NCAA Football (PS3) Promotion/Relegation Online Dynasty

[IronBuckI]

All of my Ohio kids are back to being from Ohio. Stupid EA. I just about shit when I thought I was going to lose Ohio as a pipeline. I made a late run to sign two 2*s to get me back to 4 players from Ohio only to have 8 on my roster at cut time. I'm sure that I could have spent my time on better players than a 63 OVR OLB (cut). Oh well, I'm still pretty happy with the overall caliber of my team, regardless of star rating.

I have an awesome luxury at QB right now. I have an 89 OVR SR, an 88 OVR SO(Rs), and a mid to high 70's FR(Rs). I can redshirt the senior to get his OVR even higher, and really get him a good draft position two years from now. I put the super fast freshman ATH at WR instead of QB, but he's good enough to play QB if the Sophomore and Freshman QBs get hurt.

I'm looking from my iPhone and it shows all my ATH are not in their positions I put them in. Is this a glitch with online?

It could be. I'm not sure I trust the website 100%, especially during the offseason. If possible, I'd check on the PS3 before getting too pissed. Here's the thing. My last dynasty save occurred during training results, so we can't go back to position changes if your stuff is wrong.

At worst, the CPU would move the players to the position that it believes best, it shouldnt leave them designated as an ATH. I just got home and am doing it on the PS3.

Everything is good to go. They just weren't showing up online.

Advanced to custom conference. This may take a little bit of time. I'm going to setup BCS bowl games to try and prevent any non-NCG user matchups. I'm also promoting all but one of the Independents to the lower level conferences. Having all teams, save one, in a conference will help the cpu balance out schedules, and I won't have so many teams playing generic FCS opponents.

 

[IronBuckI]

Advanced to the preseason.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

Done.

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

Done, IBI you're the only one left.

Schedules have been posted.

I tried to make our schedules quite a bit harder this season. Part of that was to play a major OOC on the road, giving all of us only 6 home games, but I couldn't pull that off. If I had done that, Olaf would've been without a home game for three consecutive weeks, and Piney would've had to open the season at Oklahoma in week 2. I didn't think it was fair to group Olaf's home games like that, and Piney opening on the road was the final deal breaker, and I went back to giving all of us 7 home games.

I was unsuccessful in scheduling any of our primary rivals this season, or really scheduling any of our rivals (except maybe Olaf's) in a useful recruiting week. Everyone does still have a home rivalry game, but they're scheduled in weeks 2-4, because that's the best I could do.

Good start to my recruiting class, 4 4* commits;

75 G
71 WR (95 SPD 87 route running)
78 TE - though he is only 37% scouted; he may drop
68 RB - he is 67% scouted and I probably shouldn't have offered him yet, but I will take it

 

[Smooth Olaf]

I'll call your four 4* commits with four of my own.

I'm done. I was the only one with a game. Only Piney had recruiting to do and it looked like he was doing it when I logged off.
