If you restart because a game isn't going your way, it should be an automatic loss to start and then numerous penalties on top of that. What reason could you have to restart a game 3 times? Like Owl said, I have only had a couple of times I ever have had to restart a game because of power loss or whatever and have usually posted about it as it happened.

Unfortunately there's no way to tell.
You need 3 restarts if you really suck or are missing your starting qb and hb or in Babe's case, both.
Oh, really? I thought that wasn't up for discussion last season?
I don't think I'd ever say that regarding modifying anything, but at the time the majority was cool with it. But enough people complained about it eventually, though, that I changed it.
Still waiting to hear from BS on that since there's no way I can tell what happened, but the worst I could do in that situation is throw his results out. He could still get the win from a sim. But yeah, that would be in addition to my penalty for it. But 3 jumps out at you.
In other news, NC State is officially bowl eligible with our last win over Maryland. Our game against UNC next week is a big one.

I believe when it says 3 restarts it means you've played a total of 3 times, or 2 real restarts. I know this because it has said 2 restarts for me in the past when I've had to replay a game.
Yeah from some reason 2 restarts means 2 starts, at least in previous years.

Came close to pulling off the upset but Landry went into beast mode in the 2nd half.

Well that's one Top 10 team down. Good luck to the other two in making some changes to the Top 25 landscape. With Oklahoma missing their center and speed back, the time for upset is ripe! The question is if Wisconsin's "probable" speed back will shrug off that broken tailbone.

Looks like it was a couple big plays that did the most damage. Those ones are the toughest.

Ha! Sorry storybook
Didn't know they weren't allowed, wasn't ok with my already back up QB being injured as well, can't remember why the second time. Fine with implementing a rule, just figured I'd take advantage since didn't know it was an issue.

I made the mistake of reading some of the foolishness over at Operation Sports. Some people will just never be happy.
NCAA before: "God I wish they would get of the unrealistic spidey sense of the LBs and secondary"
NCAA now: "My secondary plays like garbage. They make too many mistakes. Why aren't they playing exactly like they are supposed to on every play?!?!"
I refuse to believe these people watch games week in and week out on tv save for Sportscenter. I mean how many TDs are scored because someone played the wrong assignment or bit up on a shallow route in zone while another guy ran behind them.
Yes, there are some quirks but it seems that might be addressing those in the update but overall I feel its the best "feel" of the passing game both offensively and defensively we've ever had.

Lemme get this straight...you deliberately restarted a game TWICE because a player got hurt and didn't think it would be an issue? Did somebody seriously have to tell you this when you're playing in a sim league? If you can't do it against a human player why would you even think to do it against the CPU?? I'm giving you a warning solely on that.

Really just want some of the glitches fixed I haven't ran into too many actual gameplay problems. I view those people the same way I view the Dota 2 or SC2 balance trolls they will never be satisfied.

Fair enough. Sorry for the problem.
I feel like the defense is borderline retarded, especially in human games. It's nigh impossible to stop anyone unless you pick them off, and with the nerfs to manual D it's not even easy to do that...

In other news got my game in early no restarts
no restarts I know, BPH usually isn't last. But the BabeSlayer stuff, too.

A lot of college defenses ARE borderline retarded!
Yea, but I'm talking about dudes spinning circles while standing in place while someone runs by them, 2K style.

Dat Lane Kiffin sales pitch.
Same here so far, but I also have another six guys that I'm currently first for so that should change in the next few weeks.
And back off of Mike Romero, Striker! He ain't goin' to Ohio!

UPSET CITY! I just beat #3 Wisconsin 9-3. I intercepted their QB 4 times and completely stuffed their running game. Heh, neither team had 100 yards of total offense. LOL

Did you get the tire fire achievement?

Just an FYI, it's going to say I restarted (and I did) but it's because the game locked up. I was winning and I kicked a field goal as the half ended. Since it was a score I guess they thought they had to do an in-game score update and it locked up during the update. Don't know if that's a bug where it locks up during an update while trying to go to halftime at the same time.
#23 NC State gets their first shutout of the Bill Cowher era, blanking #17 North Carolina 38-0. Really wasn't expecting that but my secondary stepped up bigtime to rattle their redshirt freshman QB. He's already rated an 80, though, so I imagine he's gonna be a problem down the line.

Ok someone's going to have to link to the thread where all this started.
I've had an issue where it freezes on your playcall screen, but you just press B to go back to your formations.
Anywho, defense took care of the Miami Redhawks. Outside one deep pass the defense thoroughly contained, and kept the pressure up. My ends like to tire out fairly easily, for some reason, despite them hardly being on the field (nearly 5 mins). My LT allowed his 7th sack, dang turnstile out there

If I'm the last one to play just go ahead and sim. I won't let my shitty Jayhawks hold everyone else up. lol
The other two games are being played now, so yeah you're last up. You planning on getting it in the next hour or so or do you still wanna sim?
