Schedules

[Oneback]

Please get your match-ups done - since we're staying with default conferences take a look at your schedule and make sure you're able to fit in 3 user games, work out who you're going to be playing here.

[Oneback]

I'd like to get a game in against Oklahoma (JB) to renew the rivalry - I've got week 2 or 4 available.

[psusnoop]

I've got an opening against FCS in week 3, I'd take anyone but first choice is USC for a home and home series.

[texacotea]

Got week 4 open and 10 and 12 open to anyone

[JBHuskers]

Okay, I'll look quick for which week, but I'll play you, and then that will give me 3 user games with Papa and Snoop in the conference.

[JBHuskers]

According to this - http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/112012aaa.html

My week 4 is open. You can take out Notre Dame in week 5 maybe it keep me at 3 user games.

[razorback44]

Assuming the schedules are the same as in real life, Michigan St should be good to go with Nebraska, Michigan and Notre Dame already on the schedule.

[psuexv]

Looks like I don't get Washington this year, just ND. I'll run the Oklahoma gauntlet if Snoop and JB are up for it. I know Snoop already said yes. I wouldn't mind a shot at Papa and the Longhorns too.

I should be good with that. I think I can schedule games weeks 1-5 and week 7 as the rest are conference games.

[JBHuskers]

Nah I like to just have the minimum pieces of flair. I might have four anyways. ND is on the regular schedule.

[ryby6969]

OB, if you want a game one of you free weeks I am down and would need just 1 more but would have no problem with more if it gets people to their 3 games.

[Escobar]

I'm set with Mich St, Nebraska, and the hated ND.

[Papa LoneStar]

Eazy E....I have weeks 1, 2, 3, 8, and 13 available....holla at a young G

Ill start at your place since your replacing my game @ucf. Need one more for later in the year

[Papa LoneStar]

Don't forget the ability to do neutral site games....should be pretty fun

[psuexv]

Ahhhh yeah, let's do a neutral site game. 1,2,3 I think I'm open

[Papa LoneStar]

:Texas:

Week 1 - Ohio State @ Cowboys Stadium
Week 2 - Arkansas (Home)
Week 3 - USC/PsuExv (Soldier Field)

[gschwendt]

Looks like I don't have any User games on the default schedule. I'm open to anyone that wants to add me.

G if you can't find anyone to take you up then drop USC and add Washington for me Oneback on a home and home. I'd like the home game since I'd be dropping FCS to add Washington.

Be home tomorrow night and looki g forward to a game!!!

[ryby6969]

I could use a game also if you have one available in the weeks I do so Snoop can play E. I need 1 more if I play OB and Tex.

[gschwendt]

Mine would have to be Weeks 1-4 or Week 9. I'd be happy to play either or both of you.

Tex, you want to tussle in the first season?

[psuexv]

Out of curiosity, can you see your schedules this year or are you guys just guessing? I really hated that got removed.

Also, Eric, instantly knew the scene :D

We haven't started the OD yet... we're just basing them off of the real life schedules.

[psusnoop]

When r we kicking this off?

[Oneback]

Sunday, per Tex "I will be gone the 7/12-7/20 "

Good deal, gives me time to play some games here and get warmed up.

[Papa LoneStar]

I'm not sure if that is available. In an offline dynasty....it had Cowboys Stadium, Cotton Bowl, Soldier Field, Jacksonville (UF/UGA), and everybody's home stadium....I know I'm missing some, but I didn't see the ability to set bowl games as neutral sites.

What about Soldier?

[Papa LoneStar]

What about Soldier?

That will work....let me edit

[Papa LoneStar]

I'm tripping....I gotta check if A&M is available in week 1 for the Cowboy classic.

[JeffHCross]

[Escobar]

There is Met Life stadium where the Giants/Jets play. I played Syracuse vs. Penn State there week 1 of the offline dynasty I just started. It was already on the schedule.

[texacotea]

When is target start date? Sunday

[psusnoop]

I'm not sure exactly. I'm ready to play hahaha

[Oneback]

It'll probably be tomorrow morning before I can set everything up, I'm finishing up entering plays for NCAA 14 in the playbooks site, should be finished tonight *crosses fingers*.

[ryby6969]

OS just released their latest roster update today. It is under Pudgee691.

I think those rosters with the updated ratings sliders will give us the best gameplay yet.

[psusnoop]

I will grab them tonight, thanks.

[gschwendt]

Only problem is depending on whether we use created coaches or existing coaches. The coaches in Escobar's file are much higher rated... for example, Sarkisian is around level 31 or so whereas on the default roster, he's level 7. I didn't look at any others but I imagine Saban is the highest level (54) where as in the default he's more like 32.

[Oneback]

I did notice in all the test dynasties everyone was using created coaches, is this the way we want to go?

That's what we did last year correct? I vote new coaches

[ryby6969]

Yeah, it is also going to depend on what speed progression we want to use also. I say we should probably start at around level 5 depending on what level we choose.

[gschwendt]

I'd say we start at level 3-5 and use Normal Progression. Unless we get to 10 seasons, I think Normal is about right.

Here's some testing that a member did and the results he got...

[Escobar]

I think we should create coaches. I'm going with slow right now in my OD, but that's because we usually get 7-8 seasons in before the next game. I'm cool with starting at the default level. If you change the coaches' starting level it also changes all the CPU coaches' starting levels.

If you create a coach and start at the default you start at level 1. I think that is what G was getting at in that we would be WAY behind the cpu coaches.
