The old league is getting nuked regardless of what we decide. At this point, I really want to wait for the new rosters so we can mirror the real teams. We have a week before that happens, which I think will give people plenty of time to actually try a few games online playing on Legend with EQ On. After a week if people like it, we'll do it. If a lot of people hate it, we can turn it off. But after my discussion tonight I don't think comeback code when playing another human player is an issue, but again, I really advise people to try it themselves first.

Which is kinda funny because that's what I suggested before we even started the last ones. Sheesh...

Crap, the old league is gone, and I just gave up my Cowboys. At least I didn't choke like Missouri did tonight.

I have a opening for 1 player in a tournament I set up "Dogs of War" if anyone has the time to commit your welcome to join. It's short and sweet, 1 game elimination, games need to be played within 3 days. The password is gig. Bill I think a tourney may be a good way to tie us over till next week. How about starting a full tourney?

A tourney isn't a bad idea. Anyway, I'm off to go lab the Legend EQ settings. From what I'm hearing, the quarterback scramble and defensive line moves are both significantly toned down, which is more important to me than the degree to which Randy Moss destroys Mike Rumph.

I'm definitely in for the new league (I'll take the Jets if they come free, but otherwise will stick with Denver).

I'm liking the settings a lot. A lot.

Incidentally, I think we can probably go ahead and turn multiple hot routes on with these settings. With the bad defensive AI, helping the offense any more than necessary would have been really pushing things, but with the better defensive play, it might be nice to throw in the extra flexibility of the multiple hot routes (especially for the Madden players).

I'm good with six minute quarters. I think seven is pushing the amount of time I can put forth at any one sessions.

Well, Spooky has the Jets so unless he is willing to swap with you and take Denver...or willing to go insane and take San Diego or Arizona, I think you're Bronco Bound.

Still a Giant. You can bribe Sal into giving you the Rams if you want.

The choices only get better..........

Maybe I could give him some tips. It pains to watch the Rams lose, even in a video game.

Last I heard, yeah. I wonder if they'll do anything to player ratings..

Which is what we want.

Bill_Abner · Post by **Bill_Abner** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:04 pm

Yep, we're ready to go.

Is there a way to view these rosters before we start?

So far 17 teams are signed up so everyone should get signed in ASAP. I'll also send out an email.
