I have no idea if I did that right, I just entered the name in the search and entered the password and then pressed start. It says I'm in the league, no idea what my team name is though. I assume it uses the one I have created locally (ie the correct roster and what not)?
Hmm I show up as Pittsburgh Iron Men

Wtf? Silver back? HmmJube3 said:FYI to people who still are arranging, there was a mistake and keith millard was picked for me in the 4th round when I had picked him already in the third. So I made Jerome Bettis Silver HB from the Create a player list.
I guess thats fine, but I could see him being a gold easily for his short yardage successes. However he's not on the level of a Sweetness, Sanders, or Campbell but hell I would put him well above most all of the silver backs... Seems like he should have a shot at gold but oh well.Jube3 said:
Anyone see that klist spec posted? to unlock the achievements? You know once u unlock all te achievements you are able to create a gold player with 5 attributes.. I wouldnt care if someone did this legitly but i know for sure no one plays this game enough to have a gold rated created 5 ability player only if u used that cheat list!...
I'll be watching some of the created gold players. ill check the depth charts before each game to see if someone is trying to gain an edge..
Please ban the 5 gold ability cheesers!...
lol
Nah j/k are we going to be allowed to unlock these achievements and then create that gold 5 ability player?

Yea Im gonna try my hardest to get all my games done by next week. Going back and forth from ncaa and all pro is damn near impossible to do while mantaining some sort of good play on the field lol. I blew like 4 plays on ando hitting R for turbo causing me to strafe :lol .
:lol I just went to the practice mode "moves" for the first time. Oh shit lol. I never played 2k5 so I guess i never got to experience the insane diving ability of players. Earl Campbell when charged up can jump forward Vick style for 6.5 yards before his knee touches the ground.

Ahh . . . so that's why I've been reading about how using Earl Campbell is now considered 'cheesing'.
They might to issue a patch to try to balance this game a little more.

I don't think Tiki will even make the hall, so no way do I see him as a gold. Silver sure. And I'm saying this completely serious. Before Tom C came around Tiki was not that great and had fumbleitis.

Curtis Martin and Tiki are both silver. Tiki maybe even bronze... I'm sorry but they don't compare to the likes of Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, and Gale Sayers just to name a few.

Yep I'd agree with Faulk, but no way would Tiki or Martin. Sorry NY fans, but thats the truth.
sableholic said:
The only reason Tiki won't make the hall is because he retired early. He still looked great last year and there's no reason to believe he would have slowed down. I don't really care to blame Tiki for Jim Fassel not using him correctly until his last couple seasons there either. But anyway he had over 15,000 yards total yards and almost 5 yards per carry. If he isn't a gold neither are guys like Cambell, Davis or Bo Jackson imho. But it doesn't matter, I'm not making Tiki or Martin. Imho he should just make them whatever he wants, making them gold only gives him 3 abilities anyway which pretty much amounts to silver.
Lol um its most definitely not cheesing. For one the practical purposes for using such an insane dive would be on the goal line run formations. However you have to have about 15-20 yards of running to charge up the 2nd level charge. Also if there is anyone near you when you hit "super dive" it ignore that you hit dive and you get beasted. I guess the only practical purpose would be to show boat going into the end zone? Otherwise its useless.speculawyer said:
I've had a couple people call me a cheeser which was pretty odd. One said it was because I passed to my running backs (FB and HB). Also they've complained that earl is complete cheese because he can break a tackle when their in Dime. Also I had a guy pissed off that I ran a HB screen which went for a touchdown. I said to him "Honestly, whats the point of having a Gold guard if you don't run a pulling route to the outside or run a screen to utilize the guard from time to time?" He simply followed by "whatever man its still cheese."
So I don't know. I won't lie Earl is a ****ing beast, but he's always been and thats why I picked him. Couldn't believe he slipped to 4.
Not sure about anyone else, but when I created my players I put their last name first and first name last.
Thats because in game it only shows their first name to your opponent. Little bitch move 2K made so people couldn't re-create real players and use their full names online.
I have Jimmy Johnson, Jeff George, and Michael Irvin.
So instead of my opponents seeing only Jimmy, Jeff, and Michael. They will now see Johnson, Irvin, and George.
IF anyone else wants to do that, you can go to edit your created players, then drop the league and rejoin. But you can only do it before FMT generates the schedule.

IMO Curtis is a gold. He is the only back to run for 1000 yards in his first 10 seasons in the league. He was like Walter Payton IMO. He wasn't just a shifty runner or a power runner, he could do both.
Tiki is a silver, maybe even a gold. The guy is one of the best cutback runners ever IMO. He gained 10000 yards rushing and never had a dominant line, never.
What do you want for emmitt. I might be willing to trade you derrick thomas for emmitt. I would have to get rid of my silver RB though. What silver players do you have?
