Also, is everyone cool if I just quicksim to the regular season?

Sun Tzu · 09-16-2014, 11:27 AM

Someone said 5 days max, and I think that's fair. I'm also all for advancing early if everyone gets their games in early. I mean, 3/4 of the weeks there will only be 1 (or less) game that's 2 people actually playing against each other.

Also, I'm on-board with advancing to the 1st week of the Regular Season, too.

I claimed the 49ers. I tried and tried to pick another team, but I just couldn't bring myself to pick anybody but my Niners.

BillJasper · 09-16-2014, 12:22 PM

I just joined as the Eagles. McCoy and Sproles were just too tasty a tandem to pass up!

Should be good to move straight to the regular season.

korme · 09-16-2014, 02:35 PM

5 days max might be weird, because the schedule would be all over the place. What if we did two advances per week?

I could be in for Wednesday and Sunday are force advance days. Say, noonish EST

And if everyone is cool with that, I'll advance the league tomorrow to the regular season and we can get some play in.

BillJasper · 09-16-2014, 03:24 PM

Works for me.

korme · 09-16-2014, 04:45 PM

I just 'started' the franchise now, give you guys some time to mingle with any changes you want to make before fast forwarding to the regular season tomorrow.

Sun Tzu · 09-16-2014, 05:42 PM

Sounds great! Wednesday and Sunday advances at noon EST.

Diggin it!

Butter · 09-16-2014, 06:39 PM

I'm in as the Bengals. I'm on board for 2 advances a week.

Groundhog · 09-16-2014, 07:00 PM

Works for me - again, could be scheduling issues given where I am as far as human-human games go, although currently I have none on my schedule.

IlliniCub · 09-16-2014, 07:09 PM

I took the Bears!

Chalk yourself up some W's on weeks 11 and 17.

So, are the sliders already set, or do I need to set them to the Armor & Swords sliders?

They are universaaly set for the league. I believe I'm the only one who can change them.

Sun Tzu · 09-17-2014, 11:28 AM

IlliniCub, I'll see you in Week 2 for some digital revenge!

korme · 09-17-2014, 01:03 PM

I just walloped the Jets, 48-6. It was probably the best game I've ever played. I've never experienced such a soft defense. It was great fun.

korme · 09-17-2014, 02:16 PM

My old roommate just signed up as the Patriots. I'm going to get him to signup on the forums.

markprior22 · 09-17-2014, 03:51 PM

In as Cowboys.

Jon · 09-17-2014, 06:19 PM

Took the Seahawks, as I lost a bet with a coworker

korme · 09-17-2014, 11:44 PM

Looks like Sun Tzu and markprior need to link up for a good time between now and Sunday.

Jon · 09-18-2014, 02:48 AM

Was I supposed to create a new owner?

Dangit.

Groundhog · 09-18-2014, 10:09 AM

We took down the Rams 28-10 thanks to a solid first half and a strong running game by rookie Banyard in Peterson's absence... A lot of injuries to deal with right now, my defense and offensive line are woeful.

korme · 09-18-2014, 10:57 AM

Not the end of the world. I wonder if I can kick you out, then invite you back in.

But then I'd be afraid you'd be blocked or something.

Zinto · 09-18-2014, 03:03 PM

I am looking to join the the next couple of days when I get home. My PSN name is Patarang

Sun Tzu · 09-18-2014, 03:09 PM

markprior and I are working on scheduling our first game via PM.

Sent an invite to ya.

korme · 09-18-2014, 03:20 PM

I would be stoked if markprior and Illinicub could edit their owner info under the team tab to fix those all CAPS names. Ugh.

Thank you! Jon can retire and rejoin as an owner without ever truly leaving the league

BillJasper · 09-18-2014, 05:38 PM

I'm the loser that actually lost (20-17).

Got to say that I really disliked the settings, felt like I was running in molasses the entire game. Foles got hurt and was lost for the game in the third quarter. One penalty in the entire game, a face mask that put the Jaguars in FG range with about 1:20 left in the game. Bortles was throwing darts at my guys all game and no one could catch them. I threw 3 INT's. One from Barkley to seal the game.

The other thing was that there was a 19 MPH wind. I lined up for a FG try lined everything up and had a full power bar and the kick still sailed way left.

IlliniCub · 09-18-2014, 05:56 PM

Yeah I'll see if I can fix that! Didn't notice the caps still new to my ps4!

Groundhog · 09-18-2014, 07:31 PM

One of my picks was me trying to jam in the RS to throw the ball away, and my thumb slipped and hit 'X', throwing it straight at 3 defenders.

Sun Tzu · 09-18-2014, 08:43 PM

Yeah, I did notice that we have game mode on slow. I haven't tried that before, but I'm wondering if there's any particular reason we did that?

It's what those sliders call for

I'll adjust but the slow speed feels really weird. Threw my game off. Yeah, that's why I lost!

IlliniCub · 09-18-2014, 09:33 PM

Yeah I lost a sloppy one to the bills

How does one go about doing that?

korme · 09-19-2014, 01:18 AM

Go to manage roster, I believe retire is the last option

korme · 09-19-2014, 01:52 AM

FYI guys I just realized under the options tab under all the people with the trade block stuff, I have a media question so I'm sure you all do, too.

Will do

Sun Tzu · 09-19-2014, 10:46 AM

Mark and I have our Week 1 game scheduled for 2ish PST tomorrow.

Jon · 09-19-2014, 10:52 AM

So I retired--- I need a new league invite though.

done

Jon · 09-19-2014, 09:18 PM

So I was blacklisted by the Seahawks and can't pick them again.

I took the Giants--- a far worse team

And then I proceed to lose the first game.

Damn, sorry man

Butter · 09-20-2014, 09:59 AM

I got crushed 41-7 by the Ravens. I gave up a TD to them on their opening drive. Then on my drive, AJ Green fumbles at their 25, which was returned for a TD. It was all downhill from there. If you look at the game stats, aside from my awful QB percentage, you can't tell that I got crushed... But I did.

korme · 09-20-2014, 11:36 AM

So I believe after mark and Sun play their game, the league will automatically advance if anyone wants to get their second game in today. I'm working for most of the day, so I'll probably try to squeeze mine in before or after the Bengals game tomorrow.

korme · 09-20-2014, 06:45 PM

We have 11 guys in as of right now. I'd say that's pretty damn good.

markprior22 · 09-20-2014, 06:46 PM

Cowboys took their whipping as expected. Good game Sun.

Terps · 09-20-2014, 06:49 PM

I hopped in and took the Colts, sorry for being last minute.

I lost 20-17 to Denver. I knocked Peyton out of the game in the 1st quarter, it was only 6-3 Denver at the half. Broncos only scored 2 TD's, one on a pick six, and on their final drive where they drove down the field at will and left me with a minute to play.

I had 120ish yards with Richardson, both of my TD's came on passes to TY Hilton. I also missed a field goal wide right earlier in the game that could have sent this to OT.

Sun Tzu · 09-20-2014, 06:54 PM

Mark and I played our game, and despite the final score of 39-17, it was pretty close through the 3rd quarter. I really pulled away when Romo's offensive line collapsed in the second half.

POTG has to go to Carlos Hyde, who busted off a long run on the second play of the game. Frank Gore is out for the first few weeks, so it's nice to see the rookie step up when we needed him.

Good game, Mark. Best of luck the rest of the way.
