Gaming Tailgate PS3 OD General Discussion Thread

[ryby6969]

Sorry to hear about your loss CLW. I am willing to wait as long as it takes for you to take care of your family. It is just a game in the end.

[cdj]

Putting off the inevitable, eh? ;)

At this point, yes, I'm sure we can get the game in somewhere during that time frame.

I should be free after 6 or 7 PM CT tonight. I'll look for you when free. Good luck!

[steelerfan]

I just got home from a loooooooong night of carousing. I may go to the horse track this evening, depending when I wake up.




EDIT: Probably not going to the track afterall, but still not sure of my availability at this point. Look for me or text me if you become ready, willing and able to play.

[steelerfan]

Auburn lays the smack down on PSU, 31-10. Great game, Chris. Huge win for your program.

gschwendt remains.

[gschwendt]

Auburn lays the smack down on PSU, 31-10. Great game, Chris. Huge win for your program.

gschwendt remains.I'll get mine in early this afternoon.

[gschwendt]

Done. Just waiting on JB to recruit.

[JBHuskers]

Done. Just waiting on JB to recruit.

I've been done. I recruited from the web while I was gone. So it's ready to go.

[CLW]

Back from my hiatus.

[steelerfan]

Back from my hiatus.

I hope everything went as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Glad to hear you made it home safely.

[steelerfan]

2/8 are ready (Auburn and PSU).

Everyone has a Bye, just recruiting needs to be done. Get on it, gentlemen. I would think we should be ready to advance by tomorrow.

[gschwendt]

Notre Dame done... still have 5 hours remaining but they won't be used. I'll try to hop on and set ready to advance but in case I don't, know that I'm ready.

[JBHuskers]

I had trouble on the web recruiting, so I'll finish up from the console tomorrow.

[ryby6969]

Miami is done recruiting from the web so I did not get to set ready.

[steelerfan]

Those who haven't recruited, please do so. It shouldn't take us 3 or 4 days to finish a week when all we have is recruiting. It should be like the offseason - about 24 hours.

[CLW]

Florida finished recruiting. I believe I set it ready to advance on Monday.

[Marlowe]

I finished recruiting yesterday from the 'net. Texas is ready to advance.

[CLW]

Who's left?

[gschwendt]

I say advance away... 48 hours is plenty of time for only recruiting. But I'm the new guy here...

[CLW]

I'm with this "new guy". :up:

[steelerfan]

I'm with this "new guy". :up:

cdj advanced us to Championship Week this morning.

[steelerfan]

There are only 3 games this week. With JB and CLW playing each other on Thursday, I think Friday should be a reasonable time to target advancing again. Escobar, Ryby, can you work in that time frame?

I should be able to play my game sometime tomorrow.

[JBHuskers]

Bama wins the SEC championship with a huge upset of #1 Florida 54-10. Early fumbles and picks cost Florida any momentum in this game, and then two fumbles in the endzone in the 4th just made it ugly with Bama getting 30 points in the 4th quarter.

GG CLW...tough luck on that one :(

GG man EA doesn't want me to win a BCS title in this game. Between the turnovers and your D I just had NO shot tonight.

[steelerfan]

Wow. SEC has beens have been destroying the upper eschelon lately. :smh:

Escobar said he should have his game done in a few hours, so we should have the weeken to knockout bowl games.

[steelerfan]

We have advanced to Bowl Week. GL everyone.

[JBHuskers]

We have advanced to Bowl Week. GL everyone.

Escobar, you can PayPal me a donation for giving you a CPU game for the title game :P

[Escobar]

Escobar, you can PayPal me a donation for giving you a CPU game for the title game :P

lol. Thank you very much :D Hopefully I don't get one of those superhuman CPU games

[steelerfan]

PSU beats LSU in the Capital One Bowl, 23-20 and finishes 12-2. I'm still a little miffed about going 8-0 in the Big 10 and not getting a BCS berth, lol. And how does a 3-loss team rise to #4 after Championship Week (I'm looking at you, JB)?

I'm. That. Damn. Good.

