Since the nerdfest known as E3 will shut us down soon, I felt the need to start this thread. Here are some interesting things to ponder via a Q&A format.
Q: When does the game come out and when does the dynasty start?
A: July 12th and as soon as everyone signs in. I'd probably say it starts by July 15th assuming the rosters are out by then (which they were out within a few days last year).
Q: How long will the league last?
A: Depends on interest. We played 6 seasons last year. I felt like we could have gotten a couple more seasons out of it but we had to put that dog down.
Q: How many players are in this league and who are they?
A: 12 players. See at the very bottom of this post to see the probable participants.
Q: Any rules?
A: Of course. We play with sim rules but just not as strict as madden. This is college ball afterall, a lot of stuff is more acceptable. Shotgun all game, 4 and 5 receiver sets most of the time, scrambling a lot, etc etc. If you can't deal with this type of progressive thinking then you are probably a closed minded "respect the sanctity of marriage" asshole!
Q: Is this a major time commitment?
A: It is what you made it. There are the games each week, recruiting time each week, a full off-season of switching player positions, cutting players, convincing players not to go pro, etc. A lot of these items you can have the CPU do for you, so if you truly didn't care you could speed through it. But if you want to make the most of the experience then it can be time consuming.
Q: How quickly does this league advanced compared to other leagues?
A: Extremely fast. Often times we would have weeks advance within a 24 hour period. You might think this is ridiculous, but keep in mind we only have 12 people involved so things can move faster if everyone is motivated.
Q: How do sliders work?
A: There are full sliders in the game. Last year, I made good use of these sliders but PERHAPS I jumped the gun to change things at times. I.e. "hey I had a bad rushing game! Bump up the blocking!" This time around we'll come up with some sliders to start and ride them out for at least a few games and see what might need changing.
Q: Will we use custom conferences?
A: Yes.
Q: Any restrictions on teams?
A: Nope.
Q: What features were cut for online dynasty that are in single player?
A: None! It is a replica of the single player dynasty. Madden could learn a thing or thirty from them.
