FOUND A NEW CHALLENGE

Posted on November 16, 2017 at 03:52 PM.

When I last left you in my latest dynasty, I had taken a head coaching position at Illinois. What I hadn�t expected was that I went 13-1 including a Rose Bowl win with relative ease. I had figured out how to win most games even with the Fatigue off. So it was time for change #4001. I needed even more difficulty. So I set my sliders to the OS community set (actually the ones before the latest updated set), and I think I found what I�m looking for. I remember getting blown out by Oregon using this setup in a Bowl game, and I was beaten unmercifully. It looks to be the answer now as well.

Continuing my dynasty, I played a game with Fatigue OFF and OS Community Sliders latest version, a 91 ranked Illinois team against mid-80s Old Dominion. It was a challenge, but my team had too much talent for Old Diminion to handle and I won 35-13. I knew that the OS Community set changed this year from a tougher setting, so I went back to version 1/17/2016 but kept threshold at 20. I went up against a 99 rated Michigan team and I finally found my match. I couldn�t score a touchdown for most of the game. Their defense was too strong for my formerly unstoppable running game, true to their ratings. And my quarterback wasn�t a good pocket passer, true to his ratings, so I couldn�t just pass my way out of this. I lost the game 17-10. I was only playing 5 minute quarters, so I�m not concerned about the stats being true to life. If I do want realistic numbers, I know I can always make my games longer. But I couldn�t ask for any more of a good challenge.

Dare I say, it�s starting to make me think I�d like to go back to dynasty reporting. I�m starting a new dynasty with Texas State, so we�ll see how things go.
