Workers 2011 Discussion Thread

Okay I'm home now so anytime you're ready I am. It's been raining here all day, pretty heavily, so hope the power doesn't go out while we are playing.

Told you I had a secret for AJ. My real goal was to not let him get behind me. He caught a lot of shit underneath but not too much real big. It's about scheme baby. That missed fg I had hurt like a mfer and put you in position to win. I woulda really felt like shit if you had won after that. Yeah, you did get a lil greedy there at the end. I was gonna give you the run. I'll go into over time lol. I jsut didn't wanna give you the win...........in regulation at least lol. As usual good game. I'll see you again in a few weeks in Atlanta.

Everybody, I'll do my write up later on tonight at work. I gotta get ready right now.

Yah give all your corners steroids. I've never seen so many jumped routes in my life.

You know some funny shit? When I came out in 5 wides, I knew you were looking for the QB run. I threw it on purpose the first time to catch you off guard. The second time I knew you might still be looking for it, but there was so much space in the middle lol. I couldn't help but run it. Just like I thought, you were looking for it and closed that space quick lol. You're crazy with the stick skills. I had to test your nuts though. See where ya head was at lol. After the play I was like fuck!!! The game was intense as fuck. My son crawled in while I was playing and I yelled at my wife to come and get him. I didn't realize how intense I was until after the game was over. My wife said that when my son crawled into the room I was yelling "Get Jayme!! Keep him out of here!! Keep him out of here!!" lol.

My defense just doesn't force turnovers. At all. I was #1 in the nation and I had a negative turnover ratio...and before this game I had only thrown 6 interceptions. That was the difference again your guys made some big plays.

How crazy was that pass to Green the play before the final pick? I thought he had it, then I thought your guy was gonna get it, then I thought my other receiver coming in might grab it.

Yah I threw too many picks, didn't run enough, got unlucky with that kick return that I ran into my own guy or I woulda had 6. Never should have had a chance at overtime though, 1st down on my 3 with no timeouts and only like 40 seconds left, don't know how I even got into field goal range. Looking forward to the rematch.

What are we looking like for advance? Who all is left?

Damn, that glitch is fucking you up. Are you doing something crazy or something. I've played almost 3 full seasons between workers and rivals and I've never seen that. I read about it happening to other people, but I've never seen it myself.

nothing crazy, and it was a G, which I need, so that whole thing about being too loaded at a position some ppl say just isnt true

Patch 3 Info and LTP(Live Tuner Pack) 3 Info:

Summary:

Title Update 3 (TU3)

- The pump fake exploit was resolved. The entire defense will no longer rush the QB after a pump fake.
- Resolved an issue with setting SS/ FS to QB Spy and then blitzing, virtually unblocked.
- Increased the Overall rating for incoming freshman. This resulted in one and two star freshman coming in at a higher overall rating.
- In Season Progression is back! Players once again have the ability to get a slight boost to their ratings during the season.
- There was an issue with Hawaii's home schedule causing conflicts with particular teams. This has been resolved. In particular, teams in the Pac 10 and the WAC will now have the correct number of conference games.
- Resolved an issue with the Rush Defense slider where they were only impacting defensive line special moves. They have been adjusted to also impact win/loss chances for blocking.

Live Tuning Pack 3 (LTP3)

- Kick Power/Kick Accuracy progression for Kickers and Punters was adjusted to be in line with the new incoming freshmen. Kickers and punters will now progress in line with other players, but will start with a higher average overall due to the improved recruit ratings in the patch.
- Increased Awareness progression for all positions.
- Increased progression slightly for Elusiveness, Spin Move, and Juke Move for Wide Receivers.
- Increased progression of the Tackle rating for Corner Backs to be in line with WR skill ratings (Juke, Spin, and Elusiveness).
- Reduced the frequency of defenders successfully jumping the snap. Also adjusted how frequently they would jump early when the offense performed a fake snap.
- Tuned Man Coverage so defenders will not jump in front of routes so early. They will still jump the route, but not as early, or frequently, as before.
- Adjusted in season progression to be in line with higher rated incoming freshmen.
- Tuned Incoming freshman to better match the spread on the default rosters.
- Tuned team prestige progression to be in line with the changes to incoming freshmen.

This means that I'm gonna have to redo sliders.....again!!! **sigh** Hopefully this works better than the last one lol.

At least they are making changes and pretty good ones at that

What's goin on guys? Nobody's talkin anymore or anything. Splff you haven't updated the front page for a long ass time. I wanna know who's the frontrunner for the Heisman within having to be on my PS3 lol. But really its still on like week 5. Maybe its been just a couple of down nights or people have been busy, if so thats cool. It's just we used to have a lot more interaction, that makes it a lot more fun.

And Clark earlier you were complaining about maybe having to wait to advance in rivals because I wasnt gonna play till later. But you havent even played your game in workers. I know you're not doing as well with Arkansas this season but you shouldn't just not give a shit. We're all going to have bad years, and you're in a really tough conference with 4 users now, that's tough. But dont just basically quit on us because you dont have Bama and aren't able to rape every team.

I know people are busy and have shit going on, and I know we just advanced last night, so I'm not calling anybody out and saying they should've got their game in tonight or anything. I just think we need to get some more enthusiasm back into our dynasties. The season is almost over, the third and probably final patch will be out on tuesday and the next year, the true start of our dynasties as they will reflect changes we've made and the players we recruited, is almost here. This is all cause for excitement. Be siked about the future of your program, I know I am!

**In monotone voice** "Yeah!" lol relax man. It's a friday night. Some people might be out getting drunk or out getting some. Some people might be in getting drunk or in getting some lol. And some people are at work all night lol. I haven't updated the 2nd post because I'm gonna do something different with it. I hope to have it done by the time we start next season. That's when I'll really get back to doing week writeups, and stuff like that, that I was doing before. What I'm gonna do is have something similar to the 2nd post on the home page like Rivals was for a lil while. I still haven't sat down with it good yet.

Anyway, as you have found out, there are lulls here and there. That's not really a problem. The problem comes when the lull lasts for days.

I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I just advanced and Breon and DDA got their shit simmed. Hell DDA aint been on PSN in 3 days. Fuck that!! If he aint on by the next advance time he's out. I don't know what's up with VA Mfers lol. First it's kid and pops and now its DDA. Must be something in the water lol. As for Breon, I don't know what's up with him either. It showed that he had been on 3 hrs earlier when I got home this morning but his game wasn't done in Rivals or Workers. Anyway, looks like it's time to pull out the disregard list. Anyway......
