same. i'm gonna be gone for a the first week of september...from aug 30th to sept 7th. wont be able to take my xbox with me...this little break is nothin compared to that.

i'm just glad to see some recruits finally hoppin on board.

8/18/2008 11:50:30 PM

ha, i dunno bout a break for just recruiting. I can see it taking a week to get everyone to play an ACC game week, but for just recruiting??? All you gotta do is turn the xbox on for 15 minutes and you're done.

or just have everyone to turn on the cpu-assisted recruiting for cases like this.

8/19/2008 12:27:54 AM

^thats fine with me. cuz i know i'll be able to turn my xbox on for a bit everyday. I dunno.......i mean, if you wanna be in this dynasty hardcore, i don't see how you can't get in recruiting in a day. I mean seriously.....unless you go out of town.

8/19/2008 12:55:44 AM

anyone want to play, here's your chance to kick my ass i'm hammered

8/19/2008 3:07:40 AM

gone for a week tracer? just put your shit on auto recruit and change the settings on what players to target... the computer actually does a decent job

8/19/2008 12:59:27 PM

what is the status on the acc championship game?

8/19/2008 10:48:46 PM

i believe nym said he'd be back tomorrow

8/20/2008 12:01:09 AM

oh my b... i cant read haha

8/20/2008 12:17:23 AM

ha. brought my 360 but left my ncaa 09 at home in wilmington. gotta get it mailed to me. lol. I have auto-recruiting set up so no biggy if you guys need to advance to bowl week.

8/20/2008 10:13:10 AM

you would be ok this week anyways. There isn't any recruiting during Champ week...

8/20/2008 11:35:55 AM

I'll be able to play tonight or tomorrow.

As I've said, I work close to fulltime and am also a fulltime Grad School student so I have class until 10:00 or 10:30 M-T (soon to be M-W in the fall) and the last thing I feel like doing when I get home is throwing on the 360 and playing...

8/20/2008 11:40:52 AM

not trying to step on any toes... but.... if you work a full time job and full time grad student are you going to be able to do 2 game weeks a week?

8/20/2008 10:43:20 PM

Is this game getting played tonight?

8/20/2008 11:50:22 PM

I'm game... who am I playing?

^^ i did the same this summer... i'll get it done. just gotta bear with me monday-wednesday. i'll be able to play wednesday afternoons (which is night for you guys) and any time after that...

[Edited on August 20, 2008 at 11:52 PM. Reason : <-- went to the bar for 2 hours just now... not sober... uh oh.]

8/20/2008 11:50:52 PM

he was on XBL for about 3 hours this evening....

8/20/2008 11:51:58 PM

If we don't get it in today, I'm good tomorrow... no gym/no bar so anytime after 7:00pm east coast and I'll be available...

I'm playing Maryland, right? That is tracer, right?

8/20/2008 11:55:57 PM

you are playing tracer aka saturn1118

8/20/2008 11:56:26 PM

i really hope this game gets played tomorrow so we can get to moving towards the offseason

8/21/2008 12:17:08 AM

Patch 2 is out. Haven't had a chance to download it since my game is playing pinball in the mail.

8/21/2008 11:17:01 AM

should probably play a game to see how the patch changes affect things before playing the ACC CG

8/21/2008 7:05:14 PM

i really didnt notice much of a difference... other than better kick coverage

8/21/2008 7:34:15 PM

yeah, on operationsports they said that the gunners don't just go straight down the field and run by the returner like they did, but some are still getting 35-40yd returns. CPU sliders supposedly work now the the zone coverage is a little better and resulting in more ints.

8/21/2008 8:23:55 PM

soooo...is this finally happening tonight?

8/21/2008 8:43:57 PM

did we ever advance to conference championship week?

8/21/2008 8:45:51 PM

yeah, we're there.....been there for a few days. NyM and tracer haven't played yet though

8/21/2008 8:54:28 PM

and again like the past few nights tracer is sitting online waiting to play....

8/21/2008 9:01:27 PM

NyM said he would be on anytime after 7:00 PM EST......sooooooooo who knows

8/21/2008 9:05:34 PM

I'm gonna finish watching the Mets game on my computer and then I'll be ready to play...

