I suggest checking out some more of the dynasties if your into it. This one is a great spot to start lol

I will certainly do that. I checked out the "Storm Rising in the North"/Eastern Michigan Dynasty and was thoroughly impressed. What do you guys use for the presentation, if you don't mind me asking?

I am loving the "story" aspect of this, and the depth you guys provide. This type of thing resonates with some of my desires for this game, when it does return, like coaches having more control in Dynasty mode (hiring/firing staff), negotiating contracts (having to choose between a smaller school offering a lot of cash but poor facilities or an established program not doling out too many contractual years, as they desire to see success on the field before committing to a bigger deal), and even engaging in some media Q&A sessions. Things of that nature. You guys are kinda doing that on your own, and doing a great job of it. Stumbling upon this forum has certainly re-energized my love for this game.

Yes, Cheese's Rising Storm in the north is another good one. So is Geezy's Golden Age of Tulane. This forum entirely renewed my love for the game too.

Shoot me a private message with any questions, if you like. That way were not clogging up a thread. I tried to send you one but it say's you've chosen not to receive them, or may not be able to (never seen that before lol).

Thanks, glad to have you along for the ride

I have been obsessed with this franchise since its inception, but I have never once gotten close to drawing up "stories" based upon the games I played. Sure, I have kinda added commentary in my own head about the action on the field, trying to spice it up a bit, but never thought of doing anything like this. On a side note, we really need EA or 2K to get back into the college football gaming world. I know there are hurdles to doing so, but do you realize how incredible the game could be with the newer platforms? The stories could write themselves, though I guess that defeats the purpose of what you're doing. Great work, by the way!

TrophyKing80 you pretty much hit the nail on the head with what the guys do over here at OS and Silverbullet19 cleared up the rest for me .. It adds so much more to the game by doing, some might call it nerdy and I am sure somewhere along the line it is but I have great fun creating these story lines and graphics (In terms of your question. I use a mix of Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop to create my graphics). Hopefully you continue to read along as I am always happy for new faces.

Editors Note: So after three times of trying tonight (Two crashes in the fourth quarter) I have managed to get the Maryland game played and statistics taken down, however its is 11:34pm over here in sunny England and I have work early, so the game report will be up tomorrow now.

My wife says its "super nerd," but seriously nerding out is a much more fun way to live! Everyone has a nerdy side, you gotta embrace it to enjoy life, and OS is a perfect spot for us nerds to unite lol

Sorry to hear the game crashed on you a few times, hopefully there's no issues with the disc/console. I'm glad to see you were able to finish, I look forward to the game!

I realized I was a fully fledged sports gaming nerd when I spent 3 hours simulating a training camp in Madden 17 free practice. I remember I had the notepad out, going over replays of every play and writing things down and I just started laughing and thought "I'm actually a f--kin nerd" Found these boards a short while later.

Love me some Texas football. Really hope you can pull them out of the cellar they’re in, because there’s no reason for Texas football to be in the cellar.

Here we go! Great preseason round up man. I’m excited for this to get underway. The WR depth is absolutely stacked!
