yup, and i like that they are posting data to backup their fixes to dynasty....i still wish they would fix zone d.

[Papa LoneStar]

Thank goodness for in-season progression....I wish it happened last season as I'm sure Chris Whaley would have made a big jump after his performance last season.

I actually don't like the info. I mean, evidence is always good ... but I feel like they're forcing it. The info doesn't seem as obvious as they want it to be, so they're trying to do a square peg round hole thing.

I am very glad in-season progression is back though. Sorely missed that last year. That might be the only chance we have for our current freshmen to stay on the roster after the changes to recruits.

Tajh Boyd would have increased alot last year if we had in-season progression, but hopefully he will this year.

I've got a freshman runningback that will be on the roster as long as he wants to be.

[JeffHCross]

Well, I guess I'm mainly thinking of the 3-stars. The 4s and 5s came in pretty well.

[JeffHCross]

Lets start that next year on a home home deal.

Note how I started the conversation, yet you're the one that gets the home-home.

Just more proof that Papa's afraid to play me.

After the games we've had, it honestly wouldn't surprise me

[psusnoop]

LOL, too funny

[Papa LoneStar]

lol....I'll add you both....I'll be happy to put a stop to the Big 10 dominance and let the country know that the Pac-10 is back!

[Iron Dragon]

If I had to play with the Oklahoma team my next roster update should be bring, Dejuan Miller wouldn't be contending for the Heisman. But Kenny Stills would be a nice freshman weapon at 83 OVR, but he's 80 right now as rFR.

[fsuprime]

and i would have joyner at speed 93 and xavier rhodes and mike harris with normal speed and acceleration


jesus: oklahoma fans are jumping off a fucking cliff, i hope we beat em but they will circle the wagons next week

[JeffHCross]

Gah ... I want us to hurry up to Week 5, 'cause I hate the bye week. But I kinda want the game to be put off as long as possible because I have practically everything riding on Week 5 visits.

[psusnoop]

I'm playing my game here vry soon.

I am right there with you, I've got 10 recruits coming in next week for the Notre Dame game. And I agree, bye weeks are tough.

[psusnoop]

I've been spreading out my recruits this year. I laid a goose egg with 7 or 8 recruits in for Michigan last year, luckly I was able to rebound and run the table to keep my season respectable or else I could have been in real trouble this year for recruits.

[JeffHCross]

Well, I make sure to bring mine in for CPU games At least that gives me a considerably better chance.

[Oneback]

I never bring guys in for a user game unless I absolutely have to. I can overcome (most of the time) the CPU deciding its time for me to go down, its extremely difficult to do that against another user.

[psusnoop]

LOL very true.

[Papa LoneStar]

I learned my lesson on last year's game....I beat a certain user in this dynasty 58-10 at home....then 31-10 on the road....so with those results....the 3rd year....I got cocky and brought EVERY SINGLE recruit in for that week 7 home game....lost 21-19 and KILLED my recruiting class. A good reason why I will openly politic for Kingpin to take over Oregon next year. Win-win situation....he gets better talent and a better program....and I get another cpu rival :-)

[JeffHCross]

In offline dynasty news, I take an unranked 2011 Florida Gators and hold home court against the #2 ranked Crimson Tide, 17-9. Florida's not my team, I just wanted to see if I could take down Bama. I think I'm more proud of that win than any other I've had this year, except the close victory against Oneback. I held Bama's offense to 226 yards, 2/11 on 3rd and forced 2 FGs in the redzone, both when they had the ball inside the 10.

Good lord I struggled on offense though. I really think the Florida/Tulsa/Auburn/Vanderbilt style of spread offense does not work this year.