[JeffHCross]

And how does a 3-loss team rise to #4 after Championship Week (I'm looking at you, JB)?1. EA's poll logic gives way too much weight to starting position. #2 EA's poll logic gives ridiculous weight to upsets of top opponents, regardless of season performance. #3 JB paid good money to get code put into the game. :nod:

[JBHuskers]

#3 JB paid good money to get code put into the game. :nod:

[steelerfan]

Or EA just realizes that most of the state of Alabama's population can't count past four. It's sort of a sympathy/mercy rule.

[JBHuskers]

I will try to get this in tonight....probably tomorrow though.

[Marlowe]

GG CLW

[cdj]

Only JB & Escobar remain.

[CLW]

GG CLW

GG Man! Sorry I had to play and run last night but the wife was nagging me about not spending time with her before my business trip the rest of the week.

Hopefully, the Gators can actually get some recruits to sign during the off-season this incoming class is pretty bare bones right now.

[JBHuskers]

Only JB & Escobar remain.

Gotta play Tommy in SBCOL, then sometime after I will be able to get my game in.

[JBHuskers]

We have now advanced to Players Leaving...

[JBHuskers]

T. Richardson - RB - 99 - SR - Graduation - NOOOOOOOOOOO!

[CLW]

T. Richardson - RB - 99 - SR - Graduation - NOOOOOOOOOOO!
:up: :nod: :check::)):cool::P:drool:

Signed

:Florida:

[CLW]

:Florida:

Coach CLW and his staff bid farewell to 17 Seniors. The class included: WR Omarius Hines (98 Ovr); MLB Jelani Jenkins (96 OVR); RT David Young (96 OVR); LT Xavier Nixon (95 OVR); C Sam Robey (93 OVR); CB Adrian Bushell (91 OVR); CB Jeremy Brown (91 OVR); WR Frankie Hammond, JR. (91 OVR); FS Dee Finley (91 OVR) and HB Mike Gillislee (90 OVR).

Gillislee rushed for nearly 1200 yards and 18 touchdowns this season averaging nearly 8 yards per carry. It will be interesting to see who steps up and fills the void at RB for the Gators.

Jenkins was a STUD for 3 years for Coach CLW. Jenkins won the following awards during his career - 2011: Bednarik and Best LB - 2012: Nagurski and Best LB. In 3 seasons Jenkins finished with 208 tackles, 76 TFL, 62 ATK, 27 sacks (22 of which came last season); 4 INTs; 1 TD; 11 PD and 8 FF.

Interestingly the two Senior WRs only combined for 49 catches and 5 TDs last season (Hines 25/3 Hammond 24/2).


Coach CLW was also able to convince the 8 juniors who were thinking about leaving early to come back for their senior seasons.

:Florida: Ready to advance.

[steelerfan]

PSU is ready as well.

We need to talk sliders, gentlemen. I am going to start a 2013 slider thread, please make comments to help cdj.

[ryby6969]

Coach Ryby was able to convince Junior MLB Shayon Green to stay for his senior season but Junior HB Lamar Miller chose to go and play on Sunday's. Sophomore HB Storm Johnson looks to step right in and take over in Miller's absence next season.

[gschwendt]

Lost my starting QB (though not best OVR QB) and my 99 KPW punter. I also lost a freshman SS that probably would have moved to OLB and a TE but I'm not sure whether he was good or bad. I did manage to convince my starting HB to return.

[JBHuskers]

I lost an 86 OVR CB RS Sophomore who had 7 picks and 3 TD's this year....he also returned punts and kicks :smh:

Also lost a junior 93 OVR DE. But losing my 3rd CB early in two years is killer.

[steelerfan]

I had a backup QB (RS So.) and a backup HB (RS Fr.) threaten to transfer to Cincinnati. I have the #s 5, 12, and 14 QBs in this year's class (all 4*) as well as a bunch of young HBs so I didn't want to waste a lot of time trying to keep these guys. I used a total of 40 minutes on the HB and 30 on the QB and both stayed.

[JBHuskers]

I used two hours on each of those jabronis....

[steelerfan]

I used two hours on each of those jabronis....

Ouch! I guess we can assume that you're ready to advance to Week 2 of Offseason Recruiting, lol.

[JBHuskers]

Yes, fuckers.

[steelerfan]

Yes, fuckers.

[gschwendt]

So for offseason... do we all get on one night or is it a day by day event?

