[Kodos]

People are creating teams over in general discussion. As soon as the league is complete, I will let her rip!

Go make sure that your team gets in to the field of 32!

This dynasty will be on Wall Street, with fake players.

This dynasty will be on Wall Street, with fake players.

Are you using a one-player universe file?

[Kodos]

Correction. Here are my settings:

Preference Draft
Alt file? No.
X - Yes
Pers-Yes
Firing? No.
Level field? No
Wall Street

Away we go!

[Kodos]

For the preference draft, I maxed out QB, WR, Sec. Linemen I put at 3/4, RB at 1/4, everything else min.

I maxed out starters, pass defense, experience, pass blocking. Loyalty and popularity left in the middle.

We want an offensive oreinted team that can light 'em up. We are Gamblers, after all. :)

Well, perhaps we should have put the QB slider at maxed and everything else at least a notch lower. Joey McElroy, our best QB, is scouted as only the 10th best in the league at 41/41. Nice ceiling there, bub. :(

Initial impressions:


Las Vegas Gamblers Roster, Scout Overview

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
McElroy, Joey 8 QB QB 14 41 41 1 yr.
Cole, Dan 19 QB 12 37 37 1 yr.
Agrawall, Claude 2 QB 18 31 35 1 yr.
##Hutchison, Ian 9 QB 5 14 24 1 yr.

Alright, this looks grim. We have a bunch of old QBs, none of whom look like studs.


Finch, Rod 43 RB RB 3 50 53 2 yrs
Duran, Leland 29 RB 6 37 37 2 yrs
Leahy, Bucky 25 RB 7 32 32 1 yr.
##Fadler, Jeff 49 RB 2 27 32 1 yr.
George, Lonnie 27 FB FB 7 48 48 1 yr.
##Becker, Carlton 37 FB 2 25 40 1 yr.

Rod Finch looks pretty decent, and is young. But he doesn't look to have a high ceiling.

Rose, Darrell 87 TE TE 7 81 81 3 yrs
Collins, Grady 84 TE 4 44 56 3 yrs
Turner, Les 89 TE 5 31 41 2 yrs

Darrell Rose looks like he could be the next Chuck Farley. :)

McCarthy, Roy 88 FL FL 6 55 55 2 yrs
Coble, Robbie 81 FL 6 41 41 1 yr.
Brock, Bruce 86 FL 9 35 35 2 yrs

##Winslett, Sedrick 82 FL 7 23 23 1 yr.
Schnebele, Brant 83 SE SE 4 47 60 1 yr.

These guys look average to me. Maybe I am looking through FOF 2004 glasses?

Rhodes, Leonard 51 C C 6 87 87 5 yrs

Walters, Charles 60 RT RT 20 59 59 2 yrs
Kennedy, Gabe 76 RT 6 44 44 2 yrs
##Mills, Duane 73 RT 4 33 34 1 yr.

Our offensive line looks to be one of the bst in the league. But wow! 20 years old?

Tenbroeke, Ralph 12 P 1 28 46 1 yr.
Hartman, Stan 11 K 9 38 40 1 yr.

I hate kickers.

Dave Greene looks like a stud in his prime. Everyone else? Meh.

One shutdown CB in Shane Neal, one very good in Lee Webster. Excellent.

Lotsa guys signed to one year deals. That $9 million should disappear quickly.

Unfortunately, I'm pooped. Will pick this back up tomorrow. Goodnight, folks.

[JeffW]

Look on the bright side--if you ever do find a promising young QB, he'll have plenty of classy veterans to teach him the ropes. :D

For some reason, that doesn't sound right.

I've decided to cancel this dynasty in favor of bringing back The Bill Gates Challenge (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=53816). I hope folks don't mind. :cool:

Freakin' aliens and their short attention spans. :p

[Kodos]

Yep. Basically it comes down to the fact that I can't write a straight dynasty. It just won't hold my attention. Basically, I should finish the Bill Gates Challenge and retire from the dynasty business.

Well, except for if I decide to resurrect the paint chip eating dynasty. :p

Kodos, I was thinking: could you make the "frfoot.*" files to create this universe available? I really liked the names of the teams. It would be a nice alternative for playing in a fictional universe.

Unless they are Werewolf-related, but that's just common sense.
