By the end of your OD last year, had most of you built your teams up to top tier schools?

I got Minnesota from 3* to 6*.

"Games Left" Update:

Arizona State (Az) vs Oregon State (mik)
Miss State (storybook77) vs Georgia

Looks like both are being played tonight, so we're good to go there.

EDIT: Just double checked after Striker's post, and yeah there's his one game with BigAT. Based on what he said I'll keep the prelim deadline at two nights, though.

 

[Striker]

I think AT and I play in Week 6. That said I should be able to play today, tonight, or tomorrow anyhow.

I was going to play last night after a long shitty day but then I got home, played a game in my offline dynasty and lost to Tennessee so I decided not to tempt fate.

I'll play tonight though.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Hey Mik, it's looking like I may be about 30 minutes late getting in tonight. Is that ok?

 

[mik]

Yup. 9:30 ET is still fine for me.

 

[Ramirez]

You gonna be a round to advance when they're done Quinton?

 

[MrCWS83]

Ramirez is relentless! Everytime I'm on here checking in you're lurking for it to be advanced haha

 

[MrCWS83]

Just downloaded aim, MrCWS83 is my name if you want to add me

 

[BigAT]

Striker, not sure that I can play tonight. I should be around most of tomorrow though.

 

[Ramirez]

Yea, I guess it's because I'm used to the other guys pace, lol.

Yea, I guess it's because I'm used to the best leagues pace, lol.

Oh you.

 

[GCQuinton]

We'll see how fast they're advancing this time next month.

 

[CB3]

3 days as opposed to the 1 to 2 day rate we're going now? i can live with that.

 

[Ramirez]

We'll see how fast they're advancing this time next month.

I guess it depends on how good/bad Madden is.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

GG, Mik. Quite possibly my worst offensive showing ever. Got that lucky fumble return for a TD and that's it. You probably should've turned off the aggressive line play on that last drive, but I figured if your guys wanted to jump the snap, I'd take advantage.

 

[mik]

It was never on aggressive. In fact, for the second batch of four (!) encroachment penalties, I had it set to conservative. So that was pretty rad.

 

[Ramirez]

Someone put the Quinton signal on.

Sorry man. I knew earlier it was screwy when I missed the field goal and it let me keep the ball, so I punted it to you. If I knew this was messed up, I would've stopped doing it.

 

[Striker]

[mik]

Nothing wrong with what you did. I wonder if it was some kind of weird HFA thing or something. I have honestly never seen that before though--even when the D is set to aggressive.

And yeah, the missed FG thing was just bizarre. EA Sports--it's in the game!

[Ramirez]

Oh, I didn't drop out of the top 25, shock and awe.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Game wouldn't upload at the end of my recruiting and now I lost all my time spent this week. Enjoy your free ESPN 150 WR, Nightz!

 

[Striker]

Still no commits.

 

[Nightz]

Barely managed to squeak out the win and all I have to say is screw Oregon! LaMichael James getting some crazy runs and the team scoring right away after I would score in the fourth. Talk about rubberbanding.

Need to stock up on wins before I go away on Sunday, so hopefully we can advance at least one more time before then. I'll be buying the SuperSim from the web pack so I'll see how that works out while I'm out of town.

 

[Ramirez]

Man, I'm so pissed I let LSU beat me, woulda been sweet heading into my human games to be undefeated...

I felt like I was playing a random online user against SC, Garcia was trying to scramble cheese me all game.

I've only had one commit Striker. =\

 

[MrCWS83]

Wow that was a swift kick to the ball sac I just took. I finally turned off auto strafe like some of you had mentioned before. But that would not have made the difference. Throwing 5 F***ing interceptions had more to do with it. Oh well, just come back for the next game

[TheCrow]

I've forgotten how much fun recruiting can be. Looking to recruit some 5/4 star players that are reaches in both leagues but I might barely get them.

 

[KanZolo]

Leaving for vacation. Will be back sunday. Sim to your hearts content.

 

[GCQuinton]

You sure? Even if we did advance tonight, you should be able to get your game in on Sunday before another advance.

 

[MrCWS83]

He said sim to your hearts content...so sim away!

I'm guessing Ramirez would say something like that once he saw that post! Just having some fun with you bro

 

[Big Papa Husker]

A super early "Damn, We Just Advanced Last Night" Games Left Update:

I'll play within an hour.

 

[Ramirez]

lol, hey you guys waited on me when I went on vacation, I can only offer the same courtesies.

If we did advance tonight, I wouldn't be able to play until really late, probably midnight-1 EST BPH. I'm free Sat./Sun. however, would just need to get the wife's approval to play the game quickly.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I'm done.

 

[BigAT]

Game wouldn't upload at the end of my recruiting and now I lost all my time spent this week. Enjoy your free ESPN 150 WR, Nightz!

My game hard froze while uploading my recruiting data, is this a thing? Thankfully it appears that everything went through though.

 

[BigAT]

GG Striker. I wasn't able to contain your running game at all really. It seemed like I had my safety in position to make plays, but I was always getting blown up by your FB or a pulling guard. My LBs didn't really play the outside runs very well either.

The play where your LB shot into the backfield and grabbed the ball out of mid-air on the HB toss was so absurd I couldn't do anything but laugh. Getting down 10 was rough, it made me force things more than I would have liked and only hurt my chances of a comeback.

Edit: Looks like Storybook is the last one left.

 

[Striker]

GG BigAT.

That tossed-rush LB fumble was way weird. I was pissed my WR didn't cut in more on that last possession, and I get it back immediately because of that. Felt more like EA gave me that set of series instead of earning it.

Almost felt to lose that away, but defense did a decent job in the end. I can't get first downs to end the game or control it for some reason. I get pushed to pass and I fail.

Oh, and my only marquee offensive player (one of the top 10 leading rushers as far as I knew) is now out for the season with a broken wrist, of all things. At least I got CPU left, but my backup is terrible.

 

[GCQuinton]

Looks like Storybook is the last one left.

Just kidding!

 

[Striker]

Internet issues. posting from my phone. may not be here til Monday. will try to update when i can.

EDIT: Nevermind. Pause that for now. I guess this area has been having connection trouble.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Yup, that's when mine froze. It looks like I made all my calls, but I know I set some recruiting visits and they're not showing up. That's why I figure it's not going to give me credit for anything.

 

[storybook77]

Going to play mine before I go to bed tonight! Pushy bastards! :jnc

[Ramirez]

Husker, can you play late tonight, or does tomorrow work better?

 

[Nightz]

If you guys do another one-day advance tomorrow and let me get to both USC and Utah before I leave on Sunday, I will love you forever.

 

[GCQuinton]

If story plays his game after midnight EST, I won't be around to advance till the morning so I wouldn't go planning for any human games just yet.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Husker, can you play late tonight, or does tomorrow work better?

Sunday would work best because I will be out of town tomorrow.

 

[Ramirez]

Alright.