[steelerfan]

So for offseason... do we all get on one night or is it a day by day event?

Unfortunately, it's always been a 1-3 day per event affair. I'd love to do it all in one night and can pretty much guarantee I can do it any given evening.

[gschwendt]

I'm available any night except Saturday.

[CLW]

Unfortunately, it's always been a 1-3 day per event affair. I'd love to do it all in one night and can pretty much guarantee I can do it any given evening.

The best way to to do it is for everyone to sit down and knock it out in one night.


I'm available any night except Saturday.

I am also available after 7 pm EST every night.

[JBHuskers]

I'm around tonight until about 9PM, have a sleep study I have to do tonight.

Updated again. Tonight is out due to conflicting schedules. We're 5/8 good for Thursday night. Ryby, Marlowe, Escobar, can you make Thursday night work?

[ryby6969]

I am good tomorrow night but not Friday and I am available on sat and sun night

[gschwendt]

For the Players Leaving stage, we're just waiting on Marlowe.

[Marlowe]

I just got done with players leaving. Looks like we're ready to advance. I can make Thursday night.

[cdj]

AUB finished with Transfer Requests. (Don't think I've had someone want to come in since the PS2 days.)

[gschwendt]

AUB finished with Transfer Requests. (Don't think I've had someone want to come in since the PS2 days.)
You mean incoming transfers? If so, we can skip step because I checked during the Players Leaving and no HUM controlled teams had any players wanting to come in.

I think the lower tier schools have a much more distinct advantage at getting incoming transfers... in SBCOL, I had I like 15 total between two seasons. Needless to say, they've seen their fair share of playing time because of it.

[CLW]

Yeah in my all MAC OD we get several transfer requests some of which have completely changed the dynamic of the dynasty.

[steelerfan]

So here's what we know...

steelerfan - will make any night work
gschwendt - any night but Saturday
CLW - will make any night work
JBHuskers - Thursday night, and maybe Friday night
cdj - Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night
Ryby - Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday night.
Marlowe - Thursday night
Escobar - ?

I sent Escobar a text and a PSN message, at noon yesterday, asking him to post his availability here.

Escobar remains....

[gschwendt]

So if we do this tonight, what time are we aiming for?

[cdj]

You mean incoming transfers? If so, we can skip step because I checked during the Players Leaving and no HUM controlled teams had any players wanting to come in.

OK, I will skip ahead to Recruiting Week One.

Name a time, folks and I will be on and ready to roll then.

[steelerfan]

So if we do this tonight, what time are we aiming for?

I would suggest 6:30 CST, 7:30 EST. That seems to be good according to all the posts, but I'll do whatever is agreeable.

Of course, Escobar still hasn't responded and he rarely posts here. Are we going to move on anyway?

[steelerfan]

PSU is ready to advance to Week 2.

[ryby6969]

Miami is ready to advance also. Is this going to happen tonight?

[gschwendt]

Miami is ready to advance also. Is this going to happen tonight?
Notre Dame is ready.

My vote is yes for tonight... might be a different story if Escobar had said he can't make it at all but to not hear anything is a different story IMO. I'll defer to others' opinions though.

[ryby6969]

Notre Dame is ready.

My vote is yes for tonight... might be a different story if Escobar had said he can't make it at all but to not hear anything is a different story IMO. I'll defer to others' opinions though.

I agree and I honestly think it will be tough to get everyone on another night.

[ryby6969]

I will be a few minutes late if we start at 7:30 est.

[cdj]

Escobar, Marlowe, CLW remain for Week 1 offseason recruiting.

Also texted Escobar to see if he can make it; no reply. If he can't make it, I wish he would let one of us know. Until then, I say we go ahead. I'm on now and will keep checking in periodically, but we won't 'technically' start until shortly after 6:30 PM CT for ryby.

[cdj]

I've heard from Esobar. He will be at work until 10:30. Will see if he can do a couple weeks at that time....

EDIT - He says he should be able to then.

[gschwendt]

I've heard from Esobar. He will be at work until 10:30. Will see if he can do a couple weeks at that time....

EDIT - He says he should be able to then.So are we all waiting until that time or doing some before then?

