Sorry, I just noticed this and I'll go sign in straight away, but...

Is this allowed? Can I sign in with any team with lower prestige than I built with OSU?

No. People are just re-signing back in with their teams. All of their coaching info is intact.

I think Az misinterpreted what I said he could do. I was gonna let him sign back in and create a new coach for Arizona State with Clemson as his alma mater so he'd have a better shot at them in future carousels, not just let him pick Clemson outright.

EDIT: story's signing in this afternoon sometime, but he was on Autopilot until the season started anyway so I'm going to advance to conference alignment and the preseason once mik's done. Once story's signed in, I can start work on the schedules.

 

[mik]

I'm in.

 

[GCQuinton]

Okay, folks. Conference alignment is complete and we've advanced to the preseason. After story signs in, I can start on schedules.

Striker, Pitt's officially a member of the ACC and in the Coastal Division (just looked right with Miami and VT there). It also created a protected rivalry with Syracuse, so you'll be playing them every season even though they're in the other division.

Again, here are the changes:

Pitt (Striker) and Syracuse to the ACC

FIU (Nightz) and Notre Dame to the Big East

Missouri and Texas A&M to the SEC

TCU and BYU to the Big 12

 

[storybook77]

Signed in.

 

[GCQuinton]

Headed out for a little bit, but I'll do the schedules when I get back.

Notes From The Commish:

Well, after dynasty deleting bugs and other setbacks, we're finally at Season Three! This had to be the longest I've ever spent setting the schedules (a good two hours easily), but I finally got everything to where everyone plays the regular four human games. This came at a cost to some, though:

The Minnesota-Colorado "Rivalry" game has been canceled. It just didn't work with the scheduling for everybody else. You guys'll still likely play every other year, though.

The Pitt-West Virginia rivalry game, The Back Yard Brawl, is officially dead. With Pitt's move to the ACC, squeezing in the four human games and scheduling this just couldn't happen. That said, only the rivalry games on your schedule affect that part of your contract, so the Syracuse game counts for a lot more now for Striker.

Similar to the above, I WAS able to keep Syracuse as a rivalry game for Rutgers (BigAT), even though it wasn't neccessary for reasons mentioned above.

Without further ado, here's the human game schedule for Season Three.

I doubt folks will be getting to any games tonight/tomorrow morning so I'm gonna hold off on the advance to Week 1 until tomorrow at 4 ET.

 

[mik]

Oof. Gonna be an uphill climb this season.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Well this OOC schedule doesn't bode well for my young team.. :\

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Going to be a tough season for me. Im not very familiar with the players style in the league :/

 

[Nightz]

Saw

Cal
Ole Miss
Miss State
Oregon State
Colorado

Cal is with me now! Ill take real good care of em.... real good care!

Oh I think you've see enough of me. Also, how did I get Oregon state again? Doesn't the conference schedule rotate non-divisional games?

 

[GCQuinton]

Don't know the Pac-12's rotation schedule, but I write down what I see on the screen. I do remember playing mik every season last year when we were both in the SEC even though we were in different divisions. So the game may not be rotating them right.

 

[MrCWS83]

Set up the board and redshifts, depth chart is arranged and ready to go

 

[MrCWS83]

Anything going on today?

 

[MrCWS83]

Regarding Az's comment earlier
I don't know the Pac12 rotation exactly and wouldn't expect that the video game have it correct but I recall Stanford and Cal having set games against USC and UCLA even though they're different divisions so maybe that leads to less rotating the schedule? I'm getting Cal and Oregon St for the first time this year

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

I want to join the league, but I'm afraid I'm going to come across a problem if I do. I only have this account for a month and then I get my normal account back. Can't just have a different profile takeover a team midseason like you can in madden right? Or you can but it would just register as a new coach or something? Or would it be fine? For some reason I'm thinking the coaches contract thing will cause an issue.

We've already locked our schedules and are about to start the season, so we're not adding anybody else for Season 3. If you wanna sign on for Season 4, let me know and I'll add you to the waiting list and let know you when can join (usually in about a month).

Add me to the list, just send me a pm as I'm not watching this.

Game of the Week

WEEK ONE DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY!

 

[Nightz]

BPH, when do you want to play?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

kanzolo! when do you want to play?

 

[GCQuinton]

kanzolo! when do you want to play?

He posts in the thread sometimes, but it's best to reach him by PM.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

BPH, when do you want to play?

Wanna try for tomorrow night around 8-9pm central?

 

[MrCWS83]

A great start winning 26-3. Defense was stout highlighted with a pick 6. Kicker Grossnickle had 2 booming 55 yard fg that had ten more yards on them for certain. Excited for the long road ahead!

 

[mik]

Man, my O-line is even worse than it was last year--if that's possible.

And I lost.

And my starting HB is now out for 10 weeks.

 

[Nightz]

Wanna try for tomorrow night around 8-9pm central?

Alright, sounds good.

 

[BigAT]

Man, Wisconsin's players were absolutely impossible to take down. There were plays where there were literally like 4-5 broken tackles that led to a touchdown. Their offense is rated A+ for a reason. Thankfully my offense was just as explosive and I managed to win 51-37.

 

[GCQuinton]

Army picks up its first win of the season, and probably last for a while, beating Central Michigan 31-10. Now to prepare for the gauntlet of AT, BPH, the Owl, and Az.

 

[BigAT]

Rough stretch.

 

[MrCWS83]

BPH our rivalry will have to resume in the Granddaddy of them all

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Barely squeaked by ND. My defense is not very good against the pass and my o-line gives me about 2 seconds before I get sacked. This is going to be a rough year.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

gg kazolo, 6 turnovers doomed me

had some issues with being used to the madden audible system and style as well. forgot how effective man D is in this game vs. madden!

 

[KanZolo]

i want you on my schedule!

(gg)

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

lulz yeah i should've played some scrims. this is the first time i've played ncaa in a couple months. not using that as an excuse but i could've at least made the game a bit closer :/

Good game. Your RB is a speedy little shit. I can forsee your opponents having a really tough time stopping him... I know I did. Good luck the rest of the way.
