    Random Online Dynasty Thoughts #3 - Sportsmanship

    Bryan Clark has penned yet another article talking about online dynasty in NCAA Football 09. This time, Clark takes a look at sportsmanship, check out his article here.

    "Good sportsmanship is supposed to be taught in Little League, but the parents sometimes ruin it. The end result: Roger Clemens throwing a splintered bat toward Mike Piazza or Woody Hayes punching an opposing player. Pakistani cricket fans sure haven’t figured it out either. But you should, if you want to have fun in your online dynasty."

    Screw that. When I lose I'm going to scream like a coyote and swear the server f'ed up.

    Seriously though I do get upset when I lose but never to the point that I don't give the opponent credit. My nephew has beaten my I believe 2 or 3 times in a row as we practice for 09. I get upset some but payback is a biatch.
    If that streak runs to 4 or 5 games then I'll just curse him a while..



    Good article man.

        I'll be cool....unless there are f'n warp int's. That's the only thing that gets me upset. Damn DB's magically picking off balls.

        AA & Candyman5 can attest that I got a little upset...in my quiet mannered way.

          Oh man, tell me about the magic pick-offs. I'm really not one to get too ticked at game, but when I view a replay of a INT during a pass I could've sworn I was a good decision after reading the coverage and seeing a garbage, superman-esque animation artificially "slide" the DB into the trajectory of the ball....

                Me I just play Grand Theft Auto afterwards and go crazy.
                Never pay for NCAA 09 Rosters.

                Go to Fairdale-Kings.com and Free NCAA09 Rosters for reliable, FREE rosters.

                And most of all, DON'T BUY FROM "Gamerosters.com" or "FKRosters.com." The douchebag that owns the site steals them and harasses the makers. Don't be another victim to his scam.

                      good article. I agree, the downfall of online dynasties will be the bad apple or apples of the league. That and cheesers makes me heisitant to join a league where I don't know the other 11 guys.

                        i think that setting up some ground rules before even one game is played will help with people getting upset and arguing over a video game, i mean there are more important things in life...lol

                        set up rules pertaining to disconnects, "cheesing", and any recruiting rules your league may have. then make everyone clear of the discipline procedures, ex. 1. warning and 2. you're gone!

                        after all this is about FUN!!
                        BTFU!

                          Creating a league from scratch presents it's challenges.

                          I would start by making sure your limit the demographic of your user base. If your a married guy with 2 kids... don't expect to enjoy playing in a dynasty with mainly guys in their late teens or early 20's. Your not of the same mindset and probably won't have the same ideas of what a fun league would be like.

                          Second, you must be able to take a loss.. hell, actually i prefer a guy who wants to lose, because then he knows he has something to work on/work for. There is no shame to losing in online leagues... there are alot of good players out there and you should take the time to get to know the guys in your league so it's easier to swallow a loss. Losing to a buddy is easier to take than losing to an unknown talking head.

                          Third.. the best leagues have good players that give back. If your more of a dominate player, take time out to help the stragglers in your league. It develops league character and benefits everyone from a quality of play standpoint.

                          just a few thoughts i have after running Madden League for 4 years.
