[noel]

Id like to join with Florida or Texas A&M is that possible?

[FSUprime]

Id like FSU. psn is fsuprime

[Kingpin32]

I would like to play with Miami (FL).

[Cartman58]

Id like to join with Florida or Texas A&M is that possible?

Aren't you already running two online dynasties? No offense, but it wouldn't make sense to pick you up if you've already got a lot on your plate. I'm not a commish here or anything, but I just wanted to point that out.

[MaizeNBlue2]

Hook'em, how many games a week are you looking to get in?

[The UA is SICK]

I would be one to definitely follow the rules and i am online all the time. I would really like an invitation if it is on PS3. TKshc7 as ND. MY brother is a very valid gamer his name is KKbama2 and he would like Alabama if possible...

[HookemHorns]

Hook'em, how many games a week are you looking to get in?

Still trying to make a determination on that...I think its more or less going to be up to the group of people we start off with.

[The UA is SICK]

is there any way to make it unavailable to quit games after you have started them? that ruins the point of playing a legit dynasty if you can quit when you are losing. i know it tells u when people quit but is there anything you can do about it?

[FSUprime]

Yes when it says someone restarts then the commisioner can cancel the games outcome and simulate it till the person loses. Or just sim it and take the random outcome. Commisioner has that power.



psn; fsuprime

[tbuck0027]

ill take florida if there is any room. psn name slaton10

[gschwendt]

I like the list of members you have included so far... I would like to join as Auburn.

[MaizeNBlue2]

Still trying to make a determination on that...I think its more or less going to be up to the group of people we start off with.

Alright. The reason I ask is I'm only going to be able to get a couple of games in a week max, and I don't want to hold everyone else up if everyone else is looking for more than that.

I should just start my own Online Dynasty for guys who don't have time to play often. :p

[HookemHorns]

I like the list of members you have included so far... I would like to join as Auburn.

Man the SEC is going to be rediculous. Good thing I am over in the Big XII.

Yeah... I'm hoping that for weeks with human vs human competition we'd have roughly a week to get the game in. For weeks where there are no human vs human games, then a few days would be sufficient.

[HookemHorns]

We are looking to do 2 or possibly 3 games at the most a week. So if you can play at the most three games you'd be good.

[gschwendt]

Any discussion on when we would want to start... wait on rosters or go as soon as we have 12 with generic or partial rosters?

[FSUprime]

I can do 2 or 3.

[HookemHorns]

Any discussion on when we would want to start... wait on rosters or go as soon as we have 12?

I am thinking it would be best to wait on the patch and the following rosters...this should give us enough time to nail down a set of sliders.

Right now I am thinking about going with these sliders or something close:

Difficulty: Heisman
Quarter Length: 8 min

Offense

QB ACC - 30
Pass Blk - 0
WR Catch - 0
RB ABL - 60
Run Blk - 100

Defense

Awr - 0
Knockdown - 100
INT - 0
Brk Blk - 100
TAK - 50

Special Teams

FG PWR - 0
FG ACC - 0
Punt PWR - 50
Punt ACC - 100
Kick off - 70

All Penalties maxed out.

[gschwendt]

I haven't played with the posted set above but have you checked out bcthomas' game saving heisman sliders? In the limited testing with them, they produce pretty good results.

[MaizeNBlue2]

We are looking to do 2 or possibly 3 games at the most a week. So if you can play at the most three games you'd be good.

That wouldn't be that bad, unless we're talking online games against another human, then trying to get 3 games in one week might be tough.

I think for human vs. human games we are going to extend the week to make sure those games are played possibly extending that cycle for the week to a week.

That sounds reasonable.

So are you in? If so who do you want?

[MaizeNBlue2]

So are you in? If so who do you want?

Sure, why not. I need to start getting some games in online so I can practice. LOL.

My PSN ID is MaizeNBlue2. I'll take Michigan, if they aren't taken yet.

[texacotea]

Hookem you got anymore room?

[The Madden Lab]

If you have room, I'll take any team.

[Soonerfan09]

Can't wait to get this started, should be a lot of fun.

Someone should do a dynasty report over it.

[gschwendt]

Yeah... looking forward to it as well. This will be a polar opposite to my online dynasty using Arkansas State.