8/21/2008 9:09:24 PM

sorry for being a jackass

[Edited on August 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM. Reason : .]

8/21/2008 9:15:12 PM

lol. the original plan was 2 games/wk anyways.

8/21/2008 9:19:49 PM

You guys do what you gotta do... doesn't matter to me.

We had to wait 4 days for the commish to advance and for people to do simple recruiting only earlier and I could have played my game at any time during that.

This is the first time you've had to wait at all for me... and I am going to watch the end of the Mets game... if you guys want to just have him play against the CPU if you can't wait an extra hour or so feel free.

8/21/2008 9:22:48 PM

sorry for being a jackass

[Edited on August 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM. Reason : .]

8/21/2008 9:23:04 PM

alright... and I will get 2 games in every week during the reg season.

I get off work at 3pm on Weds and don't have class until 6:30p... so really its only M-T that I won't be available at all...

tracer, post here or IM me (nym410) whenever you are ready to play tonight... i'll turn off the game and connect right in to my modem if you can play soon...

8/21/2008 9:26:52 PM

No one's getting kicked out

The main reason that we booted guitarguy was that he was a douchebag, on top of his neglect of this thread

NyM seems like a pretty OK guy, at least in small doses

I'm skeptical that the league will even complete a second season as interest wanes and other games come out

I'll be here as long as the rest of you are, however long that is

8/21/2008 9:42:56 PM

I didn't mean to start a disagreement...

I actually just wanted to know if I could play my bowl game soon, not worried about getting the game in, and NyM has been straightforward with the league about his schedule so that is not a big deal, at least to me.

and I am cool with 2 gms/wk, especially now that school has started.

I just think the big issue right now is that there was only one game this week, so there has been NOTHING for the rest of us to do while we wait.

I am mostly just itching for the offseason and the start to a new season with the Pack!

I am here until others decide they don't want to play as well. This has been a pretty enjoyable season to be honest.

[Edited on August 21, 2008 at 9:46 PM. Reason : ..]

8/21/2008 9:44:54 PM

Also I was considering bumping up to Heisman for the bowl slate

So everyone doesn't win by 30 vs the CPU

Cast your votes...majority wins

8/21/2008 9:46:42 PM

yeah, after walking my dog, I realized I came off as being a huge jackass. sorry about that NyM. I had forgotten the great game we played earlier, and you're right about not being the hold up. I too think the past 2 game weeks have gone by slowly primarily because not a lot of big games were played.

^i'd kinda like to see how the patch improves play before bumping up to Heisman for the bowl game. Especially since bowl games will be big for recruiting.

[Edited on August 21, 2008 at 9:49 PM. Reason : .]

8/21/2008 9:48:11 PM

nym, i'm online. i havent checked tww in a couple hours, just been sittin on xbox live. i'm ready whenever you are i guess.

I agree with HaLo. I don't feel it necessary to bump the level up especially when you look at the number of losses in the last couple of weeks to computer teams by human players. I believe everyone will play a reasonable game and not go out and win 147-0 or anything.

8/21/2008 10:37:32 PM

and the acc-cg is underway. fairlyand to an early 3-0 lead

8/21/2008 10:52:38 PM

what's it at now?

8/21/2008 11:10:55 PM

was like 13-10 twerps in the 2nd but I think tracer got kicked off.

8/21/2008 11:16:05 PM

I can't connect to the servers now...

It tries to d/l the dynasty file and I am getting a message saying an important file can't be downloaded followed by dynasty servers unavailable..

8/21/2008 11:16:17 PM

nym's havin some issues and dropped the game. i'm still playin it for fun

8/21/2008 11:16:49 PM

did you delete your dynasty file and restart?

8/21/2008 11:17:21 PM

if you want you can save the result... i don't want to delay anymore.

I can't even connect to the dynasty server

^ yup.. and xbox live is working perfectly for other games (non-ncaa)

[Edited on August 21, 2008 at 11:17 PM. Reason : x]

8/21/2008 11:17:25 PM

well the game is over...should i save it or try it again another day?
