MAC 2008: Preseason tasks Due: 11/9

[bignej]

I figured I would create this in preparation for the upcoming season. The league has been created and everyone who has PM'd me has been sent an invite. Let me know if you need me to resend it. We obviously will not advance for a little while while we give others a chance to join. We will do just like the other leagues and remove all week 1 games. Use this opportunity to look over your schedule and request any changes here. Obviously we do not need to worry about scheduling games with human opponents considering we are all in the same conference.

Mid-American Conference:
East:
Bowling Green---------74 (bignej)
Kent State--------------72 (clebrownsfan)
Akron---------------------72
Miami (Ohio)-----------72
Temple-------------------69 (logan)
Ohio-----------------------67
Buffalo--------------------67

West:
Western Michigan----79 (cmp)
Northern Illinois--------77 (wvufan)
Central Michigan------72 (detoxrox)
Ball State----------------69 (Karlifornia)
Toledo---------------------67 (Balldog)
Eastern Michigan-----64

Please PM if u want in. Teams are 1st come 1st serve.

I gave you a home game vs ARK ST in week 6.

Also I added a home game for BGSU vs FIU in WK 4.

[Logan]

Working on my stuff now...

[Logan]

How about sending a WAC or MWC team to Temple any open week?

Beautiful.

[Logan]

Finally looked over my roster...I can win some games with these boys. Wow, I have a ROLB named Amara Kamara, that's awesome!

Hey nej if I set ready to advance can you still mess around with the schedule?

Yes. Setting ready for advance is just a notification.

[bignej]

Everyone welcome CMP to the league. He will be taking over Western Michigan.

[Logan]

Oh fuck.



Welcome .

done

[bignej]

All, Karlifornia will be taking over Ball State

[Karlifornia]

Ball State is ready to roll

[Balldog]

I sent a PM request for Toledo, really wanted Miami (OH) but can't stand their generic stadium.

[bignej]

Everyone,
Please welcome our newest member, Balldog, who will be taking over the Toledo Rockets. The MAC West is now almost full. Welcome Balldog!

Edit:
He will not have his xbox 360 until about Wednesday. We will advance this stage tonight if noone else joins us.

[bignej]

Can someone change the title of the thread to change the date, I dont have that ability.

[Logan]

You might need to PM Ben so he can give you that ability (detox would probably know).

[DeToxRox]

Double click the thread title. You should be able to edit your own thread titles regardless if you're a mod or not.

If not tell me what you need, I'll do it.

[bignej]

When I double click the thread title, it looks like it will let me edit it, but then it immediately opens the thread.

[DeToxRox]

Try clicking right below the link.

[bignej]

That worked. Thanks!

I will be advancing tonight if everyone is done.

[CleBrownsfan]

I'm down with advancing... havne't even looked at my roster yet... are we using a roster set or default?

[bignej]

We are using the Fairdale Kings roster set. You didn't redshirt your players?

[CleBrownsfan]

I did redshirt - I meant to say I didn't look at the roster to see if they were real name players...

[bignej]

Guys, I tried to advance but it said the EA servers were unavailable. Its weird because I could access all of my online dynasties. I will try again tomorrow night.

[bignej]

OK, I logged in to advance but it is still saying dynasty servers are unavailable. I get the message after I add Toledo/balldog(grismosw7) and try to exit. Instead of uploading the file, it starts to download. I'm able to log on and manipulate my team in this and all my other leagues. Detox, have you aver seen this with the EBFL? Anyone ever seen this?

Try following through with the DL and then upload it after. I haven't encountered this before but it could just be some weird glitch.

[bignej]

It only gives me the option to retry or exit online dynasty. Also, this is all while i am in the "User teams and Coaches" menu. I didn't want to advance it without inviting him because then I will not be able to adjust his schedule.

[bignej]

I guess I can try to advance without inviting and see what happens. Balldog, I'm not sure if there was a week 1 game scheduled or not but we will see. I apologize in advance if it costs you a game.

[DeToxRox]

Hrm. You may wanna check the 09 threads on operation sports. I am not sure.

[bignej]

I searched everywhere. It appears it is because he doesn't have the game yet it cannot complete the invite sending process. I was able to advance and upload to the next stage without an issue.

[Balldog]

Toledo's first game is Week 2 at Arizona so it should not be a problem.

[DeToxRox]

CMU gets two commits week 1 .. Both 2* players, one is an OG and the other a WR. I'm pleased with this, and it's good news we need since our opener is @ #1 Georgia and is destined to be a blowout.
