I thought we were shooting for two player versus player games. Was that unattainable?

In addition to those, couldn't we add say..

Nebraska v. Texas
Notre Dame v. Tennessee
Wisconsin v. BC
Tulsa v. Oregon

I know it's more complicated than that, but two would be tits, if possible.

So far we haven't had any problems with cheese play. Everyone has been upstanding members of the dynasty. 4th and 2? Would you do it in real life?

I'd imagine if anyone starts squib kicking to glitch return men into falling on their own 10 yard or going for it 100% of the time on 4th regardless of field position, they'd find they're not welcome any longer.

2 point conversion: Does it make sense from a football point of view? It's a common sense solution, thus far. We haven't had to specify specific rules since no one has abused that privilege.

Demonstrate good sportsmanship and you should be fine.

That's what I wanted to hear. Can't stand running into the 4th and 9 first quarter going for it slants over The middle kinda guys.

Don't get me wrong. You'll still find some aggressive play, just not the kind of bullshit you described. A lot of the aggressiveness shifts from year to year with each version of the game's yearly quirks. We have some more realistic sliders from operation sports that we've tweaked, but by and large the it's still NCAA 2013. We had a couple 6000+ yard passing attacks last season, on account of the long ball being insane against DB's this year, but we also have some smash mouth defenses that overload gaps and vary up their blitzes (have no idea who that is /*smirk*/). Wisconsin will run the ball. They are big. Really good mix of contrasting play styles. It's been a blast so far! Welcome to the fray!

Yeah I've gotten use to the sliders. Offense hasn't been a problem.. Defense on the other hand..should to be interesting

Yeah, I hear it can be a bit shocking to encounter that fearsome Wisconsin rushing attack after seeing the dominance of some of the passing attacks around the nation :)

Logging on now to get everything set!
Just got home!

We're all pretty respectful here.
I did one fake punt all season, against Andy...but I was on the side of the 50 I wanted to be on. It turned out to be a game winner.

And the EA servers are, as usual, all screwed up.

I'll get it done tonight as long as EA gets sh*t up and running.

If someone wants to go for it on fourth against me, I don't really care. It's my job to stop them. Same with going for two.

If I'm in a defensive battle, like the natty against Andy in our first season, I'll kick every time. But I'm no defensive guru like some of you either, so if I'm past the fifty and I feel like there will be all of the points scored, I'll go for it if it's 4 and 4 or less early on.

In my defense, I believe in real life that the opportunity to convert on 4th and 4 or less is worth the risk if you are past the fifty. There was an article about a coach who went into the statistics of 4th down % vs field position/field goals/punt, and basically it boils down to 15 or 20 yards net difference if you don't convert. Mathematically it almost doesn't make sense to punt or kick a field goal past the 50 when you have the opportunity to put up 7 points.

I may go for it if I'm past the 45, but I rely on my defense so it's situational. I think what we're all opposed to is what we see from some online cheese players, going for it on 4th backed up against their end zone.

Except Beau, but he has a valid argument. I tend to disagree, but that's mostly framed around the notion that the people that do that are the same people who utilize the DB glitch, etc.

When I had xbox four years ago and started playing online games for the first time, there was this ridiculous kickoff glitch where they would line up like up normal but the ball would go stright up at about 15 yards, and it was nearly impossible to field whether you were in standard or onside return. It was frustrating, and I was ranked in the top 200 online before these jokers all figured it out. And xbox never fixed it lol.

I know of the squib glitch now, but I'm not aware of any other current "glitches" that people may be taking advantage of. I've played quite a few online games recently, but haven't run into any trouble yet (aside from one fvcker who kicked onside on all of his kickoffs, so I got up big late and denied his mercy).

Season is Live!

Sorry Andy, I didn't realize we wanted more than one user vs. user since most people are in conferences together. Like for example, I have Beau and then perhaps Lion if I get to the Big 10 game.

SMH...I don't know if this dynasty file is screwed or what but once again EA screwed up the schedules I crafted. It also might have been the outage early...it's close to when I launched. So, yay, some of us have some crappy games on the sked....thanks for being a POS, EA.

I don't know what the **** is going on with this screwed up scheduling since I'm saving it the proper way each time. But, all that really matters is that we have some really ***** schedules. Texas is playing Arkansas State late in the season type games. How does anybody else feel about this? I'm pissed.

Only eleven games again, no good ooc games, and no user-vs-user until the B1G championship.

FVCK YOU EA SPORTS. Washington State, Bowling Green, and an FCS school? Really?

B1G better be strong this year lol.

I'd love an FCS school on my schedule! haha I need some chances to warm up and learn my new offensive cast.

First game is against Texas...

Gonna be some growing pains!
And the "Practice" mode doesn't let you use your custom playbook...LAME

I looked over my schedule serveral times and I believe I don't see anyone in the regular season. Assuming had to do with the server being buggy as mentioned before by dre

Guess there's no excuse in Eugene this year. Control my own fate..

On the bright side, I just trusted the website (scary, right?) enough to do my recruiting at work, and did get five 4-star prospects to insta-commit. Not a bad start to the recruiting wars!

Yeah, our schedules were pissed before when I did them. Now they're a total waste because other teams strength of schedule can out muscle us. Then there's your BS simulated loss in the NCG...

That's another thing I'm worried about. If they didn't fix the scheduling issue, I bet they sure as hell haven't even noticed anything that would make a user-vs-user natty freeze up every time Wisconsin kicks and/or ND returns.

I guess I won't know until the B1G championship (if we both take care of business and get there. Though I see no big challenges with the schedules in conference lol).

Hopefully it was a one-time freak thing, and it doesn't turn into a recurring issue when Wisconsin plays another user.

It's EA Sports.
They already have our money, they won't fix anything at this point in the year...but they will release new uniforms now and then to make themselves more money.

Absolutely. I don't know why EA has it in for this dynasty file...it's consistent too because it took out most of the ranked opponents and user games but replaced them with FCS crap games. My other dynasty hasn't encountered this problem (knock on simulated wood grain). It pisses me off though because we're all good enough skill players of some level that these fluff games are a complete waste of time. They get stats, but do absolutely nothing toward our march to the title game.

Plus, I do a pretty thorough job fitting games in and creating some good game match ups for everyone and EA basically wipes their *** with it. I'm not sure what the glitch was for Irish and Domers in the NCG...I haven't seen too much word on that, but it doesn't surprise me. Last year it was created playbooks you couldn't use in the NCG (which was dumb as hell considering it's a big "feature" and all).

If it were up to me I'd totally dump this file and start a new dynasty just because it seems to be local to this file (or at least so I've seen so far). But, that would be unfair to everyone who's put in the time and effort to build their teams. Some would say that starting over wouldn't solve anything and they would probably be right. But, what I do know, is that in my other dynasty I am in season five and have yet to experience the random team swapping on the schedule like I am with this dynasty file. It just doesn't make sense...you know, the way EA approaches customer service.
