FCS Upset

[trevdawg0909]

In my dynasty, Western Kentucky upset Alabama 20-17. It was so unbelievably unrealistic that I quit my game I was playing, exited out of dynasty and re-loaded from my previous save (autosave was off). Every time I simulated the WKU-Alabama game though, the result was the same. It seems that perhaps scores are already pre-determined once you start a dynasty. The only way I could fix this was to play the game myself as Alabama and make sure I beat WKU.

Now, I'm not a 'Bama fan at all. I'm playing as SJSU in my dynasty. But the result of WKU beating The Tide in Alabama was so ridiculous and improbable that I had to do something about it.

scores are determined when you advance the week, even if you select "SIM Game" it won't change, except for the few games that can change which appears to be random

the only thing you can do for this sort of thing is play the game on Heisman, pick the team you want to lose and supersim it

and hope it doesnt' crash

Something I know everyone will appreciate and not related to this post but entirely related to Mike Leach and his bouncing around - Tuberville left Tech for K-State after year one of my dynasty and one of the six candidates was Mike Leach - LOLZ.

Was the LSU/NTU game one that they kept doing Studio Updates for?

nope it kept showing the stanford game or the michigan st vs boise state game every stinking time.

also we have 2 upset threads and instead of having them deleted maybe mods would combine them??? this could be a very good thread to talk about

A lot of people are talking of some games being pre-determined so the reason I asked is because if you watch the stuff the game does during it's "Advancing Week" period - it is setting up the Studio Updates. So there should be a good sized batch of games who's scores and stats are already determined.
