Not really, I have no talent on this team as the CPU has ruined them. But ill do whatever. But with ND no longer on the REAL life schedule I myself dont see a need to play them.

Please give the guys who have only 1 user game some of the D1 opponents instead, seems fair cause otherwise it does give them a much better chance to reach the championship than those of us playing like 3 or more. Not picking on you guys, but why are you playing in an OD opposed to playing a Dynasty offline if you just here to recruit? I get recruiting is more fun against people, personally I think 2 user games is fair expectation of each of us. Just my 2 cents.

I understand your point here, BUt in my OD and others it seems that once the User vs User games come around no one seems to wanna play them. they would rather have them simmed and take there chances. And my time is very limited so I dont wanna slow anyone down or anything. Thats the reason I only want 1 user game. And I want to keep things real so I dont want ND on my schedule any more. If this all seems to be a issue I can just leave the OD and not have to worry also.

I have no problem with you not wanting to play me. No big deal really. It does give guys with only one user game an easier road to NC but that's no biggie. I enjoy playing other guys. Pengy and I have epic games every time we play and it always comes down to the last possession or overtime.
As far as nobody wanting to play user games, that doesn't happen in this OD. I'll hold it up to get user games in because they all have big implications. The only reason user games don't get played is because of connection issues.

I'm not chasing anyone out, I'm just letting my perspective be known.

Ill play either or both fsu and ND.

You've got FSU week 2. ND week 11. Already had it set up.

Sounds good. Once ndl season ends ill be open to more user games.

Because recruiting against the CPU isn't that fun, and because when you play offline the "top teams" always lose one weird game every season to make it easier for you to win the title. With this many good teams, the title game is gonna be a user game anyways.

I'll second this... My schedule opens up with NDL games out of the way, it would be nice to play an actual person.

Nothing you said is untrue, but my point remains. We are all going win 99.9% of the time we play a cpu controlled team, so when you only have 1 user game it is a heck of a an advantage on getting into the championship game, even with a weaker schedule.

I've had to battle to win some of my OD games vs the CPU. Unlike humans, CPU teams become superhuman in the 4th quarter when they're losing (at least in the SEC).

A week 1 bye for Oregon? BAH HUMBUG!!!!

Advanced to week 1. No user games. Georgia and Notre Dame are the only two teams with games. Next advance Sunday unless everybody finishes early.

LOL. I tried but with the game requests and shuffling schedules I couldn't schedule more week one games.

Just messin with ya.. I was online and saw that it advanced and jumped on excited to play a game. Guess I am recruiting instead! Great Job getting us up and running another season bro..

I was on recruiting this morning, and wanted to see if it was messed up for anyone else. After I would call a prospect it would show that I never called him (the little icon was green). Then on 1 occasion a guy down my list that I know for sure I didn't call, it wouldn't let me call him saying that I had already called him that week. Just curious if this happened to anyone else.