[Dirt]

Yeah... looking forward to it as well. This will be a polar opposite to my online dynasty using Arkansas State.I'm brand new to the dynasty stuff. How does it work? I've been working on one, but I don't know if I can use that when we start or not. Anyway, After I set all of my rankings and some red shirts, I began my season. Does this sound right? I haven't offered any scholarships yet, mainly because I don't know how. How do I give one out?

Sorry for the total rookie questions.

[HookemHorns]

All information on how to join will be distributed once we are ready to start.

Right now I am just waiting on the roster patch and rosters to be completed. Once that is done we will begin.

[Papa LoneStar]

Shoutout to Soonerfan09 for the PM!

I would like to join as USC....please, sir....:D

[HookemHorns]

Shoutout to Soonerfan09 for the PM!

I would like to join as USC....please, sir....:D

I just sent you a PM, but if you want I am willing to give Texas up to another Texas fan. There are a few other teams I wouldn't mind playing with.

[ForeTheGlory]

There wouldn't happen to be any spots open would there?

[Cartman58]

There wouldn't happen to be any spots open would there?

I'm pretty sure Hookem is in the process of picking up our 12th man.

[texacotea]

I'm pretty sure Hookem is in the process of picking up our 12th man.


You cant say that, A&M says so....:D

Im ready to get this started, the patch cant come soon enough.

[HookemHorns]

The way things are looking right now, the patch should come out on Tuesday Aug. 5th, hopefully the rosters will be done by Aug. 8th and then we will start on Aug. 9th.

[ForeTheGlory]

I'm pretty sure Hookem is in the process of picking up our 12th man.

Since I just bought the game last weekend, most online dynasties have already started. I was just looking for one that would be sim-style as I have no interest in 93-3 scores. However, it seems that I'm a little late to the party.

[Soonerfan09]

Ohio St.
Alabama
Boise St. (ID)
Florida St.
Louisiana St.
Miami (FL)
Miami (OH)
Washington
Arizona St.
Central Michigan
Southern California
Texas A&M
USF
Virginia Tech

I hope the last person chooses one of these teams.

[texacotea]

Bama may be a long shot but the SEC would be stacked

[HookemHorns]

I hope the last person chooses one of these teams.

I am hoping for the samething.

[Kingpin32]

I would like to play with Miami (FL), unless this is an invite only dynasty.

[ForeTheGlory]

If I were to join, I would probably take Alabama. Washington and Arizona State are equally enticing, but I wouldn't want to be alone out in the Pac 10.

[Cartman58]

I'm definitely praying that the last person in is a Florida team. I originally picked up USF hoping to dominate Florida recruiting. However, once Texaco picked up Florida that advantage was lost so I flipped to Colorado. Hopefully FSU or Miami is the final team so that Texaco doesn't get to dominate Florida recruiting.

[FSUprime]

i volunteered for FSU a while ago but i dont think i qualify for this dynasty yet, psn fsuprime

[Cartman58]

Warning: This is a double post from the PS3 thread.

Hey guys there is a quick deal I just found online for USB headsets. Guys over at Goozex mentioned it. On a website called stootsi.com they are selling PS3 headsets(wired) for $1.99 + $3 shipping. I'm a cheap bastard and I'll probably jump on this.

It is an open box deal, but this is about as cheap as it gets for headsets. Just thought I'd share.

It's only available for the next 17 hours. I mention this deal in the powerhouse thread because it would be awesome to be able to play quite a few headset games against you league guys.

[ForeTheGlory]

i volunteered for FSU a while ago but i dont think i qualify for this dynasty yet, psn fsuprime

Yeah, I don't think I've been here long enough either.

well after playing with Auburn I wanted them but Gshwendt had them and I am SEC fanboy so.... I have Florida

[Cartman58]

Hell, you should've gotten LSU so there would be two teams in each SEC division. So you can punish gush-wind-t's Auburn team every year. :D

[HookemHorns]

I took Notre Dame because they have a lot of good 5-star young talent who may not be rated very highly overall due to the fact they are all freshmen and sophomore's but watch out...I am set at QB with Jimmy Claussen and Dayne Crist for the next 5 years.

Oh and because I have an independant schedule I can schedule as many users games as I wish after the first season where we will play the real life schedule, there will be more info on that front in the next few days.

