Hey, the 360 dynasty has one. So why not us?

Talk about the dynasty here.

what do you think if cdj moved the schedule around so we can play each other more right now it seems kinda boring with playing only one or two guys per conference

steelerfan
07-22-2010, 04:18 PM
I think we should play no less than 2 user games but no more than 3. I also think all FCS games should be changed.

Kingpin32

I'll have to schedule 2 games since I'm using Boise State.

Please be cognizant of mid and late season home dates too. To keep the playing field as level as possible where recruiting visits are concerned.

I already have enough user-user games. :) And no FCS teams, shouldn't have to touch Ohio State's schedule.

Can do. I will actually probably do this tomorrow or Saturday once Buckeye gets signed up to make it easier for me when going through.

Alright, ready to go and play!

The #10 OLB and the #6 WR commit to Ohio State to kick us off.

Could all of us go after more of the same recruits? :D :smh: I'm honestly thinking of blowing up my Recruit Board and starting over!

Two recruits already commited before a single game. :)

Iron Dragon
07-23-2010, 09:02 PM
Ohio State 48, Marshall 0

Chimdi Chekwa got the 2010 season underway with a pick-six in the opening 70 seconds of action. Despite this being Ohio State's only score of the 1st quarter, the Buckeyes turned on the heat once halftime neared and cruised to an easy win.

Pryor 10/12 pass 153 yards 2 TD 37 rush yards
Saine 12 car 108 yards TD
Berry 6 car 41 yards TD
Herron 6 car 56 yards TD
Sanzenbacher 2 rec 52 yards TD
Posey no catches (!!), 10.2 yards per punt return
Larimore Sack
Chewka INT, Def TD
Nic DiLillo (TE) FF, FR on kickoff

Probably will repost on dynasty wire.

Alabama 73, San Jose State 14

Created Dynasty Wire story ---> HERE (http://www.easports.com/dynasty?_user_state=system#module=moduleStoryView&story=22508894951279944975577&dynid=70601&sku=661A0001&sid=0&wknum=0)

The frozen QB animation by SJSU resulted in a 27 yard gain to start the game LOL. SJSU would take the momentum to the game-opening score, but 'Bama would put up 52 unanswered. 'Bama would have 653 total yards, 397 on the ground. You'd guess the bulk of the rushing came from Ingram, but no. In just 1 1/4 quarters, backup RB Trent Richardson would put up 217 yards on 10 carries, with 4 TDs. Ingram finished with 180 and 3 TDs. With about 2:30 left, I put in the 2nd team offense and defense, and I think SJSU put in their waterboys with Richardson gaining 21.7 per carry.

Had two great highlights in this one:

WR Julio Jones tips pass to himself on this 75-yard TD:

TE Preston Dial puts on a sick spin move for the score:

I officially hate going against no huddle teams. It said FAU was a pro style but they threw the ball like 80% of the time and were in no huddle the whole game. Hopefully my defense can get back on track against ID next week.

Kingpin32
07-25-2010, 02:04 PM
JCoop, I gotta work today from 5-10 central time tonight, so if we can get the game in tonight that would be cool, otherwise I'm free in the afternoons usually after 2.

- UCLA needs to recruit
- Georgia (Jcoop9) vs. Boise State (Kingpin32)

Any ETA on either?

cdj
07-26-2010, 07:18 PM
I sent out a PM to Jcoop and Buckeye to see where they stand. Buckeye travels during the week IIRC, so I was hoping he'd be able to get that done before he left, but fortunately he can now do it on the web.

If we don't hear from Jcoop in the next day or two, we'll bring up one of the Group 2 guys.

Kingpin - If we don't hear from Jcoop by this evening, I will set his team to CPU control - can you get your game in against them tonight or in the morning? I will then advance it.

The other option is to bring up CLW from Group 2 and if he wants Georgia, you can play him. I don't know if he wants UGA though.

Yeah I can try to get it in before I go to work, or when I get off, but I should have it done if you put them on CPU.

steelerfan
07-27-2010, 03:33 PM
cdj, any word on Buckeye? Is UCLA available too?

I know it would screw up scheduling, but I for one would not be against a new (or 2 new) guy(s) coming in and getting their pick of teams. It might be good to limit them to the conferences that already have users in them. Anything to get this moving....

cdj
07-27-2010, 04:59 PM
No word from Buckeye. He only had recruiting this week, so he could catch up next week. Right now, I just want the UGA spot active since it has a user game this week.

JBHuskers

If we've heard absolutely zip, make it a CPU game for Kingpin for the sake of more people losing interest for one person forgetting about the league.

I did 2 with no pic in the preseason and another with no pic in week one. I think there is a limit on the length. The 2 I did preseason were intended to be one story but it couldn't be viewed on the console. So, I broke it up into 2 parts and it worked. You may try that. Obviously, I submitted them on the PC (I think you can only add comments to stories on the console).

