From the sounds of it, I assume we'll be waiting for the patch before we advance to the next year. Hopefully the timing is just right, we could be coming to a close on the first year when the patch becomes available!

Forgot about the Owl's August 7 post since he didn't mention it in his latest one. I just walked in, so I'll advance now.

Not seeing any advancement from the web options yet, though. But I'll probably keep advancing from the console unless I know I won't be around to do it.

If you guys wanna hold on off on advancing to Season 2 a bit, I'm cool with it. They do say we can do everything up to "Training Results" in the offseason though, so we can just let it sit for a bit after we do recruiting until the update goes live.

And I'm not gonna say any names, but people, you don't have to PM me everytime on XBL to ask about when I'm advancing. I'm usually around when everybody plays their games, so that's when I advance, whenever that is. Just wait!

I think you have to buy some add on on xbox live before the web options show up.

GG, man. I had a couple big plays help me get a healthy lead and then some luck on defense to finish it off. Didn't feel like I could really pass all that comfortably against you, so I figured I'd try my luck with the running game.

GG Az. Really took it to me with the zone read option. I haven't seen that executed as well as you did so far. I got down and gave up on running early. I had a few tough breaks but you clearly outplayed me. Good luck to you the rest of the way and I'll be waiting for you next season!

SuperSimming this game against UCLA confirms my beliefs that it's meant to screw you over. My QB couldn't complete any passes while the opposing QB seemingly made every third and long. CPU fake punted once and successfully went for it on 4th and long on my side of the field. A million penalties called on my team. Probably would have had better luck the past 2 games if I had just simmed normally. Good thing I'm still using the free 7 day trial for SuperSim, but I'm even debating if I should even try the next game.

Speaking of faking it on 4th down. When I stopped Az fake field goal in the 1st qtr, that was probably the highlight of the game for me. That's how well it went for me

True story: I tried to throw it to the "Y" receiver off the snap....there was no "Y" receiver :(

Yeah I hear ya, I was trying to throw that screen pass to the running back and he was jammed up by OL/DL and his symbol wasn't available, I jammed that sucker down a few times and when it appeared I think that resulted in a pick. I dunno there were a few in the game so it isn't clear to me hours later

mik is unbeatable
I feel much better about my life after dominating Utah. A win against a ranked team, computer-controlled or not--is welcome. However, I lost my starting HB for five weeks. :(

Hah, I knew as soon as I read that I would be the number one guess.

I don't suppose you're around to play?

edit: What times are you free at night usually Story? I'll probably be free at like Midnight tomorrow, dunno if that's too late for you.

I'll make an honest attempt at midnight tonight.

If sometime tomorrow during the day before 3 EST works better, I could swing that. Give me some times on what works best for you, you don't have to stay up til midnight if that's too late for you.

Typically anywhere between 6-7pm and 10 to midnight on weekdays. I work from 8-5. Weekends fluctuate depending on what I have going on with family and friends.

I'll try to do midnight tonight though.

I can see if my wife will let me play at 10, I get off work around 9:30 usually. So if you can be around earlier, just check the thread, I'll post up my availability.

Yeah I dunno if taking army was the best decision, haha.

Crazy thing is my defense has been keeping me in games. Aside from my human games our strength of schedule is at or slightly above our team's talent level so it's not like I'm getting killed. I even hung with Notre Dame till the 4th quarter (or not looking at the box score, but it felt like it!). It just sucks that my only player on offense that can really do anything is my HB, and even on Ohio's 2 yard line for the game win my line couldn't do jack to give him space.

You guys talk about getting shitty 3* WRs, but the one I did get lucky enough to nab is gonna be a team savior!

GG Story, my offense couldn't get anything going.

So since my next opponent is Zolo, does that mean I play the cpu at the next advance?

Typical SEC football, that horrible throw on the rollout killed any chance I had.

Feel free to advance. I finished vs. UCONN a little bit ago. Struggled earlier, couldn't run well, and my OL couldn't pass protect. Felt like Jay Cutler out there.

I was able to throw 3 TD's in the second half and pick off the Husky QB 3 times to secure the win. Next game vs. Cincinnati will be a big game for the Big East.

EA servers crashing as I'm attempting to recruit. I hope I don't lose mins from those.

Yeah, looks like they're working on some stuff so I'm just gonna hold off till later today.

Slightly related, look what just popped up on the website for me...

Can we kick out the CPU? They just got a user catch against me. Yep, it actually came up as a user catch on screen. It got even weirder as the play was overturned eventually, as the player was knocked out of bounds.

Don't think I'll ever have a good defensively called game as I did vs. Cincinnati.

Zach Collaros had 4 completions and just 30 yards, picked him off 3 times, and sacked him 5 times.

Guess the website's still not working for recruiting. Anyways, I'll just recruit later and you can sim my game against the CPU. SuperSim sucks.

I think my next game is against a human opponent. I'll be coming home late tomorrow night/early Saturday morning so I might have some time on Saturday to play before I go out of town again on Sunday.

Did my recruiting a few hours ago from the web just fine. Don't know what's going on there today.

Man, I had an amazing game stats wise against Ole Miss, but my router reset, d/c me and the game ended up not counting even though I connected back ASAP. :( It was in a blizzard and I had like 8 sacks, 4 FFs, lol.

I still won the 2nd game, but the cpu was in god mode for the first quarter, was down by two scores within like 3-4 minutes. Looks like I'll have nothing but cpu games from here on out this season, boo. :p

They have those games where even backups play like Joe Montana and their WR's catch passes within a 2-deep Safety zone in double coverage, and their CB's play like Deion Sanders and Darrell Green in their prime.

It doesn't help that tendencies are broken so players tendencies go against their actual ratings.

Man I just experienced an all time kick in the nuts. USC came back and beat me 21-17. My offense was inept yet again. I'm down 14-10 in the 4th qtr and my SS Anthony Perkins picked off his second pass of the game, returns this one 107 yards for a TD. Marc Tyler of USC was too much to handle and barreled his way in for the go ahead TD. Returned the kickoff for a TD only to be called back by holding which seems to be the case anytime I get a decent return led alone my first TD. Damn

I'm still doing some training out of town until next Friday. Going home late tonight and I'll probably go to Best Buy to switch out my 360 for a new one tomorrow. Heading back out Sunday morning and I'll be back next Friday night.
