New BBCF League featuring Division 2 teams

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 02:10 PM

I took a 4 year old D2 mod from the Greydog site that was about 90% finished and finished it. I had to move some teams around for balance but all 148 D2 teams are included (to the best of my knowledge) ... I simmed 5 years for history and we are currently selecting teams. First sim will be Tuesday may 5th and it is the Budget sim.

Sign up here

BLD2

Passacaglia · 04-29-2009, 02:43 PM

Link doesn't work. Do you have a list of what the prestige for each school is?

Comey · 04-29-2009, 03:04 PM

PSAC in there?

Balldog · 04-29-2009, 08:04 PM

D2 with bowl games???? No thanks.

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 08:08 PM

PSAC is in there .. weird the link works for me

you can find the league through bigleaguesports.net

There isn't a list of prestige but you can find it through the BLD2 tab and hit league reports

There is a 16 team playoff and about 20 other bowl games ... If the game was capable of having a 32 team playoff then there wouldn't be any bowl games ... with a human controlled league rewarding only 16 out of 148 teams with a post season game would drive people away.

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 08:11 PM

In the first five seasons Bloomsburg won 4 PSAC titles and Indiana PA won the other ... both teams made several trips to the playoffs.

Bloomsburg prestige is 84, Indiana (PA) is at 85. Slippery Rock is the only team taken so far in the PSAC

AH cool, I read it wrong! I'll sign up for the Findlay Oilers!

Passacaglia · 04-29-2009, 08:19 PM

GVSU already taken? Man. I'd like Michigan Tech, please. Is anything being done to the player files to give it more of a D2 feel?

Passacaglia · 04-29-2009, 08:21 PM

Tried to join via the web site, but it told me the security code was not correct. But it was.

All the front page stuff is new ... I send a PM to Todd to let him know .. most are just signing up through the thread right now ... which is the link in the first post ... or here without the www infront of it

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 08:26 PM

Board is a little screwy right now ... so that may be the problem also ...

You are allowed two teams as long as their starting prestige is under 125 combined

GoldenEagle · 04-29-2009, 09:04 PM

What is Delta State's prestige and have they been taken?

Comey · 04-29-2009, 09:29 PM

Bloom went to the 2001 title game (where they lost to Delta State, I believe)...they had an unbelievable comeback in the 4th Q against JT O'Sullivan and UC Davis to make that happen.

They've really become quite the regional/national power the past 10 years...they were good when I was there, but got really consistent and a player on the national stage (as national as D2 can get) over the last 5-6 seasons.

Jahri Evans, OG for New Orleans, is a Bloom grad.

Man, if I had BBCF on this computer, I'd be really tempted to take them.

Any other restrictions, like different regions or whatnot?

Not real sure what you are asking but I didn't do anything with the regions

Passacaglia · 04-29-2009, 10:18 PM

What I mean is this: In the BB-BBCF, the rule is that you have two teams, they can't be in the same region. Is there a rule like that here? (I don't know if the BB-BBCF says they have to be in different conferences, but that sorta seems like a given.

Also, is the 125 prestige limit based on the initial season, or throughout? For example, if I take two teams with prestige of 125, and next season it moves up to 130, do I need to drop one to stay at 125 or below?

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 10:23 PM

It is only on initial prestige what you do with them after that is up to you ... I don't have a problem if the teams are in the same region ...

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 10:25 PM

The one thing I will say is that I based initial prestige on the winning % of the last 10 years for every team (or however long they had been around if not 10 years) and there is a wide gap between the haves and the have nots in this league

Just sign up for the forums and sign up in the team selection thread .. I have reserved Michigan Tech for you though

I think I'm waiting for my account to be activated. But I just sent you a PM requesting Michigan Tech and Virginia Union.

mh2365 · 04-29-2009, 10:37 PM

added your info over in the forum so your teams are set ... thanks

I like it, I mean I was looking at GVSU and they are loaded...especially compared to Findlay! Seems realistic to me, I wish I could have about 5 of their LBs though.

Passacaglia · 04-30-2009, 09:51 AM

Hmm, looks like I just can't get on at work -- the site doesn't like the proxy I use to get around work filters.

Pumpy Tudors · 04-30-2009, 09:54 AM

I'm not planning to join the league (just not really into multiplayer text sims anymore), but I will be following along. I'll be cheering for Seton Hill in the WVIAC!

Dr. Sak · 04-30-2009, 09:59 AM

Where can you download this D2 mod at?

mh2365 · 04-30-2009, 10:04 AM

I haven't put it up anywhere yet ... I'll see if I can find some place to host it ... the only thing to remember is that I switched some teams to different conferences to make the game work better ...

mh2365 · 04-30-2009, 10:16 AM

It's not that big of a file so here it is ... other things to remember, back up your original pstat and helmets file ... the bowls are made up ... I have been fixing things as I find them within the league I set up, haven't made all the changes in the pstat file so you may find a few colors off here and there or a few nicknames off.

ntndeacon · 04-30-2009, 10:17 AM

Let's go Golden Bears!

toddersv · 05-04-2009, 11:35 AM

This league is going to be a ton of fun. Come on over to Big League Sports and check it out!

mh2365 · 07-13-2009, 12:03 AM

Rounding out the playoffs now .. championship is Thursday night ... one thing that is making me laugh is Valdosta State. Best team in BLD2 and in six seasons they have not lost a regular season game. For six years they have choked in the playoffs, never even making it to a title game.

Plenty of teams available ... good time to get in also.

claphamsa · 07-13-2009, 10:31 AM

with BB BBCF folding, I would join this... but its on BLSF... Cogs got it blocked at work for me

mh2365 · 07-15-2009, 11:59 AM

do you have to run it at work? You don't have to be a member of the board to play ...

Valdosta State's coach resigned so the best regular season team in the BLD2 is available

claphamsa · 07-15-2009, 12:55 PM

I do 90% of my sim stuff at work

gotta entertain during lunch

RainMaker · 07-15-2009, 01:47 PM

Glad someone has my alma mater Winona State. :-)

mh2365 · 07-18-2009, 09:58 AM

Albany State won the title this season, the first with human coaches. They aren't currently owned. Coach hires start today, great time to join.

Also is there anyone who doesn't think Winona State should change their nickname to the Big Brown Beavers?

mh2365 · 07-23-2009, 11:28 PM

Starting transfers now so closing in on recruiting

mh2365 · 07-30-2009, 04:26 PM

One more transfer sim and then recruiting starts on Saturday ... good time to join ... link in post 31
