Yeah the commissioner can change the sliders

I have

7/17/2008 2:23:03 AM

just gettin back from buckheads, gotta work at 7:00 in the mornin, but my ass is gettin on and doin this shit over again anyways.

just looked and DAMNIT....i had a 5* WR with me as their #1 school in the first dynasty and now there is only 2 4* WR's interested in me in-state.

I vote for leaving the sliders alone. My running backs are bad enough.

7/17/2008 9:46:21 AM

i'm getting the game today (i found a store with it) but my reason for saying to stay with default sliders is once you change the sliders, its no longer All American, aka the settings that everyone else uses for online ranked matches...but i havent played the game yet except for the demo so i dont know how everything seems, but thats my reasoning

7/17/2008 10:05:27 AM

^^ lol you're gonna want sliders when you play me.

7/17/2008 10:48:34 AM

Ok, you convinced me.

7/17/2008 12:15:34 PM

hahah yup, Spiller is retarded... I would literally have everyone keying on him and he would still break 20 yard runs

7/17/2008 12:57:23 PM

Rosters have already been uploaded but the only thing I can think of would have been to go in and lower spiller's speed or acceleration down to about 92-93 from 96. He left my 91-92 speed corners and safeties in the dust last night. Finally got control of him in the 2nd half but it was too much to make up. And you burned my ass with that fake punt run with me in punt block safe. I would have loved to see that game without my internet being laggy as hell.

With injuries like this, redshirt the player. If his redshirt is used up, bury him on the depth chart so hopefully he won't see the field at all

7/17/2008 1:25:49 PM

When does the preseason period end?

7/17/2008 1:45:21 PM

The initial plan was to start the games next week

but if everyone gets their preseason stuff done and is ready to go

I can advance it whenever people want

7/17/2008 1:50:12 PM

I just picked up the game at lunch today...man the next 3 hours are going to be sllllooooooowwwww

^i'm down to start whenever but i'd at least like to get in a game or two to re-familiarize myself with the controls...i'm sure i'll do that tonight

7/17/2008 2:19:32 PM

^^^^ correct, and add them to the list please

7/17/2008 3:02:35 PM

^^^have yalls online games been going more smoothly? ie a lot less disconnects? i wonder if starting at the beginning of next week would decrease the odds of a bunch of disconnects, as you'd expect EA to be increasing bandwidth on their servers right now?

7/17/2008 4:04:49 PM

only really had disconnect problems when playing Jaybee

I blame him

I'll play you tonight and see how that goes smoothness wise

7/17/2008 4:32:32 PM

word

i just figure like Madden, GTA4, COD4 (new maps), etc, they often take a few days to work out the bandwidth kinks from having such a huge influx of players getting on their servers

7/17/2008 4:36:24 PM

Ok, Paul Johnson coming in has fucked up my WRs.
According to articles I've read and their official preseason depth chart.

Starting WR James Johnson quit team. (already redshirted, so I buried him on d-chart)
Starting WR Greg Smith moved to RB (Can't change his position yet, so I buried him on WR d-chart) Jonathan Dwyer moved from TB to Fullback: noted due to Slave Famous' rule against moving players to fullback.

7/17/2008 4:44:08 PM

Like I said earlier

Disregard that huge rule posting I made earlier

Way too complicated, that was my fault


Just go by the revised version

Quote :

"Any unrealistic play or taking advantage of a glitch in the game will not be tolerated. Cheesing/cheating is not limited to the rules listed below. Use common sense and you will be fine. Basically, any player that doesn't play "real" football and does thing such as taking a fast qb and running every play or rolling out and running in circles until someone is open every play is considered cheesing. Going for it on 4th down all the time, going deep every time, running the option all the time, onside kicking excessively, etc. are common characteristics as well. Basically, just don't do shit that you know would never be done in real life."

7/17/2008 4:55:39 PM

Not sure if there are injury sliders, but something needs to done. I have my own guys and opposing team's players getting hurt every 4 or 5 plays.

7/17/2008 5:38:42 PM

Anyone want to play? I'll be in the east lobby. (Hey Now 79)

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 5:53 PM. Reason : f]

7/17/2008 5:51:02 PM

I havent had any problems with injuries, but penalties need to be bumped up a bit, might have had 4-5 the entire time I have played

7/17/2008 6:21:33 PM

I stoled my bro's 360 for a bit... if anyone wants to play a game hit me up later tonight...

