CAG MLB 10: The Show League Fantasy Teams! MIL/PHI/SD open! Series 6 Games Due 9/6!

All right, it looks like neither Dahk or SnorE has played a game yet. I'm not going to flat out kick people out right away, but what I am going to do is give them until Friday to play at least one game. If they still haven't played a game by Friday, they will both be given losses for their Series 1 games.

There are currently 5 unresolved games from Series 1, so I would also like to ask others to try to focus on getting those games played specifically. I know it contradicts the whole concept of having a flex schedule, but the problem is, the schedule will not move forward until those games are completed.

In a way, we almost need to forget that the game allows you to play multiple opponents, and just go through the schedule one week at a time. Look at your Series 1 (or Series 2 if you've played Series 1) game, and contact that person to try to get your game played. It's not ideal, but it's probably the best way to keep the league moving.

I'm giving everybody a grace period until Friday. After that, there will be an expectation of playing AT LEAST one game per week. We should all be making a little more of an effort. Let's make it happen.

EDIT - Perfect example. SnorE is on right now...as I've seen him on many times, but he's doing something else, and won't respond to my messages. I mean, right now he's watching MLB.tv, so I get that, but when it's another game and you just don't feel like playing, what are we supposed to do? When you're constantly choosing other things over playing MLB 10 how do you expect to be part of a league?
 
GenDV, I'll be on sometime tonight. I'll send you a challenge if I see you online. I have 4 or 5 opponents from the first 9 games that I haven't played yet (I forget who). Send me a challenge when you see me available.

I'll play you if I see you on in time, latest time I can start is probably around 10 PM EST on weeknights due to work.
 
I haven't played in this league for at least a week even though I already have 4 games under my belt. Here is the order of who I have left...

Series #1- DahkX (Red Sox)- Still in it?
Series #2- n8 (Rangers)- Commish vs. Commish :)
Series #4- HQN101 (Astros)- PS3 problems?
Series #5- zSnoreEz (Padres)- Still in it?
Series #7- DestroVega (Athletics)- I have you in my other league F.Y.I

I'm available every night this week. If you want to make an "appointment" or something message me. Don't be afraid to ask me to play if I'm playing Final Fantasy or something else. I can move over pretty fast. I'm with you n8 lets get moving!!!
 
Sorry Destro, missed your PSN message. I must have looked away for a minute.

I can start around 10 PM at the latest (Sun-Thurs night) and usually get home from work by 5:30 PM, more flexible on weekends. I'll be around tomorrow and the rest of the week though.
 
Bumping this to remind Dahk and SnorE that they have until tomorrow to play at least one game, or they will be at risk for being kicked out of the league. As I said, I'm not going to kick them out right away, but I will begin giving them losses for games.

Also, hqn101 has been having problems with his PS3 and told me that I could drop him from the league and divvy up his players. I'd rather not lose another player, but if we have to, I'd really rather not make the teams even more stacked than they already are. Not sure what to do about this one. I might just let it sit a little while and see if his situation changes. After all, it's not like he's just ignoring the league.
 
Just to keep people updated, I'm gonna have to trade in some of my games to get my PS3 fixed, unfortunately the show will be one of them as I can buy it back later for $10 through RLS. I will drop and I apologize for any trouble I have caused the league
 
Well, looks like I'll be simming some games today and unfortunately, dropping hqn101 from the league. I guess we could replace him if there's anybody interested in the spot. Or we just keep moving with less people. Honestly, there could be a few more who end up getting booted anyway.
 
This is also in the OP, but I thought I'd post it here in case people don't check the OP.

4/30/10 - State of the League
All right, now that the league has been underway for a little over 2 weeks, I'd like to start seeing some significant progress in keeping the schedule moving. Some teams have done GREAT, and have played 4-5 games already. Anybody who's on a pace of 2 games per week has nothing to worry about. You're definitely doing your part. Keep it up!

But there are a couple people who haven't played any games. This is inexcusable. For now, I'll just giving these players losses, but to keep in tune with baseball, 3 strikes and they're out. From this point on, people need to be playing AT LEAST one game a week. With the way the schedule works, we really all need to stay moving together, otherwise we're going to get to a stalemate, where the entire league is waiting on 2 people. Anybody who causes this league to stop moving will be kicked out.

Unfortunately, hqn101 has to drop from the league, so that means that the Houston Astros (with fantasy players, mind you) are open. The Astros are 0-1, so you won't be starting with too much of a disadvantage. I'll try to take some screen shots of the Astros roster when I get on my PS3 in a little while, that way people can know exactly what they'd be signing up for. Other than that, I've been pretty happy with how this league is going. Just need to see a little more effort from a few people. Here's where we are now in terms of standings and recent games played.

[quote name='m_d_amore']recent ha those games are far from recent lol
:)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but because of the way the "flex scheduling" works, we're going to hit snags like this. I mean, think about it, most people have played between 4-7 games (and you've played 8). With 2 people in the league not having played at all...a lot of people could be essentially done with their first 9. That's how I am in Josh's league. The 3 people he dropped were all opponents in my first 9 games. So, even though I've only played 3 games in his league...it's like I've played 6. I'm about to go sim those couple games and drop hqn101 from the league though, so I'm hoping at least a little more will open up.

And as I've always said, I'm doing the best I can with what I have to work with.
 
Ok, I gave losses to Dahk and SnorE for their Series 1 games and I dropped hqn101. Unfortunately, this did nothing to open up the schedule. There are still 2 other Series 1 games that haven't been played. GloomyAvenger vs. DestroVega and CaptainBackslap vs. madnena. There's also an unresolved game of GenDV128 vs hqn101...which I haven't bothered resolving yet on the off chance that we get someone who wants to take over the Astros...and also because it wouldn't matter until something is done about those two other games.

