The Ladder 2012 Pre-season - Due Friday 2/10 at 11 p.m. EST - Page 2

Kodos · 01-28-2012, 09:04 PM

On to the final week of recruiting.

MacroGuru · 01-28-2012, 09:24 PM

Woot!

3* Punter, signed with an A+ visit, 2* DE, 2* T and another 1* OLB

gotta help me somehow...but the amount of promises I have with the recruits will make for a young team playing in certain spots.

Kodos · 01-31-2012, 08:34 PM

Final recruiting class rankings:

19 Rice
29 USF
35 Kansas
49 Indiana
50 Duke
79 USC
85 Buffalo

Looks like IU gorged itself on 2-star guys relative to other teams.

Kodos · 01-31-2012, 08:37 PM

Time for position changes.

cartman · 01-31-2012, 09:43 PM

The #19 class?!!? Awesome!

gstelmack · 02-01-2012, 07:21 AM

Have to see who I actually signed in the last sim. The web site doesn't have it. But if I jumped all the way to 29, I must have landed a couple of the 4-* guys I jumped on late.

Kodos · 02-01-2012, 07:23 AM

I definitely grabbed too much low-hanging fruit. My defense is going to be awful.

MacroGuru · 02-02-2012, 10:46 AM

This years team, we might win a few games...our defense looks a bit stronger than it did last season. But I do not have the talent I need in certain areas.

But I think I can pull off some wins because I removed the roller skates on your lineman mod.

gstelmack · 02-02-2012, 10:48 AM

So apparently my number 29 ranking came from a whole bunch of WRs/QBs that I had dropped off of deciding to sign with me at the last minute. I expect some transfers in the next season or two. On the plus side, one of them was another 4* WR who was showing zero interest in me, so I landed a pair of 4* WRs in the class.

Kodos · 02-02-2012, 12:14 PM

Was in 1st place for a 4-star QB heading into the final week of recruiting, but finished in 3rd place. :|

gstelmack · 02-02-2012, 12:24 PM

I am looking forward to recruiting with a better conference, and presumably improved coach loyalty and coach prestige and other bits, this coming season.

cartman · 02-02-2012, 03:23 PM

Yep, I did land the 5* WR. I'm gonna be stacked at WR this season. Just hope that I have a QB that can get them the ball.

TRO · 02-02-2012, 03:51 PM

Was pleasantly surprised to find a Junior DT that I was able to switch from a 68 rating and a backup role to an 83 rated Center that will be my new starter at the position.

This is like weight training in FOF: just give me a report that lists all players with their overall rating at every position, so I can quickly identify those I want to switch.

Kodos · 02-04-2012, 01:28 PM

Let's hurry up and get thru the rest of the offseason so we can get back to playing the games.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-05-2012, 06:57 AM

My XBox Live Gold expired today, so it might have kicked me from the dynasty. I will renew it either this afternoon or after the Super Bowl. I might need a re-invite after that.

You still show as an owner. Down to you and Kodos for cuts, I just got mine done (and down to a managable number of QBs and WRs).

Kodos · 02-05-2012, 09:40 PM

Mine doesn't show done, but I was the first one done.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-06-2012, 07:33 AM

My cuts are done. We are set to advance.

Kodos · 02-06-2012, 09:33 AM

Excellent. Will move us forward tonight.

Kodos · 02-06-2012, 09:33 PM

Our new alignment:

Kodos · 02-06-2012, 09:35 PM

Alright, we're almost back to the regular season. Now is the time to set up your recruiting board, redshirt players, and submit any schedule change requests.

Kodos · 02-06-2012, 09:40 PM

As always, human teams are not allowed to play FCS teams. The following teams must find a replacement, or have one assigned to them. You can look at your team's schedule by following the link in my sig to EA's website.

Buffalo - Week 2
Kansas - Week 2
Rice - Week 2
USF - Week 2
USC - Week 2

TRO · 02-06-2012, 10:58 PM

It looks like we already have Missouri so I would like K-State if possible.

If you can't work them into the schedule, give me a nice 80-90 rated team, preferably with Big XII or Big Ten ties.

Im willing to play BYU / Utah / Utah State on week 2 if any if them are available.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-07-2012, 07:12 AM

I would like a game at Hawaii if possible. Otherwise, I'd like to host SDSU.

gstelmack · 02-07-2012, 07:44 AM

Hah, Central Florida has a game against FCS West in week 2. This must not be allowed to continue, we would like to host UCF in week 2 (pretty sure we had a road game last season against them).

gstelmack · 02-07-2012, 07:56 AM

Also, I checked my coach's stuff, and was annoyed to see that a 12-1 season, conference championship, bowl win, and #24 ranking to start the new season had me firmly in the "D" prestige camp. The bowl win and conference championship show on the coach list page in-game, but it also shows me with a 2-0 record. None of us have more than 3 games recorded as coaches. Is that going to hold us back on improving our coach prestige?

chesapeake · 02-07-2012, 02:33 PM

I'd like to get North Carolina on my schedule as a replacement for Memphis or Towson. Thanks!

Kodos · 02-07-2012, 10:39 PM

Couldn't get Hawaii, so you host SDSU in Week 2.

Edit: Now it let me give you Hawaii, so you are at SDSU in Week 2, hosting Hawaii in Week 4.

Kodos · 02-07-2012, 10:43 PM

I think I have accommodated the other requests. Please double-check on the website.

MacroGuru · 02-07-2012, 11:04 PM

Still have me matched up against FCS team...are any of the 3 available Week 2?

If not...Memphis, Ole Miss, UNLV, Wyoming, CSU, Air Force, Army

Kodos · 02-08-2012, 07:23 AM

I think it just doesn't show up on the website. I definitely made the changes in game and saved.

chesapeake · 02-10-2012, 08:53 AM

I don't have a game until week 4 unless you made my game with UNC to occur during one of those weeks. Is it a big pain to rearrange the schedule so I don't have multiple bye weeks in a row? I'd greatly appreciate it.

cartman · 02-10-2012, 10:20 AM

Sorry for the late reply. Kodos, can you set me up with Houston in Week 2? If that won't work, then next in order are:

Texas Tech
TCU
LSU

Kodos · 02-10-2012, 11:17 AM

Sometimes certain teams aren't available in a given week, but that probably won't be a problem.

Okay, now you have

Week 2 North Carolina

Week 4 at NC State

Week 6 at Wake Forest

I was able to rejigger things like this:

Week 2 UTEP
Week 3 at NC
Week 5 Houston

Kodos · 02-11-2012, 09:21 AM

I have to step away for a bit to watch the kids, then I will advance things in an hour or two.
