New league forming and other stuff
Quote:
Quote:
So JR's posts got me to thinking. It's not a big secret that the Pyramid hasn't caught my interest quite like I hoped it would. For whatever reason, I'm having a hard time developing a real affinity for my Florida Atlantic squad, even though we had a much more successful season last year. If and when JR takes over as commish, I will play out that season and then most likely resign from the Pyramid. (None of this affects The Ladder). If nobody takes over as commish, I will keep the Pyramid going, but probably put my team on autopilot or something like that due to time constraints. I think part of the problem is that I compromised too much in the formation of the league, and bargained away the parts that I liked best. So here is my stab at making a league that combines multiple goals that I've had for NCAA 2014 ODs. 1. I love the teams of IHOF, but I don't want to play FOF anymore. It's just not my thing. This new league will feature a conference of teambuildered versions of IHOF teams. All human teams would come from that list, and once it starts, nobody else will be allowed to join. Any team that isn't human-controlled will be given a strong roster and good pitches. Here's a peek at the teams that this league would feature. My team in this league will be my beloved Rochester Lake Monsters. 2. Users will be on even footing to start. Each team will start with the same crappy roster located in the same crappy recruiting state. Which state is negotiable, but it will be a crappy recruiting state. I suggest New York. CPU-controlled teams will be located in their regular state (Brooklyn in New York, Chesapeake in Virginia, etc.) 3. Recruiting will be limited to 2 stars and below. 4. All user Coaches will get a low number of points to start off (5 or less, with the exact number open to negotiation). Progression speed will be one of the two lowest settings. 5. For consistency, we'll use the same gameplay sliders that the other two leagues use, although I'm open to shorter quarters to limit stat-whoring. 6. We'll either have a 12-team conference with 2 divisions , or a 10-team conference where every team plays everyone else in the league with a round-robin 9-game conference schedule. 7. When in doubt, I will lean toward making it more challenging for humans. 8. To accommodate the possibility of more human vs. human games, this league will probably move somewhat slower at times. 9. No transfer ins can be accepted, and all players wishing to leave early must be allowed to do so. Last edited by Kodos : 03-27-2015 at 12:42 PM. |

Excellent. They are yours.
With that, this league is officially going to happen. All I needed was at least one other owner. Last edited by Kodos : 03-25-2015 at 04:49 PM. |

Orlando for reals. And I definitely vote for 2 stars and below.. I would make an exception for juco guys, but I think that would be too hard to keep track of. We just have to confirm that there is enough 2 star and lower talent to feed our teams.

Interesting. I like a lot.
Need to think on it though. The all head to head format would probably be tough with my schedule. Can I reserve the Tigers with the caveat that I may ultimately not be able to join. |

Player pool count by position based on 2 star setup:
QB: 29 2*, 21 1* RB: 30 2*, 20 1* FB: 21 2*, 36 1* WR: 53 2*, 44 1* TE: 27 2*, 13 1* T: 48 2*, 38 1* G: 56 2*, 48 1* C: 28 2*, 19 1* Judging by this, it appears there are more than enough potential recruits. I like the idea of us battling over a smaller pool of less talented players and trying to make something out of a bunch of 2 star nobodies.

I do wonder about walkons in the 2-star scenario. They might be better than recruited players.

To look at the uniforms for each team, go to TeamBuilder | NCAA Football | EASports.com and log in. Click on My Teams, enter Kodos For Prez in the Author field, and choose NCAA 2014 for the year. If you would like tweaks to a uniform, let me know. Or if there is an IHOF team you'd like me to re-create that I haven't made already, we can try to do that. All of the cool team designs are cuervo's.

I wouldn't mind having the Orlando Talons instead of the Knights.

I couldn't find the Talons logo, so I made a substitute classic Atlanta Falcons logo. See what you think of it. (I'm not a star with this stuff.)

Do you like the blue or white helmet better? I'll make the preferred one the primary.

blue primary, white alternate sounds good.
Blue jersey, black pants, plenty of white mixed in.

Hey Kodos.. Ted Wolf looks like a future star, haha. I dig the unis except for the name on the front of the jerseys. I don't mind leaving that part blank.
Don't forget to cupcake our teams before starting this thing though. I think it would kind of render the first 4 or 5 seasons moot to start with any kind of real talent.

Yeah. Haven't gotten that far yet. These were all made for a solo league that I rarely have time to play where I edited in actual IHOF players associated with each team. Ted Wolf is an IHOF Hall-of-Famer.

The site is not letting me save changes.
If you'd like, you can pick out jerseys and pant styles that you like, tell me the numbers, and I'll put those in for you the next time the site is working. |

Call me a maybe on this one. I don't know when I will have access to the web after this weekend and do not know when I will have internet at the new place.

Very excited for this league. I love the idea of starting with true cupcakes and handicapping us.

Just a random thought. You need to make a rule that transfer ins are not allowed. Otherwise with the cupcake team studs will be coming in every year.
Also the interesting part is going to be Jucos. I know I lost a 2 start 82 OVR Juco LB last season in The Pyramid. |

You can get good players, but you only get em for 2 years usually. I think it makes weighing the options between a Juco guy and a true freshman more interesting.

After poking around a bit, I think we should use Georgia State for our rosters. Any other suggestions? I would also want to edit the top 2 QBs speed and acceleration ratings down to 60 to make QB scrambles more difficult.

I was thinking just make them all cupcakes. If Georgia State is worse though, we can do that.

Looking forward to games against the cpu where it is going to be a genuine struggle to win.

No problem. I am VERY particular about these things myself. My theory is that anything that helps with immersion is good. One of my problems with FAU was that I hated their uniforms. Last edited by Kodos : 03-26-2015 at 04:00 PM. |

My thoughts as well. My game with Wyoming in the pyramid inspired this idea.

Okay, I tried to do this as close as possible. I have no control over belt color. I took the numbers off of the sleeves on the alt jerseys. I gave you Georgia State's roster. We'll need to figure out what to do about pitches. |

I've changed Asheville's roster as well now. EF and JR , feel free to download and test out the teams. EF, if you have uniform preferences, let me know.

Not changing other rosters until we confirm guys are in. I have customized rosters, and don't want to erase my changes for someone who opts not to play.

I've decided to go with a 10-team division. That will give us 9 conference games (round robin). Plus, I will add 2 more IHOF teams as independents or as members of an existing conference (wherever they fit best).

Massluis,
But I won't be up and ready for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
