Any FBCB fans want to do a league? - Page 2

Chief Rum · 11-30-2003, 06:55 PM

No, it isn't. In fact, we are probably still looking for a few more.

Alan T · 11-30-2003, 06:55 PM

Between marm (Syracuse), Fozzie (BC) and me (Uconn), we have three in the Big East as well

Balldog · 11-30-2003, 07:10 PM

I'm cool with that as well.

I offered to take Seton Hall making four, would that be ok?

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 07:41 PM

Yeah, that's about the limit, 4 to a conference I'd think Unless we have like 6-8 who want a conference

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 07:43 PM

here's the rule set I was going to use for our league:

Starting Season 2003
Attribute Style 0-100
Human Coaches Fired? Yes (but I can understand if folks want to leave this off)
Game Logs? Not unless folks want to, I don't know how much room it'd take up for 16 coaches game logs
Randomize Team Prestige: No
Play-In Game: Yes
Conference Promotions/Demotions: No
Conference Prestige Updates: Yes
Academic Suspensions: Yes.

The_herd · 11-30-2003, 07:47 PM

I like those. I'm all for coaches getting fired, makes you work a little harder and puts some pressure on ya. The attributes on a 0-100 style is almost a must for me, there is no other way to play it IMO.

These settings are the most realistic you could have and thats what I'm for, so it sounds good here.

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 07:48 PM

Also, we have to decide what level of coaching points we want. I figure we want to be GOOD coaches, if not gods, so maybe level 10 (300 Points?)

(100+20 for each level, Level 0=Hard, level 7=-Normal, 15=Easy)

Balldog · 11-30-2003, 07:51 PM

I like them as well, I'd say anywhere between 7-10 for coaching level.

lcjjdnh · 11-30-2003, 07:51 PM

2 Comments:

Personally, I like the A-F letter system for evaluation but I'd be willing to use the 0-100 scale. What do you find is so beneficial to this scales as oppossed to any other one? I only use A-F because I started using it the first time I played and haven't changed since but I'm interested in why you like 0-100 so much.

Second, I like to play on level 7, making a someone whose above average in some things, and average in the rest but on the other hand, we're just competing amongst ourselves, so it's even for everybody in the end.

Easy Mac · 11-30-2003, 07:56 PM

I like the idea of having something set up to where there are 4 players in a conference.

Just to ease this out of the gate (we can change things around later after we get the sim rolling) why don't we do this:

4 PAC 10 teams
4 Big East teams
4 Big XII teams
4 ACC teams

I think this would be the easiest way. Then maybe we could just schedule eachother outside of conference play.

You know, I really can't answer it. I just don't like looking at the A-F ratings, thats one of the problems I had with TDCB. I think its easier to get a feel for a player with the 0-100 ratings. I have a real problem getting into the A-F ratings for some reason.

Its ok. marmel told me that he wants to actually beat me in something, and he likely should have no problem doing it here.. You can keep Tech (Anyhows if I took them, I would run them into the ground anyhows.. and I wouldnt enjoy that)..

What about 0-20?

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 08:31 PM

personally, my reason for selecting 0-100 is that it provides a better varience between players, and those are the ratings it basically uses in the game, I believe

korme · 11-30-2003, 09:17 PM

I would take Cincinnati.

Anyone consider the possibility of doing the future conference changes? Like when the time comes move them to the Big East.

The_herd · 11-30-2003, 09:21 PM

If you take Cincy, I'm willing to be Louisville. It'd be nice to get one more conference USA player as well.

Easy Mac · 11-30-2003, 09:33 PM

I'd be willing to take Memphis if Balldog wants to switch to Oklahoma. That way we can just scratch the ACC and put in CUSA.

tim86432 · 11-30-2003, 10:14 PM

I'll take South Florida if you need another conference USA

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 10:28 PM

Ok, Big East and C-USA complete, from what I See. The Big XII and Pac 10 look to be the other two conferences.

Dutch · 11-30-2003, 10:39 PM

I'll take USC.

