lol...yep...but it's pretty much your only option unless you want to burn all your timeouts. I thought of the message thing too. It's moronic, but I don't know that we'll have a better way of handling it. Ultimately, you should be able to tell if your opponent is lining up for an onside kick. It shouldn't be that damn hard. It's a good thing EA was working on this for 2 years huh? I always love it when they unnecessarily take out features that were actually helpful. I knew I wasn't crazy yesterday when I played that ranked game and the first kickoff of the game, the dipshit goes for an onside kick, and I could have sworn it only said "kickoff". I seriously believe EA brings in these tards for a focus group and asks them what they want.

I mentioned the first one if its suppose to be automatic, its crap. I play Detroit, they have a ton of formations that move Calvin around. You'd think if its automatic tramon Williams for gb would fallow him around. Nope, my 2nd/3rs corners who are low 70's are constantly covering him.

And to change what your defensible players assignment is, you go to whatever player it is. You hit up on the dpad and then I believe left with the right stick chooses qb spy.

If up on the dpad changes the entire DB ground try down on the dpad, I can never for the life of me remember which unless I'm actually doing it.

been messing with occ here wut ive found so far guys

when making a trade offer to the computer its almost impossible to get the deal u want there stiggy as .

when putting carl nicks on the trade block an OL thats 96 overall highest offer i got was only a 2014 1st rounder everyone else was trying 3rd rounders and 2nd rounders or combos of 2nd and 3rd rounders hmmm not sure wut to think of this unless the drafts are just blessed with talent unlike last year where its first rounders and everything else sucks N8 have u looked into how well the draft is compared to last year as in talent wise?

Yeah, I figured it might be one of the dpad controls. There's just never enough time to sit and stare at them. I need to start a two player game, so I can just memorize which option is where. It was easier last year when I could just press A. This year, both A and B switch players...like two buttons is necessary, haha.

Not yet. Let me go ahead and sim through that season right now.

just to did contract talks with a player u can talk about wut during the season they come to talk to u about there contract and everything if they have issues they let u know the next week if they will sign

ive also noticed u can deligate ur work load instead of having to handle it all urself which will help guys in two leagues becuz some shit im just not interested in doing anyways like every single contract of every player lol maybe im just lazy but im more of a i just want to play kinda guy i dont think two leagues will be hard to handle at all

Yeah I tossed Rodgers on the block for the heck of it. The most I got offered was a first. The raiders even offered only a 2nd and a fourth

i wouldnt mind the saints or the bucs i just kinda want to be in that division with the falcons and panthers seems like it will be a fun tight race division

if anyone doesnt want me to be these teams its cool i will stick with the bengals but i would rather have a team that fits my scheme of play more and well the bucs and saints both fit so if its allowed i will change teams once i get told whether i can or not

ya seems like we need to do human trade to make thing have more sense behind it becuz that computer system will rip u off big time

Yeah, I've advanced the dummy league to week 3, and Rob Bironas just notified me that he's ready to talk about a contract extension. So, at least that is there. I imagine players who are unhappy with their situation might not come talk to you early and probably would wait till the end of the season to hear offers from other teams. Damn, Rob Bironas told me "Your last offer wasn't good enough. Increase it or I'll test free agency." lol

Scouting also seems to be pretty elaborate. The new ticker thing will update you top collegiate players. Then, each week, you have the option to scout players based on their position. You can see what round they're projected to go in (which really...that seems the same as "potential" if you ask me) and even where in that round they should go. When you want to scout a player, there are a ton of different areas you can choose from. It basically starts with you knowing nothing about him. You can just do an overall scouting for 2000 SP (which is all the scouting points you have for a week). Or scout individual things like Player Type, Durability, Intangibles, Scheme, and Physical. Then there are the basic attributes of Speed, Agility, Acceleration, etc. All of these have varying costs.

Yeah I hope they fix the scheme glitch, where if you change your scheme it changes right back. Also I read that the difficulty in ccm doesn't change the human sliders. So all you'd have to do is lower them to the difficulty you want.

I'd actually rather have it like that than have the AI trade logic be TOO gullible. I don't want anybody acquiring Drew Brees for a 7th round pick.

ya i just messed with that a little bit ago seems a little fun and not to much time involved with messing with it pretty quick and easy i like it

so i was advancing the league to about week 13 start adding progression into my players and even when i added to some players in the spots u would want a player to become better at his overall still went down makes me wonder if some players and going to go down just becuz some times or becuz i waited so long to progress and since they were doing bad in the game when i simmed that they lost points and i wouldnt realize it? really makes me wonder

Ok, starting to feel a little better. The offseason stuff mostly looks great. After you've had an opportunity to extend player contracts throughout the season, you get one final chance as the off season starts. They'll tell you how long of a contract they want and how much money they're looking for. It's up to you if you want to undercut them...and how much of a split you want between salary and signing bonus.

After that week is advanced, those players become unrestricted free agents, and you've now allowed other teams to make bids on them. When you view the available free agents, it will show you what teams are interested in that player and how many bids have been made on him. Again, you decide what length/amount of contract you want to offer them. And after you submit it, they thank you and let you know they'll be in touch. This part feels very authentic.

So, really, we just have to decide how to handle signing free agents during the year...or if we need to handle it at all. I think what some people are going to be shocked by is how many players they're going to have to manage and re-sign. For instance, the Titans are a team with lots of cap room...but that's because they have a TON of expiring contracts. Each week, I had 2-3 more players needing to negotiate with me. So, I feel like if you're not careful with your spending, it could be easy to run out of money right when your star player's contract runs out.

also been playing a couple games with the saints i will take them if its aloud

how do bonus work they get the bonus that year or wut never really followed contracts to much to know much about them.

Sounds good

No offense, dude. But you're starting to come across as a guy who just wants to find a team he can win with. Not that we all don't want to play well. But most everybody in here decided on a team fairly quickly and stuck with it. You're bouncing from team to team to team. You sent me a PM saying you'd take the Bucs if it was ok...and now you're on to the Saints. The most hilarious part about is that you were one of the people pushing for us to pick teams as soon as possible. It's just starting to feel a little disingenuous.

But like I said, if everybody else is ok with it, I have no problem with you switching. Just seriously...decide on a ing team and present that to the rest of the league.
