AT's playing his game now, I'm playing mine tomorrow morning, and I put Nightz on Autopilot since I'll assume he just wants to sim his. After I'm done with my game, I'm advancing to conference championship week, and the deadline for that will be WEDNESDAY.

The only human game for that week is Az and FMT, so you guys should get to planning that now.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Done with my recruiting. I'll be ready to go tomorrow!

 

[MrCWS83]

I'll recruit in the morning. Should be done by 8 am central barring I'm held over at work

[Big Papa Husker]

Still at work now, but will be heading home in the next 20 minutes and will play my game.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

GG, FMT. Came down to the final play. That damn 11 mph wind killed me on all my deep throws. Either too deep or too short.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

ugh fucking garbage. 2 of my 3 interceptions were on routes that i audibled where the guy didn't do what i told him in the audible!

then i have his guy stuffed which would have setup a 3rd and 15 or so (i was up 3 at the time) at midfield but he breaks a tackle and then my guy just lets him go! 44 yard run down the drain!

one thing i hate about NCAA is they took out TOO much of the suction tackling. there has to be a line between this game (standing next to a guy but wont tackle him) and madden 09 where you were sucked into every tackle.

anyways, gg aside from that az. definitely let that one slip away :/

p.s. i hope you got the game reported az. i'm stuck on "disconnected" and then it gives me the option to reconnect or abandon game result but it doesn't actually let me select either one of them. it's just frozen :/

If it makes you feel any better, he's probably going to win the Heisman.

And yeah, it reported for me.

nay!

at least i contained him besides that run. the shotgun counter play in this game isn't indefensible but its basically a moderate gain (at worst) unless you call one of a few plays to stop it or completely compromise your defense at the line :/

It only usually gets me 3 or 4 against the CPU. I think it works better on humans because they bite harder on the counter (as the safety or LB).

incase you didn't know, the CPU already knows the play you are going to run. you can really abuse this on run plays by flipping the play. some of the youtube vids that came out on the games release proving this were pretty funny

 

[mik]

Whenever I play Az, I only play that shotgun counter. I just let him kill me with everything else. Fuck that play.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

You guys need to talk to AT. He shuts that shit down and still doesn't let me do anything else.

 

[mik]

Well, he has the advantage of being really good.

 

[BigAT]

You guys need to talk to AT. He shuts that shit down and still doesn't let me do anything else.

The problem is I always forget how I did it until 3 or 4 drives into the game. I should probably write that shit down at some point.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Done. I have never played a game that was so damn cheap. I was down 21-0 at the end of the first with the RB running back the opening kickoff (finished with 250yds on 5 touches... RIGGED POS!), having a 80 yard run untouched with the linemen running downfield with him. I was able to pull ahead 24-21 in the 3rd, but then rigged mode turned on again and their RB went untouched again for 50. I gotta love how my fucking corners dropped 2 SURE pick-6's. GOD DAMN IT!

Striker is last up

Ouch, that's a stinker, could have said we beat the ACC champions

Now I get to see what Ramirez did with the Kentucky program before he ran off

Happy Thanksgiving guys, I'll probably get to my bowl on Saturday at some point. Go Pack Go and Go Big Red this weekend

Operation: Rebuild is going exactly as planned.

The Army Black Knights secured their second straight nine win season (9-4) after winning their second straight bowl game, defeating Ohio in a thrilling 17-14 Military Bowl battle.

"When I took this job, I was asked "Why?" about a million times, and its the faces of those kids in that locker room right now," said head coach GCQ. They've busted their [expletive] to get to where we are now and, like I said last year,we're only getting started. A foundation of excellence is being built here at West Point and I'm honored to be the one guiding the ship."

With the win, many media and coaching experts also expect the Black Knights to increase to a three-star prestige program, another first in program history.

 

[mik]

Wow. Nice turnaround, GC. I need to sort my shit out--I'm going the other direction.

Yeah, after that first 4-8 season I was starting to worry about it a bit but I'm definitely glad we're back on track.

And you've still got your bowl game so there's that!

 

[Big Papa Husker]

We bounced back after the disaster in the Big Ten Championship and won 27-14. The score is closer than the game really was. I was up 17-0 at half and they returned the kickoff for a touchdown to start the 2nd half and they didn't score again until 2 minutes left in the game. I'm really anxious to get into the off-season and get to recruiting! ;D

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

[GCQuinton]

I'll go ahead and throw this question out there now for the people around to answer it: what's everyone's schedule look like next week? Is a one night offseason even possible?

 

[MrCWS83]

I go back to work Friday so I'd say that's reasonable for me from now thru Thursday...
EDIT: a one night offseason I misread. I took it as one night a week. A one night offseason is doable but isn't there a 20 minute cap or something stupid on advances? I'm in

 

[BigAT]

Watching the Giants game Monday night, other than that I should probably be around.

It's 10, but that only applies during the regular season. Even if it didn't, that's the average time it took people to finish each around the few times we have done it.

 

[KanZolo]

i am against one day offseasons

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I don't mind either way, though I do lean towards the "advance every 4-6 hours thing" you did in the past seasons.

 

[Striker]

I am off Mon-Tues but it is probably better for all if its a two day event, or so.

 

[GCQuinton]

I mentioned this after we finished the last coaching carousel, but I'll repeat it now since we're closing in on it: unless a person gets a serious head coaching offer I'm forcing contracts and moving on to speed that process up.

 

[MrCWS83]

Yeah I figured that was the case

I'll keep checking in

 

[Nightz]

Sorry guys but I think I'm out. I love playing with you guys, but I just haven't been having fun the past 2 seasons. The way things are going, I'll probably be hopping around 1* programs that I have no interest in the rest of the dynasty. Sure I can take one and try to build it up, but I'm just so far behind everyone else and will probably just end up at 3* at most by the end of the dynasty, which will just get me back to where we started. I had no idea using SuperSim on the website the first season would screw me over so much.

Anyways, good luck to you guys the rest of the way. I'll most likely be back for NCAA 13.

Sorry to see you go, man. I just dropped you based off what you just said, but if you wanna sign back in as FIU to see if you're back for another year I can just make you an Independent. That way, you can basically do what I'm doing and scale up your level of competition as your team gets better (aside from the human games, of course).

Being a Florida school, you really shouldn't have any problems getting good/competitive that way in about two seasons.

You were dealt a shit sandwich. See ya next year

 

[BigAT]

Well, nothing went right that game. I couple of little things went wrong initially, got down early and then things quickly compounded themselves and it avalanched. That shotgun counter running shit really is near impossible to stop. GG Az.

Arizona State - 38
Rutgers - 3

My AT demons have finally been exorcised!

GG, man. I really only ran the counter 3 or 4 times. Mostly just ran up the gut and Lewis would shed a tackle or two for a good gain. But yeah, I got up early and basically just played keep away for the rest of the game.