[FSUprime]

i might suggest after some experience with another dynasty im in you all might want to replace all div1aa teams. Its really not even fun playing those teams as the CBs and Safeties all have speed 60ish or so it seems.

[HookemHorns]

We have 12 players, so on that front we are ready to go. To the following 12 players congrats on joining me for the start of what should be a great dynasty. I am putting a lot of work into the sim engine and sliders to try and make this thing as realistic as possible. Hopefully the upcoming patches will only help with that process.

Here shortly I will be posting a list of items we all need to vote and agree upon before we can offically get started. Things like are we going to play FCS teams, we need to agree on a final set of sliders, etc. Nothing to big but things that will help move things a long smoothly.

From the looks of things everyone pretty much ended up with a team they care about or at least like so I hope that translates into you caring about and putting some effort into this dynasty. I am hoping each of you will play fairly and compete hard on the field and on the recruiting trail, with all of us having big name schools I think recruiting against one and another may be just as interesting as the games we play against eachother. Speaking of the games we play against one and another, if they are as competitive and smartly played as some of the games I've played against each of you already we should really be in for a treat. Only next time we play it will mean something...making a bowl game, national championship or even winning the crystal ball itself.

Good luck in the upcoming season and check back here soon for updates.

Again Congrats to the following:

Notre Dame - HookemHorns
Colorado - Cartman58
Nebraska - JBHuskers
Tennessee - Tennj-train
Penn State - Dirt
Georgia - redandblack
Oklahoma - Soonerfan09
Auburn - gschwendt
Michigan - j_dubs01
Florida - Texacota
Texas - Papa Lonestar
Florida State - FSUPrime

Well, I'll be playing Dirt and Hookem almost every year. That should be fun.

Just posting some random thoughts on my part now:

I'd love to schedule a home and home with any of you that I don't play on a regular basis.

I really need to start getting more practice in for online games.

Hookem, are you going to be posting a list of items to vote on and doing the voting in here, or how are we doing this?

I'm really looking forward to this guys. As of now, my online record is 1-3, so it probably isn't going to be pretty, but it will be fun nonetheless.

I was already thinking about things like this. In year 1 Colorado goes to Florida State and Nebraska, and we've got Texas at home. So I'll be set on league games in year 1(we can't change schedules anyway). However, year two I'll definitely be looking to pull in another owner game without Florida State on the schedule.

I will be posting the list here as soon as I get a chance to complete it. I need to look through the schedules for each of the teams to determine how we want to handle FCS teams. I would also like to get scheduling contracts going between each of the teams for both user controlled and non-user controlled teams. However, i would like to remove FCS teams from our schedules.

I should start getting a lot of info together today and posted. Depends on how busy my day at work is going to be.

No worries, we have time before the patch comes out anyway. I wasn't trying to be pushy or make you feel like you had to get the list done. i was simply inquiring about the process. Take your time man.

[HookemHorns]

Alright, just a few things that we need to get out of the way before we can get started. So here it goes:

1.) Do we want to have a minimum number of user vs user games?

It has been brought up a few times that teams in the Big 12, SEC and to some extent the Big 10 are going to beat up on each other while FSU will have almost a free ride other than playing Florida. My thoughts on this are that when playing in tough conferences this is basically what you will get, you will have to claw and fight your way thorugh to get to the championship. However it is open for discussion so let me know your thoughts.

2.) I am going to have everyone drop FCS teams from their schedule.

Instead of FCS teams you will be allowed to replace with any FBS team available. So, if you think you may need a weaker schedule by all means you are welcome to scheduling Wyoming or anyone else you see fit.

Here are the follow teams that would need to update their schedule this year:


Florida State:
Western Carolina
Tennessee-Chattanooga

Florida:
The Citadel

Auburn:
Tennessee-Martin

Oklahoma:
Tennessee-Chattanooga

Georgia:
Georgia Southern

Penn State:
Coastal Carolina

Colorado:
Eastern Washington


3.) Real life future schedules will be in effect.

For the teams we are playing with I have made a list of the BCS Major conference teams that our teams play up to I believe the 2016 season. For 99% of our teams there is only one team usually per season and some of them are against teams that are user controlled.

Excel file attached below.

4.) Out of Conference Schedule contracts.

