Razor, Jeff, and the Papa/Escobar game looks like will be all that's left. Assuming the peeps in the dynasty are going to play.

[Oneback]

You are going to see a restart for me. Got up 10 min into my game to take the corn bread out of the oven and it froze by the time I came back. The more worrisome news is that Jalen Overstreet is out for 6 weeks with a torn pec. Have to decide if I am going to burn a red shirt on my freshmen QB or roll with Conner Brewer who is strictly a passer until Overstreet comes back.

I've been doing family stuff all night. I'm going to try tto play mine tomorrow before we go over to the in-laws to eat.

Good game Roy, that HFA really did me in that second quarter. 4 snaps 2 fumbles and an INT and 24 unanswered points were to much to overcome for the Ducks.

Oregon will look to rebound next week against a tough OSU team.

Good game man. First time my defense has shown up like that in a LONG time. HFA is really something that needs to be tuned before NCAA 14 to help balance out the game. I really like my Freshman LB Parham. He is going to be a beast in a few seasons!

I'll be doing an attempt at SuperSim Online shortly. This ought to be an experience.

Your experience with it was much like mine has been :smh:

[gschwendt]

Looks like just Texas A&M vs LSU remains.

[Papa LoneStar]

I've texted Escobar yesterday morning and this morning about playing ANYtime today. No reply and that's not normal from him. I signed on earlier to see and he was on this morning 90 minutes before I checked....if anybody gets in touch with him....tell him to give me a good time from now until 12am.

[JeffHCross]

Your experience with it was much like mine has been :smh:Well, yeah, pretty much. As I mentioned in the Bugs & Glitches thread, SuperSim Online has a bug where the last <30 seconds of the first half will just suddenly disappear, with the play being a 5 yard penalty on the offense. That has happened without fail in all of my SuperSim Online games. Last night was the first time I can recall it happening at the end of the game. And it happened with 27 seconds left and the ball on Miami's 2. All I needed was a FG to win. But I got a 5 yard penalty and the end of the game instead. I mentioned that to OB and thankfully (and I am much appreciative), OB threw the result out for me. FSU wins the rematch in expected fashion, 34-7 with four interceptions.

SuperSim Online is both better and worse than regular SuperSim, IMO. It's true that you have (limited) control over the plays, but the lack of feedback makes defense basically impossible to influence. There are also some very strange descriptions which can lead to a lot of confusion. A punt block is a fumble. There were plays that resulted in first downs that I couldn't explain from the description. I'm glad for the option of playing on vacation, but the service does need some tweaks to make it something most people will use.
