Autumn Thunder: Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Golden Gophers

[Innocent]

I'll look into using photobucket, that may work for images. I'd rather just be able to put all the files up some place that's accessible like I did with geocities (its nice that they're still available too!) but it'd be nice to get something that'd work.

I have an idea for a Superstar mode career I may post about, as well.

I originally hosted all of my images on a geocities account - that may be an indicator as to how old this Dynasty is. Geocities is now long defunct and I'm afraid that I am no longer willing to pay the monthly fee that Yahoo is charging to host the files.

That means that all of the image links for this dynasty are going to vanish shortly. I have saved all of the files, and actually still have all of the source material and save games for the Dynasty because I can't really bring myself to get rid of them even though they're not being used any more.

There's a little more time for folks to enjoy looking over this ancient thing if they like, but soon only the text will remain.

I just want to say that this was amazing and a joy to read.

Looking to do another one anytime soon?

Thank you! I really do appreciate it, I'm glad you enjoyed it

None of the games since Madden 2005 have really struck me as all that interesting for a Dynasty unfortunately. Flaws in the simulation are especially apparent, and for someone that strove for realism are really quite fatal.

Its a shame really because this dynasty still tugs at me to some extent. I really am curious as to how the team would have developed, and how the career of Craig Nall may have shaped up. The lack of a running game was always a serious problem, and really no closer to a solution at the end of the game than at the start (except that the offensive line was vastly improved).

If another game struck me as much, I might consider jumping in with something similar, although it's unlikely to be as detailed or voluminous simply because I really lack the time to put this kind of effort into it again.

I did try briefly to do a career that I thought was interesting, that of a marginal NFL QB, one who would basically be praying for the chance to ever take a snap (and would hopefully do okay when he finally did!) but I didn't get very far with that idea.

Wouldn't it be possible to continue or start a new dynasty with madden 2005 then?

The in depth gamedays and around the league features were quite enthralling to read. Also the fact that you took control of all 32 teams and managed to keep things balanced was also quite impressive.

I could actually continue this Dynasty, I believe I still have the files.

I played about another season on my own time (following the same rules I did here, but without doing the write ups). I am certain I have that save, and I am pretty sure that I saved the game files from where I stopped in this Dynasty as well.

Its just a matter of time and interest really, and I think it'd be easier to get interested in a new idea with up to date players and all if the games were as high quality as 2005.

Well hey, good news. My hosting account expired but it looks like they're still allowing access to the files that I already have on the site. Hopefully that doesn't change

You should definitely continue this!
