Discussion points for the TGT Coach Mode OD (360)

[Coach Kernzy]

1. I've been testing sliders and we'll start with this set (http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-football-sliders/559748-iliveforthis-authentics-simulation-saturday-slider-project.html) with just one or two very minor tweaks. Thoughts or ideas?

2. Regarding our starting teams. What do you guys think? I prefer to start off with 1* teams and work up but I'm open to discussion on that. Starting with 1* teams as either a HC, OC, DC

3. We'll likely be using either Fairdale King's (unedited, just named) or the OS Community (edited with player additions/subtractions and ratings changes) rosters when they are released. Any preference? OS came out and they look good so we'll use those.

4. Advance schedule. I'm married with children so probably a 48 hour window for every weeks advance is what I've done in the past. If everyone is done we advance sooner, if not we can wait if necessary. Usually I'd advance in the morning and that would give guys 2 full days and nights to get stuff done.

5. Anything else that you all want to discuss just bring it up and we will.

I think we should use whatever roster comes out first.

Colin and BOSS, be sure to reply with your thoughts on those top few things and anything else that comes along

1.I have not tested any sliders for the use in coach mode and I fully trust that you are providing us with the best possible sliders :)

2.1 Star teams only to start and as the Headcoach, doing this makes for the best chance to build your school up.

3.I would prefer the OS community rosters, there a little more in-depth/accurate.

4.I am an 18 year old highschool student who is on summer break with a part time job, so I have lots of time on my hands,I would prefer ASAP advances but Do whatever is best for you older guys that actaully have things to do :P

Everything sounds great to me,but the only thing that I am concerned about is playing on Heisman. Every time I tried to play coached games on Heisman the CPU was unstoppable. However I didn't use the slider set that we have I just tried with default sliders. So with your experience with this set I'm sure you know whats best for realistic games of all varieties. The last thing that I'm worried about is starting our TGT Coach Mode OD(360) to soon,because you know how EA is they always have to fix things via patches and as of now I don't think that they have yet. Again like I said earlier you would know more than I would,with that said I'm fired up and ready to go.

[Coach Kernzy]

BOSS, understood.
It will be realistic, the sliders. The set I'm using from the guys over at OS are excellent. Football is very unpredictable but in general you'll win the games you should probably win and lose the ones you should lose and they'll be a few upsets either way as well. I've had nothing but fun with these sliders. They are also something I monitor each week to see if maybe they need to be adjusted slightly.
On the waiting for EA, if we do that we'll never get started :) So far I haven't seen a gamebreaker or anything that flat out would kill a league but you never know with EA man. We have to play the hand we're dealt and that's not always a great one from EA but honestly I think 13 is the best coach mode experience yet and I've played since 04. 07 was always my favorite on the old Xbox but last year 12 was very good and I think this one is even better based on early returns.

Sounds good to me commish. I am really looking forward to this thx. How can I use an avatar of my own for this site?Or do I have to stick with the ones that they provide?
