FOF2K5 question (Starters playing time)

maximus · 08-25-2005, 08:56 PM

During the regular season, what do you guys usually set the staters playing time to? I would like to use the recommended button but it always puts the playing time to 6 for the QB (for example) Shouldn't it be 9?

Joe · 08-25-2005, 08:59 PM

9 means theyll never come out. its a good way to risk injury. i usually set mine to 7's, sometimes 6 and 8. if I have a stud RB i want to get all the carries that my backup fucks with, then I'll do a 9.

jbmagic · 08-25-2005, 09:05 PM

seems like a 6 or 7 gets most of the plays.

just experiment and look at the gamelog to see how many plays total they got in.

i think a guy with low endurance will be taken out by the cpu if tire regardless what you have for playing time.

maximus · 08-25-2005, 09:05 PM

Got it. Thanks guys.

Joe · 08-25-2005, 09:10 PM

just remember that a 1 means they come out after the 2nd quarter, and everything goes up from there

OK, thanks.

Am I the only one that see that the thread title say FOF2k5? I didn't even know this was available. So I wouldn't know how to answer your question.

Well, because of the updates Jim released I think most use the term "2k5".

Ah...ok...I guess I have been under a rock. I didn't know most people were saying 2k5. Nevermind me..you can go back to actually getting some relevant answers now.

Who says 2k5?

I thought it was considered 2K5. I could have sowrn thats what it's called. Oh well. My bad.

Why would we change the name of the game with FOF2k5 might actually come out?

Stop trying to be a wiseass.

hey bud, I have referenced FOF2K4 as 2K5 many times in the past. See this post for an example.

Being a wiseass has nothing to do with it.

i never said you WERE a wiseass, i said that you were TRYING to be a wiseass. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I didn't mean to "start shit with you" as per your pm. You are obviously trying to stir something up because of your several posts referencing the new FOF game and whatnot. Calling FOF2k4 "FOF2k5" is playing off of this. Please stop trying to stir something up, it's starting to get annoying (plus, you're just going to get slashed at and ribbed for it, regardless).

Am I the only one who read the title and thought - Why is there a game related post on this board? Call the Off-Topic Police!

Touche! Brilliant post.

stevew · 08-26-2005, 07:07 AM

Apparently if you call it 2k5 you get your ass put in the penalty box. Let that be a lesson to the lot of you!

Alf · 08-26-2005, 07:10 AM

Oh, and for the record, there is also a Strategies Forum where these kind of questions can be answered

No, but if you have been a troll in the past, and then have a week-or-so stretch where you push the envelope in post after post (including posting a fake game announcement) you get two weeks in the box.

Yeah, the fake game announcement was pretty damn annoying, i know that's why he got boxed.

I know the timing may have seemed strange, btw. I was at a Tucker JV football game yesterday afternoon, and went straight from there to Date Night with SWMBO. I didn't check the board after around 5:00 or so yesterday afternoon.
