APF2k8 - Legends League S1 - Week 2

Pages

This is the week 2 thread. I think we can begin play, no? I'm available any time after 6pm pst, Grumpicus.

Also, 50 yards a carry for Earl Campbell seems about right. That's why you have to assign a defender to him.

Bagga -- When do you want to try out or connection? Later at night is good for me, say after 10 pm EST. 11 pm is even better. I can do that most nights.

I think he did. Really, it was just one quarter of football where Campbell broke one big run, hence the skewed stat. There's always that tough decision, though... you can stack the line, but if he gets through there's no one left to stop him. I prefer the bend-but-don't-break approach.

Kush, when's good for you? If Bioshock is dropping early, like I keep hearing, I might be tied up this evening...

Thin', I'm around most of today. Maybe tomorrow night or Friday afternoon. But then Weekend mornings for sure. Let me know what sounds good to you.

That sounds good to me. I can do tonight or tomorrow night, but not friday night. That's chainsawin' time. (Well, that, or BioShock if Slumberland lets me in on his little secret)

Yeah. Mike Singletary. Plus, I checked the "focus" box. Oddly, the only time I was able to make his team go for less than 20 yards a play was when I sacked him -- which I did a few times. My vaunted "72 Curtain" was unable to stop the run, but they get in the pocket quickly. Firesloth, don't read that last sentence.

I might be busy until late, but if you want to take a break and I'm on, let me know. I'll be home around 10:30pm EST tomorrow night. After that, I'm away until Sunday night, feeding into my gambling and drinking addiction down in Atlantic City.

Let's try tonight. If that doesn't work out, we can fall back to tomorrow...I'll try to send you a message to give you the heads up if I'm gonna' be able to play.

Speaking of Mike Singletary....

So yesterday I was playing a season SP game. I was playing one of those teams that seems to have like 5 gold star players. One of them was Mike Singletary. He did something I've never seen before in this game. He got through the line so quickly that he hit my quarterback before he had the chance to hand the ball off to Okoye for a dive. WTH? Beware of Mike Singletary.

Muffin, let me know when's good for you.

anytime I'm online every night just hit me up

I can be on around 7:30pm PDT, give or take. I'll look for you.

10:30 my time. I'll be on

*edit*

Hey DS, I don't believe the league has been rolled forward to the second week. Donan and I couldn't play anything but a custom match from the league lobby. We'll have to get our game in another day.

I've never done it before so I don't really know, but I guess you have to do something specific to roll it forward early. Ah well. We'll get the game done. It just make take an extra few days

I think DS needs to activate week 2. Frankie and I just played tonight, but it did not register our game. My guess is that week two is still not active.

Edit: Yeah, what Thin said.

How do "roll it forward"? I saw no such option.

Well, after much searching, the only way I could see to advance the schedule was via the website. Cross your fingers that that didn't screw anything up.

Weird. Now it shows the "play by" date as 8/15. Let's try to get our games in and I believe it should let us. If I go into the lobby it still says Grumpicus is my next opponent. So apparently I moved the schedule forward. Let's just try to get these games in and I'll find (it's not in the paper-thin manual) if there's a better way to roll the schedule forward.

Heh...you know, when I was finally able to get on, it said you had last been seen 4 minutes previously. Stupid AT&T Indian customer service reps and their unintelligible mumbling.

Let's look for tonight!

OK. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Sounds great.

Bumpie, if you read this I'll probably be open to play anytime past 6:00 pm central tonight. If you see me on live just hit me up.

Thin', I know you are working an odd Swing or Mids (or whatever) so just give me a window of possible times you will be available and I will try and spot up on one and get this game in the books.

I just sent frankie a message offeing to replay our game. I won last night, but it was a nail biter. It was complicated ny the fact that I had asked frankie how to set up blocking, and while he was explaining it to me I ran a play. Somehow, he wasn''t paying attention, at he left Wesley Walker wide open, streakng down the sidleine for an easy TD.

Otherwise, we slugged it out, and I held on for a 35-32 win. But i think a rematch would be better for the league, and he deserves another shot.

Using my adept math skills and a handy calculator for conversion, that would be 7pm EST.
I should be around! I accepted the friend request, so as soon as I see you sign in, I'll load up All Pro.

Weekends are tough for me as far as games go.

To get a game in it would have to be in that 3 hour window from 4pm to 7pm est. That goes all the way through sunday. Then on monday I'm back to being able to stay up late and play at whatever hour is convenient again.

O.k. That makes it 1-4 my time. So let's shoot for 2:30 PDT or so(your time 5:30pm) Saturday? Sound good to you. I can probably play anytime during this period on Saturday. Let me know.

5:30 on saturday should be perfectly doable. If anything should change I'll post.

Slumber, I'll be on around 10:30pm EST tonight if you're game.

I'll see if I can make it, but I might not be able to... have a ton of things to take care of before skipping town tomorrow morning. I'll shoot you a note if I can't, and we can wait 'til Sunday or Monday.