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 10:42 PM

Ok.. 2 spots left. One in the Pac 10 (USC, UCLA, 'Zona) and one in the Big XII (Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas)

tim86432 · 11-30-2003, 10:49 PM

I'll take Iowa State if you need another Big XII

SirFozzie · 11-30-2003, 10:50 PM

Er, Tim, you're already taking the fourth spot in C-USA, I believe

tim86432 · 11-30-2003, 10:58 PM

oops thanks

Easy Mac · 12-01-2003, 07:25 AM

SirFozzie · 12-01-2003, 07:30 AM

Since a couple folks are getting this game in the near future/for christmas, when do you want to start?

alterra · 12-01-2003, 08:38 AM

Well, if nobody else wants to play in the Big Ten with me, will I have to switch to another school? My first pick is Wisconsin, but if y'all would rather I play in the Big XII I'll take Colorado...

Alan T · 12-01-2003, 08:43 AM

I can start whenever. I wouldnt mind starting as soon as we got enough people. We can always add more people in later right? (I am guessing that is possible?)

This way it does not lose momentum

Radii · 12-01-2003, 08:53 AM

I just found this thread got really active after being away for most of the weekend... ok what conferences do I get to pick from here? First choice is North Carolina but if everyone else has abandoned the ACC I can go elsewhere np.

SirFozzie · 12-01-2003, 11:08 AM

Radii:

Big East (4) (BC, UConn, 'Cuse Seton Hall
C-USA (4) S.Florida, Memphis, Louisville, Cincy
Pac-10 (3) (Zona, USC, UCLA)
Big XII (4) (Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas)

Looks like the current "hole" is Pac-10 only. If we get enough interest we can open up a fifth conference

And since folks are ready to go, I will create the initial file as 2000, sim to 2003, and then add the human coaches in, a week from today (I work Tues-thurs, Sat and Sunday 2 AM-Noon before having three days off Mon Tues Wed)

Alan T · 12-01-2003, 11:23 AM

Sounds good Fozzie. getting it out before a weekend would be cool (especially since I travel alot for work over the next few weeks

Radii · 12-01-2003, 11:53 AM

I'll go ahead and take Stanford then.

MrBug708 · 12-01-2003, 12:02 PM

Poor Dutch, he took a low major team

RPI-Fan · 12-01-2003, 12:57 PM

I'll play whenever you want to add another team.

HornedFrog Purple · 12-01-2003, 01:45 PM

I planned on getting this after x-mas. If you can add me in when I get it then I will take TCU. I will steal every prospect from Zephyr, Texas.

RPI-Fan · 12-01-2003, 01:47 PM

FWIW, SirFoz: The A-F ratings still are on a 0-100 scale, they're just masked into the letter grade form.

So during the game, your "C+" PF would still have his playing effected by his actual rating (probably a 60 or so).

Dutch · 12-01-2003, 06:41 PM

I wanted UCLA but they were taken, so then I thought about Arizona, but they were taken. Damn, there are over a hundred teams in the game and the only ones I would consider were taken. So I checked my FBCB career and saw that USC went to the final 4 like 4 times. I took them. I hate USC.

MrBug708 · 12-01-2003, 06:48 PM

Well, if you suck, at least you know you made a team worth it, suck

Easy Mac · 12-01-2003, 09:32 PM

bump.

So it looks like we have 16 teams set, just look above for my unffocial official team list.

So if anyone is about ready to go, I say lets. I can probably get the game by the time we are ready to start.

Neuqua · 12-02-2003, 12:13 AM

I'll probably get in with the second batch of owners, so let me know when you guys expand on the 16.

SirFozzie · 12-02-2003, 12:50 AM

Ok. I'll do my best to have a file up on Thursday night/Friday

SirFozzie · 12-02-2003, 12:52 PM

Dolabumping for the new thread. Simming 2000-2003 now.

henry296 · 12-02-2003, 05:19 PM

I might be interested in the 4th Big 10 Team, but how much work is it. Do you do your recruiting and set your lineup/depth chart for the month and send a file to the commish?

Probably, I can't imagine it being overwhelming. We can't trade or sign free agents.