Basically for up coming season schedules you would need to negotiate contracts with other teams. Now for non-user controlled teams this will be quite easy, just let me know what you want and if its a fair setup I will approve and you'll be good to go. Against other user controlled teams each teams owner will need to agree upon the terms...so if you can work a deal where you get two home games in a three game series more power to you. These contracts cannot be broken, and you cannot use recruits you are pursuing as bargining chips...ie. you cannot promise to drop contact to a recruit for scheduling purposes.

Again any and all of this is up for disscussion. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to bring them up.

[gschwendt]

Everything looks good... as for #1 though, I think all teams should have at least 2-3 human controlled teams.

[redandblack]

Everything looks good so far. I can't wait, I think this is going to be really fun.


And I agree with gschwendt, each of us should at least have a couple of human controlled teams on our schedules. I'm set for year 1, having to face Tennessee(Tenn-jtrain), Florida(texacotea), and Auburn(gschwendt), and I wouldn't mind trying to set up a non conference game with one of the other owners. Michigan and Texas are two teams I have in mind for an early non-conference matchup against my Georgia team.

[Dirt]

Sounds good. I'll be more contentious when I know exactly what is going on. Right now I'm just a noob.

[FSUprime]

1.) Do we want to have a minimum number of user vs user games?

Im for it since i will have a free run at the ACC (hopefully the sliders will yield some losses to the CPU) i dont know an exact number but will be happy with whatever everyone decides.

2.) I am going to have everyone drop FCS teams from their schedule.

Good, Ill log into a dynasty and see what teams are available for the weeks of my 2 FCS games and submit them for acceptance.

3.) Real life future schedules will be in effect.

excellent idea, and will help some with my home and home with OU.
I did notice FSU also has a home and home with Airforce in 2011 and 2012 with FSU@airforce in 2011. http://seminoles.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/fsu-m-footbl-sched-home-acc.html

4.) Out of Conference Schedule contracts.
I like this idea, i assume that standard contracts with CPU teams will be home and home?


a different question, will rosters that we use be edited for correctness for each team? I know UFs is messed up with alot of safeties listed no longer on the team, FSU has marcus ball as a good LB and he is no longer on the team + the WR depthchart is FUBAR with surrency at 6'0 instead of 6'5, and jarmon fortson (#81) as a junior when he is a true freshman.

[HookemHorns]

We are going to use the default rosters that CDJ and the rest of the team from here do. If we were to go through and update all the rosters it may take a little to long and quite honestly I want to get this thing started ASAP.

[Cartman58]

1.) Do we want to have a minimum number of user vs user games?

I personally would vote for ATLEAST 3 user games/season. For people in the Big 12 and SEC that may suffice. It would not be cool if FSU or to a lesser extent the Big 10 teams get free rides every year with having minimal user games. Obviously it would be fine if I care to have more than 3, but no less. That would appear to be a fair way to do it.


2.) I am going to have everyone drop FCS teams from their schedule.

I'm against this, but it's fine. If someone wants to schedule cupcakes and shit out their strength of schedule then let them. As competitive as this dynasty is going to be with potentially 2-3 of us having near perfect seasons every year, you just will not be able to compete if you schedule FCS teams.

With that said, in year 1 Colorado will not be a powerhouse. So if I want a light opponent to help work on some of my young talent offensively I feel I should be able to. Yes, I realize I'd be basically taking myself out of title contention, but if it's not my team goal to be running for a National Title in year 1 then being able to schedule lighter teams should be my decision.

Again, just adding another point of view. It won't make much of a difference anyway as I could just schedule Wyoming like you said.

4.) Out of Conference Schedule contracts.

I love this idea and think that it will add a lot of replay value to the league.

Overall I am highly impressed with what you've put together with my original idea for the league. I know you will run a great one. My only complaint is that we aren't already started.[laugh]

[Dirt]

We are going to use the default rosters that CDJ and the rest of the team from here do. If we were to go through and update all the rosters it may take a little to long and quite honestly I want to get this thing started ASAP.on the rosters: i assume those are in the EA locker? If so, I assume I should be able to get them from CDJ, correct? Right now I'm using Gatorcrazy's rosters, which appear complete.

[FSUprime]

*edit* Sounds good on the rosters, hopefully they do a good job and fix some of the problems ;) if not ill have to recruit a ton of WRs in year 1 due to no depth.

