NCAA 12 - League Organization - Xbox 360

COLD BLOODED!

I must thank OSU for effin up. We just snaked a 5* OT from them.

I would love to join this league if there is space. Team isn't too important to me. I have been a long time GWJ lurker.

You're stepping down as commissioner, your rules don't apply anymore.

But maybe cap it at 4-stars, with certain special exceptions. That is, if everyone is alright with me taking over.

Leroy, you still want Michigan in this league? Isn't THAT what the 2-star league is for?
(Go Irish!)

I say, the teams should be equal to whatever rating Northwestern is and lower :).

With the amount of customization we can do, I'm thinking we can pull off some mass realignments if need be so we can have equal number of teams in conferences and what not.

This is very true. It doesn't matter the teams people choose, you can have everyone in the same conference or spread it out amongst 2 or three conference and change up the bowls too to force a human vs. human bowl game at the end.

OK, so here's who we know will be back:

Should be definitely in:
Kush
Shag
Hansome
Firesloth
Counselar
Leroy
Jayhawker (Talked to me earlier, might not be in to start. If not, I'm leaving his spot open for him)
Big Hoppa
Shonuff

Possible Open Spots:
DSGamer (Not sure if he's coming back, more than welcome, looks like there's interest on the main game thread from him)
Redhwk (If I remember correctly, not renewing XBox Gold)
Bill Bonney (Not sure if he's gone for good)

So we should have about 2-3 open spots. We won't start the league officially until August, but I will send out league info when the Fairdale Kings roster set comes out. There is a nice line of people waiting for a spot in the league, Shag and I are going to go back and find out who will get invites. I believe airicc8 is next in line, but not entirely sure.

Thanks for the update Kush. Put me in line somewhere and I'll wait my turn.

Kush,

I'd also like in. I posted my interest way back when.

Thanks
Spy

I'm always interested and I feel terribly weak willed for going from "I'm done with online play for a while" to a "Day One Perch" of NCAA 12. But I stand by what I said earlier. I have other priorities that trump me getting online for anything beyond a pickup game here or there. I've been trying to cut out BFBC2, Gears, NCAA or any game I might be inclined to play online for a significant amount of time so I can focus on getting the gym and things like that. If that changes I'll definitely ask at some point assuming there's even a spot.

Is Colorado or Colorado State still open?

i want in too as mentioned before...just not sure who all is available

I'm still jealous that I won't be able to get it until July 28th!

Kush, thanks for remembering me. I, like Handsom, am down for the created team dynasty once we can get 12 or so, and I'd love to be in the main league.

I'll look around on the sites for the teams/rankings, and I can pick a team leading up to the 28th when I'm back on Hawaii and my XBox.

I'll pick a team once others have selected theirs. Thanks!!

Maybe we can have a junior league and a main league, similar to what you guys do for fantasy football.

Yeah, I am interested in playing too...Looking to be Marshall or WVU.

If you have 2 spots me and Ruthlessmuffin would join let me know.

We may end up with enough for two leagues. How many players does a single league/online dynasty support?

I drove through Marshall a cole of weekends ago. Pretty country out that way. Tudors biscuits FTW.

12 per online dynasty.

Played a bit last night. It feels pretty damn tight.

That's what she said.....HEY-OOOH!

I played a game.....yes A game....stupid other crap coming up. booooo

I liked it. Michigan beats MSU 24-14. I can see power backs being useful in this one.

It does. I agree. It also feels really similar. So far. Not sure that's a bad thing. But I don't see the huge difference in the way DBs respond in coverage. Control wise, though, I'm starting to feel I have the level of control (reduced animations) that I did in the 2k series. I like that.

One thing I'm not in love with is the new look. It looks kind of washed out on my TV. That's the new HDR thing they were talking about, right?

To expand, I was (I was posting as I was waiting for class to resume), I played very little last night, and didn't even get a whole game in.

But I really like the feel of the game. It feels like NCAA 11.5 in a good way. Well, except for the dumb changes they made to the playcalling UI. Otherwise, I really like the improvements. In particular, running Kansas out of the spread, you can now run the ball out of the shotgun, which was the main problem last year.

I'm looking forward to checking out recruiting and and some other dynasty stuff today, but I really shouldn't. I have a final on Friday, and I should be studying. So feel free to message me to turn off the 360 and hit the books if you see me on.

I'm waiting on a good roster update.

If we exceed that threshold of 12 and I can get Kush and Jayhawker to tutor me Id be willing to attempt to Commish another dynasty for "The Unclean" who don't make the first 12 cut.

And I'm more than willing to fill a roster spot in that one too.

I do want to keep my spot in the "BCS" league continuing from last year. I also like the 2* league concept that Jayhawker introduced in last year's game, too..Especially upping the difficulty once we figure out how to play.

So, I'd be up for a second league if one needs to fill slots, especially if it follows the 2* prestige concept. MAC for life!!

Get ready to drop Notre Dame's anti-social status..............you're joining a Conference this year.
(Did I mention it was C-USA)

I think we can work together to get two successful leagues going. I would join both, but there's a little Kush on the way in Dec

So, little Kush is already taking a team? Isn't he/she a bit young?

There is going to be a senior division and a junior division.

I'm going to play around more with the online dynasty settings tonight but I think I have a great plan if it will let us do this.

2 conferences with 2 divisions. 3 teams per division. We lock the rivalry games in. Then go to the BCS bowl bid screen and set our conference champs to play.

BAM!
