The Mike Brown Challenge

[Scarecrow]

Seeing how Cincinatti is an intriging situation in real life, I decided to start a challenge based on Mike Brown and is GM'ing.

Start a New Game
Name: Mike Brown
Team: Cincinatti Bengals
Difficulty: Wall St
Allow expansion teams
Begin with player allocation draft
Make sure no other box is checked

Draft Preferences
QB, RB, WR, K: Max
OL, DL, LB, DB: Min
Potential/Experience: Full potential
Loyalty: None
Popularity: None

House Rules
1. Must be 10% below the cap
2. Hire a new coach each year with no experience
3. All fan favorites must be trades/released in the off-season (Carl Pickens rule)
4. The most disgruntled player must be franchised (Corey Dillon rule)
5. No signing FA during FA period
6. No one with over 7 years experience
7. Cannot sign FA with over 5 yrs experience
8. All reccomends in FA & Draft based on future potential
9. You must draft based on your strength (for instance: if you are Ex/Ex at WR, you draft a WR in the 1st round)
10. Depth charts are based on future estimates (for instance: if your star QB is VG/VG and you draft a QB Poor/Ex, the draftee starts)

Let's see how it goes...

that sounds like an interesting challenge.

Priceless!

[Ctown-Fan]

That is classic, I don't see much success (the game imitating life) but then again, roster evaluation will keep you really busy. Especially with those second year fa's who start griping because their ratings in the 0-10 range aren't enough for them to start. Does this mean you may have to tag players that spend a season on the inactive list?

[Kosta]

Hmm Interesting......

[Grego]

As a long suffering Bengals fan, I think 10% is a more realistic rule to follow. In the later years of this challenge, your challenge would be more true to life (sad as it may be.....)

No, it's now known as a Zfecta.

I agree. We are ruining the integrity of the forum....

This morning, this was one of the few dynasty posts that made it across from the old boards. Bringing back old memories, especially about how I lost everything when my HD died, I have decided to start it back up.

I have deleted the original posts so that I don't get confused.

So when can we expect more of the Mike Brown Challenge? And what happened to the SportSims?:confused:
