I feel ya Alamo! I'm really digging The Big Red Machine...a.k.a Nebraska. I finally found my home away from home (since Notre Dame is taken). Right now I'm trying to dig up some incantation to make He Who Walks Behind The Rows my head of recruit scouting! (Malachi be all rollin' up on recruits with mangy *** and butcher knife) "Sign sinner!" LOL

Thanks for the add! Just did some recruiting for the buffs, now taking on ASU. Am I allowed to move onto the next week on my own or do i need dre to advance the dynasty? Cant wait to build this program up from scratch. Using kellys formula by starting in the trenches haha

Nothing advances until Dre (or whomever has commissioner power at the time) advances the dynasty to the next week.

Recruiting ala Brian Kelly doesn't work in this game. I go for pure speed skill players. Then I fill in around them.

But Mack Browning this **** is possible. Unless someones class changes dramatically, looks like Texas will have back to back #1 recruiting classes. I made a rundown of my recruiting strategy in post #148.

Alamo is right about speed, speed kills, speed wins.

However, I do have to say, I have no idea how Alamo manages to rack up the offensive numbers he does because they are just pretty much inhuman. Not because it isn't possible to get them with the right amount of speed and money plays, but because you wouldn't think Tulsa's defense would get him the ball back enough times and the quarter length would be enough for it.

Currently, he has nearly 1,000 yards rushing and over 6,000 yards in passing with his quarterback! His wideout has 3,000 yards receiving. That's just plain incredible and like nothing I have ever seen in a video game, so kudos to you Alamo.

Anyway, for the rest of us who are fairly pedestrian to normal at this game...I just dispatched the smart kids from Northwestern. Let them go back to working on their thesis and stay the hell off my football field! I got my slightly above average HB to over a 1,000 in rushing, so that's good. And I have to say, for being as hyped as he is, T-Mobile is just not that great. He's alright, but he sure as hell isn't as fast and good at the option / zone read as you'd think, nor is he tremendously accurate.

With regards to recruiting, it just depends on what your building your team for. If you want to chew clock, run the ball and play lights out defense über speed on offense isn't all that necessary. It's nice, but it isn't necessary. However, strength and stamina are. Defensively, having speed at the corners is essential, but size really isn't as physics plays dick for a role in this game. Your 5' 11" corner will be just fine against their 6' 5" receiver in the Red Zone. But, speed (especially at the LB spots) and above all awareness really are essential. I'm rebuilding this Nebraska unit because quite frankly there isn't one cat I would give a Black Shirt to. Maybe, and it's a big maybe, my LILB.

Thanks Dre....I appreciate the props...It's all about speed...and a QB that can throw the ball deep! I've got a couple of fast guys waiting in the wings. Year 3 is gonna be a rebuilding year of sorts for me.

Someday I'll have an elite offensive line and elite speed all around...that'll be fun!

My other dynasty has a player slacking like crazy so at the moment I am just itching to get back in as Nebraska and do some damage. That loss to Michigan State looms large to me because it might have knocked me out of a matchup with Wisconsin in the Big 10 title game. Technically, we aren't ready yet (still some holes to fill before we would have been serious Rose Bowl contenders) but it would be nice to have the opportunity to try for the upset on IrishLion!

Next season will see the advent of round robin scheduling (as long as that weird *** scheduling error doesn't occur again, giving us complete crap for games). Everyone will have one to two non-con games against other users and then the potential for matchups within their own conferences. I think that even putting a player vs. player on team schedules that feature another human in conference will be for the greater good. It will further weed out the true national championship contender and playing these very skilled human opponents will make us all better players. So, look for that next season! If anyone else wants in, we have just a couple slots left before we hit all 12. That would be badass having a full 12 butting heads!

Currently, we have seven players. If we could get one more active person to join we could have a nice eight teams to work with. This would be awesome as we'd have an even number for user vs. user games throughout the year. I guess we'll see...

Just as I'm set to have a down year! haha
I certainly hope we can get active guys to keep the dynasty flowing like HCTI's sweet mullet.

Got us an 8th. My best friend gave a verbal to sign up...as OU! He's a HUGE Sooners fan and from Tulsa. He's on the same level as I am really...so we're about middle of the pack compared to a few of you guys but I like to think playing some of you makes us better.

Hahaha... 'could always move Nebraska back! :D

Hahahaha!!! Yes! There is always the chance I will take another job anyway so it really doesn't matter! I'd love to bring Melvin Hawthorne III's air raid offense to the SEC.

This is my first big Tulsa recruiting class though!
First one was solid, but this one is gonna finish really good.

Thought I was going to get a steal in recruiting... had some extra hours/scouting time three or four dynasty weeks ago, so I scouted a 4 star RB from Hawaii for fun. I didn't need a RB, but I wanted to try to see if there were any hidden gems out there since I can fit 22 in this class.

As it turns out, low 4 star from HI went from 72 to 80 overall after scouting. B speed and acceleration became 96 speed and 94(?) acceleration. It looked like he had an ND offer, but his interest was still low. I guess our guy playing as ND started recruiting him a week before I did, and I BARELY missed out on him. The first time I've truly been upset at losing a recruit in a video game haha

Sounds like a stud I have coming in to Tulsa...but as a WR/DB
I scouted that RB too...and did some recruiting...but pulled the offer, ND had already gotten him interested enough to make it not worth my time to try for him.

Lemme see what he's doing and I'll make sure we advance tonight either way. Monday and Thursday evenings fellas...like mf'ing clockwork! (I say this not because we aren't doing a great job of it, because we are. It's more a reflection of my frustration with the dynasty my best friends and I play in. Been waiting four extra days for one of the guys.)

I was told I should join this dynasty. What kind of dynasty is it, who all is in it, and can I get an invitation?

Haha, that was quick!
We play on custom Heisman level sliders.

So do I. The hardest sliders on a regular basis. :) haha

I play in some tough leagues so I hope I can handle you clowns. ;)

Are there any rules on the selection of teams?

Whatever teams are available are fair game to choose.

They will be. The schedules will be featuring the toughest teams and a round robin format for human vs. human. Plus, some people are in the same conferences. We had EA bust out an error on us this season so our schedules aren't what they will be next season. Anyway, what's your PSN ID? You can also see the sliders we use on the first page.

Dynasty Advanced!

Craziest and most infuriating game EVER (by the way, interceptions are definitely working now).

Nebraska vs. Minnesota

I pick them off 5 times and lead by 28 going into the second half, and it's important to note they are not taking any **** off the run. Second half, they roll out 31 unanswered points to edge me out for the win. How? They picked me off three times and shut the run DOWN. Amazing...not sure I've ever seen anything like it. I controlled my own destiny on getting to the Big Ten Championship too.

Each time these guys take a step forward it's one step (at least) back.

With no competition they have no reason to improve anything.
If they just had an NFL competitor for Madden to play off of...then NCAA would benefit greatly as a byproduct of it.

You're killin me Dre! I could've really used a game against a highly ranked Nebraska in the B1G chamionship to improve my national title hopes....

That is, if I would have even beaten you of course haha. Can you still make the B1G championship, or will I be playing Iowa for the second year in a row?

Not sure really. I am behind Iowa, and I play them this coming week (you can be assured those ***holes are going to taste turf...dre is done f'ing around). But, they still have a one game lead on me in conference so they need to nosedive for someone else I believe. It's weird paying attention to the conference standings (since I've always played an Independent). It's all good though...Nebraska has some great pieces, and I actually managed to secure a decent recruiting class for what they need despite taking over mid-season. So, we're coming...just moving a bit slowly. :)
