GG Eek. I feel like I made a ton of stupid mistakes in the first half that proved to be too much to get past. I had a hard time defending the 8 offensive linemen on the field plays until I made some adjustments in the second half, but it proved to be too little too late. Way too many third and long conversions on your part, very frustrating for my defense.

[GCQuinton]

Wonder what's been up with the dynasty website lately. Only my articles are getting posted.

[Nightz]

Any chance to extend the Sunday deadline by a few hours? Coming back from out of town that night and I have to go straight to my grandfather's viewing, which ends at 9 pm PST. I can play my game after that.

GG AT. I thought your comeback was inevitable but my secondary bailed me out. There were a few 3rd downs where I shouldn't have throw it but got lucky the defender in perfect position didn't turn his head.

May be related to the Game Recaps following the game's becoming inconsistent for completing on time, or without an attempt to Retry. Basically, EA's servers?

Completed my game, as well.

[Ramirez]

Ill get my game in this afternoon or tonight late.

Depends on the answer I get from this. What's the status on the following games?

Ole Miss (KanZolo) vs Fresno State (mik) Utah State (BabeSlayer) vs #3 Houston

Moreso KZ and mik's game than BabeSlayer's. If they're played today and you're last up, it'll have to get simmed.

[KanZolo]

I messaged him a couple hours ago but he hasn't been around.

Will probably be later tonight or tomorrow

[Ramirez]

Is this a bug? I have dudes who have High interest in a subject, but when I compare them with a school who is way below me, it'll give me 0 gain/0 negative from the other school. It's really boning me on a 5 Star Safety, like 3 of his options do this every week.

[KanZolo]

I've encountered that a few times as well.

And Whoever said the cpu does a better job at recruiting, must be real horrible.

As an experiment in my offline dynasty I simmed an entire year and the cpu managed 2 mediocre recruits. In the first week of re doing my recruiting board in the off season I got 4 guys when doing it myself.

And it was with a back to back to back national championship team with two #1 recruiting classes in past 2 years

Have you read the recruit response when it happened? I've had it happen to me and the recruit's quote was something like "I'm getting kind of sick of you bashing other schools." might be kind of a risk/reward kind of thing.

I usually get the "I never looked at it as a revolving door of coaches" or some equivalent.

[Lonestar]

I've been seeing the same. The articles are messed up. Other issues too, like being able to see other teams rosters or schedules, it's glitchy.

[mik]

I should be around most of the rest of the day, other than to eat dinner.

[GCQuinton]

Deadline's tonight! Sorry Nightz, not extending it.

[Nightz]

SuperSim is still crap. I'm dropping 100 on my next opponent.

[Striker]

If they don't play until late anyway, why not wait a little so he can play? Seems like no big deal to me. We're not in a rush.

[GCQuinton]

Looks like he already simmed it, but not being in a rush isn't the point. We're sticking to the deadlines to keep the pace up, otherwise they might as well not even be there and I can be like "play it when you can, guys!". People are gonna miss games for a variety of reasons through the year, but that's what the Autopilot and SuperSim options are there for (regardless of your personal feelings on them). A good part of you guys play your games during the night/early morning time, so in that respect delaying an advance for even one game (especially a CPU one) would slow that down.

[GCQuinton]

What's the deal with these last two games?

[KanZolo]

He didn't pm me yesterday, just posted in thread and I didn't see it. Pmd couple hours ago but haven't heard from him yet.

Small window to play this afternoon so it will probably have to be later in the evening

[mik]

If you can ever identify a time that will help. I don't usually see the drive-by "you around?" PM until I'm around much later. What time this afternoon looks good?

[KanZolo]

If you can ever identify a time that will help. I don't usually see the drive-by "you around?" PM until I'm around much later. What time this afternoon looks good?

So if I specified a time, you have responded sooner than 5 hours later? Would it have compelled you to PM me instead of posting in the thread as well?

It looked good to play about 3 hours ago. "you around" =are you around to play now

[mik]

Not trying to criticize. Just saying it might be more effective to say, "I can play on days x, y, and z, at times a, b, and c." that's all.

I can go now or at 1030 eastern

[mik]

I'll go hop on now.

[Ramirez]

Where's Babe?

[GCQuinton]

Where's Babe?

Playing now, it looks like. KZ and mik just finished.

[BabeSlayer]

Playing now, it looks like. KZ and mik just finished.

Looks like someone needs to reread the OP:

7. Weeks will be advanced immediately after everyone's games have been played, regardless of when the deadline is. This essentially means to take care of your recruiting ASAP, because I'm not waiting for you to do it.

[Ramirez]

Who has Striker been beating to get to number 5?!

[GCQuinton]

Who has Striker been beating to get to number 5?!

Everybody in his path! including NC State :(

[BabeSlayer]

Looks like someone needs to reread the OP:

Looks like someone needs to re-read my post with the proper LOL in there....wasn't placing blame just stating a fact you can settle down.

[Ramirez]

Alabama barely taken out, my inept offense is going to catch up with me sooner or later in these cpu games. I think I finally get my #1 WR back for the next game though, that should help.

Go ahead & give Avery his POTW prize, FF, 5 TKLS, 2 TFL, & a TAINT.

[BabeSlayer]

Btw you are welcome top 10 teams for knocking out Houston. :)

[Striker]

Who has Striker been beating to get to number 5?!

Only significant win poll wise has been SMU. Got fortunate versus BPH's Minnesota team too which had a really crazy 4th quarter.

Also, slipped by Toledo of all teams. They were stopping my run game really well - only limited Boykin to 3.6 YPC, and pushing Blakenship to just 2.3 for both backs' 35 runs. Got a few nice passes mixed in for TD's, and defense held in the last possession.

The CPU's no huddle has been hurting my defense lately, mostly by the pass. Doesn't help my Safeties are ass outside Kristoff, but they're getting burnt or out of position.

[GCQuinton]

Deadline's tonight.

[Big Papa Husker]

Playing tonight.

[KanZolo]

I'll be playing to tonight. Or tomorrow. Wednesday at the latest.

Yeah... he had to score with less than a minute to win. Stupid defensive lapse. :(

[GCQuinton]

BPH is playing now, so mik's last up.

[Ramirez]

Is it advancing tonight?

Welcome to NC State, Nathan Miller!

[Ramirez]

If Nathan Miller is the 5 star CB, then you can suck my dick sir.

Lost out on the Safety too because of that stupid bug. "GREAT POINT COACH!" 0 UK/ 0 Iowa

[GCQuinton]

The deadline's Wednesday, but let's not try not to actually take that long to play CPU games alright?

[Striker]

Completed mine. Safety Josh Kristoff had 8 tackles, sack, FF, and FR. Nice defensive day.

[Smokey]

If Nathan Miller is the 5 star CB, then you can suck my dick sir.

Lol

[GCQuinton]

It's on the brain since I'm getting PMs about conference moves, so I wanted to throw something else I've been thinking about out there:

How would you guys feel if I threw out the BCS conference designations and make all of the BCS Bowls at-large next season? It wouldn't be a playoff, but it would ensure the top team, no matter what conference, get their spot in those games.

Also, Az, mik, story and BPH are last up.
