    Almost time

    Looking over the board, it's too quiet on here. Of course, that's partly me too. Went over the last couple years on here and there's a lot of dynasties we started and lost interest in, or lost the file to, or came up with a new idea for, etc. Sometimes it takes a while to get the updates on here, it can be time consuming! Life gets in the way (and new games, etc) - but I want to make sure this thing keeps rolling so I'm getting a new one together. I've got to find one we haven't had on here ever, or for a super long time. At the very least it'll give everyone something else to read and keep some more activity on the board to go with the couple actives on here now. So... thinking Chargers, Giants, Steelers, Browns, Cowboys (sans Romo)...Colts/Pats too easy with the QBs in place; prob too hard (to justify) taking one of them off their respective teams... though, I dunno, losing the perfect season might make Brady go legitimately looney and demands a release/trade... Some are ready made for stories (browns, giants), others need a little more digging/research... Too much football on today, but I'll plan later on today and I'm off tomorrow so I'll give it a go... Crazy there's football on 9:30 a.m. - loving it! wish it was a competitive game though...

    Glad to see this. I'm getting back into mine shortly, I've just needed a break after I no-lifed it and played halfway into the season in like a week.

      Re: Almost time

      I keep meaning to get a new one started myself. I'm stuck between the Rams and the Panthers, and can't decide between the two teams. But the main thing holding me back has been a desire for updated rosters, and replaying Madden 25 (since Madden 15's owner mode sucks when it comes to making a profit for small clubs). Oh well, been having a blast with that still.

      Anyway, just like you, I expect to get one up and running sometime soon, if not returning to one of my old ones. I've been getting the itch again to play myself

        Re: Almost time

        Yeah, I'm still working through a few on Madden 25 myself. HC always pulls me back though, I end up with so many ideas of what I want to do. Updated rosters might be cool if they were realistic, and I admit I'm so clueless on how to do it for my 360 I'll prob never have them... But, I'll see how it goes this weekend and hope work doesn't get in the way to get something going. Hopefully you'll come up with one too. Good luck!

          Yeah, thankfully updated rosters are a hello of a lot easier to get on the playstation. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work properly. I can load it up and everything, but once in career mode, the game always freezes as it loads so I can't actually do a career. It sucks. >.<

          I've now thrown a third team into the mix...one that has been done, but that I have never done: the Oakland Raiders. So it's between the Rams, Panthers and Raiders for me. Decisions, decisions.

          I'm also thinking of starting one for Madden 25 as the Jaguars, or as my Titans. I'm just working on a slider set for the game that I truly enjoy, and playing through NCAA 14 to get more draft classes saved.

            Yeah, been busy with Madden 25/NCAA 14 myself. Haven't ever posted one of their dynasties though. Still thinking about my next HC one though - too many ideas, not enough time! LOL! Good luck with whichever you choose!

              Still mulling ideas, and life keeps getting in the way. I'm down to Lions/Browns (which means i'll prob end up with neither!) - I wish I could do both at once; but not possible in HC. I could set both up, but with my limited playing time, it'd be slow going... I'm sure I'll end up doing both, but prob not at the same time... in the meantime, my poor Raiders still haven't won a game. I still want to start one with a "the way we SHOULD have done it" franchise... oh well, that'll be third.

              edit: of course the thing holding me back from the Lions is the Roy/Megatron combo - they're so good! Although the Lions did trade Roy Williams in 2008... so there's always an option there...It would seem impossible to trade Calvin though!

                I'd have already started one if I still had a working PS3-good chance to get it fixed in December or January.My next dynasty,I'm going to work on limiting the abilities of my coaching staff once I build up my HC a little. Once you build up your HC, it really limits the need for you to have a good coaching staff around you.

                  Right on... I always hope my coaching staff will get job offers once they get up there - it's either that or not spend all their points... or fire them if they get too good...

                  Good luck on the repairs to your PS3.

                  I'm just about ready to start - been wrapped up in too many other games; but I've been going over lots of ideas and seeing if anyone catches my eye. I had a few teams in mind, but now I'm starting to lean towards the Lions/Bengals. (of course as I type that I think of ideas I had with 4 other teams...) I think that's another thing slowing me down, I'll get it sorted out soon... Did you have any franchises you were thinking about?

                    Ps3 is working again now-just have to decide now on team and roster.

                    Likely a team in the AFC South-maybe use the roster update? Contracts are messed up in the update, but that's a temporary problem.

                      If you're able to get the updated rosters working, let me know. I've yet to get it to work properly; it always freezes for me. I would love to be able to use updated rostes myself

                        If you're talking about the custom rosters-never used those. The one Josh came up with-yeah I never had any issues with it. In time I might be able to put it on a flash drive and see if I can get it to you and see how that roster works for you.This dynasty I decided against the roster update-simply because the Texans drafted a bust with their first round pick.

                          Yeah, I was talking about either one actually. I unfortunately don't have the updated rosters from before the servers went down, and I would really like to use those for at least one career. If you're able to do that, that would be great. If not, it's no big deal. The game is still great even without it
