Head Coach '09 - still amazing

[Aurabolt127]

Just had to say I love how this game always lures me back. I took my last dynasty off-line because I was spending so much time uploading stats, pics, updating the career stats etc. (I get a little obsessed) that it was taking a long time and ended up burning me out. I'm unpacking my 360 tomorrow (moved a short time ago and been so busy with current games I haven't done it yet.) and thinking about firing it up/ Haven't even been on the OS site in a while, and was exciting seeing people still talking about it. Kills me they won't make this backwards-compatible, but it is what it is.

About to get back into playing myself , just got the 360 up and running. Hoping to get a good roster, sliders, and house rules to make the game more challenging!

Please let me know if there are any roster files out there

Wish I knew how to use rosters for the 360. Sliders are so tricky - there are some good ones and they all claim to give you real-life like stats, but they are all so different that how can anyone be sure? I would hate to get 10 games in and then realize that slider group A really sucks and I should be using slider group B. Just not sure what to do about that one. I know some I used in the past...of course I think I played the first 5 years since it came out without them. LOL!

OHHHHHHHHH yeah... when my older son moved, he took the 360. Guess who's going to Gamestop to look for another one? LOL!! Works out anyway, as I need to decide what team I'm using, I had a lot of good ideas I never got to use yet. Going to read over the slider thing again too and look at some of my older franchises to see what sliders I used then too. Hooray football!

So, time to start narrowing down my list of teams. Going Xbox360 shopping tomorrow. Some teams I've done a bunch, a few like the Pats, Colts, Cowboys, Chargers, etc. are too stacked and not a great fit for what I like to do. I could do my zero-roster expansion again and really see how far I can go with it...Dunno... decisions, decisions.

Initial cuts.

[Aurabolt127]

Going over some notes, doing some research... able to cut a few more for reasons that make sense in my head. LOL

Cut:

Eagles. Were in last place, but Reid and group are solid. Won last 3 games.
Vikings. Have 2007 ROY A.P. and improved 2 games from '07.
Pittsburgh. Successful, went 10-6. solid.
Titans. improved to 10-6 and made playoffs.
Green Bay. Went 13-3. Already in good shape.
Jacksonville. great increase in record, playoffs, etc.
New Orleans. Down year, but year before Payton was COY and Brees was CBPOY.
