NCAA 11 GWJBCS (Xbox 360): Offseason thread. Between Year 2 and Year 3

Pages

Alright everybody. We finally got through Season II. Congrats to Leroy (LSU) for beating Kush (Rutgers) in the BCS game. The plan is to give everybody 5 days to get their players leaving done and then after that it will be three days between rolls. That should give us 2 to 3 eeks before Season 3 begins.

A few thing to go over before Season 3.

* How does everybody want to do the schdule. We have the tiered option and the pick 5 people you want to play?

* Do people want me to bump up the penalties or the AI for Season 3? I am fine with the way they are now, but wouldn't mind some competition from the AI.

I like both options. I would like to play some guys I haven't gotten a chance to play, but that's up to them. I think we can do a little of both, maybe have talks here and see if teams accept bid to play each other?

I would like to put a bid out to play Notre Dame in South Bend.

I use sliders in my offline dynasty that are pretty solid.

Offside 95
False Start 95
Holding 50
Facemask 55
OPI 100
DPI 100
KR/PR interference 100
Clipping 35
IG 100
Rough pass/kicker 100

I have some custom AI settings to make things a wee bit more difficult if you guys are interested.

Also, I've got no preference as to who I play. Whatever works out for the overall schedule.

I want to go to Jersey and avenge my loss last year.

I also want a chance to make Interception Jesus cry.

Edit: I'm ready to advance.

Media poll dropped me to 4th. Below a team with 1 more loss. I also beat that team 51-7 head to head. In their stadium.

*shaking head*

On another note, I am ready to advance. I had to spend nearly 6 hours convincing my top-rated QB, LB, and HB to forego the NFL draft, and to convince a back-up safety that a transfer to UNC was not a good idea. The QB is a 94-rated redshift Junior, so I could theoretically have him for two more years. The LB is rated 95 or higher, I think. At any rate, those were crucial to keep. My HB could actually start to be effective this year.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like I spent more than 7 hours. Ugh. Worth it, though.

I'd be happy to have Rutgers and Boise visit South Bend! Only I'm not sure if I'm up to the level of play that Kush has demonstrated. Should be interesting, though. Aside from that, I'm happy to stick with Michigan and Northwestern as other human foes. I'd also be happy to swap Oregon State in for one of those two.

Nice to see the media finally get one right.

Actually, I think I'm set to play in Boise this year, while Northwestern would come to SB.

I got Lewis and Shanahan to stay for one more year.

This is the year that Pitt beats Rutgers. I feel it.

I would like to play Boise State and Michigan this year. I do not know who else I would like to play.

League will roll on Thursday night (2/17).

Isn't 5 days a bit much, especially since it looks like over half the league is done with the leaving players stage? Just saying, figured each stage would be 2-3. Your call buddy!

Also noticed Rutgers is now a 5-star school. Maybe now I can get some 5-star recruit lovin.......in an "enrolling at my school" way.

Akward..........

I accept this challenge, and will try to have the required number of players to avoid a forfeit by then.

I lost a couple of guys to transfers, but my punter got over my recruiting another kicker in just 10 minutes.

I tried to do my transfers. It gives me a "dynasty unavailable" error when I leave the screen and doesn't save the changes.

It's not a huge deal, only one back-up LB transferring, but when I've only got 3 or 4 recruits committed for this class every body counts.

Looks like Michigan may be going ironman next season.

EDIT---

I exited and will try again shortly.

Ready here.

Talked my one player that wanted to leave for the Pros out of it with just an hour. There were a couple others I had concerns about, but thankfully they didn't want to bolt.

I'm losing my top 2 WR, 2 TEs and 2 DT to graduation. Not to worried about the WRs and TEs as I have a 4* WR and 2 4* TEs coming in, but the loss at DT has me a bit concerned.

edit - Nice, just noticed I'm a 5-star school now too.

My players were just telling me how much they wanted to see if the rumors are true about Pittsburgh chicks.

Its true, they do play for the Panthers football team

BTW, congrats to the league on putting 6 teams in the top 7. Nicely done.

Since Boise got crushed by Rutgers last year, I guess he wants to try his luck against Pittsburgh. I would travel to the blue turf unless you want to play on a professional field?

Oh snap.

It doesn't matter to me. Boise State will play anyone, anywhere. Even in a nondescript stadium full of girls with mustaches.

I see a Week 14 matchup between Pittsburgh and Boise St this year. We'll call it the Steel Potato Bowl.

I know that we usually do three, but with the delay in getting Championship game in (Rice :)), I wanted to give everyone enough opportunity to start the offseason process. If everyone gets done sooner, then we will move forward. Also, do not forget that Houston and Navy are set as autopilot and give an automatic ready.

Just to be sure, we should know that at this stage we have to push the "Ready to Advance" button, otherwise there's no way to know we are, in fact, ready...

I'm still getting the error.

Just move on, I can't figure out what the hell is wrong. I guess this guy is destined to transfer to Iowa.

I will boot you and invite you back and see if that works. I also want to give Hoppa and Bonney another day to get theirs in if they haven't already. Only because they are on autopilot.

Didn't work.

It says:

Transfer failed

Online Dynasty is currently unavailable. Try again or exit and try later?

Any suggestions?

If you are running through a router, try pulling the power on it and trying again. I've had my router do some crazy stuff to my online gaming. For instance, it trapped my FFXI character in between zones. All my other characters were fine but my main was trapped till I power cycled the router. Maybe it trapped your transfer request.

Did you clear the HD cache? That was one of the things that helped Leroy and I play our National Title game.

That too!!

I do not know if you are keeping a file of the dynasty on your hard drive, but maybe get rid of that and reload a new one when you get back online through the system?

I am also going to ask what everyone thinks about the trasfers coming in (next step). Do you want to see them or do you want to just blow by that part and advance to the part after that. Basucally your only option is to not admit them or admit them to your school. My feeling is that we can for go this part and if you do not want them, yuo can cut them when the time comes.
