Are you using your Gameplan to tell your backs to protect the ball?

No, but at the same time I don't have it on aggressive where fumbles should be more likely. I played the same way last year (balanced) and didn't have near this many.

I got my game today!

Just got my game too!

Sounds like the rosters should be ready to start tomorrow, so I just need to figure out the divisional set-ups now.

Is there any chance of starting up a second league once this one is completed? Really looking to get a dynasty going.

Do you mean when this dynasty is over? If it's like last year's dynasty, it'll last until the next game is out. You're free to start another since there seems to be enough interest for it.

On rosters:

"Putting the final touches on the Version 1.0 and we should have them uploaded around 3pm today. 4 at the latest."

I asked in the other thread but didn't get a response so I'll ask in here which is probably where I should have put it in the first place.

Why is the clock running off an additional 10 seconds after every play that doesn't stop the clock and is there a way to turn it off? If there is not it seems like a six minute game is too short. I'm sure I'd be in the minority but 7 min quarters might be better if this option isn't changeable.

Also boosters will be turned off for the dynasty right?

I'm guessing it's to simulate the time it takes to move down field, get into a huddle, get a play called in and then break the huddle and get to the line. In the game you can essentially throw a 20 yard pass and already have a play called in with your players walking towards the line in 2-3 seconds. That's just not possible in real life and instead of forcing you to watch the players actually go through the motions and slow down the game, they just take time off the clock to simulate it.

At least that's my theory.

Got my xbox back and got the game. Now I don't have internet until tomorrow (using phone now and switching off of comcast's shitty service)
On some of option plays, the AI doesn't run it right. The pitch man will run in front of the QB. I've also noticed a crazy amount of AI linebacker bat downs.

OS Rosters are done. The easiest username that has them is 'CK11'.

Yeah, I've ran the option a few times and something does seem off about it. I've seen a pitch get grabbed out of thin air by the defense and returned for a TD. I think they definitely made the option a lot harder to run this year, you sure as hell aren't pitching it to your player when your QB is down or completely wrapped up like you have been able to in years past.

Oh geez playing with a good set of rosters makes all the difference. Ck11 worked well for me.

Is that ok with you? Is it ok to use the same rules you have set forth to keep some sort of consistency between two leagues? Also, what can I name the thread to make it least offensive/not copycat to yours (not sure if youd view it that way).

Looking to start a second dynasty later tonight, just making sure its ok with you first.

The timing is different but you can still do it. The problem is the "route running" of the pitch, they run in the wrong route on some plays and pitches. Pitching accuracy has also been turned way down. I've had a random glitch a couple times where I guess the pitch man breaks off his route and then the QB will proceed to pitch the ball all the way across to the other side of the field.

Yeah, it's fine. As for the name, you can just call it something like "CAG NCAA Football 11 Online Dynasty" that is just simple and to the point without getting fancy about it.

I've got everything set up and the named rosters carried over perfectly, so we're pretty much ready to go. The only issue is that they changed the invite process, as I can only send you guys an invite without attaching a team to that. So be sure to pick your chosen team when you join and I will send a PM with the password in a minute, though I may just send that to your XBL account so you can doublecheck when you go to join the dynasty.

I've sent invites to everyone but SeanAmI, as it was saying that you didn't have an EA account. I'm not sure if that's due to not using your online pass code yet, not going online yet, or if you really don't have an account, so you might want to see what could be up on your end.

I still don't have internet and don't know when it will be up, I have to call tomorrow morning, but who knows what the is going on with it (AT&T ed me over with the activation)