The same error I was getting earlier today. I wonder if it has to deal with the fact that my EA account on my console and my EASW e-mail addresses are different?

I can log in to EASW and on the PS3 my account logs in normally. My EA e-mail addy on the console is different from my EASW e-mail. I wonder if that is causing the problem and if I should change my EASW account info to mirror my console ID.

There was 1 second left in the 1st half and I was 70 yards out and did a fake field goal that I scored with to take a 24-21 lead into the half. I apologize to Kingpin and the League for doing that,I wasnt thinking at the time and made a dumb decision. If CDJ wants me to Ill retire from this OD. Again I apologize for the fake field goal.

If we time this right, we could have week 3 ready to advance by Friday. Perhaps Buckeye could get his game in on Friday and then play his week 4 game before the weekend is up. If that happened we could, conceivably, have week 5 waiting on him next Friday.

I'm not trying to push anyone, and I certainly understand Buckeye's schedule, so don't take this the wrong way at all. I just know I'm excited and I'd love to see things speed up a tad.

Kingpin & shorty are going to replay their game, but we are having issues getting the previous result thrown out. The dev team has heard of this issue, but the other person who mentioned it to them said it eventually worked itself out. I have been unable to get the game thrown out in the last 24 hours and trying several times. I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I hear anything and I will try again in the morning.

Also, guys, I am trying to do the recruiting online but sometimes when I'm in the middle of a call and we're moving onto the next topic, the site throws up an error message and ends the call. All my allocated minutes are used, but I can't call him again to discuss the remaining topics. Is this a known glitch?

No need to apologize, brother. Your situation is unique and understandable. We all knew this was a "one game per week OD" when we signed up. I just noticed that more than half of us had played by Monday or so and thought I'd throw this out there in case it was workable.

CLW
08-13-2010, 10:08 AM
One of the biggest problems with ODs is the fact that everyone has a different skill level and different strengths/weaknesses in their game. I've also always been a fan of playing an entire season with a set of sliders before making a snap judgment and adjusting them. When the season is completed we can take a look at everyone's season stats and the stats of the OD as a whole to get a better understanding of where we may need to make adjustments and how big of an adjustment.

Advancing the new week right now! I will be out of town from Thursday afternoon through Sunday evening, so the week will be advanced Sunday evening.


It's not a requirement, but I would ask everyone to try and use Dynasty Wire & Story Builder. You don't need to write a short novel, but maybe manage your highlights in post-game and a couple sentences. The goal is just to get some more activity within Dynasty Wire in our OD!

steelerfan
08-24-2010, 04:42 PM
For those frustrated by Story Builder, here is a little advice. I've used it quite a bit.

First, I'd recommend typing anything up outside of Story Builder and Copying and Pasting it in. Personally, I type my articles on my BlackBerry as an email (sadly, this is because I type faster on my phone than a PC now, lol) and email it to myself. Then, when I'm ready to put it into Story Builder, I retrieve it on the PC and Copy and Paste. This will save you from any possibility of losing your article if the site fails to upload it. Also, for whatever reason, Story Builder only uploads stories for me if I'm using IE 7. Firefox fails every time. I hope this helps, I personally, would love to see more activity on DW.

Well, I can testify that the reflow fix works. I woke up this morning with some allergy issues which were, no doubt, caused by the massive amount of dust I cleaned from my system. If my system craps out again, I will do the reflow again (and probably a reflux to be safe) and promptly surrender it to GameStop for $150. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I did a good enough job to keep it going for a long time. The good news is that I now know that I can get my system going again if it YLODs, even if it's only long enough to get all my data.

1 game after the 3rd patch I survived against LSU in Double OT.

I was VERY rustly not playing in over a week so not sure if it was me or the patch has changed that many things. From the one game the only "problems" I saw was (1) CPU running game could be bumped up slightly; (2) Pass coverage both CPU and Man needs to be much better (3) Hum front 4 pass rush is non existent and CPU Pass rush is overly effective particularly if they blitz.

Combine that with all these people writing online that reflow wasn't that easy, and I just wasn't confident.

I'm gonna have to drop out of this one for now, at least. I'm in four other ODs and five is too much to juggle. I've enjoyed it and if your willing, I could join back in if time reopens.

09-22-2010, 11:11 PM
Virtual PSU fans cheer as the path to the Rose Bowl has just gotten a bit easier.

Hate to see you drop out, ID. I've been looking forward to the PSU/OSU game since day 1. But, I understand and appreciate your honesty.

Not to pile on, but I see situations like this as the biggest detractor to ODs. Prior to this year, I was only in one and it was a 2 man OD with a buddy from across town. By time NHL 10 dropped, we were in season 5 or 6.

This year, I wanted to join this one. I knew it would be slow-moving, but I never thought it'd be this slow. When I realized it would be (and I understand we had a long delay with getting a game thrown out), I joined another. I joined it because it was supposed to advance every 3 days. It hasn't, but it's been moving at a better pace than this one.

