If anyone wants or plans to build their team, I've built mine and would love to see some on-the-field action against a user. So far, it feels like this is already going to be a special team and I can't wait to see what they look like in a few years.

I'm done.
Where is the video Kia? I want to watch myself. :D
Soooooooo....Who oversigned, and had to shatter the dreams of their lowest rated recruits? <raises hand> :D
Vid should be up tonight.
Scouting is like crack.
I'm all done filling my needs, then Im like "ooohh...I want this guy too."
Agreed... I even went so far as to tote along a 6'7 1-star QB for the majority of the season just because I thought he looked interesting. In the end, I never even scouted him but held onto him with the idea that I might eventually give him a look.
Looks like recruiting to fit with play style is the real deal.
I notice that this season, I have attracted a lot of hybrid LB/DE prospects.
OLBs with good passrush move ratings, but can also play in space.
In NCAA 12, I couldnt find these kind of players worth a damn. I had to convert athletic DE's.
Yeah, I had to cut multiple guys and some of them were really tough. Had to cut some seniors because of the young guys.
Guilty, I blame my freshman DT deciding starting wasnt' good enough and going to UConn instead. I ended up signing four 2-star DL just to see if one of them would be a super DT. Ended up inadvertently getting another pipeline state out of it though :D
Side note, the game telling you "Florida: 31" on the Player Cut screen is awesome. Saved me from costing myself two pipeline states.
Geez Commish! Thanks for the schedule! Why not just put a NFL team as my week 4 opponent, after I get through this nice, 3 game ringer. :)
Video Please. Thank you. :P
Check my middle of the season...4 user games in a row.

I noticed that KIA ran a Counter in his game against Bama, so that reminded me to follow up on this. While the "Slow" game speed is a contributing factor, the playbook is not the culprit, as was previously thought. Instead, it was the rosters of those teams (who happened to have different playbooks as a coincidence).
"In short: 5'8 or shorter: BAD. 5'9 or taller: GOOD. (Note that when I edited a player that was being blown dead to 5'9, he suddenly worked, and a player that had been working did not at 5'7).
These results were repeatable across playbook styles, including Multiple and Air Raid."
Vomiting as I review the ND-Texas game tape :sick:
So, this isn't exactly how I envisioned this going down ... but I'm retiring from the OD, effective tonight.
The short summary is that I'm in the middle of moving out of my apt, and the OD simply takes up too much time that I can't afford to spend while I move out. Plus, after I move, there's currently no guarantee that I'll be in a place with stable Internet (or my TV, for that matter). So I might be forced to retire next week anyway. While I considered going autopilot, it's not fair for me to hold onto a spot that someone else could fill and get to play with all of you.
If there's an open spot once my situation stabilizes, I'll be back in a heartbeat.
I'm not going to be actively looking to replace Jeff at this point as I want to slow play it and see if he'll make his way back into the fold. That being said, if y'all know of anyone that would fit start planting the seed.
I'll be sure to let you know how things progress, OB.
I was talking to snoop last week and and I think it would be cool to have a Powerhouse AIM chat or something along those lines for like recruiting and just BS'ing.
That sounds good....haven't signed on into AIM in a good minute.
Could also to a Google Hangout, think you can have up to 9 people or something like that
