NCAA 13 XBOX 2 Star Season 1 Week 9

Pages

Hey, guys, I'm headed out of town for 10 days on Wednesday. I don't *think* it should cause any delays whatsoever. I'm pretty much full on the recruiting front, so the last few weeks won't affect me much, and I can do that from the web.

I'd like to deal with the cutting and position reassignments myself, but I don't suspect we'll get to that until the very end of my trip (if not before).

Any chance we can try having you guys drop from the dynasty and be reinvited? I hear Shag would like to fill in as commissioner to make that happen (since Zell can't drop without killing the dynasty or handing off to someone else).

I fear this dynasty will go the way of the Dodo if we don't try to get some action going. I really like my IU team, so I'd like to see it continue!

I came across another possible fix for problems with the Championship game:

It is possibly the formation subs glitch. If a user is playing another user in the Championship game and one of you have set a substitution using formation subs, then the game will freeze. Reset your subs to default before starting the game and you should have no issues. You can sub the players in after the game starts I believe.

Zell wanna try for tomorrow or Friday night 9pm? We can reset the subs (I don't use formation subs) and try to play. If not sim it and lets move on to season 2.

If you guys didn't play, let's just roll the league!

To be honest guys. My enthusiam is seriously waining on the football leagues. If we don't get this thing rolling again, I may just drop out and hope for better next year. Sorry to be the bad guy here. I understand people get busy but it has been almost a couple of months already.

Zell, are you around? Let's find a way to roll this forward to keep Shag in the loop! If we can't play the national championship, I say roll without at this point.

had a lot of personal things happen last month. Was not on that often. Commish rights have been transferred and I have resigned from the League. Good luck gentlemen.

Zell. I understand about being busy. Thank you for your time and hopefully when things calm down and we are still playing you can join back in!

Zell – Sorry to hear things have been so hectic/rough this last month. Hope all is well.

I've set my coaching status, trying to resign a contract with IU. Not quite sure what's happening, though. For the rest of the offseason, IU is essentially full up with recruits, so I say blow through the weeks unless someone really needs new players.

I say after the offseason we start a new thread!

I'd like to announce that no matter what happens with the BCS league, that I will be returning to Temple for Season II.

I am going to sign back up tonight. I was so tired when I got home last night that I fell asleep until the wife came home at 10pm.

Yeah, great news! I'm finding my 2* IU team a lot more compelling than my BCS league team, Iowa. Plus I had a better recruiting year in this league than the other. Let's get this rolling!!

So, what should our plan be for the season? Should we up the difficulty somewhat? Should all of our teams be in one conference? Should we put our teams in the SEC?

I haven't given it nuch thought. We could put everyone in the SEC but I am not sure if bar is still in. If it is just us 3 (firesloth, ksuh and myself) then I say we put one in each big conference and see how it turns out come bowl time.

I was just thinking of blowing by the offseason and just move straight to the schedule and conference changes. If people want to join back in or during the season then so be it.

I definitely agree with this. As I said, I don't really have any major recruits outstanding (I think I've given out all of my scholarships).

Position changes is really the main thing I want to be able to do.

If we did one per conference, doing a round-robin pairing for out-of-conference games would be fun.

With it only being the four of us, we could play everyone at some point. I will wait to hear from Kush and roll the league tomorrow at some point.

Done with players leaving. I lost 7 transfers and only managed to keep a HB. All complained about playing time, and most were freshmen. I wish they'd let you see your depth chart at this stage, because I couldn't really make a decision to promise a lineman playing time not knowing who was ahead of him.

Oh well...I've got some good recruits, which is probably why they're bailing on me.

What I have done in my offline league is set my substitution rate really high so everyone gets a chance to play. Even the third stringers in some cases when I am blowing out an opponent. I may do the same for the online team this year as well. It should take care of the people complaining about playing time.

So, did they fix the bug this year that kept your starters from coming back? I've not changed the substitution options since getting the game. In previous years, when you did that, your starters could disappear late in the game and never get subbed back in (especially HBs and LBs).

Position changes done.

As far as I know, they come back. If you put in the 2nd string when your guy gets tired the 3rd string guy is then the guy that comes in. I like that because more people get a chance to play and makes everyone happy.

We are now onto positions changes and then we will move to cutting players. Once we move onto me working on the schedules, I will start a new thread.

We are noe on to cut players. Once we move on it will be to custom conferences and then schedules and recruiting. After the cut players, there will be a new thread.

I'll get mine done in the next few hours

Done with cuts.

I'm glad that I lost so many players to transfers, as I had to cut from 83 to 70 even AFTER losing 7 transfer players. Those 7 were mostly O-linemen, and they were right: they weren't going to get playing time.

I ended up jettisoning 3 DTs from the freshman class, as my starting DTs are going to be a sophomore and a freshman...no chance those 3 were going to break into the lineup. I guess you can just call me Nick Saban giving my over-signing...

We have moved on to the pre-season. You may now start on your recruiting lists.

firesloth.... just to let you know what I did. I moved Kush (Temple) from C-USA to the ACC. I also moved Rutgers and Penn State to the ACC as well for rivalry purposes. I moved Maryland to the Big10 and moved Duke, Army and Navy to the Big East. There are only two independent teams and they are Notre Dame and BYU.

New thread coming shortly if I can find some time from actually doing my work.