I just dont want to be forced to play FCS teams, they really are no fun even for rebuilding teams. I had to play one in my UCF dynasty on 5 min quarters and it was boring, i would have rather been forced to do practice mode for 60 minutes. Every play works for at least 30 yards unless you purposely try to run into them.

I think 3 user teams should be the minimum. FSU is only guranteed 1 every year with UF. But has CU this year and OU in the coming years scheduled. Ill be sure(along with commish im sure) to make sure i have at least 3 regular season games and hopefully we will have alot of Bowl game match ups as well!

[HookemHorns]

I think we are going to do a minimum of 2 user controlled teams. I think everyone will automatically have one due to scheduling. So for teams like myself, Penn State and FSU we will need to add atleast one more.

You are free to add as many user controlled opponents as you wish however.

What I don't want is to force it so all of you OOC games are against other user controlled teams as that would cheat you out of wins against some lower competition thus potentially costing you recruits.

I know the Big 10 is going to be tricky as Michigan and Penn State do not play each other every year, so on years they don't play each other they will need to find two other user controlled opponents. Michgian will have one down as they play Notre Dame every year.

Another thing we need to talk about is restarting games, I would like to set it as no game restarting is allowed. Let me know what you think about that.

I've also been kicking around the idea of coach firings and hirings. We are all basically starting at the top with powerful and storied teams. However we may want to think about implementing some sort of coach grading system based upon your coach prestige and win - loss record. Basically meaning if your team starts to tank you basically get "fired" and are moved down to a lower rung of teams...probably a mid-major and you have to work your way back up.

Just something I just thought of let me know what you think.

[JBHuskers]

Just kind of quickly glancing through this at work, and everything I've seen so far sounds good Hook'em, I will try to look through things a little closer when I get home, but I am really flexible with what you wanna do here.

[HookemHorns]

After reading my previous post do you want a minimum of 2 or 3 user controlled opponents?

[Cartman58]

Colorado Buffaloes OOC Contract Offers-

1. The University of Colorado is set to play the University of Georgia at home in the year 2010. Colorado offers to extend this into a home/home giving the University of Georgia a home game with our Colorado Buffaloes in the year 2011. This game would give at Georgia (TN, Florida, Colorado, and potentially Auburn) in the year 2011. This offer is on the table for the University of Georgia if they would like to extend the series outside of their visit to Boulder next fall(2010).

2. This fall the University of Colorado Buffaloes has been forced to re-schedule their game against Eastern Washington. Available opponents during that week 2 opening are Auburn, Penn State, Michigan, Tennessee, and Florida. The Buffaloes request a home/home series and would be willing to travel this fall in that week 2 slot. The 2nd half of the contract would be put on the schedule for the 2011 schedule. Big 10 teams and Auburn will have first preference as they have fewer human games confirmed already.

Offers may be PM'd to me or discussed openly in the thread.

[FSUprime]

with game restarts. user v user restarts might happen and should be handled seperately from user v cpu.

I have had 2 seperate incidents of not being able to upload a game after it was played and not being able to connect to EA servers to report it. I have also had 1 incident of the game freezing. I think that if someone experiences this they should take a screen shot of the tv when it happens to prove that they were winning, or that it was really close with alot of time left. THey need to show the commish the screenshot BEFORE they start their replay so that the commissoner knows its not a restart (obviously their are ways around this but with the people we are starting with this should be enough proof)

If the person was losing or it was close other ideas need to be suggested maybe sim and take whatever result you get. Even if the person gets the win their is a higher probability of injury in simmed games. Or maybe the person should super sim the game so that they lose. I dunno.

J_Dubs brought up a good question, do we as a group want to use Avid for stat/dynasty tracking? I think it would be cool if we all did this, however I understand it is a time investment. I think I will do this with Notre Dame either way and if others feel like doing a dynasty report in feel free.

I'd like to know a little more about information tracking period.

Stats, scouting reports, etc. As far as scouting reports I'd like to see a guideline of what is "required". Vague or descriptive?

Examples:

Vague: Cartman058 likes to run the ball a lot. He mixes in PA pass and various passes.

Descriptive: Cartman058 runs Tennessee's playbook. He runs the ball 60-75% of the time. He likes to throw quick routes. Slant routes with receivers, TE streaks, and short passes to backs.

CDJ's rosters aren't done yet as the roster patch has not come out yet. It will probably be Aug. 8th before we has rosters for the dynasty.

