Why don't we just skip the whole preseason then instead of only letting guys the can play within a few hours of advancing get the XP and not guys who are in the middle of the game and get advanced on?

Yes.

YES

It's Sunday night, prime time to start the real season
 
i really don't care if we skip the pre-season or not. it doesn't look like there is any difference on XP if you get a lot of yards or get 0 yards.

the issue with starting tonight (for instance) is that people need to get their roster down to 53 or else the CPU will cut guys you want

everyone gets XP, whether you play the game or not
That's not the same fucking XP that Ez would get from this game. He just had multiple fumble and int return TDs which are 3000 XP a pop if I recall correctly.

It's really easy to understand this. Should we just sim into the 2014 season since we all get XP too?

nope. i had 2 int's and a TD return against CB and didn't get this type of XP. maybe in the regular season it does!

And Rors wants to sim the draft, so we could just play GM mode head coach style now.

Before you motherfuckers go and do something stupid, don't advance it to the regular season until EVERYONE has had a chance to cut their rosters or the cpu will do it for them. CATFISH?!

I actually kind of want to play the preseason, and it has nothing to do with XP. I was planning to try a few different playbooks on both sides of the ball to see if I wanted to change. It's a little harder experiment much in games that count.

Yeah that does suck. But I know it's not normal amount of XP that one would get in regular season. EJ Henderson had a FF and an INT in my first preseason game and only got 800-1000 points or so. Which is what everyone else got prtty much

Yeah, the main reason I want to play is to play with new playbooks.

If my opponents don't want to play, set it to autopilot and I will fingerbang the CPU!
 
You get xp bonuses in the pre-season too. I got some.

why didn't i get 3k for my TD return then? :(

and as i said, all my rookies had identical points.... even the ones that didn't play! we'll just play through the pre-season. it has been too wishy-washy and i don't want people losing out on their guys.

next advance is Tuesday @ 5 pm pst. make sure to get your team down to 65 guys before that time or the CPU might cut them and they could be lost forever!

It sounds like XP from preseason isn't worth it.

Why don't you make a list/mark people off as they tell you and require everyone to make cuts to 65 this round by tomorrow at like 10pm pst or something.

Then do the same for the next round and then again.

Just a thought.

Unless everyone wants to practice with rookies.

I never got 3k from my returns... but I don't know. Game isn't always on top of things xp wise :\ I got bonuses for passing and defense.

Or whenever the fuck you feel like it apparently.

I don't know what happened between this version and last but you've become a bumbling idiot as commish.

Game didn't even count, thanks for the huge waste of time.

So should I fucking practice or will I get simmed since it's already been about 20 minutes?

Honestly, make decisions and fucking stick to them. You're not a good leader if you can't fucking lead, right now you're a yes man to the rest of the personalities in the league, FMT. This is coming from a guy that does nothing but defend you.

I mean there will be a time where we'll be playing Madden '35 and FMT will tell everyone that the Colts are available because I died.

Death in the age of the internet is a weird thing

Who was the first to die? No more Gaborn is pretty sad, probably have read more of his OPs than anyone else. A weird thing indeed.

Scorcho succumbed to a pretty brutal illness recently. The thread was intense and he was posting right up until his final couple days. Just gut wrenching.

I like that my coach was a dick in the sim:

@RossTuckerEA You'd think Eric Taylor would have pulled A. Luck out sooner. #preseason #CCM

I can't log in to the game because apparently my XBL account got fucked up when FMT advanced things while I was looking at rosters so I have no idea who the Texans, Bills, 49ers and Raiders took in the first.

"Your peer has been kicked for excessive greiving"

OHHHH so that's what it says?

Anyway, gg DCX. I wish I didn't return that pick six at the beginning. I had one short series with my starters before the quarter ended lol.
