Powerhouse v. 3.0 - Death Penalty Settings

[gschwendt]

How are ya'll seeing the rosters already?

I imagine Escobar just downloaded them from my EA Locker and looked at his team that way.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I think I'd rather just keep who I have. A draft would be too much.

I would also rather keep my team than draft. If we drafted I would want to draft the majority of my team, not just the starters, because my system relies on me having a certain/complex depth.

Also if you are doing position changes, can you move my MLB Tony Cummings to ROLB and move ROLB Nick Alexander to MLB, MLB Jason Baker to LOLB and move LOLB William Bell to MLB.

Done. Your LBs now look like this:

Name	Pos	OVR
John Wilson	LOLB	68
Jason Baker	LOLB	68
Nick Alexander	MLB	76
William Bell	MLB	66
Ian Sutton	MLB	49
Tony Cummings	ROLB	75
Matt Washington	ROLB	71

I made the following moves for my team (if you make requests, please layout your requests similar to this):

Name	Old Pos	Old OVR	New Pos	New OVR
Randall Williams	FB	67	HB	72
Demetrius Stewart	LOLB	78	MLB	78
Rashad Cook	MLB	53	LOLB	53
Max Callahan	C	76	RT	74
Josh Miller	LT	49	C	51
Mark Sharpe	RG	65	LG	65
Sean Shelton	RT	55	LT	55

Also, for the record, in case we decide not to do position changes, I am keeping a backup roster set prior to any changes.

You'll need to move a FS & SS to CB... otherwise you'll end up with only 2 CBs.

Here are my changes:

Game didn't come today so hopefully tomorrow.

Want to see my roster lol

[psusnoop]

I will check mine here in about an hour or so.

Oh ok, Can you move Cornelius McCray from FS to CB?

[psuexv]

No... that was just to get our teams in the tank and hopefully lower the quality of our teams (ie lower contract restrictions). The plan all along was to have halfway decent teams after season 5.




As far as the draft, I'm good with whatever as well, just a crazy thought that I came up with.

I thought the idea was to simulate a DP, something where no football for like 2 years. The 5-6 seasons sim was to get the rosters crappy and our program rankings low, basically where it would be after not having football. With semi decent rosters there is a good chance most of us make a bowl game 1st year where we shouldn't be.

[gschwendt]

By semi decent, I'm saying higher than 40 OVR players. These teams though are shitty compared to EVERY other team. The lowest teams (USA, NMSU, Idaho) are in the neighborhood of 75 OVR... Our highest teams are 61 OVR.

That said, I'm not having much luck lowering contract requirements. I was able to get Florida down from 11 wins to 9 but so far I can't get it lower. I'm still tinkering though.

G, I'll try to look for position changes tonight. Ironically, pre-dynasty position changes is one of those things I've been meaning to ask to do every year. Awesome to see someone else suggest it.

[razorback44]

I won't have access to my PS3 until maybe late tomorrow night. Is there any way that you could see how many FB's and TE's that I have on my roster.

I run a lot of 12, 13, 21, and 22 so I might need to make some adjustments if necessary.

Two TEs: 61 OVR and 59 OVR. Fresh (RS) and Soph (RS) respectively.
Two FBs: 61 OVR and 45 OVR. Senior and Fresh respectively.

G, I noticed my TE is showing as currently being redshirted when I go through Edit Roster. Not sure how that's going to translate to a new dynasty.

Remember, while we've been sucking for 5 years, other teams have been getting better. Kansas has a 90-something punter, and tons of 80 players. Whereas I have one.

[JeffHCross]

Wow ... my offensive line is shit. Absolute shit.

Name	Old Pos	Old OVR	New Pos	New OVR
Marcus Harrell	LE	66	RG	53
Thomas Mason	DT	70	LG	53
Mike Walters	DT	75	C	57
Andrew Fitzpatrick	C	42	DT	40
Phillip Williams	C	40	DT	40
Tyler Gordon	LG	69	LT	69
Matt Taylor	LG	64	RT	63
Darren Magnum	RT	47	C	49
Barry Lloyd	LOLB	67	LE	70
B. Frederick	LOLB	67	ROLB	67

I don't even know where to begin with the rest of this team. Rebuilding project FTW!

So ... how different is the new recruiting?

[razorback44]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

That's no bueno on the TE's however. I usually keep 4-5 at a time on my roster considering how much I use them in different packages. I may need to see if there is a DE that I can move over.

[JeffHCross]

I'll tell you right now, Razor, I think most of us are going to be completely changing our playstyles, at least for year one.

There is no way in the world I can use my planned playbook with this team.

That's what I'm assuming as well. There's no way I'll be able to run some of the personel groupings I had with Michigan State until I do some recruiting.

The joys of a death penalty dynasty however. You have to adapt to advance.

I don't know what you've tried so far, but the biggest outlier I saw was Program Tradition. It looks like all of our teams are still in the A- to A+ range. All of the teams with 5 or 6 win contract requirements are D- to D+ teams. I think that might be a good place to tinker.

I did see that my Program Tradition dropped from A+ to C- after one simulated season. Maybe look at what our Program Traditions were at the end of Season 5, set them to be at that level, and then see what the requirements are. That's only editable in the Editor, right? Not something you can do within the rosters in the normal game?
