It tells me that the thread was started on a Saturday (this place is SLOW on weekends) and it's only been two days. Go tell me how long this league thread has been going to garner 50+ responses...looks like July 4th to me...a nice and cool 13 days.
And most everyone is playing on All-American in online play.
Understood...If the league is AA..I would be opting out...I only play heisman level so AA won't cut it for me..Good luck tho...I'm sure the league will be fun for you guys.

Sorry to hear that our league won't cut it for you...

I should have guessed that the "h" in "Killah" stood for Heisman.

I am a patient boy.
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.
My time is water down a drain.
So, the time-zone deal isn't really working out as neatly as I'd hoped. With 'cereal' man gone, we can have three 8-team divisions. We only have 5 in the west (one is actually uncomfirmed) and ten in the central, nine in the east, so we'd have to move three guys from central to west, and one guy from east to central. Sounds like that sort of defeats the purpose, but we'll decide later, once I can get some divisions up for y'all to look at.
Once I get the info on the last three guys, I will put together some divisions in different configurations. One will be loosely time-zone based, one will be based on overall ratings. Once I get those together, you guys can look at them and vote in the poll and we'll see where we are. The good news is that with even-sized divisions, 11 game seasons will be easy for me to schedule up.
One other question I'd like for folks to consider is game length. Do we want to go with the default 5 min. quarters, or should we consider 6 or 7 min. quarters? Throwing that out there for folks to consider.
Re: time zones, I can play pretty late (up to about 2am eastern, 11pm pacific). If we're organizing by time zone, I can play just about anywhere on most days.
5 Min quarters already equate to almost an hours worth of playtime...I don't think we should exceed that. I see very bad things happening if you go to 7 min. quarters.

Agreed, with the shorter play clock, 5 minutes should be okay.

agreed! As a matter of fact, anything above 5 minute quarters and I'll have to drop out. This game is painful enough as it is, please don't extend the quarters.

Bad, are you sure you want to be in this league? It sounds like you really don't like the game.
It appears the overwhelming consensus is for 5 minute quarters, so we will stick with that.
Excellent, now that breakfast boy is gone our divisions seem to fold out very nicely.
Zeppo has the schedule pretty much taken care of and we don't have much fight over the quarter length and settings. I think 5 minutes quarters is more than suitable for the league as everyone has stated. If sliders were able to be used online for non-ranked games then it might make sense to alter the quarter lenght, but since that isn't possible it will be best for us to just stick with default 5 minute quarter un-ranked games.
With that in mind we could be in for our first game night this weekend.

Sweet...just in time for me to spend three straight weekends out of town. I'm gonna have to do some damage on weeknights.
, I will have to get my weekend game out of the way before this weekend as well. I will be out of town from the 23rd through the 26th training with my soccer club.

Agreed!! 5 mins is good to go, no need for 7, thats way to long, BTW, a question....does anyone have georgia? If not I am seriously considering switching from Eukla (UCLA) to them.

I like the game just fine when people are not exploiting the many flaws that it has. I personally think we're going to need a house rule about how often you can go deep. I can tell you without question that a long pass is a whole lot easier to complete than a 15 yarder, so if you have 3rd and 13, why not just go long?
There was a good thread over at OS about what cheese really is and how much is too much of the same running play or the same qb rollout. I think we all know certain plays work far more than they fail so what do we do about the ones that work most of the time?

Whats up bro!?
I was playing your boy the other day (all sim, and fun as hell) I was up something like 17 - 7 or something like that, then in the middle of the 4th, I got dropped
Needless to say, EA gave me the loss and the DNF
I was having a blast with your boy (he's a cool guy) and hope to play him again someday.

Defend it. Seriously, if a guy keeps rolling out, or calling the same running play, how hard is it to adjust and stop it?
I consider myself to be as sim as anyone, but the moment we start enforcing silly house rules, that's when everyone stops having fun. If you're man to man with my best WR, you're damn right I'm going to him. To me, it's simple football. If you're not covering my backs in the flats, guess what, I'll keep feeding it to them. I think the only thing that's being exploited is the defensive playcalling of your opponent.
I don't see any need for restrictive 'house' rules. Outside of the goes-without-saying areas of fair football (like not subbing a DE in at FB, or onside kicking every time, or calling time outs and trying to score in the last minute when well ahead), I haven't seen anything in this game online I've played that would necessitate any. None of the guys from this group that I've played so far have even been thinking about finding or exploiting any weird glitches. I did play one game against a random opponent, and he threw deep every time, 4 downs a shot. It pretty much played into my hands, and before the half was over he quit. I also don't think we need to make any firm rules regarding fourth downs. I think the folks in this group would understand when it feels appropriate and when it doesn't, and anywhere in the opponent's 30-40 area is clear 4 down territory and should be fair game.

Bad - Cheesers suck, but that is the point of the league isn't it? To play with people we know.
I played a random the other night, he was Texas. All he did was throw the long fly pattern, or roll out and run with his QB out of the Shotgun.
By late in the 3rd quarter I was beating him 28-7 so he quit. How did I stop this cheese, I went 3-4 and blitz my 2 OLB on every play, while controlling my MLB to shadow the QB. When he chucked it up, I switched to the DB and either swatted or hit him (since the game calls no PI on default).
I didn't enjoy myself one bit during the game, but I did enjoy pissing off a cheeser.

I'm working the next 3 weekends. Was Wednesday also considered a choice for game night?