[ryby6969]

I am ready but I guess we are waiting for Escobar?

[steelerfan]

So 10:30 CST? I can do that.

[ryby6969]

If it is 10:30cst time then I will set myself to auto because that is too late for me to start.

[steelerfan]

I think we should either forget about it, or do it without Escobar. He had plenty of time to post his schedule here. Everyone else did. I would be against any plan that screws anybody else.

[gschwendt]

So what's the plan then? Are we just going to go day by day now?

[ryby6969]

So what have we decided on?

[cdj]

What happened to CLW? At last check, we're waiting on him and Escobar.

[JBHuskers]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_C4weksjw8

[ryby6969]

I am trying to stay up so we can get some done tonight. Is that still the plan?

[gschwendt]

I am trying to stay up so we can get some done tonight. Is that still the plan?
I think it's all too disorganized for that to happen at this point. We're going to need a set date/time.

That said, what does everyone's Sunday look like? How about 7pm ET/6pm CT?

I'm good for anytime Sunday but want to set a specific time so that everyone is on the same page.

[steelerfan]

I'm guessing cdj is the dog. Perfect that there are only 5 cattle (CLW and Escobar can't be herded). :nod: :smh:

That would work for me. The only time I can't is tomorrow night because I work at 3am on Saturday.

But, let's keep going in the meantime.

:D :D :D

[JBHuskers]

Duke's on ... would be my guess as to where CLW is...

[cdj]

Sunday night would work for me as well, but like said above - let's keep pushing up until then.

[CLW]

Duke's on ... would be my guess as to where CLW is...

Sorry guys didn't get home from my travels until NCAA time. Of course I wish I had not watched the tube last night. :sick:

I will get to my recruiting tonight when I get home.


I am free Sunday night.

[steelerfan]

Sorry guys didn't get home from my travels until NCAA time.

Heh, no hurry. Despite the pleas from, and promises to, our Commissioner, Escobar still hasn't recruited.

The most common phrase in this thread is "Escobar Remains". Unbelieveable. :rolleyes::bang:

[Marlowe]

I'm good for Sunday.

[CLW]

Finished recruiting. Escobar remains.

[steelerfan]

PSU is ready to advance to Week 3 of recruiting.

[Marlowe]

Texas ready to advance to week 3 recruiting.

[ryby6969]

Miami ready to advance to week 3.

[CLW]

:Florida: ready to advance

[gschwendt]

Notre Dame ready. Just waiting on JB and Escobar.

[cdj]

Still waiting on JB and Escobar.

[JBHuskers]

We have advanced to week 3.

[steelerfan]

PSU is ready to advance to Week 4.

[gschwendt]

ND is ready to advance... however I did my recruiting on the web so it won't show me marked as ready.

[CLW]

:Florida: ready to advance

[Marlowe]

Texas ready to advance

[ryby6969]

G and Escobar are all that remain for week 3 recruiting.

[JBHuskers]

I won't be able to recruit again until tomorrow as I'm DJ'ing tonight...

[gschwendt]

G and Escobar are all that remain for week 3 recruiting.
I'm done... did mine via Dynasty Wire. Just haven't gotten onto the console to mark it ready (posted it earlier).

[steelerfan]

I'm done... did mine via Dynasty Wire. Just haven't gotten onto the console to mark it ready (posted it earlier).

So....

Escobar remains.

[cdj]

I will advance now.

[gschwendt]

Notre Dame is done with Week 4 (did it via DW). I only have one target left but I think I'm going to get cheated out of him by the CPU despite them not offering a scholarship.

[ryby6969]

Miami is done recruiting for the year and a QB controversy may be brewing in Coral Gables. The Canes were able to sign the top 2 QBs in this years recruiting class and coach Ryby said it will be an open competition this offseason for the starting job.

#1 QB Frank Adkins
6'2" 198lbs

Speed B+
Agility C+
Throw Power B-
Throw Acc C


#2 QB Jake Martin
6'2" 171lbs

Speed B-
Agility C+
Throw Power B+
Throw Acc B-

Miami might go to a variation of a spread offense next season.

[steelerfan]

I'm done with week 4. I have no serious targets left. The only guys I'm talking to now are your targets. And I'm bad-mouthing you. :nod:

[JBHuskers]

Don't with recruiting.

