level.
