Yea, I'm just ready to get back into some football.

[BabeSlayer]

Ok couple of things:

I wish this game so much would let you save in the middle of a game (kind of like NBA 2k12 etc) not having that is annoying.

I cannot find where to change what you guys were talking about so that I run out more clock when trying to run the clock out, any help would be nice :D.

I figured out how to get around the lockingup issue I was having it is a bug apparently that a lot of people are experiencing. Link to a discussion of the issue on the official forums.

Basically the best way to avoid the glitch is to play your games before you do your recruiting each week, however if you anything like me you recruit first. If you run into the glitch (when you go to play the game it will freeze in the loading screen after you pick your uniforms etc) If that is happening you can fix it by re-entering your recruiting screens and then going to play the game (what this does is creates another autosave point) for some reason that fixes the bug. I've ran into this quite a bit.

Have we confirmed what we are going to set the difficulty of recruiting and gameplay at? I'm assuming All-American for gameplay, but what about recruiting?

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get high scores when someone comes to visit the campus? Also what positive or negative effects does that score have, and where can I view that?

This game is addictive and my wife already hates it lol. She doesn't understand why recruiting is fun for me lol :D

[KanZolo]

Once you find out a recruits stance on a certain recruiting topic, and if your school is rated high in that category, you would want to focus on that topic during the visit.

Depending on your strengths and his interests, you'll get a grade on the visit.

Also do what you can and don't schedule during a bye and winning /losing also affects the visit grade.

The grade will affect his overall interest in your school, way more than a simple phone call and even promises

You hit RB (I believe that's it) when on the play calling screen to bring up your adjustments, go to the offensive set of adjustments (if you're not there already) and change Tempo to Conservative.

I'm pretty sure recruiting was also set at All-American last year.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get high scores when someone comes to visit the campus? Also what positive or negative effects does that score have, and where can I view that?

Score is based off two factors as far as I can tell. One is how much the recruit likes the three things you select, so obviously you want to go with ones that both interest the recruit (high, very high or most) and your school has a high grade in. The second is how well you do in the actual game on the week the recruit visits. Winning the game in a landslide seems to improve the visit score over barely winning or losing. Never schedule a visit during a bye week.

I haven't actually tried recruiting yet this year, so I have no clue if any of that has changed, but that's how it has been the last few years.

[KanZolo]

I think it's LB for the play style thing

[Azwethinkweiz]

Even EDSBS gets to start their dynasty before us!

Yeah, it's LB.

And you guys are the ones that wanted to wait!

[CB3]

So yeah, week 3 in the only active NCAA league on Gaf.

Hows it going in this chatroom over here?

Still tomorrow (or today for ET folks) last I heard. And again, you guys can't complain for something you wanted!

Yesssssssss, the chosen game

[GCQuinton]

Alright, so assuming the rosters go up tonight here's what's happening:

1. Invites go out tonight.
2. You'll have until tomorrow night at 11 ET to do your initial scouting/recruiting. Do it from the game or on the web, your choice. During this time, I'll work on the HG schedules.
3. I'll advance to start Season 1 after that, and the deadline for Week 1's games will be Saturday, July 21.

[Azwethinkweiz]

How does one do it online? I haven't been able to figure that out yet.

[Nightz]

Once the league is up and running, we will have our own page for our dynasty on the EA website. It should be pretty straightforward from there.

So can you do it online in your own offline dynasty?

[Nightz]

So can you do it online in your own offline dynasty?

Offline dynasty, no. You can create a 1 player online dynasty though. It works the exact same way, but you'll have access to the web stuff.

Well why the hell did I do it the other way....would have made these boring summer classes way more interesting....

[BigAT]

I think you might be able to save your offline dynasty and move it online. Or is it that you can save an online dynasty and move it offline?

[KanZolo]

I think you might be able to save your offline dynasty and move it online. Or is it that you can save an online dynasty and move it offline?

Last year I think they removed the feature to save an online dynasty for offline use. Or they hid it really good because I couldn't find it

[KanZolo]

As of 7//17/2012 at 10pm Eastern time, the 360 Rosters are officially out.

Plan according people.

[GCQuinton]

Invites will be going out immediately afterwards. Everybody sign in ASAP so I can set schedules!

[Azwethinkweiz]

You're not the boss of me!

[Striker]

I'm on. Are you just allowing time for redshirt, acquiring new recruits, and scouting?

"2. You'll have until tomorrow night at 11 ET to do your initial scouting/recruiting. Do it from the game or on the web, your choice. During this time, I'll work on the HG schedules. "

They actually added a ton of information in the My School section of recruiting, including explanations on what each category means and how to improve it. I recommend checking it out.