I don't need to do anything in weeks 4 & 5....both of my remaining targets committed....:5star: T to me, lost a :5star: QB

[CLW]

:Florida: finished with recruiting for the year.

[gschwendt]

This is less of a question and more of a statement... we're on for tonight at 7pm ET/6pm CT, RIGHT?

[cdj]

Looks like only Marlowe left for Week 4.

6 PM CT works here.

[CLW]

I am available at that time.

[ryby6969]

That works for me tonight also. I sent Marlowe a message on PSN letting him know he was the last one left this week.

[JBHuskers]

Works for me too....remember to skip me on week 4 and 5 of recruiting, don't need it.

[steelerfan]

I'm in at 6 PM.

[CLW]

Are we going to set up an AIM chat or just communicate on PSN?

[gschwendt]

Are we going to set up an AIM chat or just communicate on PSN?
The way I usually do it on mine is to setup a PSN chat... you can minimize it as you recruit and then come back when you're ready. As well, if anyone else uses their headset, you should be able to communicate as long as you're in the OD itself (though this has worked off & on this year).

[steelerfan]

I don't do AIM or any of that. You guys do what's needed, I can keep up. If I'm needed, use PSN or cdj or JB can text me.


EDIT: PSN chat sounds good, Tommy.

Didn't even realize you could do a group chat on PSN.

[cdj]

Escobar and Marlowe remain in Week 5.

[steelerfan]

PSU 27, SDSU 7.

One game in, against a lousy opponent whose QB I sidelined for 11 weeks (dislocated elbow) early on, it's tough to be sure but I think the new sliders will be much more challenging. We maaaay even want 8-minute quarters down the line. I guess we'll see how the season plays out.

Good job, Chris!

[ryby6969]

Miami will be coming out with a completely different offense this season. Coach Ryby has said he has not played more than a few games ever in this offense and it will be a work in progress. It will be debut against #2 Florida next week. I have gotten bored doing the same old things on offense and want to try something new.

[gschwendt]

Despite throwing for 577 yards, Notre Dame falls to the Aggies of Texas A&M. QB Garrett Brown completed 36/55 passes for 577 with three touchdowns but importantly, also threw four interceptions. Not only did the Fighting Irish lose their opening game, they also lost their All-World receiver, Jason Smith for the entire season. Smith will use his redshirt year as a medical redshirt... oh wait, no he won't. Irish fans will have to hold out hope that he returns for his senior season where undoubtedly he'll be considered the best receiver in the country.

Burn.

[steelerfan]

Burn.

Yeah, rrrriiiight. Maybe now I only give up 650 passing yards to ND.

Hopefully, PITT injures a few of your "semi-pro" athletes this week, JB. :nod:

That's okay...I have cash.

[JBHuskers]

Will be getting my game in after work here....

[JBHuskers]

After an ugly defensive start, Bama stepped up the D in the 2nd half by pitching a shutout. Took out #19 Pitt in their house 55-26, had a fumble return for a TD and a 103-yd INT return for the final score of the game. Something that didn't happen much with Bama last year, was a close to 300-yd passing performance, and McCarron came close with some great passes. Next week. Stelerfan.

[steelerfan]

Next week. Stelerfan.

Who?

[JBHuskers]

Who?

Some chump. And I'm glad I misspelled your user name.

[Marlowe]

GG CLW...I need to work on my offense...six sacks and I still couldn't stop Guillory...damn that guy.

[gschwendt]

Just waiting on the slacker, cdj, to play his game.

[CLW]

GG CLW...I need to work on my offense...six sacks and I still couldn't stop Guillory...damn that guy.

TEAM|1|2|3|4|FINAL
:Texas:|0|7|0|14|21|
:Florida:|3|3|8|14|28

Texas' defensive line OWNED Florida's offensive line but in the end Guillory made enough plays with his legs and Mack Brown (only in EA land could a Mack Brown play for Florida) :nod: led the Gators to a hard fought 7 point victory. Brown finished with 17 carries for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns and had 2 monster 2nd half TD runs that proved to be the difference. Texas fought hard but after a failed onside kick time simply ran out on Texas.