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 6:27 PM. Reason : ill add you guys so if you ever see me on, im down to play]

7/17/2008 6:26:45 PM

Good stuff Apocalypse, little things like that will make it a lot more fun in the long run, we need more info like that... there HAS to be a site out there that has this type of stuff... I will check some sites but need other people too, especially any of you that get on NCAA09/EA sites, there have to be other people that are doing the same thing, someone has probably made a list


Putting together an injury/suspension list that will affect our league. Remember it will be any player that is hurt/suspended in real life at the time we start the league. Just to make things easier I think we should only include season ending injuries but suspensions of a few games wont be hard to keep track of:

Atlantic Division
Boston College - TreeTwista10

Florida State - HaLo
G - Evan Bellamy - out for season, blood clot in leg

NC State - stixman

Clemson - dgspencer

Wake Forest - scooterncst8

Maryland - tracer


Coastal Division
Georgia Tech - Apocalypse
WR-James Johnson quit team
WR-Greg Smith to RB
RB Jonathan Dwyer to FB

Duke - Slave Famous (Commissioner)

UNC - wolfpack2105

Virginia Tech - Jaybee1200
WR - Brandon Dillard - out for season, ACL
RB - Brandon Ore - kicked off team


Miami - guitarguy

Virginia - pttyndal





also, how do you populate your custom stadium sounds playlist?

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 6:39 PM. Reason : d]

7/17/2008 6:27:24 PM

ok, got it populated, but how to you pick which individual song out of of the playlist you want to use for a specific event?

7/17/2008 7:20:37 PM

^ wanna play a game? probably gonna be laggy though.

7/17/2008 8:08:08 PM

im bout to get on, if anyone wants to play

7/17/2008 8:16:43 PM

ha. we played like shit on 3rd down. damn that lag for making you screw up that first punt and it doinking off my guys head to where you could recover. Lag was a hell of a lot worse than last night. And luckily jaybee had a couple blond moments(dropping the controller and trying to multitask)

make sure you're busy when I make the trip up to blacksburg. hopefully I get this lag straightened out soon. It's a bitch for both sides.

yeah... is it your wireless or something with your system?

"NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement 02:43 PM - July 16, 2008 by OMT We have identified and fixed the bug causing the game to crash when editing rosters. This bug also causes teams to disappear and team ratings to change. The patch is being tested tonight, and assuming all goes well it will be submitted tomorrow for certification. The expected release is in 5-10 days. Until the patch, we recommend you cease editing rosters. Rosters that have been corrupted by the bug will not work after the patch. If you have a roster in progress and have not encountered any freezes or missing teams, it will work after the patch. There is a possibility a roster can be corrupt and not have surfaced any problems yet. This is why we recommend that you stop or back up your work among multiple save files. We are also fixing the bug where the depth chart gets reordered after editing a player with this patch. These are the ONLY fixes in this patch. We are planning on a 2nd patch with many fixes, but we had to get this one out the door. We appreciate everyone's patience on this matter."

Damn, that might be the quickest turnaround ever.

well i just tried to play a game online and lost my connection to ea. didnt lose internet on the laptop, but got d/c'ed in the game. i was up 7-0, state over wvu too...that woulda been a nice boost to the ncaa confidence. oh well. if anybody wants to try playin me and riskin a random d/c, i'm online and willin to try it.

7/17/2008 9:59:24 PM

hmmm, so I would think we are going to have to wait on this for the dynasty

7/17/2008 10:00:12 PM

not preseason schedule again!

i lost out on a 5 star mlb that was actually interested in my school after the reset. now i just have a bunch of scrubs interested in fairyland.

jk btw. i dont mind doin it again, i'm just slow since i havent messed with recruiting in a football game since 04.

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM. Reason : .]

7/17/2008 10:01:24 PM

wait on the patch? We're not changing anything on the rosters so we should be good.

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 10:05 PM. Reason : ]

7/17/2008 10:04:42 PM

^but they say the corrupted rosters won't work after the patch.....so does that mean our rosters would cease to work after the new ones come out?

7/17/2008 10:23:14 PM

Dear Commish,

If you can, could you place the S on the end of Donald Bowens and make Markus Kuhn white? Only if this will not screw with the rosters too much. Either way it will be ok.

Sincerely,

The Fantasy TOB

7/17/2008 10:23:57 PM

Here's the thing

I can't edit the rosters since we've started

But I think that you can go in and edit everything about your players except for their attributes

Like thier names, equipment, race, etc

If not now, then after we advance from the preseason

7/17/2008 10:28:11 PM

Awesome! Thanks for the information.

Also, any clue about the rosters not working thing?

7/17/2008 10:40:25 PM

I haven't seen any roster problems so far when you don't edit the player ratings and enter last names that aren't already in the database, which I haven't

So I don't think we should have problems

7/17/2008 10:49:54 PM

having all those names changed wont make it be considered a "edited roster" and therefore be affected by the patch?


I dont know, just wondering

7/17/2008 11:14:35 PM

I say we give it a shot with this one

I really don't want to make people do all the preseason stuff for a third time

If it messes up, we'll have to start over when the patch comes out

If we wait for the patch, we'll have to start when the patch comes out

So we don't really gain anything by waiting...I say we go ahead with it

7/17/2008 11:20:44 PM

I understand... but if there are any big upsets someone will be pissed hahha

7/17/2008 11:24:27 PM

haha. just simulated the season in dynasty mode and UVA and state both went 4-8. VT beat USC in the national championship. Hell, duke beat state and scored 30 on VT but lost in OT.
