Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[JeffHCross]

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.

Ours are about equal

Check my middle of the season...4 user games in a row.

I had it pretty tough last year....I believe week 9-14....I had all 5 user games....along with a rivalry game vs Ole Miss

If only I had control over the conference games.

As long as we're only "SLOW" game speed, Shotgun HB Counter plays may not work, depending on your playbook.

who ever is in charge of QA at EA Sports needs to be guillotined

Must be the same glitch as the counter on slow. The game must be reading their knee touching the ground and stopping the play.

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

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.

As I told you this afternoon Jeff, hate to see you go man. Hopefully you can get everything sorted out quick so you can come back soon.

That sucked man. Hope u get it worked out

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.

[JeffHCross]

I'll be sure to let you know how things progress, OB.

How in the world does a glitch like that even happen? That's one of the strangest NCAA glitches I've ever heard of in all my years.

My current theory is that the lower height causes the players to register as down when they make their cut on the counter. If you watch the SG counter plays, the knee dips ridiculously close to the ground, even with taller players.

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.

[Papa LoneStar]

That sounds good....haven't signed on into AIM in a good minute.

Or a GroupMe!

Could also to a Google Hangout, think you can have up to 9 people or something like that