GG CLW. I knew when there was 50 seconds left when I scored I would lose. 5 wide on this game is fucking ***. Nothing against you, but there are simply no coverages to really stop it and add in no huddle, well it is almost an automatic score. That one pick killed me.(I think my whole freaking family decided they needed to come in the room and have conversations for about a qtr and a half. :( You made the plays you needed to though.

[JBHuskers]

WHEW. What a game. Steelerfan tried a Tom Osborne at the end of the game, and thankfully I stopped the 2-point conversion to win 28-27. It was a tight game from the beginning with no lead greater than 7. Only seven points scored in the first half....the defenses forgot to come out of the tunnel in the 2nd half I think. GG bro! That was a tough one.

Florida survives The U with a touchdown in the final 5 seconds to hang on to a victory. The Gators nearly blew the game late in the 4th quarter when Guillory forced a throw leading to an interception which gave the Canes a short field and Coach Ryby capitalized with a touchdown to take the lead with under a minute to play. However, Guillory calmly and cooly led the Gators down the field and Mack Brown punched in a short touchdown run with 5 seconds remaining to make the final score 35-28.

Miami defeats Virginia but it is a costly victory. Miami loses their top two Freshmen QB's in the game. Starting QB Jake Martin will be gone for 4 weeks with a sprained elbow while Frank Adkins will miss 12 weeks with a dislocated elbow. Miami will change there offense out of necessity after losing both of their fast QB's.

TEAM|1|2|3|4|FINAL
:Tennessee:|7|14|0|0|21|
:Florida:| 3|42|21|7|73



Gainesville, FL



With a boat load of recruits in the house Coach CLW finally got to see the CPU and the new sliders in action. The Gators started off slowly but exploded for 42 points in the 2nd Quarter to remove any doubt in this one. The Vols all out blitzes got boring quickly as Guillory just torched them through the air. Mack Brown had another solid day carrying the ball as well.




Florida's defense was shaky early as Tennessee did its best Peyton Manning impression calling PA pass after PA pass which really fooled the Gators secondary. However, the 2nd Half was another story. Tennessee was forced to abandon the PA passing game and the Gators destroyed the Vols in the 2nd half in route to an easy victory.

[Marlowe]

I had a big 2nd qtr in my game as well. 42 points. Had to roll with the 2nd string after the half.

[ryby6969]

Miami goes on the road and knocks off #21 Auburn 36-28. The story of the game was turnovers as Miami committed 2 but forced 4 and that was the difference in the game. Storm Johnson ran the ball 20 times for 174 yards and 3 TD's and had a 74 yard scamper to set up a 1 yard plunge after Auburn had taken the lead 28-27.

Great Game CDJ. I was getting pissed that my LB's kept dropping freaking interceptions. I almost got you on that one crossing pattern you threw for a TD. I baited you and came back to pick it but just couldn't quite get it. Sorry about hurting Dyer. That kind of took away the big play threat in the running game for you and helped me win. GL the rest of the year.

[cdj]

That was a pretty fun game, in spite of the injury and loss. Again though, it was a user game plagued by turnovers (six total). I wish I could play in one where they weren't so many!

That 74-yard run was killer, but my star FR TE (Bonds) dropped a TD catch on third down on the ensuing drive before fumbling on the final drive. He had a really good game (six catches, 90 yards) up to that point.

Good luck the rest of the way!

[cdj]

JB needs to play nova (auto-pilot) and Escobar needs to recruit, then we will be ready to advance. I texted Escobar to see if he has or when he will recruit.

[JBHuskers]

Bama started off slow but then the running game completely took off. McCarron threw three interceptions and then Bama shifted to the run game and topped 300 yards on the ground and topped Kentucky 45-20.

[steelerfan]

Just finished beating Northwestern, 35-0. At the end of the game, my PS3 froze just before the highlights started uploading. If you need to sim me, no problem. I can try to get the game played again before JB and Escobar get their games in. Sigh.

The Gators cruised to an easy victory as Mack Brown simply ran all over the Kitties defense. However, Guillory has got to lean how to hold onto the ball when running the option. Coach CLW was not happy with the fumbles/turnovers as they will come back to bite Florida against a more talented team.

