I've been in two leagues so far that have been moving slowly and/or dying off and I am on the lookout for any good leagues where the admins strictly enforce a no-cheese rule (if I want cheese, I'll just play the usual opponents online!).
And I define "cheese" as:
1.) Playing hurry-up Offense on every down, throughout the game
2.) QB-scrambling on every play
3.) And, worst of all, the DE Cheat.
I consider these to be bullsh!t cheese tactics, along with all the usual stuff.. you know, going for it on 4th down every time, etc.
As for my teams, I'm a long-time Dolphin player and have stuck with them even through this terrible incarnation (worst o-line in 2K5, bar none). But I'm also willing to take other teams. Some that I have practiced with: Packers, Seahawks and Panthers.
So if anyone has a good league up and running or in the early stages of preparation and are looking for an all-sim player to join, please email or PM me. My email is
[email protected]. Just send me any league info, including passwords, and I'll check it out online and on XBL (I'm an Xbox baller).
I'm also willing to contribute articles, postgame wrap-ups and such in any good league I join. I also do some graphic design and PDF publishing IRL, so I can offer handy game downloads from my server and help administrate any league site on espnvideogames.com, too.
