NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 5, Week 5) - PS3

[Kageho]

Well folks, the league is up! League ID and Pass are TRTSMD (pass in lower case) for anyone who still wants to join in, however the league has begun play!

Oh, and just for the record, you can change teams. This can only be done by the commish though, and if you want to change teams you'll be required to have a few seasons with your current team or fail absolutely spectacularly with your current team and only during the off-season will the change occur.

As soon as all user games are played, the week will advance, so do your recruiting before you play your game. This allows the users to move the Dynasty when people can.

Count me in as Boston College.

- Custom Conferences: No. Again, more fun to have current conferences.
- Teambuilder: No. More fun to use legit schools anyway.
- Rosters: Yes. I'd like to be able to see my D carved up by guys like Andrew Luck or Mark Ingram.

 

[Cartman]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League (PS3 - Preliminary Discussions)

I'm in! I'll use TCU.


- Custom Conferences: No.
- Teambuilder: No.
- Rosters: Yes.

I'll give everyone till the end of Saturday to respond to the answers and make the league official on Sunday. I'll be playing as Boise State.

Also what are people's thoughts on the sliders?

Pretty good sliders. For USER, you may want to put RB Ability to 50 and RB Blocking to 55 (Playmakers said that helps the rushing game for Spread/Run-and-Shoot teams). I also have the CPU Rush Defense down to 80.

Kicking wise... I have FG Power at 65 and FG Acc at 90 for both to replicate the growing realistic abilities of kickers to hit 50+ yarders fairly easily and make 80-85% of their kicks. Kickoff Power I have set to 40 to help teams start more around the 25-30 like in real life on kick returns.

I can solve your sliders dilemma. Just play on Heisman, pussies. Just kidding... but seriously, how are you not winning every game by 50+ on varsity?

The league will be up and running this Sunday, hopefully. No one's really sad anything against anything proposed, so it'll move forward as intended.

That's not really the reason I was asking about the sliders. Its more to balance everything out to make the game fun to play no matter what team you choose or if you happen to have a down year during your dynasty.

It's a lot easier when you assume Varsity is at its default flat 50 settings. The above sliders Flik posted come from this thread: http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-football-sliders/425525-playmakers-slow-speed-varsity-level-custom-skill-sliders-30.html (latest slider updates) As you can see from the games played, the scores are very rarely blowouts since the sliders actually force users to play tough games.

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League (PS3 - Preliminary Discussions)

Out of boredom I decided to lab the QB Accuracy slider and FG Power for USER and Pass Coverage for CPU to see what the "ideal" range is. I labbed Florida's Offense only. Everything else is set at 50.

QB Accuracy
30 - Can throw 65 yards but WR has to stop to catch the ball. Decent zip on the ball on outside routes.
40 - Can throw 70 yards but WR has to stop to catch the ball. Decent zip on the ball on outside routes.
50 - Can throw 60-65 yards with WR catching the ball over shoulder. Decent zip on the ball on outside routes.
60 - Can throw 65 yards with WR catching the ball over shoulder. Solid zip on the ball on outside routes.
70 - Can throw 65 yards with WR catching the ball at side in stride. Solid zip on the ball on outside routes.
80 - Can throw 60 yards with WR catching the ball over shoulder. Good zip on the ball on outside routes.

Seems the sweet spot tends to be around 60-70 range for USER QB Accuracy.

CPU Pass Coverage - QB Accuracy set to 70
30 - 1 on 1 coverage can be beaten but rarely. Allows too much cushion on outside hook.
40 - 1 on 1 coverage can be beaten but rarely. Tighter cushion on outside hook.
50 - 1 on 1 coverage is impossible to beat deep. Here is where the "CPU" reads the hook better than the WR.

Seems the sweet spot is around 35-40 for CPU pass coverage.

FG Power
30 - 10 yard line is fairly good. Barely clears the cross bar at the 20 yard line.
40 - 20 yard line is fairly good. 25 yard line is fairly good. Barely clears the cross bar at the 30 yard line.
50 - 30 yard line barely clears the crossbar.
60 - 30 yard line is fairly good. Barely clears the crossbar at the 35 yard line.
70 - 35 yard line barely clears the crossbar.

Sweet spot seems to be the 60-65 range for USER FG Power. That'd give most an upper range of 50-55 yard attempts with some risk at making them.

No custom conferences
No Teambuilder
Yes Rosters

Put me down for Syracuse, if you please.

 

[Bored]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League (PS3 - Preliminary Discussions)

I'll join as Stanford.

Custom Conferences: Yes, although looks like I'll be the only one.
Teambuilder: Hell no.
Rosters Names: Yes, no reason to not have the real player names.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

Since it was pretty much agreed upon, league is now set up. Read the first post for details.

 

[Red Baron]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

Like I said, when is this starting? I will be down as Illinois though.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

;D I just said the league has started up, its currently up now. Hence, read the first post for new details as the league ID and password are contained there.

Do you mean when will the first season actually start? I'm hoping by Monday, but its going to depend on how long people take.

The last thing I'm going to ask everyone is roughly how much time they would need to do all the recruiting and play their weekly games? I'm think 2-3 days would be more than enough, but I figured I'd toss that out there while we're still in Pre-Season.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

2-3 days sounds like it should be feasible.

Just set up everything for my BC Eagles. Now here's hoping it all saved and is reflected.

 

[oldskool]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

http://www.easports.com/dynasty for the record. also so i can find it to bookmark it at work tomorrow.

just got in, didn't see any option for custom schedules but I did my redshirting/depth chart/recruiting.

 

[Cartman]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

Flik is the only one who can change the schedules around.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

Alright, I thought everyone had that option. Thus, if anyone has any scheduling requests, please send me a PM with the schedule you wish to submit.

It'll be by a first come first serve basis. So whoever wants to increase or decrease their schedule strength, let me know. You'll have till tomorrow.

BTW, if you schedule someone on mine, I'll concede the game to that person. After all, I'm commish. I need to make some sacrifices.

 

[Bored]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I'd recommend waiting a few days before starting the dynasty to see if we get a few more people to sign up.

As for the schedule I'd like to change my Week 1 opponent since it's currently one of the generic FCS teams but problem is I have no idea what teams are available to play against.

 

[Cartman]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I wouldn't mind if you switched my week 2 game, which is currently vs. FCS southeast, to whatever available ranked opponent.

If that's what you guys would like, that's ok with me. I just said Monday just because we were cruising along.

If you guys just want to change weeks 1 to 2 you've got the whole NCAA to choose from.

Cartman, I gave you #21 Florida State. Is that acceptable?

 

[oldskool]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

If you could swap either of my FCS opponents to be vs Buffalo, that'd be great.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I could swap out probably both if you'd like. Name a second team and I'll see what I can do for you.

 

[Bored]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

Give me a home game against Missouri in Week 1. Unless someone wants to play me head-to-head to open the season, I'd be open to that.

 

[Red Baron]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I don't have the game right now, but give me a week or so when I get out of the site I work at and get the game.

 

[Cartman]

Florida St. is great flik, thanks!

Not a problem. I'll give you Missouri.

I don't have the game right now, but give me a week or so when I get out of the site I work at and get the game.

A week might be a little much golf. However, what do the rest of you feel? I mean, I can wait a week if everyone's ok with it.

Florida St. is great flik, thanks!

Not a problem, I'm happy to have helped you out Cartman.

 

[Cartman]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I'm ok with waiting if everyone else is.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

NCAA 11 Online Dynasty League PS3 (Pre-Season)

I'm cool with waiting a week as well.