I guess what I'm getting at is that alot of guys join several to ensure that they always have something to do. It's the easy answer to a slow-moving OD...join another one. What happens after that is that you get bogged down and slow down the one you thought was slow to begin with. It's a chicken/egg scenario. Which came first? Slow ODs or guys slowing them down because their plate is too full?

The thing that makes a dynasty great is playing several seasons. If you only get a season or 2 in, what's the point? All that recruiting becomes meaningless. Again, I'm not calling anyone out. I think the whole OD experience would be much better if guys would stick to one and keep it moving.

Remember how excited everyone was about DW when it was announced? Well, no one uses it. I know I quit just because it seems pointless to put effort into it when virtually no one else does. Who has time when you're in 2 or 5 or 7 ODs? It's too bad, I think it's an incredible feature and I was probably the least excited when it was announced.

I guess all this rambling/bellyaching has made me realize that the right OD for me is one in which everyone is committed to keeping up a good pace and everyone uses DW to post highlights and stories. The problem is, that OD probably doesn't exist. More and more, I'm seeing that next year I should just stay offline.

Sorry to bitch, it's been on my mind for a long time and it's time to let it out. Again, I'm not attacking anyone and the likely culprit in my disappointment is my own ideals.

Well, Linebacker U loses out on the #1 MLB, JD Hughes, to Miami after a couple of weeks of Soft Committing back and forth.

Screw you, The U!! :mad::mad:

;)

Yeah, we have the number 1 OLB and MLB this year at the new linebacker U. I also got a [espnu150] [4star] OLB John Cleveland. I was really excited when I logged on and Hughes had hard committed.

Just finished my game vs Northwestern. They had 6 turnovers and I had 4 return scores - 2 fumbles, an interception and a 109 yard missed FG!

I was up 28-10 with 7 seconds till the half and they lined up for a 59 yard FG try. It was juuust short and Chaz Powell caught it 9 yards deep. Two sweeet spin moves later, he was off to the races. Damn the replay getting cur off!!

Anyway, I'd only returned 1 or 2 FGs ever and never for a score. Much less 109 freaking yards!

PSU wins, 55-10.

LOL that's a good thing. I have been slacking lately on video game playing especially NCAA. I had the mother-in-law in town for a week and the wife is currently on a "less busy" (translation approx 50 hr per week) work schedule right now.

Escobar I see it says you are living in Houston. My wife and I will be relocating there next summer. She just found out she matched for a fellowship at MD Anderson in gyn onc. Any tips as to areas to live (needs to be within 20 mins of the hospital apparently per her contract) and restaurants?

Not that you want my opinion :P but I'll give it anyway. First, MD Anderson has a great reputation. Cancer patients come from all over the country to be treated there. I spent alot of time there in my former profession and dealt with patient families and they all gave huge unsolicited compliments to the hospital even when things didn't turn out the way they hoped (which is when I saw them). Secondly, I've always lived in the suburbs of Houston, but in my experience, the nicest areas to live that are within 20 minutes of MD Anderson and the Texas Medical Center are going to be just to the west. Though there are some decent apartments (if that's what you're looking for) about 5 minutes away near Reliant Stadium. At least that's what comes to mind. Last, there are no shortage of restaurants in the area. It just depends what suits your palette.

Last, there are no shortage of restaurants in the area. It just depends what suits your palette.

LOL I didn't even notice you were from Houston too.

Yeah we are very excited about MD Andeson/Houston. My wife is finishing up her OBGYN residency at Brown and wanted badly to do a fellowship in Gyn Onc. She interviewed at like 25 different programs all around the country. In gyn onc, MD Anderson is either the #1 or #2 program in the entire country (depending on who you ask). Combine that with the fact that we both wanted to get back to either the south or midwest (I'm originally from KY and my wife is originally from Southern Illinois) and it was a no brainer to rank them 1st and thankfully she matched at MD Anderson.

We haven't really decided on renting/buying. Housing prices are WAY BETTER in Houston than they are up here in New England. We have money saved up but the fellowship is only a 4 year program so we have some reservations about buying and then possibly having to sell in 4 years. Even if we were to stay in Houston at the end of the fellowship I'm not sure we would want to live in/near the city. I've always been more of a suburbs guy myself and just from reading it sounds like the Sugarland area would be a really nice place to live. However, we cannot rent buy that far out due to her contract. So unless we just find some "steal" we will most likely rent.

As far as food goes, we really enjoy just about anythign (other than sushi). I'm a big fan of steak houses and my wife is big on tex mex (which again you cannot get up in New England). We also enjoy Italian and Seafood.

Escobar
10-22-2010, 01:08 PM
Yeah, Sugarland is a nice place to live. But since it's too far, you can try to rent a place in West University, which is actually it's own city so it won't show up under Houston apts. It's an area around Rice University. You might also want to try Bellaire. Or towards the Galleria area.
