A couple of questions for the TCY guys

Darkiller · 10-26-2003, 05:50 PM

I'm having some fun with TCY right now, much more than I have ever have before and I have a couple of questions for you guys :

Q1- How do you improve your prestige ?
is that by winning more & more games, by playing in Bowls..and eventually winning them ?

Q2- What happens if I have, as it is the case on my roster currently: one ILB and five OLB...does the game fills the holes at ILB with OLB or IF the OLBs are MUCH better than the one ILB : does it replaces him right off the bat ?

Q2 expanded
or : can I do that myself and it is fine ? I mean, am I not going to "lose to much" if I place an OLB within the ILB's slot ?

Thanks for your inputs.

All of the above.

I believe the ILB will start by default, and backups will be OLB's - not sure though.

Q2 expanded

No, you won't lose too much performance if you move an OLB to ILB (though it is tough to measure empirically).

Thanks for your inputs.

No problem.

Yup. Winning games in general, bowl games in particular, and beating your rival.

Q2- What happens if I have, as it is the case on my roster currently: one ILB and five OLB...does the game fills the holes at ILB with OLB or IF the OLBs are MUCH better than the one ILB : does it replaces him right off the bat ?

No, you will get non-recruited walk-ons. They aren't very good, and they generally hurt your academics as well.

Q2 expanded
or : can I do that myself and it is fine ? I mean, am I not going to "lose to much" if I place an OLB within the ILB's slot ?

You can put an OLB there in the depth chart, without much penalty.

I may have misunderstood Q2. Yes, ILB will start by default, no matter how bad he is, AND you will gain a walk-on or two that week.

RPI-Fan · 10-26-2003, 06:39 PM

Yea', I think the second part of my answer was wrong. The ILB will automatically start, but the backups will be walk-ons, NOT other OLB's.

Darkiller,

Always be aware of the number of athletes at each position, and try to make sure that you're adequately stocked (to avoid the dreaded talentless walk-on with poor academics). Even if you don't have depth with scholarship athletes, at the end of the recruiting season invite a couple of high academic walk-ons so you won't get penalized with the idiots walking on mid-season.
