New NCAA 11 Dynasty (ps3) - One spot left for whoever wants it.
It has been about a month since a NCAA 11 dynasty thread has been posted and I'm having trouble finding one's that is consistently moving at a good pace (ie, people say in their descriptions that they are fast paced but then don't do anything for three weeks), so I'm going to start one and was wondering if anyone would be interested. Below are some of the rules that will be inforced:
- All American (Difficulty and Recruting)
- 6 minute quarters
- Will advance a week every 24 to 36 hours.
- No Time Savers
- No resets unless you have a valid reason. I won't kick out anyone for resetting games until it starts becoming continuous. I understand that something might happen (game freezes due to bad connection, etc).
- The rosters were updated at the beginning of the month (used gamingtailgate's rosters) so the names are there, but roster changes since then may not be accounted for (like Dorsey, Turner, Masoli, etc).
- Twelve teams, with no more than 3 coming from the same conference. It would be nice to see the teams spread out all the BCS conferences (good mid majors, Boise St, TCU, BYU, Notre Dame are fine as well).
- You will play 2 user non conference games in which you will need to schedule each season. I've found that it's easiest to schedule home and home series which each other. You can use this thread or PS3 messaging to set these up.
If you are interested in joining, choose a team and leave your PSN screen name so I can send out the invites. Right now, I have chosen Florida State as my team but may switch prior to starting based on other team selections to maintain balanace. I hope to start this ASAP. The password is mgoblog2011.

Invite sent. Who are you playing with?
August 24th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
Could I be either Boise St. or TCU??
August 24th, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
Either is fine.
August 24th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
Boise State please
August 24th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
I'm game, if we can stretch the advancement to 2 to 3 days. That's still two to three games a week.. Sometimes with the home life, family, and work etc it's tough to get a game in each day. I can understand not waiting 7 days.
If that's acceptable

The extra day really slows down the pace over the long run. A couple seasons running at two weeks per is much different than a month when considering how much can get done in a certain amount of time. I'll send you an invite and let you decide.

lprails2b... Undecided on my team. Im at work and will check it out. Totally agree with advancing every 36 hours... anything more than 2 days it drags.

I tried to send an invite and it says that the username doesn't have an EA account?

What can I do and can I not do currently for the pre-season?
I'm set-up as Boise State
August 24th, 2010 at 4:43 PM ^
You can basically do all of it (recruiting board, redshirt players, depth chart, anything under team management).

great, when are thinking you will start, are you going to wait until you have all 12 teams?
August 24th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
Yeah, though you can go on and do your preseason stuff now. You don't have to be on when I advance the week, just have to complete your recruiting and game before I advance to the next week.

You would choose Michigan! I assumed they were off limits since they would probably be everyone's first choice.
August 24th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
Ha ha ha... I read through the team selections and nobody picked them... so I did!
August 25th, 2010 at 9:23 AM ^
I just hope I don't have to play you, because I would just purposefully lose. And nobody would like that.

Sign up list so far - mgoblog name (PSN) - team:
- redwings8831 (redwings8831) - Florida State (for now, might change to maintain balance)
- silverslugger (WolverineKFD20) - Boise State
- all those yesterdays (clifford_foster) - ???
- agasp (Bosox341518) - Miami
- macgoblue10 (macgoblue10) - LSU
- bmiddy (bmiddy23) - ???
- mmharmon (mmharmon) - Texas
- moleskyn (flick1211) - Cal
- Bob Probert Owns You (Brow1812) - Michigan
- Kal (kal48104) - Oklahoma
We need at least one, preferiably two from the SEC. There are decent teams in the Big East if anyone wants them. Another Big Ten or Pac Ten wouldn't hurt. Also, TCU, Notre Dame, BYU are good mid majors/independents.
August 24th, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
Anyone else interested?
August 24th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
sorry gave you the wrong psn earlier... its macgoblue10... ill be Va Tech
August 24th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
Ok. Invite sent.
August 24th, 2010 at 8:33 PM ^
This is what is avaiable for teams:
- SEC (1 or 2 teams) - If 1 team then from the SEC East
- ACC (0 or 1 team - already have 2)
- Big Twelve North (0 or 1 team - have 2 in Big Twelve South)
- Big Ten (1 team, not including Michigan - Brow1812)
- Pac Ten (1 team)
- Big East (0 or 1 team - not necessary)
- Mid-Major or Notre Dame (0 or 1 team - not necessary)
There are only four (not including Brow1812 and kal48104 who have signed up but not registered) spots available in this dynasty so all of the items above won't be filled and thats fine.
August 24th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
I'll register when I get out of work.
August 24th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
Ok. Thats fine. Still looking for four more people though.
August 24th, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
PSN is wafflebook. I'll pick West Virginia for now. Might switch to another available team.
August 24th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
Invite sent. If you do switch, please do so before I advance to week 1.
August 25th, 2010 at 1:51 AM ^
Anyone else interested? I'd like to have 12 teams in this.
August 25th, 2010 at 9:16 AM ^
teams are in so far? I would be able to play in another league. user: thrivemusic
I'll be Florida if there is still a spot open in the SEC. If not, will you update me on who is what team and how many conference slots are open?
August 25th, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
Invite will be sent this afternoon. Georgia was taken from the SEC East already so please choose a different conference. We could use another Big Ten or Pac Ten. Cal and Michigan have been chosen so far.

Teams in bold haven't joined yet. Between clifford_foster and michiganfanforlife, one should take a Big Ten team while the other should take a Pac Ten team. If either one doesn't want to play, then we'll have a spot opened. Once all twelve teams are registered, I will post more information. I will probably advance to week 1 tomorrow (we need to figure out non-conference schedules first) and then start it up.
August 25th, 2010 at 11:42 AM ^
good start so far
are we going to keep this thread going during the season?
August 25th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
We better keep this thread going, or communicating will become a huge pain.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
I'm planning on creating a proboards site (free, quick, and easy message board, proboards.com) that we will use for communication between teams, scheduling non conference and user games, etc. It should be easier than everyone messaging me their schedules, user games, questions, etc. and there is no way online to sort through a bunch of messages.
More information will be posted about that (and a link) once we have all 12 teams registered. I'll post it here and online. Just waiting for the last three teams to register (at work right now so can't send michiganfanforlife his invite).
Just make sure you have your preseason complete (recruting board, redshirts, depth chart) done. We will work on the schedules once everyone is registered (hopefully tonight) and then we'll start.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
I run a proboards site for a Madden 10/11 league. You can check it out for ideas, if you like.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:38 PM ^
Thanks. Your's is much more advanced than anything we'll need for this dynasty. I'm planning on using it just so we have a place to talk (besides this thread) and organize information for the seasons.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:47 PM ^
At work right now, will accept invite when I get home.
August 25th, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
Ok thanks. Now just waiting for clifford_foster (do you want the spot?) and michiganfanforlife.
