Can we set our out of conference schedules in game or do we have to ask you to set up what we want?
My schedule is fine if its a pain in the butt to change anything, but if its easy to change, I'd like to replace Navy with... lets say Wyoming. I don't really care, any team that doesn't run the triple option, I beat the triple option teams easily last year but it is so, so unfun to play against. :P Last edited by Radii : 05-11-2014 at 03:02 PM. |

I'm the only one who can make changes to the schedules, but I'm happy to make whatever changes any of you might like.
Personally, I get tired of playing the no-huddle teams. Last edited by Kodos : 05-12-2014 at 09:25 AM. |

As long as we don't play the FCS teams we are ok right? it's not like we can promise the recruits things like we did in 13 (Unless I am missing something)

Right. FCS teams are outlawed, but nobody had any on their default schedule.

FIU Requests:
Basically an easy schedule that is on par with our talent level. Scratch SDSU. I would prefer to open the season against a very easy opponent. Like a UAB, Akron, Idaho, New Mexico St, UMass or Eastern Michigan would be ideal. I don't want to play Louisville as I played them last season. I would like one of Bowling Green, Colorado St, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), MTSU, Nevada, Troy or Tulane. Or one from the list above if none are available. Pittsburgh is a game we'll keep. And are we able to schedule week 15 games? Because I want a home game on week 15 if so. Last edited by vex : 05-12-2014 at 03:03 PM. |

If you beat a rival with recruits visiting, it is still a boost in points, I think. So, you may want to consider keeping a rival on your home schedule. |

did my recruiting, only a couple people weren't listed as ready to advance in game. The winning season was good to me apparently, a lot of 4* guys have me in their top 10 to start the year.

Its gonna be hard for me to stay up in this conference, maybe impossible. We played a super close game against 90 rated Arkansas, losing 38-31 in double OT. The problem? That was at home, so we've got a bunch of road conference games coming up, and more importantly, that 90 rated Arkansas team is the lowest rated conference opponent we will face this year.

Just jumped in to do recruiting and checked the sliders. Does not appear they were updated either.

You know, the same thing happened in a solo dynasty that I just started. I know the changes were made and saved, because I always make the changes, then save, then go back in to verify they stayed, because I'm paranoid like that. I'm going to blame this on EA. |

I will try to apply the sliders settings again for Week 2. EA is so annoying with their half-baked games.

We managed to pull off the win against Vandy. We were 70's in OFF, DEF and OVERALL and Vandy was in the 80's across the board.
It was a strong defensive effort on stopping the pass that helped, he did take the lead at the start of the 4th but we managed to take the drive and slowly march it down the field where we were able to punch it in. QB went just over 100 yards passing and 100 yards rushing. My OL sucks, my DL can hold but my strength is in the WR / DB / LB area. I do have a talented RB, but he ended up getting hurt and missing the 2nd half of the game. On to UCLA and a potential ass kicking next week.

We're on to Week 2. It shows the sliders I set up in game. Maybe they'll show up for you guys this week?

My QB this season looks to be a bit of an upgrade over the abomination I had last year. Was down early 14-0 to Western Michigan, but settled in, and got a 17-14 lead in the 4th quarter. They tied it at 17 all, and I drove down and got a game winning kick with a little less than 30 seconds left.

If it wasn't for our stellar defense, we would have been destroyed by SDSU. Thankfully, we were able to get the 20-6 win to open the season. We had 2 INTs and 8 sacks, which was crucial because our offense was only able to muster 171 total yards.
Had a strange bug. About halfway? through the 3rd quarter, the score of the game, the playclock and the down/ytg completely disappeared. I had no way to tell what down it was other than the announcers. It all went back to normal when the 4th quarter started, which was good because it would have made killing the clock impossible. |

So the sliders showed up as adjusted when I went in to look at them. Can someone verify if they are showing up for others? If defense is on Heisman, that's the adjusted set.

My defense isn't good enough to withstand the numerous mistakes I made on offense against a team rated 10+ points higher than me. I made a game out of it for a bit but couldn't get a stop when I needed it.
I'm ready to advance. |

I forgot to check on the sliders but I am pissed. 38-27 loss to UCLA, we controlled the game statistically, the main issue is our TE's couldn't catch when they were wide open and we needed it...oh, and anytime UCLA had the ball and needed to score they did.
We screwed up a 4th down play in UCLA's end which in turn allowed them to march down a shortened field and score the go ahead on us. The team is looking good, but I think injuries will do us in.

We beat a tough Kent State team at their place, their QB ran for so much on us between read option keepers and scrambles, but that was the bulk of their offense. We got a 28-25 win.

I'm showing All-American too and the carry over sliders from last season. I don't think they updated.
