Mik, I'll be around tonight to play if you're available. Really any time after the Yankees are done.
I'm available for the next handful of hours--and it looks like the Yankees have already taken care of business. I'll go hop online and hang out so you can take care of business too. :)

Sorry, I'm having AC problems and am dying in my house and am making plans to go out and buy a new one. I'll basically be free all night starting around 9 pm est and on.

If that's not good, let me know what day/time works for you.

Wonder if Abreu turns out to be a mid 90's guy he was for me during the '09 dynasty.
Nah, he's rated 83 right now as junior. Regardless, he's currently my best linebacker and will be next year (by a serious margin) as well. He certainly was a superbeast in '09, he hit the mid 90's for me as well. Unfortunately the real Abreu hasn't progressed nearly as well as his digital counterpart.

Yeah, I think I'm probably going to write up any articles I do in Word, then copy and paste them when I'm finished. I accidentally opened a link while I was writing and when I went back the whole thing had been forgotten and lost.

Nightz, I'll be on my 360 playing Alan Wake. If you want to play tonight just send me a message on live.

Hey GCQ, are we leaving the CPU's pass coverage at that insane slider setting? They're clairvoyant enough without the extra help. That combined with the default 50 speed threshold is going to make for a very long season. :\
 
Good game, story. I think I'm going to change my offensive gameplan. No point in using the air raid if no one on my fucking team can catch a damn ball. All my scores were from runs. WTF.:lol

You're the only person so far to bring it up as an issue so far. I really don't want to be messing with the sliders everytime somebody has a problem with them (which is why I ran that by everybody before committing to default All-American before we started), but if it becomes a big enough issue I'll look into it.

I wasn't referring to the human games, I'm just looking towards the future. Every corner should not run the routes before the receivers do. I'll have to deal with whatever but it's just my opinion.

Also, as much as I'd like to take credit for shutting down the Air Raid with my skillful playcalling, that shit ain't right.

GG Nightz. I totally thought you were going to blow me out after your insane first half. I couldn't defend the pass or throw for shit that game.

My guys also don't know how to int the ball *sigh*

I only won cause I switched to my ground game, which normally wouldn't work, but since we both have teams with shitty run D I took advantage of it.

GG man. I think my team burned itself out during the first half :lol. Nothing worked for me in the second half, and I couldn't help but laugh when your guy just stole the ball when I was optioning it to my HB. Ah well, at least it was an instant classic!

haha yea they couldn't tackle and your QB who was making insane accurate throws the first half was missing by the 4th. I also blitzed a little more in the 2nd half.

Yea Ive seen that option thing now twice, they call it a fumble, but it looks like you are basically tossing me the ball :lol That play basically won it for me.

It was a great game, except my pass D was really sad and I was cussing throughout the whole first half :lol I love the headlines, "first game jitters for me".... more like I suck and only won cause my team is higher rated!

WR Gonzales Commits To South Carolina
Four star recruit immediately commits to program after visit from coach GCQ

South Carolina may have lost their season opener to Minnesota, but they got some good news less than 24 hours later. Four star recruit Adam Gonzales, a wide receiver out of Piedmont, SC, committed to his hometown college immediately after a 20 minute pitch from coach GCQ.

"This is a very important day for our program," coach GCQ said. "To land someone of Adam's skill and character out of the gate is a crucial step for us as we build what we hope will become a successful dynasty. We hope our other prospects follow his lead."

Gonzales will be in attendence at the Gamecocks' next game against the Georgia Bulldogs in an early SEC conference matchup.

Nothing is as instantly gratifying as a recruit popping up with that 5000 point Commitment bonus :D

Now you can see part of the reason for my total failure when we scrimmaged, and I was TTU.

That, plus just some shoddy deep ball defense by TTU's DB's.

Me and Ram scrimmaged an SEC battle of Auburn and Kentucky. As much as I dispise AU, they were interesting to play with. Cam Newton get's knocked out early, and who'd have thought Neil Caudle was Vince Young 2.0.

Do what I do and control the safety. Then story thinks he can fool me with the play action except I still run back there and user pick the ball.

I'm horrible at DB's, poor at LB, and just average at DL. It's defensive playcalling and that's about it.

Which is bad enough that you're good at playing safety and the guys on the other side of the field are running the routes for my receivers. It was a good game overall because you were having the same issues. It just feels cheap, IMO.

Are we allowed to switch playbooks in this dynasty or do we have to use the one for our team? I know it's physically possible, but I didn't know if it was against the rules that GCQ setup. I'm thinking of switching to Clemson's playbook. There's a lot of the same formations, I just get more running plays and the wildcat, which works out for me because evidently my RB is a 90 overall anyway.

Yeah, that's not a problem at all.

Just so I'm clear, I'm not bitching at you about the sliders. I'm just frustrated that they made man coverage so overpowered especially when everything is so much better this year. Hopefully, they tone it down in a patch. It's not as noticeable when I'm using Bama (surprise, lol) but it's still there. Also, has anyone witnessed an offsides penalty yet in any game? I seem to always get false starts but never an offsides penalty even if I'm set to aggresive on defense.

I have not seen an offsides. I have seen 2 Pass Interference calls!

I've seen 1 of those too! Way too many clipping calls though... :\

I will say that I appreciate the new animations for wr/db going up for the ball and the tackles in the air. The stupid flip animation is finally gone!!!! YAY!

Also, the intro to this game is awesome. I rarely skip it.

Same here. One of the menu songs reminds me of the new Doctor Who theme too, but maybe that's just me :D

I dunno, but it pissed me off. I even tried to change the snap count to get you offsides and it didn't work AND you still jumped the snap every play.

I've been busy with work. Getting home late, and having to be early.

Tonight I'll be on after 11 EST, and can play if he's available. If not, I'll be free all day tomorrow until later in the evening. Didn't mean to hold up...

GG MWS.

Not to eeyore, but outside the bad pass you threw early in the GL, I was thumped. That was a good defensive call, I gotta say, though that's the only real positive I've came away with this game.

I couldn't get off the field defensively really, and my offense couldn't muster any consistency. The long run by Ward going for a no TD hurt because your next KR was the icing on the cake. I really don't trust my OL either. I had a good pass lined up for a TD but your guys were in my face barely enough for it to be taken down (and should have been picked!).

So, we 'vancing tonight or just some time tomorrow?
