Sure. Play the game that you know will actually work first I suppose.

As long as Shag is available to hold our hands through the kicking/inviting process....

So when Auburn and Oregon played the National Title game, they must have not reported to the public how Oregon and Auburn were kicked out of the BCS and then reinvited back....

I wonder....EA sports, It's in the Game!

The good thing is that if it was tonight, I wouldn't be available until 7:30pm. Tomorrow, I will be home to help out.

**fingers crossed**

I will be home, so if you guys to run intot trouble, just have Kush call or text me.

Good luck tonight, guys! It's sad that I mean in trying to even get INTO the game let alone do well on the virtual field.

I'll be online tonight at 6:45pm EST. I hope everything works. Shag, I will invite you and Leroy into Party Chat when I get online, and we will go from there.

Good luck, boys!

Go Tigers!

I'm ready!!!!

Got about 1 quarter total played tonight, unfortunately, it was spread out between two games. We are tied 7-7, I have forced two punts though so I would say I am winning.

Unless you turned the ball over twice in return!

At least we are progressing through. Next time, you guys should be able to get to the half.

I think the system cache clear is what got us going. I have reset my depth chart to what I want. My guess is that it didn't like the depth chart adjustment DURING the game. UGH! Tomorrow, 11:30am is the next round.

I'm dying in anticipation (and I'm not even in the league). Stupid EA!

Hate when the game decides it wants to take over a game. Losing by 18, with a chance to cut the lead, any other day, my WR falls into the endzone. Today, he fumbles on the 1 inch line. GG Leroy, I am sorry for going silent the last quarter.

*EDIT*
Happened with 6:04 to go, all angles (and I'm posting replays) showed it was a TD before the ball popped loose. My hats off to Leroy, I may have cut the lead to 11, but I probably wasn't going to come back completely, but it would have made this game a whole hell of a lot closer. My defense fell asleep on 2 option plays that went for huge TDs.

Congrats, Leroy. You had a great season, Kush. I know how it feels to not have that last game work out as you'd like it...makes you want to get started on the next season sooner than later!

I was jamming the strip button as I chased him into the endzone and my prayers were answered. Good game. Shepherd was on his game for sure. Almost 400 total yards and 4 TDs.

Further more, because of all this EA Sports b*llsh*t with the National Championship, my career records are all messed up, I have zero approval rating for going (12-1), my goals were changed, and still all met. All little things that ruined an otherwise great matchup with Leroy.

I jammed the RB to protected the ball again in a big moment in a game I played this week in a game made by EA Sports, and fumbled. Should be called FU Sports, because that's what they like to do.

I didn't mind losing. Leroy played better, I just don't like that this game likes to kick you when you're down. It doesn't call penalties until someone is losing big, and they call it on that team to rub salt in the wounds. I don't even see how I fumbled because the guy got to the goal line same time I did. Just disgusted that certain little things, like NOT taking 40+ attempts to play a game, piss me off about a franchise that should be beyond stupid crap like this.

At least my controller survived, I showed great restraint

I thought your controller was dead after that fumble.

Players leaving is up. I spent about 7.5 hours keeping 6 guys from leaving. Ouch.

The real problem is just how sporadically penalties are called at all. I upped them in the other league significantly, and they still don't occur nearly often enough. But when you are losing, the probability of penalties is going to go up, doubly so if you get aggressive in the gameplan settings. So it appears that the game is picking on you, when it has really just reached the threshold.

And I don't find the turnovers to be bad at all in the game. I just try to remember how I feel when watching the Chiefs and Jayhawks play, and how those fumbles a the worse possible time happen. Or in the case with Kansas, how they happen too freaking often. From what I can tell, the game gets those feelings just right. It's just even more personal when it is your guy fumbling.

League rolled and we are at the players leaving stage. I will start an offseason thread. I am going to give everyone a few days to get caught up and then after the next roll it will be three days to get everything done. Just like last offseason.

I have Lewis and my big wide receiver wanting to go pro. Is it bad that I am more concerned about the WR then my best RB going? Will work on the players leaving in a few days.

Only good thing about losing the National Championship is that everyone wants to come back

And can I lead the league in a round of applause for our Season 2 National Champion, LeroyOG!

He really did earn it, I'm just glad I was the only team to beat him

Congrats, Leroy. You deserve that trophy!

Kush is a worthy opponent.

LEEEEEROYYYYY!!!!!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Kush is a helluva opponent.

Thanks guys Looking forward to future matchups between you guys.

Just watched the replays from the game, Kush. Were you not able to challenge that fumble? It sure does look like he was in.

If I remember back, there was a play along the sideline last year against one of the other human opponents that I wanted to challenge. Pause went to look for challenge and it wasn't there. YMMV, I was a little stressed/pissed at the moment so I may have missed it in a fit of rage.

As far as I know approval rating (in online multi-team dynasties) has nothing to with whether you get contract extensions, you are with your team until you decide to move on.

Yeah, it never gave me the option. It was a big oh well, chances are I wasn't coming back, but with 6:04 to play, down by 11 gave me a little hope.
