Is it something with the controller? Anyway, good job showing resilience against OU. Excited to see the bowl game rollout.

I am still stunned about what has transpired around the nation...In all my years and seasons of doing this dynasty, I have never seen an upset of the magnitude of Nevada over Bama. I mean, they didn't just upset them; they walked into Tuscaloosa and absoluted hammered those guys. Incredible.

I have no excuses for the poor punt return average. I think my gunner protection this year has been a bit subpar, but I have also made some bad decisions on occasion, sometimes running backwards trying to make something happen. The funny part about this past game, and I could not find a way to fit this into the game story, but I was literally about to replace Carter Jr. with another player back there right before that touchdown return but decided to give him one last shot. Glad I did not make the move.

As for my field goal kicking struggles, I made this post literally over three years ago back in April of 2016 during the Part II installment of this dynasty (crazy to think it was that long ago!), so now is probably a good time to refresh everyone's memory:

The RIGHT STICK toggle button seems to be slightly bent, which is creating difficulty in consistenly flicking the stick in the direction I want it to go. It has little no effect on other game play; it's just the sudden flick from one direction to another that is handicapped. Typically, this would be cause to run out and buy a brand new joystick, however I actually LOVE this. I have been searching for YEARS for ways to make field goal kicking more difficult and not automatic and by accident, I have found that solution. My kicker went 22 of 28 last season and also missed 1 extra point, easily making it the worst kicking year of this dynasty through 11+ seasons. And, to start this season, I have missed one field goal and one extra point, and this is with an 84 overall kicker and with the KAC slider turned down to 25. Field goals are still easily makeable, I just have to have 100% concentration and a strong, precise thumb on each and every one of them. I am very happy with this development and hopefully this continues to add some variety to the dynasty.

A couple heartbreakers for you there with Bama and Arkansas sandwiched around a couple nice wins. It seems like winning the turnover battle and being consistent seem to be the name of the game for you when you look at the big difference between those wins and those losses. Mason is always explosive, but the games when he either tries to do too much or doesn't take care of the football seem to be the games that end up in the L column. Not blaming the QB, but with another year of maturity and Geezy tutelage, his senior season could be the year that he puts it all together. Who knows, he could be making a Heisman push while you're looking for a BCS berth if all goes according to plan (not that it ever does)! Good luck in the bowl game, it'll be nice to finish out with a win and get some objectives out of the way in year one.

Moose, never a need to apologize to me my friend. This is just a video game message board afterall.

Great observations and feedback from you. The one big disappointment this year for me indeed has been the turnovers from the quarterback position. Coming off a year at Tulane in which my QB threw 42 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions, I am shocked that my guy Rob Mason is sitting at 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions heading into the postseason. For our team to get to the next level, we need to get that touchdown number up and that interception # down a tad. A 2 to 1 ratio would be much more tolerable, and getting to that point or better will be one of our top priorities heading into next season.

I agree with everything else you said - we aren't losing a ton of key pieces after this year, especially on offense, and we have some very good defensive recruits coming in next year. The nucleus is certainly there for us to make a run.

As you said, things haven't always gone according to plan, but my gut tells me that we'll see the Tigers make a BIG leap in 2028!

This could be their year! They've been a strong team throughout this dynasty and have just not been able to take that final step or two. They came close a year ago, but really look primed to take it all this season.

I love the roster parity that has occurred over time. Also, Joe Jones should be the Heisman winner. 43-1 TD-Int ratio? Gotta be kidding me!

[djp73]

gotta get that 9th win!

looks like aside from DL you're not relying on too many SRs so you should be better next season, I'm making an early prediction of an SEC Championship.