[FSUprime]

ive never messed with Avids but we are doing game reports for the midmajor dynasty im in (or at least i am) on the forums and i had fun writing it up. Im up for at least doing game reports though im not sure how involved this avid thing is. I dont know if i want track every single stat, ill have to look into it.

Avid would just be a stats thing. The game will only keep stats for your player while he is in school. After that the stats are no longe displayed.

Avid would allow you to go back and look at your stats from years past. Basically you would input all of your game stats for each and every game.

I am going to create a free website more than likely so we can do scouting reports and other things since trying to keep everything striaght in this thread will be hard.

Scouting reports would need to be detailed. You don't have to write 20 pages about your opponent, but a couple paragraphs would be great.

Colorado Buffaloes OOC Contract Offers-

1. The University of Colorado is set to play the University of Georgia at home in the year 2010. Colorado offers to extend this into a home/home giving the University of Georgia a home game with our Colorado Buffaloes in the year 2011. This game would give at Georgia (TN, Florida, Colorado, and potentially Auburn) in the year 2011. This offer is on the table for the University of Georgia if they would like to extend the series outside of their visit to Boulder next fall(2010).

Offer accepted. Really the 2010 game is a return game from 2006 when the Buffaloes came to Athens. If you want another home game against Georgia sometime after 2011 that's fine with me.

I have a week 1 game I need to replace and I'd like to get a big name opponent to a home and home. I'm offering Penn State who also has a week 1 game that needs replacing to a home and home in 08 and 09. We'll come up to Happy Valley in 08 and The Nittany Lions can make the return trip to Athens in 09. That is if Penn State accepts this offer.

Ahh, didn't know. I'm fine with us just playing in 2010 if you don't want to continue it along. I should've checked on that. I checked and saw that FSU played Colorado last year so I didn't offer it to Prime. If you'd like us to come to Athens in 2011 just say so and we will.

[Dirt]

Hooks, if you have the time, could you do a quick break down of what a typical season will consist of. I believe I am at a bit of a disadvantage having never done one of these before. Like I said, I began one on line just to get the jist, but I'm only up to my second regular season game. I have one player that has committed to me. So, I'm pretty much in the dark. Without giving away strategy, I'm wondering if you can give a simple synopsis of what will happen once we start.

[gschwendt]

Are we getting separate forums or are we going to run most of everything from this thread?

Pretty much all of us are doing this for the first time. Have you ever played a dynasty before? I know EA released detailed instructions on how to do this. I'll put up a link here in a sec.

[HookemHorns]

I'd like to keep everything on here. I just don't know how easy its going to be to keep everything easily identifiable once we start doing scouting reports and the like.

I am thinking about throwing up a free fourms site just to keep everything straight.

ha ha. No. Like I said, I started one just to get going, but I'm only up to my second regular season game.

EA sucks at explaining shit.

[MaizeNBlue2]

1) I would say either 2 or 3, as long as it's in that range, I'm fine with it. I'm definitely at a disadvantage, because I've played 4 online games in my gaming career, and have never played on Heisman, but I'll roll with the punches.

2) I don't have a problem not play FCS opponents. Michigan's played one in the history of the program and we all know how that turned out, so I'll stay away from them at all costs regardless. :p

3) I really like the idea of user-vs-user contracts. Adds an interesting development that you don't normally get in a dynasty.

4) This sounds fine by me. A note though, ND and Michigan actually are under contract to play every year until 2031. LOL.

A question on coach demotions. Either way is really fine by me, and it probably depends on how much interest there is, but what about having actual firings and bringing in new coaches controlled by other Utopians? I'm not sure the interest is there, but it worked out okay for Dshban in his New ACC dynasty.

Also, the Avid thing could always be done on a per user basis. If they want to do it great, if not that's fine too. It was just a thought.

Also, we have to do scouting reports on our user-vs-user games? Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see the purpose here.

Update:

Cartman: I accept your offer, if I'm allowed to add a game to my schedule. I don't know if we're allowed to modify the schedule if we don't have FCS teams on the schedule in the first year or not.

Hookem, can I get a ruling on this?

If you're already creating a site (assuming you already have the storage) then might I recommend SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/). It's really easy to setup... I set one up for SBCOL and like the results. Plus then we can do game recaps there and have them show up on a portal. PM me if you have any questions or anything...

