Thanks Prime it was a blast.
Also I have sent all members without the game information about getting it for Saturday. I will know more in about an hour and a half if this guy is getting his shipment and the costs associated with it. My hope is that I give him names of everyone so that you guys can contact him personally and order directly from him so I don't have to be the middle man for 8 to 10 guys. Once I have everyone here covered, I'll post a message on the general board for anyone else that wants in on the action.
Son of a gun, that store did not get confirmation that their order shipped so it appears a Saturday arrival is almost certainly out of the question. Sorry fellas, I tried and will keep my eyes and ears open for all.

last one ever
Just so everyone knows....
I am in a transition between two jobs right now. Starting yesterday I have started what will be my new fulltime position on the weekends while I serve out my two weeks at my old job. The great thing about the new job is that it's 100% remote work from home and I only work 3.5 days a week with no cut in pay...the bad part is that I will be working overnight.
From now until July 22nd I am working my old job during the week (7am - 4pm) and my new job on the weekends over night. Starting on the 25th I will be working half the night on Monday and all night Tuesday - Thursday.
If I am slow to respond during this two week transition please be kind.
I won't be kind.;)Quote:

Along those lines, for those of you that have played me when using iowa state, any feedback/comments on my offensive style?
I wish I could but we were disco'd in the first half. :( I am just happy defenses have the ability to actually matter this year.
no comment :smh:Quote:

I also realized that my QB's are going to be a very big problem at Marshall. 68 ovr as my best QB is just pitiful to say the least. I really have to start playing more games with Marshall to try and find something usable for offense.
Defensively I'm pretty good, gotta tone back on my pressure at times though especially when playing G, :D. You just abused my over aggressive style that first game.
Yeah your Cyclones are cheesy as all get out and your defense cheats :D....joking.Quote:

That's half habit, and half an attempt to get you to show me your first step (forward or backward)... that or just to break free from the locked zoom-out when it occurs.Quote:

Does anyone have tips recruiting in dynasty. I just recruit then skip and sim for a couple weeks with autosave turned off and write down most and very high and high catorgories then go back 2 first weeks and key on their likes.
This is what happens when a site gets big. The kids finally come out to play.Quote:

8 minutes would be nice i think
I posted this in the main area of the boards but since quite a few of Powerhouse are experiencing it, I'll post it here as well...
If you have a relatively reliable connection but starting this year you've noticed more disconnects than normal, here's a tip...
Pause the game before you select your opening kickoff play.
Simple as that. It fixed a lot of woes last year and since it at least appears to be happening to more people this year so it's certainly worth a try for those of you experiencing problems.
I just finished a game with Oneback where our first attempt was disconnected fairly early so on the second attempt, I paused the game prior to the opening kickoff (after the coin toss) and we were able to finish the game without any problems.
:up:
His lips are moving but I can't hear anything ;)
jk thanks jeff, btw you really thinking of playing eve again? I think I can get you like 2 weeks free for returning accounts or something, i am playing with seandigs from utopia we are having a good time.
Man....I guess the aura of 12 made me forget. I've been doing it since the 2011 Rose Bowl....need to get back in the habit.
Well I can confirm that pausing before the kickoff DOES NOT fix the issue. I've tried to play twice today and have been disconntected both times in the first quarter.
Yeah, I saw that hit up my e-mail this week. Unfortunately, my only current working computer is nowhere near capable of playing EVE. One of the things I might do with my somewhat-extra free time (since I'm barely playing NCAA at this point) is to finally fix my computer. If I do, then you can expect to see me in EVE (trade one time sink for another).Quote:

passed, took it in 3 hours with a 6 hour limit lol
So for the first time since the Wednesday after release I have been able to complete a game online while on wireless...not sure if this means things are getting fixed or not though.
Well, with any internet connectivity, you're opening pandora's box if you play on wireless. Just another variable to cause havoc.Quote:
Originally Posted by Oneback

I'll have to play more games to see
I agree but previous to today I have only been able to complete 4 games online since release. 3 of those 4 were on wired connections.Quote:

Not sure if we're honoring them manually or not but this right now, injuries don't carry over properly in ODs. If he shows injured now then I bet next week he'll be back.Quote:
