PH'15: Preseason, 2013

[JeffHCross]

We made it!

We are now in the Pre-Season. Please take the time over the next 24-48 hours to check your requested roster edits, Coach Skills, things like that. Once we advance to Week 1 we are significantly less likely to restart than if you find it now :D

When joining the dynasty, if prompted to create-a-coach Select No. Creating a coach will start you at Level 1.
Everyone should have a 5 year contract and be in Year 1 of that contract.

Invites have gone out to everyone. Password is TGT.

!!! ATTENTION !!!
Recruiting Restriction
Recruiting is restricted to 3-star (or lower) players.
!!! ATTENTION !!!

------------------

Post your schedule requests here! Everyone will get one non-conference user game, and should have 9 conference games, so that will give you two CPU non-conference games to schedule. 1 "gimme" game is fine.

My schedule:
Week 1 - FCS West (gimme)
Week 3 - @ #19 Missouri
Weeks 4, 8, 13 - Open to User game

BYU

Week 1 - Gimme against a non FCS school
Week 3 - @ Utah (rival)
Week 4 or whenever Bye doesn't come - Home and Home with Snoop. @ SMU first

[JBHuskers]

Gimme a gimme against Georgia State.

[JBHuskers]

Also I won't be on tonight, going to be busy with Rory PGA on Friday, so probably will get on Saturday for this.

[JeffHCross]

Given JB's schedule and the fact that I don't have a day off this week, I'll set a deadline for Monday morning, but we'll advance earlier if everyone's ready.

Cincy

Week 1 - Miami (OH) (Battle for the Victory Bell)
Week 3 - Louisville (Keg of Nails) or Pittsburg (River City Rivalry)

[psusnoop]

Gimmie game - Ohio State.....oops sorry I meant Ohio :)
North Carolina
Then a home and home against Skip :) and the Cougars

[Escobar]

Week 1 - Texas State
A late week - Vanderbilt

You can put the user game inbetween those two.

[JeffHCross]

So, I feel like an ass for forgetting this, but I meant to implement recruiting restrictions to limit recruiting to 3-star players or lower. Since I forgot this, and people have already spent some scouting points, I will be restarting the dynasty in the morning.

[TheAgency]

How will the progression work as to how or when we can recruit players above 3 stars if at all?

Damn I just spent over 2 hours setting depth chart, all the formation subs and editing equipment for the team

..and only 20 minutes was spent on actual recruiting. Something told me watch we have to restart due to all this..

[JeffHCross]

How will the progression work as to how or when we can recruit players above 3 stars if at all?For the DPD we were restricted to 3-stars for the first two seasons, then 4-stars after that. I plan to follow that.

Is anyone else having problems with the Dynasty website? I keep trying to sign in but it's saying bad credentials. I can sign-in fine on easports.com... I even reset my origin password to be sure.

I tried earlier today and had same issue. I know my password is correct but it still kept saying bad credentials

[TheAgency]

Are we set on the sliders we are going to use?

[psusnoop]

Will do my preseason tomorrow, Jeff I'll text you if I'm last up. Should be before the evening hours.

[JeffHCross]

Are we set on the sliders we are going to use?I thought I mentioned it, but perhaps not, but we'll be going with the OS Community Sliders that can be found here (http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-football-sliders/641608-ncaa-14-os-community-playmakers-split-sliders.html). We're using the primary set under the 2015 tab (comes up by default).

Just checked them out. They look great and seem to be pretty challenging. Can't wait to check them out on the field.

Just checked them out. They look great and seem to be pretty challenging. Can't wait to check them out on the field.They're definitely different from what we've been using. Now that I've read about how much influence the penalty sliders have on things, some of the stupid things we've seen over the years makes a little more sense.

[JeffHCross]

24 hr ish deadline reminder! I see a couple teams that never posted any schedule requests....

[gschwendt]

I still can't get on the website. I'll try to hop on tonight and do my recruiting, etc. from the console.

[TheAgency]

Is that the same QB accuracy we used for the death penalty?

[gschwendt]

Arkansas State ready to advance.

[JeffHCross]

I still can't get on the website. I'll try to hop on tonight and do my recruiting, etc. from the console.Same here, G. The only thing I can do from the website is check the Teams tab. Nothing else is working.


Is that the same QB accuracy we used for the death penalty?It is. It doesn't seem to play exactly the same though.

[JeffHCross]

24 hr ish deadline reminder! I see a couple teams that never posted any schedule requests....We'll be advancing sometime in the morning. Last call for schedule requests!

It is. It doesn't seem to play exactly the same though.

Maaaaaaan I had the hardest time with the Arab accuracy. My first few drives were almost automatic punts.

[JeffHCross]

Maaaaaaan I had the hardest time with the QB accuracy. My first few drives were almost automatic punts.We all struggled with it. However these sliders seem to make the CPU struggle with it too,which means you might see some scoreless first quarters.

[JeffHCross]

By virtue of a coin toss (randomized list), Papa gets no user game this season, since we have an odd number.

For some reason not all conferences had the same number of conference games. I'll have to look at that for next season, because I definitely thought we would. I tried to balance it out by giving the teams with less conference games a conference-level opponent.


Week 1 - Texas State
A late week - Vanderbilt

You can put the user game inbetween those two.You didn't have any available weeks that Vanderbilt could play. I gave you Virginia instead, since they're similarly rated (wasn't sure why you picked Vanderbilt so I just went for similar rating).

Week 1 ECU
Week 5ish usf
Schedule user game with whatever works bestFYI, the game tried to automatically schedule a Week 14 game against USF. It might try to do that going forward. I moved it to Week 4 though.

[Escobar]

I requested that game against Vanderbilt, because that's who UH plays in real life this season lol. After I posted that I was going to put Rice as a second option but forgot. Kinda glad I didn't, because I crushed them in my test game.