[HookemHorns]

4) This sounds fine by me. A note though, ND and Michigan actually are under contract to play every year until 2031. LOL.

Yeah, its you an me buddy for the rest of time. At least we know we've got one user vs user game out of the way.

You know I thought about that, but I don't want to penalize the original members because they aren't winning games. No we can maybe look at something like that if you move down to a mid-major team and sink there as well.

Also, the Avid thing could always be done on a per user basis. If they want to do it great, if not that's fine too. It was just a thought.

Exactly, I'd like everyone to do it as it would work out great when trying to scout your opponent to see what they like to do.

Also, we have to do scouting reports on our user-vs-user games? Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see the purpose here.

I'd like to only on the user vs user games...obviously we don't have to as everything is up for debate at this point, but it may help when playing other players to know what they like to do.

[MaizeNBlue2]

Yeah, its you an me buddy for the rest of time. At least we know we've got one user vs user game out of the way.

Indeed. Should be fun. I also like it because you're the only person I've actually beaten online so far. :P Not that it will have any effect on the future, mind you.

Yeah, that would be the way to go.

The only reason I ask is I've never been a football coach/player at any level. I love watching, but I don't know that me doing a scouting report, etcetera would do much good for anyone, seeing as I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe if I recorded an online game played between me and someone else, then read their scouting report on me, and then re-watched the game, then I could learn something. Seems like a lot of work though. Let me know.

What about the game between Cartman and I, are we allowed to edit our first season schedule if we don't play any FCS teams?

[HookemHorns]

What about the game between Cartman and I, are we allowed to edit our first season schedule if we don't play any FCS teams?

For season one we are just replacing FCS teams, unless you have less than 3 user controlled opponents (which you do) so you will need to find more.

Yes you can schedule Cartman.

[MaizeNBlue2]

For season one we are just replacing FCS teams, unless you have less than 3 user controlled opponents (which you do) so you will need to find more.

Yes you can schedule Cartman.

Okay, so you decided that it's a minimum of 3 user-vs-user games? I didn't see where that was finalized, but cool. I figure if I'm ever going to beat Cartman, then the first year would be the year. Although, I don't think I've ever even looked at Colorado's ratings, so I may be in for mor ethan I bargained for!

Cartman: I accept! We'll see you at The Big House in week 2. (Assuming your still willing to travel for the first game.)

[FSUprime]

watch out for darrell scott ;)

I need a 3rd user game so i open up an invitation to any (besides UF and CU) for the first 3 weeks of the season. I will except a home and home you can have the first home game or the 2nd it doesnt matter to me. I would love to play an SEC team but i know they are already swamped so Michigan would be great.

Hookem: I looked into this a little bit and it's pretty sharp-looking. I'd be willing to help you with some of the design if you like as well. As my custom title says: Graphic Guru. I do quite a bit of Photoshop work, and have done a little web design in the past. So, take that for what it's worth.

Yeah I can do the web design, I know between you, me and gschwendt we will have the images done.

I do most of my stuff in Macromedia Studio...I haven't taken the time to learn Photoshop.

I think I am going to go ahead and get the host setup, as I can use it for this and another project I am working on. I thought about using the host I have all my work stuff setup through but i don't want to put any strain on the bandwidth...although it would be free.

So hopefully in the next week I'll have the site up.

If you want to put something together for a league banner that would be awesome.

[texacotea]

Looks Good Hookem, I like the 3 user games. Us in the SEC will have no problem filling that.
I also like the idea of demoting coaches, sounds like it could be an interesting way to run things.
I like the avid thing also I may do this with UF.

Really at this point just keep playing games. I would suggest playing with Penn State and getting used to them as a team.

Sweet. That would be incredibly helpful.

I was think just some generic action shots of each of the teams controlled in the dynasty. That would be my only request right now. I don't actually have a concept that I'm going for with this yet. Any ideas anyone has would be appreciated as well.

Thanks again gschwendt.

[Soonerfan09]

I would like to offer a home and home series to Auburn, with the first game being week one of the 2008-2009 season. I'm not picky about where we play the game.

I think Auburn plays ULM week one and we play Chattanooga. This would give both of us 3 user games, and you can replace UT Martin (week 11) with whoever else you want.

