NCAA09 PS3 Big Ten-Pac Ten Dynasty (Official Thread)

[IronBuckI]

I'm just trying to make a last push for some DTs and LBs. I also have a 2* QB with wicked speed that I'll have in for a visit this week. Hopefully he'll be a good compliment to my other freshman QB. Both will have better speed than LeFevour, and will be nice additions when I go back to the Air Force playbook. I have some other guys too, but no realistic shot at getting them.

I'll tell you, these two leagues are a blast. My recruiting assets are opposite ends of the spectrum comparatively speaking. I am excited that I landed a handful of 2* players with KSU that would be throw away type players on BYU.

 

[IronBuckI]

I've always loved to build programs from the bottom up like this. When they had 1AA teams in the game, I used to replace Army and Navy with Yale and Harvard and build them from scratch. It was always rough the first couple of seasons when I'd get wacked by Middle Tennessee State, but I could eventually turn both into national powers. I love program building in these games.

Tell me about it. I'm not recruiting anything under a 4* in the other dynasty and I'm praying I get one 3* in this one

 

[Piney]

Why am I so backwards? In the other dynasty I am jumping up and down if I can grab a 4* recruit and most of the guys I signed last year were 2*.

Here I am only signing 4-5 2* and most of my recruits are either high 3* or 4* recruits.

Of course that just shows how much better Ohio is than SMU

STOP YELLING.

We have advanced through 'Training Results' and are now on 'Cut Players'.

We will advance to the Preseason at 10 PM EST Monday night. We will be in preseason mode until Wednesday night, at least. It will take me that long to get schedules made, and get my own preseason stuff finished.

You going to schedule it tough again? I vote yes, but just curious. This will be a rebuilding year for the Flashes. Decent bowl game is my goal.

Yes and no. CMU, KSU, OU, and NIU will get one warm-up game and 3 very tough games, unless otherwise requested. BGSU and WMU will get a mixed bag (one tough, one cupcake, and 2 or 3 mediocre teams), like everyone had last season. Temple will get Penn State at home, and I'll see what's available for Ball State to play their tough opponent at home. Miami will be cupcake city, in the hopes that simulating 'mania's games can still get him a win, and that he'll be back in time to play his conference games.

We have advanced to the preseason. Not sure when our next advance will be.

I would like Marshall to be my warmup game

 

[THEWOOD]

Are the ranking the preseason rankings yet? Or still last seasons?

I'll see what I can do. Right now, it's #8 Missouri, but they're only rated a 'B' overall. You currently have the toughest schedule, if everything remains the same, so giving you Marshall will even that out a bit.

I believe they are the rankings for season 2. All of the rankings for the other teams were for season 2 when I was making the schedules last night.


I'll post the OOC teams for everyone, and let everyone know how many human games they'll have this season. Remember, I have no control over the number of human games. The only thing that I have a reasonable amount of control over is everyone's OOC games.


BN27. I tried about 5 different combinations of bye weeks and OOC games to try and get you a home game against Penn State, and couldn't work it out...then I scrolled down to the bottom of your schedule and found that the computer had already scheduled you for Penn State, at home, the last game of the season.