But here's my dillemma and the reason this scheduling is retarded. While TheGloomyAvenger is one of the people currently holding the schedule up, he's played 4 games. I sure as hell am not going to kick him out, and I don't even like the idea of not letting him play all his games since he's clearly making an effort.

The only thing I can think to do now is advise people to seriously forget that you have the option of playing anybody other than the opponent directly in front of you. Play one week at a time, and seek out your first opponent on the schedule. Because SCEA is retarded and doesn't know what "flex" means, playing games 5-9 does us absolutely no good when we need to get the entire league through Series 4 to move on.

So, I'm going to give these guys 4 days to get that Series 1 game played. I know CaptainBackslap has been having PS3 trouble, but at worst, he'll have to take one for the team. I need these games completed by Tuesday night.

Also, here's some screen caps of the Astros roster in case anybody wants to replace hqn101.

Yeah, I'll take them.[/QUOTE]

Look at the great team. What's super lame now that I've sold most of my games, the PS3 is now out of stock in the ENTIRE state of Texas.
 
which is why expressed an urgency to get series 1 games done before all else. not to hold everyone up. glad you finally agree

Glad I "finally agree"? WTF? I've always thought that. But I'm not the one who made the fucking scheduling. You were wanting me to just sim the damn games regardless. There's no way I'm going to hold anything against anybody who has played 4+ games just because they haven't been able to link up with their Series 1 opponent. That's Sony's fuck up. I'm really getting tired of you copping attitude with me about every little thing in the league. If you think you can do a better job, run it yourself. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, which is why you wanted me to just sim the games no matter what. You'd be a much better commissioner. You'd get pissed that everybody else didn't play their 9 games in one day like you, and sim the entire league. Next time you want to be a smart ass, just keep your mouth shut.
 
hey n8 can i please have the open spot? I really wanted to get in this and i am active in the other league as well if you wanted to check. Think I have about 5 games played?
 
Sorry Steggy, as you can see above, yukine posted an interest in taking the team before you. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if another opening comes up in a week or two, and I'll definitely give you priority if that happens.
 
Not sure if he's accepted yet, but I sent yukine an invite to the league yesterday. Since he's in now, that means he and GenDV138 have a series 1 game to play. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could get that done by the deadline too. Trying to be as fair as I can to everyone, but we need to get that damn schedule opened up.
 
[quote name='DestroVega']i played gloomy... he beat me 3-2... if anyone else is around today for either league i could play[/QUOTE]

Good job getting that game played, guys. I appreciate the effort.
 
Does anyone know if captainbackslap has been on his PS3, or if it's broken? I sent him a PSN message a couple of days ago and he hasn't responded.

I'll try to get it done asap, don't think he joined yet as it still shows HQN101 as my series 1 opponent. I'll PM yukine and try to set up a time to play though.
 
I'll accept it in a moment, I can't play GenDV since I have to write a paper but tomorrow I'm open so we should be able to get the game played no problem.
 
Trying this for the 487th time- I am the Dodgers. If I am on your schedule, I would like to play you tomorrow evening. Please respond on here and/or send X Matt Young X a message on Xbox Live, since I won't be on the PS3 unless I have a game scheduled. Everyone's getting the Halo:Reach beta, so I'll finally have people I know to play with after having the thing since Thursday.
 
I have destrovega(A's) for series 3; thegloomyavenger(tigers) for series 4; cusemankeith (yankees) for series 5; and gendv138(twins) for series 7.

GG GenDV, too bad it looks like I won't get the win since that game didn't count as you are still available in my schedule.

Unless n8 can resolve it?

GG yukine, I've had that happen in my last game but it should update eventually, guess it's just slow at updating results sometimes.

Haaa...there it is folks! Suspicions confirmed. Just like in Josh's league with mdam0re. League replacements will not have their games (or stats I'm sure) counted. Hopefully I can resolve it, but once again, what a broken piece of shit. fuck you Sony! I saw that one coming a mile away.

Regardless, good job getting the game played, guys. I really appreciate the effort. It's just ridiculous how hard we have to try to make this thing work.
 
Thanks for the ass-kicking...

well fellas, at 1:23 AM today just after finishing up some call of duty multiplayer, my Sony TV's lamp popped... TV is dark for now until I can get it replaced Thursday... not a huge time off, but wanted to let everyone know.
 
All right, guys. The league has moved forward. The only game from Series 1 that didn't get played was between Supreme and madbst. But Supreme PM'd me a day or so ago to let me know that he's still having trouble finding a new PS3 and to just give him the loss. Hopefully another week provides him with better luck.

Unfortunately, there was no option to resolve the game between yukine and GenDV138. It's like the league knows the damn game got played, but isn't recording it. yukine, it's your call on what you want to do, man. My fear is that every single game you play is going to do the same thing. You could play the rest of your 20 game schedule, and this fucking piece of shit will still probably say you're 0-1 at the end of the season. My opinion is that it's probably worth playing one more game, just to see if maybe it was a fluke. But after that, it's not worth wasting your time over.

For anybody following along at home, since we've now officially completed Series 1, that means the schedule has opened up...by one game. Series 10 is now open. Since SCEA insists that we move along at this snail's pace, I'm requiring that Series 2 games be completed by next Tuesday 5/11 by 11:59 PM EST. Obviously, feel free to play any other games you have available, but make Series 2 a priority. Thanks, guys!
 
Out of curiosity, who has a mic? Can we make a list or something of who has one and who doesn't? We could possibly copy the list on the OP

I (ajumbaje) have one.
