Damn, MWS. Went from Top 10 to not mentioned at all...again.

As always my toughest opponent is the AP Polls =(

No respect for non-BCS schools.

GCQ, you're pretty good about doing this anyway, but I'll mention it just in case...please keep my games against UNLV and Utah. They're party of my goals this season.

.....yeah. UNLV and Boise St. please.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I notice on my schedule that I play @Arkansas. I played there last year so if you give me a game against Mik again, it better be a home game.

Those are the defaults. I haven't touched it yet.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Just making sure in case you decide to keep that OOC game since it's against another human player.

I've got a four year human OOC rotating schedule already set and haven't swayed from it. I can already tell you you're not playing mik in the regular season. Same goes for anyone else you've already played OOC in years 1 and 2.

They're in your conference so you always had those games anyway. Same deal for Boise State (for Nevada) and Ohio (for Marshall).

Not always, my first season I did not play Boise St.

That was a bug in the game itself, not GCQ's doing. It was fixed in one of the patches.

For whatever reason this doesn't apply to Boise St. even though their team isn't even that good this year talent wise.

Oh ok I didn't know. Not having UNLV on my schedule caused me to break like 20 promises lol.

I know you didn't. I was just pointing it out because the same thing happened in offline dynasties and other teams had similar schedule issues too.

Season Three: Here Comes A New Challenger!

Non-BCS schools get no respect.

After fighting their way back to the top, the Nevada Wolfpack took advantage of their opportunity in the BCS National Championship Game by narrowly defeating Arkansas.

Marshall had a similar story, fighting their way to a BCS bowl and defeating Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

And once again in the preseason, the polls show them no love for the efforts.

These two programs fight back to the top, along with the high profile signing of DCX to Syracuse, highlight the storylines going into season three of play.

As he does every season, commishioner GCQ reminds folks that the schedule isn't perfect, but it's more than suitable.

"Like the last two seasons, open weeks and humans games for some teams are all over the place, some people have more home/away games and some schools have them in situations where you typically wouldn't see them in real life. Them's the breaks of an online dynasty with this structure."

"Also, due to human games taking precedence I couldn't fit in some rivalry games, so unfortunately Marshall won't be playing Ohio and Nevada won't be playing UNLV. They will still play West Virginia and Boise State, respectively."

Week One Preview coming up!

 

[Nightz]

Welp, looks like I'll be going 0-12 against human controlled teams in this dynasty. :lol

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I feel like I played SDSU in season 1. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

 

[Nightz]

You did. "Played" isn't even the right word. More like "ran over".

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

 

[GCQuinton]

You did. I couldn't schedule around some conference game locks so for some folks I had to reschedule season one matchups.

 

[storybook77]

I get to use my transfer RB this year. He's the best I've ever had, provided he can stay healthy. 89 OVR with 92 (or is it 91) SPD with 95+ ACC.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK! Killing me here. Damn Nevada gets no respect from the NCAA or the commish!!! Will Nevada coach Natural be forced to a BCS school next season!??

[storybook77]

:lol I wish!

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Going up against Arkansas for like half my recruits. Let the recruiting wars begin!

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Oh fun, I get both teams that played in last years National Championship. Woo!

 

[mik]

Damn--I'm gonna need more whores & blow.

 

[mik]

False.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Damn--I'm gonna need more whores & blow.

You can go ahead and give up on Darryl Brown now. He has a "very high" for early playing time which is A+ for me and D for you. I'm going to use that to eat you alive.

 

[Nightz]

GCQ, what's the latest time you can play tonight?

 

[GCQuinton]

GCQ, what's the latest time you can play tonight?

I'll be around to play tonight from 6 PM EST till around 10 PM EST. Any time in between that work for you?

 

[Nightz]

I usually get home from work around 10 EST. =\

Edit: I'll try to get out earlier, but I can't make any promises.

 

[GCQuinton]

I usually get home from work around 10 EST. =\

10:30 work? I'll try to hang around a bit longer if you can.

 

[Nightz]

Yeah that should work. I usually watch Chuck at 8 PST, but I'll just stream it later on.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

False.

I guess its teams that have won the last 2 championships.

 

[DCX]

Haha..when u want to rumble?

DCX

 

[GCQuinton]

I guess its teams that have won the last 2 championships.

I had both eventual champs (Texas Tech and Nevada) in the first season, along with the runner up from last year (Arkansas, but I have them every year). No favoritism here!

 

[MWS Natural]

How is Rutgers vs Nevada not the game of the week!?? NO RESPECT!!!

 

[storybook77]

Haha..when u want to rumble?

DCX

We'll shoot for tomorrow evening. I may or may not have time to get another game in tonight since I have already told CB we'd play in Madden.

 

[Striker]

:lol I have to go @Texas Tech. It's going to be worse than the Bears offense last night.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

:lol I have to go @Texas Tech. It's going to be worse than the Bears offense last night.

Don't worry, my defense is average at best.

 

[MWS Natural]

I just thought about it...how did my Strong Safety make All-American last year and only improve 3 points in the off-season?? At least in Madden your production on the field has an impact on your off-season progression. My whole team basically makes all WAC (I know not saying much) and finishes in the top 5 two years in a row but they barely improve at all the next year. The biggest increase I had was a +6 from a freshman WR who only saw the field on kickoff returns.

 

[Lonestar]

:lol I have to go @Texas Tech. It's going to be worse than the Bears offense last night.

Nine Times

 

[Striker]

Don't worry, my defense is average at best.

My QB is rated 64 (THP 75, THA 79).

I believe the prestige level of your school also affects off-season progression. I guess the thought is the big boys have better athletic facilities and can train their players better.

 

[Striker]

Sullivan looked better than I expected. His ACC is still wacky, though that is expected. There also seemed to be a ton of injuries, though none serious except my starting HB missed the second half, and WVU's starting OLB is out for the season.

 

[MWS Natural]

Well yeah that should be a factor but it sucks the game doesn't reward you for playing well with lesser players by giving them higher progression. You can underachieve with a top team yet your players will still greatly improve the next season. There really is no benefit for winning with a lower team. You go up in stars but I still have little to no interest from 4 star players and my school ratings didn't even go up from last season except for one or two categories. What the hell do I need another coach of the year trophy for when there aren't any job offers? lol

 

[mik]

Mr. Digital, how are your next few days looking? I'm generally available any night after about 8:30 eastern time.

 

[BigAT]

MWS, when do you want to play?

 

[MWS Natural]

MWS, when do you want to play?

We can go after MNF, I'm going out tomorrow.

 

[BigAT]

So I was completely unable to recruit ANY kicker this season, and my punter recruited from last year is really bad as well, so currently my 99 WR is my kicker, punter and kick-off specialist.
