[Menelaus]

updated with a few more players

 

[Menelaus]

going to start on Saturday...last call.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

i would but i cant afford the game and live

whats the cheapest way to get live? Any free months or something?

 

[Menelaus]

You can usually scrounge up a 12 month card for about $35-40 bucks online.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Ok My Bank account is gonna kill me but count me in as WVU

My GT is Crigins McJuggs, I'll pick up the game tommorow and sub to live

 

[Menelaus]

ok, more than likely you'll be the last one to join. let me know when you get ncaa and live, i can't invite you until then.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

I'm gonna try to pick it up tonight, I'll message you. Since it looks like I have to choose I'll be Offensive coordinator. This will be my first online dynasty, so if there is anything I should know please enlighten me

 

[Menelaus]

Hey man, this is my first to commish, so we're all learning =)

When you get into the dynasty, you should set up your recruiting board of prospects. These are guys you will work every week to try to get to your school. If you've done an offline dynasty, it's the same dynamic as that.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

ok and you play your teams regular schedule right? so how many games are actually against other players?

also how do rosters work? if i download a custom roster with names of players will that be compatable online?

 

[Menelaus]

pretty sure the rosters are fine. i got mine from CK11

i'll try to schedule us to play as many of the other guys as possible through the custom schedule feature. some of us will play each other by default due to our regular conference schedules.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Room for another?

 

[Menelaus]

Invited you

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Invited you

Oh Ok so we can only be 3 star and under schools I take it?

 

[Menelaus]

yup, trying to work our way up to head coaches

 

[Menelaus]

Sorry, Drizz, too slow. We're starting tonight.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

TheDrizzlerJ11 - Air Force - OC

No other MWCs . All well, first win's recorded.

 

[Menelaus]

I'll see if I can still tweak the schedule now that we've begun. If I can't, you'll definitely get some custom games in season 2.

 

[Menelaus]

Just FYI, for you GAFers, I have some forum space that I'm using for this league. You don't have to post over there, but that's where I'll be making my commish postings.

Don't forget your recruiting

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Ready for week 3

 

[Menelaus]

Since I'm limited to ~80 characters to respond to your question about custom conferences via the dynasty page, I'll answer it here. Unfortunately, since you came in during week 1, I wasn't able to match you up with any humans. However, the rest of us have at least 3 if not 4 human matchups this season, and you'll get that next season. I'd rather give everyone a chance to play their real life rivalry games/schedules and schedule the human games for non-confs than merge into 2 conferences.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

I just think it'd be much better if the user games were more meaningful as well. Then we could also play each other in bowl games if the two conferences we were in were tied that way. I just think the dynasty would be a lot more interesting.

Also, when you do the custom conferences you can still set a rival. So they won't play all of them in the old conference but you can make Texas Tech in the ACC and still have the finish the season with Texas A & M (or whoever their main rival is). This leagues just an investment and I think the more human competition the more interesting and fun it is.


P.S.

Let's start week 3!

 

[Menelaus]

I'm open to discussion with everyone about the conferences. I'm not sure how it would work if someone gets an offer to move to a new team...if that's before or after I shuffle conferences, etc.

Week 3 started!

You'd just have to fix it the season they switch or the season after. I have no plans switchin tho, I'm gonna try to HC Air Force.

 

[Menelaus]

well my main concern is that we may not all get HC offers next season. (especially if i continue to play like i have been)

Why's that a concern?

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]