Most of my ratings are in the fucking dumps, having a first year coach certainly doesn't help.

[GCQuinton]

AT saved me from posting a "read the thread" post, lol. But yeah, without further ado...

Superior league with superior rosters is officially up and running! All invites have been sent out so get to it! Again here's the plan:

1. Invites go out tonight.
2. You'll have until tomorrow night at 11 ET to do your initial scouting/recruiting. Do it from the game or on the web, your choice. During this time, I'll work on the HG schedules.
3. I'll advance to start Season 1 after that, and the deadline for Week 1's games will be Saturday, July 21.

Let's roll!

[GCQuinton]

Coach Cowher has officially come home to his alma mater and will lead the NC State Wolfpack to the promised land! But I really doubt he would have a D Coach Prestige rating to start with....

And holy wow, my job with scheduling just got a lot easier. There's now an option for me to set a target amount of user games for everybody in the scheduling section and the game takes care of it from there! No more slaving for hours on schedules!

[Nightz]

Keeping with the theme of coaches coming out of retirement...John Madden has decided to come back and coach the San Diego State Aztecs, where he once coached under the legendary Don Coryell.

[Azwethinkweiz]

You jackasses stole my idea!



Future hall of famer Brian "Weapon X" Dawkins has come out of retirement to coach the Kansas State Wildcats. A Clemson Alum and native to South Carolina, Dawkins was asked why he didn't choose Clemson to make his coaching debut. He responded "Clemson has a great staff and they are doing a great job down there. Kansas State needed someone and they felt like I was the right man for the job." Asked on whether he would take the job at Clemson were the position to become open, he said "I love Clemson and South Carolina is my home, but right now I'm just trying to win a championship for K-State."

[Ramirez]

I didn't realize K-State was ranked 13th in the game...

[GCQuinton]

BPH, mik, and BabeSlayer are last to sign in. Once they do, we're off and running since I won't be taking long with the schedules anymore.

I'm sure he knows it, but a loss can easily change that...

Week 4!

How are you kids doing. Looks like your having fun over here

[Nightz]

Week 4! How are you kids, doing. Looks like your having fun over here

I don't think you can be calling us kids with a sentence structure like that lol.

Anyways, the site looks kinda promising. Couple of new tabs that weren't there before. I just hope that recruiting over the web isn't borked like last year.

Edit: 11/12 teams signed in.

[Big Papa Husker]

Well this blows... LaMonte Edwards is nowhere to be found. WTF?!

[Azwethinkweiz]

Hope you guys are ready for the pistol! I've switched out of the weird offset shotgun from last season and have moved over to a new offensive philosophy!

[Striker]

Man, Bobcats receivers are ass. Make the Eagles group in the early McNabb days look good. :(

I'll be done with my stuff tonight, just in case it doesn't light up green or something.

[Ramirez]

I'm done with my scouting.

[BabeSlayer]

trying to do recruiting online doesn't seem to be working :(

Can't browse or anything, anyone else having better luck?

[BabeSlayer]

Gary Anderson vows to lead Utah State into a new era of prosperity, the WAC will get WACed

[KanZolo]

Well this blows... LaMonte Edwards is nowhere to be found. WTF?!

According to my research, he is a LB now.

[GCQuinton]

According to my research, he is a LB now.

Yeah, looks like he switched over last year. And he is on the Minnesota roster so look harder BPH!

[GCQuinton]

Notes From the Commish: Alright, folks. Time to get this thing started! Thanks to the newly added "Win!" button known as the auto set user games option, this wasn't as bad as it's been known to be for me. As always though, there are a few disclaimers to get out of the way about the schedule to minimize the amount of complaining that I have no doubt will come in some form or another. 1. SEC Teams (Ole Miss and Kentucky) only have three user games this season. This is something I totally should have caught based on moving teams around last year, but due to the SEC having 14 schools, it took one scheduling spot away from me. Starting next season, if both users (KanZolo and Ramirez) are still here I'll make them protected rivals to remedy this. 2. Related to the above, I've made the decision to ignore the real life conference changes going forward in this league. We'll do our own thing. 3. Big 12 Teams (Kansas, Kansas State) don't have games in Week 1. For storybook this'll probably work out, but I imagine I'll hear something from Az. It was either that or give you less human games, so I chose the former. 4. Aside from that the usual song and dance comes into play as far as scheduling goes (more home than away games or vice versa, crazy or consecutive byes, etc.). You guys should be used to it by now. I think that's everything, but if I missed something I'm sure someone will let me know. So with all of that out of the way, let's roll!