[novadolla]

Coach nova is back from serving ncaa suspension and is concerned about his teams poor performance but confident things will get turned around.

[bjrod9]

After getting embarrassed a few weeks ago,coach bjrod9 and his Oregon Ducks went back to basics and tried to find an identity. Stanford came to town and left on the bus unhappy campers.The Ducks came out on defense making great stops early in the 1st qtr but could only manage 3 points due to a piss poor kicking game.Stanford on the other hand took advantage of the ducks overly aggressive defense and Qb J.Nunes connected on a 41 yard strike to Wr J. Roberts for a 7-3 1st qtr lead.The second qtr was a one sided affair as my ducks capitalized on turnovers and made great stops and errupted for 23 points took take a 26-7 halftime lead.We obviosly got really comfortable and came out asleep in the second half as the cardinals began to pound us and make a strong comeback.No scoring in the 3rd qtr,but Stanford took advantage of our agressive play calling on offense and came out strong in the 4th scoring two tds to come as close as 26-20,until oregon Rb S.Pope ran in 21 yards to seal the deal. Ducks escape with a 33-20 victory. GG CPU.

Ole Miss' offense was simply no match for the Gators defense who put up 16 points of their own as Florida cruised to another victory. Ole Miss' only score of the game came on Florida's first play from scrimmage when Mack Brown coughed up the ball and a d-lineman ran it back to the house. :fp:

I'm aiming to advance the OD late Monday night since we have all CPU games this week in the OD.

[gschwendt]

I play likely tonight after I play ryby in Powerhouse.

FYI - the CPU doesn't feel any better/tougher than previous seasons. In fact it feels easier. However, that could be in large part due to my new playbook which allows for a more balanced attack.

Try the sliders I posted in the slider discussion thread. Maybe before next season we can get concrete feedback (by more than just me and Marlowe) to give cdj more help in getting them set. They're not where I'd have them now, but cdj can only roll with the feedback he gets. Marlowe's set is pretty close to mine, but I think his tackling is too low. Look in the OD at User HB stats and you will see a marked decline in yards-per-carry this year, which is a step in the right direction.

[gschwendt]

Done. Only Escobar remains.

Baton Rouge, LA

The Gators continued their impressive run in Death Valley as the Florida defense dominated the LSU offense the entire ball game. The LSU front 7 was impressive but in the end the Tigers' secondary simply could not keep up with the speed and route running capabilities of the receivers and tight ends of Florida.

[novadolla]

South Carolina's RB Latimore (beast) came to play forcig the Kentucky wildcats into passing mode for almost the entire game. Lucky Latimore lost a fumble on a kick off return which proved to be the difference in KU's victory.

I have some relatives in town so I'll try to advance sometime this weekend for those remaining. Hopefully from there we can get back to the advance twice a week schedule.

[gschwendt]

Long story short... I can't play online because I got a new console and it doesn't have the EA Online Pass available and the PS Store is down so I can't re-download. Feel free to advance without me.

Long story long... My old console was failing so I got a new console while the PSN was down. I went through the process of doing the data transfer between consoles and either I deleted the Online Pass save file or it didn't transfer with the data transfer but either way, the end result is that my new console doesn't have the Online Pass. With the PS Store being down, I can't re-download my online pass and obviously can't re-purchase which means that I'm out of commission until the Store comes back up (hopefully the May 31 date is accurate). I'll try to keep up with recruiting via Dynasty Wire but feel free to put me on Auto Pilot and continue advancing without me.

[CLW]

Cue Price Is Right Failure Music....

[gschwendt]

Before we advance though... let me try to see if I can wrestle with my old console long enough to allow me to get on the game and then see if it still has the Online Pass still accessible. If it does, then I'll just keep playing my games on that console but if it doesn't, then obviously continue without me. It will be tonight before I'll be able to try it though.

For now it looks like I won't be able to participate until the PS Store comes back up. My normal tricks to get my old console working didn't work.

I've sent off an email to EA to see if they can actually disable the requirement for Online Pass but obviously that's a bit of a pipe dream so we'll see.

Unless there are objections, the plan is to get through this season and then we will stop until NCAA 12 comes out. With some users in title contention, it's only fair to them to finish the season out and see who wins it all.
