Bryan Clark has penned yet another article talking about online dynasty in NCAA Football 09. This time, Clark takes a look at sportsmanship, check out his article here.

	"Good sportsmanship is supposed to be taught in Little League, but the parents sometimes ruin it. The end result: Roger Clemens throwing a splintered bat toward Mike Piazza or Woody Hayes punching an opposing player. Pakistani cricket fans sure haven�t figured it out either. But you should, if you want to have fun in your online dynasty."

And i also agree the commish needs to be a people person willing to put the time in to bring his owners together into a group that you can consider friends more than opponents. If the commish has the trust of everyone, it's much easier to settle disputes and get guys talking objectively about issues and realizing that everyone gets emotional from time to time. Good post Odogg

Thanks RynoAid! I've got a great core group of guys, some from here and some I've just found in random online games (yes you CAN find really cool people in randoms, it just takes a lot of randoms).

Also, not to be a Negative Nellie but one thing i learned is don't automatically trust someone from a website, such as OS here, that you know and see in the forums for years. I had a couple of guys from here and another site join my leagues that really weren't good participants.

That brings me back to the year Ted Ginn first was a Buckeye and he had played QB in high school. I did run him a couple of times at QB (draw plays) but I felt guilty about it and honestly he didn't do much so I quit doing it.

As I've stated before I really do try to do the same things in the game as coaches do in real life, even sometime things that people may not like and/or that can be viewed as cheese if the person doesn't know the real life team.

I'm sure Gator fans can relate that play this way. I imagine a lot of people who controlled them when Tebow first came in and tried to use Tebow like the real Gators do caught a lot of flak for doing it.

There is definitely a broader canvas for what is considered legit in the college game vs. Madden. It's a much more diverse game both offensively with tricked up stuff like the "Pistol" and the Spread Option type stuff that A&M runs. Not to even mention that circus out in Lubbock... ;-). And on defense you can legitemately run a 3-3-5 as a base or a 4-6 without someone being able to complain that it's unrealistic or not a simulation of NCAA football.

I think they (madden vs. ncaa) are two different monsters that require a different level of scrutiny.
