smokey you are one boring fuck why can't you pick oklahoma or even osu

[CB3]

3 will probably be the base. Though id expect it to move faster than that because of cpu games

[LukeSmith]

I'm still FSU just want to reconfirm. Also how's the timeframe going to be? 3 days in between advance or more/less...

We advanced pretty fast last year. We were multiple seasons ahead of the other league. This usually advances faster than Madden

oh u mean why cant i be a band wagoner? not everybody takes after miami fans

[FrenchMovieTheme]

smokey you're going to get fucked up if you use houston and then you'll quit. pick someone else for gods sake!

you think you can run with the big dogs because you beat up on teams like kansas and purdue and cal but what you don't realize is that when you get a powerhouse like alabama or usc going against your scrubs, it doesn't matter if you are better on the sticks or a better passer or whatever, you're going to likely lose the game

[CB3]

Barkley is a 98

it's really not that serious

[Lonestar]

and now FMT just disappears during a game?

[ph33nix]

it's really not that serious

it is when you inevitably bitch out when madden comes out

[Smokey]

slurp slurp hows it taste

[Ramirez]

lol

[Mrbob]

Smokey you are going to have an all CPU conference schedule. Is Houston still on Conference USA or do they move to the Big East this year? Either way it will be full of cream puff CPU opponents. Might be boring.

[Smokey]

scrubbiest league this year (cusa)
scrubby league next (beast)

[Mrbob]

I know CB doesn't want to move teams, but I think for the purpose of potential human/human bowl games we should have 4 Big 10 teams, 4 Pac 10 teams, and 4 SEC teams.

Smokey you really play that Conference USA/ Big East garbo?

[CB3]

Denied.

[Mrbob]

That's fine. On the flip side, I have Livewire in the Leaders division. It's like having another CPU opponent to trample on a yearly basis.

[Lonestar]

heh, nice welcome back game :lol

First time I've seen the game call a flag on illegal touching (think the WR went out of bounds and came back in)

[CB3]

i have no problem moving teams that are split into divisions in conference.

[Smokey]

Put me down as TCU then if UH being in CUSA is gonna end up being boring and/or screwing something up. I'd like to stay in Texas and I refuse to play as a fucking Aggie so TCU is next best thing.

sorry bout that, my neighbor knocked on the door and needed my help with something :/

[Sokantish]

screens seem kind of useless in NCAA, or am I missing something?

they aren't useless at all, especially WR screens

[Sokantish]

Maybe it's the ones this Road to Glory has picked for me then because usually its a WR screen with only one other WR over there and then they get tackled within a few yards

[FrenchMovieTheme]

depends on the call that the defense has on. if they are bumping you with man D its probably going to fail badly because they'll be right on your WR when he drops back.

ask smokey if WR screens work though :D

Why is scumbag bowl ineligible USC rated 2 overall?
Why is Penn State rated 5 stars?
How does the game get a 97 OVR from 93 offense and 91 defense?

1. usc is bowl eligible this year
2. that rating has to do with their ability to cover up child abuse
3. special teams is rated 108

I love me some xbox. I will play with an Ohio School. I bought the game from Amazon and should have it by Friday. I like a challenge so I may play with Akron.

[CB3]

Amazon had release day shipping Why friday.

[nateeasy]

I did not see an option for release date delivery when I preordered it.

[CB3]

Their 2 day delivery is the release day delivery now.

[Ramirez]

Who wants a game?

[nateeasy]

Their 2 day delivery is the release day delivery now.

Good to know. After reading more posts in this thread I will go with Ohio State.

[CB3]

2-2. Not bad for my first 4 games.

Are you ready to admit manual D sucks in this game? :P

[CB3]

its probably more akin to realistic than sucks. You cant just stop on a dime when you are accelerating quickly. The momentum is different. it will take some adjusting.

Yea, well in a videogame, the offense is already at a huge advantage, making the D more realistic only makes it harder for them to stop the O. :(

[CB3]

It seems like there are some things in place to even it out. Defenders catch balls thrown to them WAY more often now. I learned that real quick

anytime you want another lesson lemme know

seriously though the lead passing feature gets more use now than ever because of what CB said.

[Sokantish]

I should probably play at least one real game before the franchise starts, I keep playing Road to Glory so I haven't even played an actual game yet

[Smokey]

Relegated to middle of 2nd page, day after release?

sad story

[Ferny]

Relegated to middle of 2nd page, day after release? sad story

Until the league actually starts, I don't see much discussion really happening in here. I think it's safe to say most of us got it strictly for the league anyway.

[CB3]

There isnt much to talk about until the league is up and running.

Which i thought i had going with FMT last night when he was seemingly halfway through and disappeared.

Surprised? No

Pointless creating it until we had a full league

[CB3]

Yeah cause no one wants to look at the recruiting board. No one!

[CB3]

We're doing custom conferences. I didnt want to but there is no other real way around it with the teams selected
