That's bullcrap. Restarting games? I'd be done with that. Why not just do an offline dynasty Ralph? You can use whoever you want, play whenever you want and use any difficulty level you want. |

yeah it is but I'll just grin and bear it besides its only a game (at least I keep telling myself that). I have started two dynasty's one with Clemson and the other with Hawai'i and I'm going to play with both till I get attached to one or the other, I'm really excited to see recruits I bring in now that I'm actually trying. |

and I'm now on a 2 game losing streak I lost to A&M I was being dominated in the first half losing 14-0 but I remembered some tips from Rudy and I battled back in the second half and got it to 14-10 and once I did they turned up the heat and as soon as I dropped back I was sacked so I was throwing quickly so I wouldn't get sacked and every time I ran I was caught behind the LOS. long story short I had the ball twice in the last three minutes and I threw a pick inside the 20 and I turned it over inside the 30 for the loss |

so I finished season 2 this time with Arkansas at 8-5, I did beat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl, so that was cool. My friend and his brother wanted to do a third season and I agreed and my friend added a co-worker, so now we have a 4 person league. This time we could change to whatever team we wanted I flirted with using W. Virginia but opted for TCU (I'm just a big fan of the color purple, except when it comes to basketball) and of course all the big names are gone, so its tough sledding. The one change that did happen after me venting about it here is the re-starting, I don't do it but it got ridiculous with one of the guys re-starting 10 freaking times till he won, so now there is a cap of three, I don't want to use them but why should I be handicapped pride be damned. so I'm TCU, the other teams are Florida, Florida St, and USC. My first game I'm up against #8 Auburn at Auburn and I'm ranked #9, I don't feel like I have a chance, Auburn gets the ball first and on the first play a dive play I surround the runner for what I thought was a tackle, I sneeze and next thing I know the runner breaks away from the swarm and takes it to the house an 80 yard run, at this point I think re-starting may not be so bad I drive down and tie it up 7-7, later I get a shot at a 49 yrd FG and I blow it and Auburn gets it back and with two minutes to the half (5 minute qtrs) they score with 50 seconds left, I get the ball back and plan to go conservative and run out the clock, I get lucky on a hail mary and decide to go for the score and I tie it up with 9 seconds left, so its 14-14 at the half. I get the ball first and I drive down for another score 21-14 and now I get nervous I hate leading early because I can't stop the offense but I stop them, I drive down again and miss a 42 yard FG which was straight on but this kicker has a weak leg, I get another stop and get the ball back and I do nothing, so Auburn has the ball with 4 minutes left in the game and I'm nervous, they're on my 40 yrd line and its a third and 3, I'm lost but the QB decides to scramble to get the first and he does but he fumbles and I recover and I drive it down to score again to make it 28-14, I kick off and Auburn goes conservative and I get another fumble and put up another 3 as time runs out and I win 31-14 probably my most satisfying win in my dynasty adventure. I really enjoy playing with TCU, so I hope for good things and I'm going to take advantage of the three re-starts I did do one thing I never do and that is make a depth chart change, my RB was really pissing me off so I took the third string RB who was 5 points less overall but was 3 points better in speed and 6 overall in strength and it made a world of difference, I'm hoping to go undefeated

With the 3 restarts you should have no problem going undefeated. That is just a bunch of crap that these guys restart their games. There is no honour in that. I've been really pissed before but there is only one time I have done that in the last 20 years and that is with NCAA 08. I was losing 35-0 at halftime (and I was Alabama). I fumbled a million times as the game was bad that way and wasn't a good game period. Any freak thing that could happen in a football game happened and I was on the wrong end of it. I was 1-5 in my season at the time and I just couldn't take it and shut the game off. I think three restarts per SEASON is too high. |
