Sweet! How are we doing teams?

CLW
12-24-2010, 07:55 AM
Lookin' like a nice 8 man tourny (either single or double elimination) on the PS3.

On the 360 I think I'd declare hitsticks the victor since the other participants are PS3ers as well.

cdj
12-24-2010, 08:36 AM
Sweet! How are we doing teams?

I figure we just match up and try to do even squads. I don't think anyone will abuse the system; everyone on the list is a known and respected community member - and JB is also on the list. :P

Around 11, I'll make up a bracket and we can start.

psusnoop

Oh boy can't wait to get this rolling.

When is a good time for you to play cdj?

gschwendt
12-24-2010, 11:50 AM
CLW, let me know when you can play. I can play over the next couple of hours or late tonight (9pm CT or after). Tomorrow I'm available in the afternoon and on.

This evening should work. Going to shower and then watch Inception. From 4 or 5 PM on I should be be free! Tomorrow will be free in the evening as well. Just let me know what works for you.

psusnoop
12-24-2010, 12:46 PM
I'm always perfect from 930 to 1000pm est, but I might be able to go earlier.

are you saying theres an online even teams option ? or we just picked similiar rated teams ? I just never bothered with that setting ...

cdj

Just similarly rated teams.

Hey man I will be available anytime after my wife leaves for work (6:30 p.m. EST ish ). So anytime after 9 pm CT will work for me. I'll check my CPU throughout the night so you can message me on AIM (clw22580) or hit me up on PSN (clw22580).

Those were some great runs. One was a Tommie Frazier-esque run where the D had him wrapped up, but he broke loose. That seemed to set the tone the rest of the day. That was a fun game though, despite being blown out.

So wish I had NCAA 11 for the PS3 or still had it for the 360....

psusnoop
12-24-2010, 11:24 PM
I only play 1 game on my ps3, NCAA lol.

Just got sonic and an atv/motocross games for my 5yr old to play on though.



That run certainly did seem to set the tone, but the pick the play before I think swung the momentum all in psu's favor. Really enjoying this and we should think about starting some round robins after this one for people to play while waiting on advances. Psuexv and I have taken part in those and they are really fun. We just go random with teams allowing 3 up or down to get the best matchups and use google docs to track the games and standings. With no deadlines it could be some fun.

GG:) JBs being nice. I'm sure he could have pounded me if he wanted haha.

the first game got cut off by servers so I got a little bit to scout him but it didnt help much haha.
I was looking for the option but he never used it. Is this round robin so I at least feel a little involved haha ?

I'll be honest ... the lack of scoring in this tournament has me very confused. Maybe there's more to the high-scoring we're seeing in Online Dynasty User games besides default sliders ...

Well, one has to wonder what minutes per quarter people are playing on in this tournament when compared to the dynasties (as I usually play on 9 or 10 minute quarters whereas most people that play online are only playing on 5 minute quarters), but, I think, in the end, recruiting and using teams that you are VERY used to using has a lot more to do with it than probably anything. Give me a team that I've had a chance to taylor make over 2 or 3 seasons (if you guys are that far in your dynasties) to how I like to run my offense and defense and also let me use the playbook that I always use for that team (and thus have used for numerous games/seasons) and I'm definitely going to score more points than normal.

It was my understanding that people were mainly choosing teams that were relatively closely matched, meaning, there are times where guys aren't going to be able to play with their favorite team or one of their favorite teams. Plus, they may be being forced to use teams that don't completely fit their play styles. Those things alone would cause me to go from a team that scores 35+ points every game to a team that can barely muster 14 or 21 points.

JeffHCross
12-29-2010, 04:40 PM
Good points, mors. Though I know both Snoop and exv are using the same teams they use in our OD. I was thinking Escobar was as well, but that was my mistake.

I think we are playing only 5 min quarters too....

Edit: as I see on the next page that was mentioned :D

Game was uphill from the start as first two drives my QB was hit as he threw and a lineman would pick him off. GG man good luck in the finals.

CLW
12-31-2010, 10:14 AM
Escobar - I haven't heard from you so I'm going to run some errands but I'll be back mid-afternoon for a few hours before heading out for the night.

CLW
12-31-2010, 03:53 PM
Escobar - I got your text message but haven't seen you on PSN. I'm getting ready to go out for the night but will be around pretty much all day tomorrow. Let me know what time works for you. Thanks!

psusnoop
01-01-2011, 11:56 PM
Like I said earlier TGT should set up a round robin tourney with people from here.

Play everyone twice home and home games. Each player holds opposite directions at choose a team and from the spot where it stops go up 3 or 4 teams and down the same to get an even matchup.

You could even have everyone run a team specific playbook to make it real interesting.


Thoughts? We could use google docs for the spreadsheet so everyone involved could update it or better yet a single person from here could.

CLW
01-02-2011, 08:27 AM
Sorry guys I just cannot seem to get a hold of Escobar. He sent me a text message after I had allready left on New Year's Eve and I haven't heard from him since. I am getting ready to leave for a week vacation but I'll pack/bring my PS3.

Escobar let me know what day(s)/time(s) work for you. Thanks!

Escobar
01-02-2011, 06:27 PM
I've been texting you. It's best to respond back on the texts, because I am out alot and don't have time to check the boards.

I'm free anytime tonight, tomorrow night I might be able to schedule a time, and I'm free all day Tuesday.

psusnoop
01-04-2011, 05:31 PM
Any update?

Escobar
01-05-2011, 04:33 PM
It looks like CLW can't connect in the hotel room from what was said in the Gaming Tailgate OD thread. so we have to wait until Friday.

For our teams it definitely is over. I could care less about tonights game but I am going to watch some of it.

Yeah for me it's just too long of a wait. I think it's getting a tad ridiculous that the Title game is 10 days after most of the other bowls. I can see if you want to set the game apart and make it on the 2nd or 3rd, but Jan 10th?

I'd be interested to see what the ratings have actually done since they moved the game so far ahead.

morsdraconis
01-10-2011, 11:48 AM
I know I don't plan on watching it (unless it turns out to be a close game and then I'll probably watch the end of it).

HawkFan
01-10-2011, 11:56 AM
Yeah the ratings will be interesting to see, like you said this far into January seems stupid. I'm sure they will pull a big number but I can not help but think the number would be larger is they played the game the 3rd or at the latest the fourth.

psusnoop
01-10-2011, 09:31 PM
I meant more evening after the game, but I think we'll just shoot for Tuesday night if your free Escobar.

Not a bad game thus far. Auburn seems to have some momentuem after that safety.

We'll have to do another one in a few weeks. Give everyone some time to work on some new strategies and plays.
