NCAA 09 Online Dynasty (PS3 SIGNUPS)

[Piney]

While reading online about the Dynasty, I saw where there is still the potential to stop and restart a game against the CPU. Are we going to put in place a rule about the number of times we can restart games? Realizing that there may be legitimate restarts (for example my 10 month old pulling himself up to the PS3 and hitting the power button), but its possible some may restart if they are losing.

Just a thought.

It will probably have to be a honor system thing......... restarting if you are losing is just cheap

I read the same thing fanatic. And thanks for bringing it up as I almost forgot to ask about what we should do. The beauty about being the commish, I will be able to see how many times you restarted. So if BN27 restarted 10 times cuz he couldn't beat Eastern Michigan I would see it. I still haven't found out if you have to be "online" to play your computer game, which means if you lose your connection that would be a restart too.

I can understand a restart now and then. Power goes out, kid pulls plug, wife is PMS'ing and forces you to stop mid-game.

Now how do we police it? If I read correctly I can actually "throw out" results if I want to and sim the game myself. So if I see BN had restarted 12 times to beat Appalachain State then I could throw out his game and I could sim it myself.

As for 1-2 restarts... I don't see how anyone can police that except the honor system. But it is also one of those things once we realize how often "accidental" restarts happen.

So let's open up that topic to see what other people think.

I just saw this thread for the first time. If it's not too late (and admittedly, I haven't read every post), I'm interested.

Smooth Olaf = TaylorBuck

Not too late as we can have up to 12 players and with you we will have 9. And we haven't picked teams yet so you can still have a chance to get your pick. Try to read back some posts but I will sum up.

You can pick any team with a rating of 79 or lower ( http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/...online-dynasty-ps3-signups-3.html#post1185942 has the list of teams)

We are currently voting on how to pick teams. And we kinda need another vote so this is perfect timing So how would you like to pick teams, by a draft or by 1st come 1st serve basis.

Besides that we are tinkering right now with some rules which should be some posts in the past page or two.

those situations should be the only time it is acceptable to restart

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

My opinion should be a maximum number of restarts in any given game; maybe three. Regardless of the reason leads to a simulation.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

Three restarts a game? I was thinking more along the lines of three per season. Yeah, stuff happens at home, but how often? Three may be even too much. Maybe one.

Anyway, I vote for selecting teams through a draft. Of course, I'm the last one to sign up so far, so I have only selfish interests at heart. Nah, the team I want is so bad that it probably won't be taken. But I still vote for a draft.

Okie dokie... with my vote for Draft along with Smooth we now have a 5-3 vote, so it don't matter what msj vote was for.

I will draw teams out of the "hat" at lunch today. There will be no time limit on draft picks until July 7th at 9am et (Since it is the holiday weekend). Then I will implement a 12 hour limit. (So the person with the first pick has until 9pm on Monday to pick)

I will post the draft order in a new post and link to that post on the first post of this thread.

if i don't get the #3 draft pick i'm calling shenanigans.

My only biggest fear in limiting restarts per game (or season) is if you are required to be connected to the internet to play your game. And then in turn if you have a crappy internet connection and keep getting dropped and having to restart. But we won't know that til the game comes out.

This might be one of those things we will know when we see it and once we get a feel for how the online dynasty will work.

So let us just say the rule is pending per how the game works and to be on notice that there will be a limit eventually and the penalty will be throwing out your results and I will simulate the game.

welp as I saw I was too late, but I would have voted for the draft, so lets go ahead and do that, lol.

Also I agree with everyone about restarts and the such. Let's just get this thing going!! And hopefully we can get a 10th before everything starts so we can have an even number of people, for people vs. people matches.

You didn't get #3. So if you want I can redraw before I post the draft order

Then again... you might prefer the original draw.

FYI - Will post the order and all that fun stuff after I finish my lunch. (5-10 minutes)