[FSUprime]

with game restarts. user v user restarts might happen and should be handled seperately from user v cpu.

I have had 2 seperate incidents of not being able to upload a game after it was played and not being able to connect to EA servers to report it. I have also had 1 incident of the game freezing. I think that if someone experiences this they should take a screen shot of the tv when it happens to prove that they were winning, or that it was really close with alot of time left. THey need to show the commish the screenshot BEFORE they start their replay so that the commissoner knows its not a restart (obviously their are ways around this but with the people we are starting with this should be enough proof)

If the person was losing or it was close other ideas need to be suggested maybe sim and take whatever result you get. Even if the person gets the win their is a higher probability of injury in simmed games. Or maybe the person should super sim the game so that they lose. I dunno.


we know ea servers can sometimes screw up, whats everyones thoughts on this?

I'd like to think we could all be on the honor system, if something happens, i would think a simple explanation would suffice, rather than providing DNA evidence of a freeze, etc. Just my thoughts, though. I'm just in it to have fun and play some good straight games for once...Don't get me wrong, I love to win, but I'm not going to hang myself if my game freezes and I get a loss.

[Tennj-train]

Also, Hook, if ND needs another home and home series with UT, let me know, I'm game.

As far as keeping up with stats and such, I'm going to put mine on AViD. I'm most likely going to put in stats for my opponents as well. I really like how you can view game stats anytime you want so I'm not forced to enter them right after the game.

Now for how many games we're going to play per week, well I'm not sure what I'm gonna be able to do. I've got football practice every weekday for the rest of the fall, and I'm probably only going to be able to play on the weekends but if we do 2 games per week I'll try to find time to play during the weeknights.

I guess a home and home with Tennessee will work. What years would you like to do this?

Anytime, baby, anytime...I hate that I have NIU on the schedule this year...but I'm down with whatever...

ohh, and to add my part, 33, saturday evening..nothin better to do.[down]

[Dirt]

can someone give me the quick run down on Avid? Where do I get it, what should I use it for, does it work on a Mac?

Now that the second patch has been announced to include support for dynasties on EASW, I'm hoping they don't skimp on the stats/results. The little that I've used AViD I don't have the patience for it, although I've never been a dynasty reporter type guy.

Alright. The site is basically done save for a few final touches and adding the indivdual team pages which will look a lot like the main page.

So go ahead and check it out for those of you that haven't yet and let me know what you think.

www.powerhousedynasty.com

[HookemHorns]

Alright the home page is done (www.powerhousedynasty.com (http://www.powerhousedynasty.com)) and I think I am pretty much done with the team page...or atleast what they will look like:

http://www.powerhousedynasty.com/index.php?pageid=notredame

Let me know what you think and if you would like to see anything added.

One thing I am thinking about is Award Winners which would show all of your award winners in one spot. Let me know what you think so far.

[Soonerfan09]

Is the site down for everyone, or just me?

[FSUprime]

dunno, it works this morning.

[Cartman58]

Yea, it's working this morning. Occasionally I've noticed it will go out, but it's not a big deal.

My bad, I should have put up a note. They were doing some maintenence to the servers last night.

[stuntman87]

Out of curiousity, what makes you want to be a part of this dynasty as opposed to the hundreds of others here who are probably still looking for people?

After I typed it and re-read it, it may seem like I'm being hostile, but I was really just curious...It is a great dynasty, but I'm curious to know what makes you think so.

[FSUprime]

cause we have a sweet website !

[Tennj-train]

Maybe, the TN page is definitely the best. But seriously, of all the dynasties going on, I wonder why someone would pick ours out of all the fish in the sea.

[MaizeNBlue2]

Wow, we've actually been posting in this thread again? I haven't checked this thing in ages since we got the web site. LOL.

[Dirt]

btw I'm at work and will be home tonight for catching up... take care all

[Tennj-train]

Yeah, I saw some one had posted in here, so I HAD to check...it really seems to have caught on though, maybe we need to spend less time in here and more time catching up on our dynasty info:p

Haha, I agree. It would be nice to be able to edit our own team pages, etcetera, so we can keep them up to date. Although, I seem to be the only one that does a weekly "dynasty report" update.

There are no openings right now, but I'd PM Hookem and ask him to put you on the "waiting list", although I imagine it's pretty long...[cool]
