well i know of a good coach that wants in, but he was kicked out of the farm because of the 35 point rule. I warned him when he was telling me he was up 35, then this cheesy ass takes a sack of 15+ yards, running into the endzone to put it over 35. And from the sounds of it this guy had done stuff similiar before, so it must be slim pickings in the farm.

Why is the farm using top ranked teams. I thought they always used middle of the pack teams.

The Great NDL Crisis of Season 17.
This is the second largest crisis next to the The Big Shift of Season 10.

no i'm not sure what team he had. I just know he was up 35 before the safety in the final seconds. So he won by 37. It's been a month or more now. He was pumped about finally having a chance at getting into the NDL. Kept trying to talk to someone (not sure who), but no one would ever respond so he just kind of gave up.

The blame lies with EA I guess. They keep adding more fuel to the fire by adding more stupid stuff than quality. I don't know how to use half these cheesy features but they are their, and people are gonna use them.

I don't really see that much used that often. I have little to no problems with any of my games.....ever. I have learned that more people are using big run, hold blocks...then I ever realized. I didn't know they helped, but I'll stick to my no fumbles and keep that stuff off.

If this is true I would think the other coach would be the one that should be kicked out. If anyone in the NDL took a huge sack for a safety to put some one over the 35 point win rule late there would be an uprising against them. Hell, if it happened accidentally I'd expect both coaches to agree to keep the score at the 35 point level.

that's what i thought. He even has the video (i'm sure he still does). He didn't even know how to save/view videos but he was so worried about it he called me just so he could save some of the bs this other guy was doing.
But he didn't fight it as much as he should have, I'm not sure the commish's ever really knew the entire story.

Na I read about this guy in the farm...Oklahomaboy is the one I kicked out last week for winning 48-0. I dont know this other guys since this is my first season of taking over the farm for BigMike....But God ole mighty. Ive played about 8 guys in the farm..and read about 5-6 scouting reports...and its slim pickens down there.
There is a couple Ive heard good shit about..but Ive never played them...and they have yet to play a game in the farm to get a report on them.

i played that oklahomaboy. in a dynasty i was shortly in....he used every gamplan feature on agressive. I even paused him and asked him if he knew that he was doing that and he said it wasnt illegal in the dynasty and it was part of the game. So this doesnt surprise me one bit.

I think so, I think we need about 10 more new guys just in case. I tried with one but havent heard anything from him. He was a quality coach when I played a lobby game and recommended him to the non cheesefest Farm (or is it a cheese fest?)

I played a guy tonight who was pretty good, probably better than some in the farm. Told him to put in an application and see if he can make his way up

Maybe you could do a write up about it....
I personally think this league is in fine shape, and by far anyone that is in a 2nd league would tell you this is by far there favorite league to be in.....with that said, the farm is the farm. We ll be ok, i have faith in that....
