I personally think custom coaches should be required in any league. That way the UGAs of the world don’t have a massive head start.
I like the idea of doing three star prestige or less, or something like that. That said, I’d be new to the league obviously, so I’m not in a place to make demands or throw in my two cents quite as much.
I never cared about who picks what team because it all evens out within a few years anyway. So I have no preference either way
I’m good with whatever and generally agree with your thought. Maybe we wait to see how many teams we have. Only reason I brought it up is in my non-TMB we have 14-16 players and there was actually a notable difference with the teams who had more recruiting hours due to prestige. Probably didn’t help we advance slow as crap so there wasn’t much time to let it sort itself out. I think we’ll get through Season 6 just before CFB26 comes out.
I think we will be good either way. My big thing is just don’t have assholes in the league and that stuff sorts itself out. Jigga you still good running the show? Don’t want to make any assumptions.
Yeah I was going to say, this group seems to play a lot more “legit” than some of the guys in my other one. They aren’t cheesing per se but they’ll keep up with all the YouTube/Reddit info that shows the shortcuts on recruiting, etc. By the time I learned it I was too far behind plus had 200-300 less hours of recruiting so it’s been an uphill battle. If everyone plays mostly legit I don’t care as much.
We never really had a set schedule. We played pretty quickly generally unless someone was out of town. Will probably need to set one if the league expands though
Thanks, just trying to get an idea and make sure I'm not making a poor decision. I'm free almost every night from like 8pm until about midnight. Almost never available in the morning or afternoon as I don't work from home anymore. Weekends are hit and miss but I'm available more than I'm not.
That’s most of the league. I almost exclusively play human games after 8 PM EST. That said, we limit how many humans per conference so there are never more than 2-3 human games per user.
Ahh, I was thinking everyone was in one huge league. Are there rules on stat padding vs computer teams or is it a free for all? Not trying to get yelled at for getting Ryan Williams 700 yards a game.
no rules that I’m aware of. most people seem to play fairly realistically. I think my players won the most Heismans but my top runner or receiver was usually around 150 yards/game give or take
Well damn, guess you were serious. I don't want to be creating issues, not that big of a deal. I'll withdraw my application.
It is one “league” but we had a couple teams in each conference so you’d play a few user games each season, then the CFP was mostly users. Could be different this year if we have way more people. User games are great but sometimes it can create delays getting people on the same schedule so I don’t mind having the CPU games in there. We don’t have any “house rules” that I’m aware of. I don’t know if anyone spams plays to one guy though either. Personally, I get bored with one OP player/play so I try to keep it as “realistic” as possible. Sometimes I’m probably too stuck on that and it has cost me some games lol
This group played wayyyyy quicker than my non-TMB one but that one had like 15 players and some people would meltdown about simming their one game if everyone was waiting on them lol IMO you only need a couple nights per week to keep up, mostly you play your game and recruit which after you set your board that doesn’t take a ton of time week to week. Probably need like an hour to complete each “week”
letan The Hebrew Husker Bruce Wayne Detlef Schrempf jkun dblplay1212 MORBO! Do me a favor and send me a PM with what team you want to use. I want to see if there will be any issues with one or two overloaded conferences, at which point we can draw numbers for a random team draft. Doubt it’ll be an issue with this small of a group. My thinking is we start the league July 25 to give everyone a few weeks to get used to the new game. Also gives us a chance to see if there are any dynasty breaking bugs we need to wait out.
For now I’m fine with no cap. I think it’ll even out because at the end of the day there are people like Bruce Wayne who are gonna dominate regardless
DeToxRox if you want you can have Michigan this go around since I used them last game. I still haven't decided who I want to play with
If someone wants to create a discord go for it. We can stream games in there too if you link it to your Xbox (not sure on PS5)
At this point I think we are good with the teams everyone messaged. I’ll see if a few more people sign up in the next few days and then I’ll release the teams.
https://discord.gg/jNzeucKD TMB Dynasty Discord is set up. Link above. I can play with things and dress it up if we need as well.
Join us. PM me what team you want. We are trying to keep it balanced but before we determine if a random draft order is needed I am soliciting responses discreetly.
great, i have questions: default settings or what? pre order bonus coach points? do i have to start as a head coach? is there a list of things that are generally frowned upon? i only know etiquette for leagues i've done with close friends.
IMO Pre Order bonus turned off to keep it even Start as new/created HC (Level 1) I think as long as you play realistic and/or don’t cheese/exploit the game that’s good enough.
I’d like to see us bump up to Heisman difficulty. We did 4 minute quarters previously which helped us fly through seasons. I could see bumping it up to 5 or 6 but I don’t wanna make this feel like a chore either. The one thing I’m not sure yet are the sliders for dynasty. We may want to look at the transfer cap. 30 seems like a lot but once we all fuck around we may find it’s fine. The other thing is XP. I personally don’t want to manage my players XP but others may feel differently.
I think the auto run off for the playclock is what kills us most. I think if we did 5-6 min with the playclock run off turned off we should be good. I'm a fan of moving to AA but will do whatever the group wants. I'm with you on the XP and portal, but should leave sliders alone unless we know of a specific change that will limit cheesing or fix something broken (ie- press/man coverage being nonexistant)
I’ll verify offline but I believe we can set it up so you can, but those not interested in pursuing the option can just let the CPU do it for them.
This is my understanding as well. You have manual set to on, and if you want it done automatically, you just hold triangle or something. Then the CPU handles it.
