At this time there are usually just a few games left and if guys would do this it would help others start scheduling their upcoming games and get shit rolling more smoothly.

Also doesn't help if your the last game and you don't bother trying to setup a game till a couple days later. Gotta be aware of the what the advance is looking like and go ahead and get your next game setup.

Sadly TJ, the people that need to read this probably will never see it because they don't come to the site enough.

Just want the record to show I made an attempt, as well as contacting the Ravens through PSN. He told me I might have to play CPU. If he can play today between 9pm-12am I can play. Im available tomorrow as well after 6. If he tells me that I have to play CPU, the game will be done tomorrow

Text his ass and find out. If he's saying play the CPU that leave 2 cpu games and 1 user. As far as I know, 2 of those will be played today (BC/12, Ho/CPU). Find out now what the verdict is and play the CPU tonight if you have to. No reason to wait till 3rd day for a CPU game.

text me when you can go. I am fairly free this weekend

Yeah Browns, if he can't play tonight let me know so I can put him on auto and play the CPU tonight. If bc/12 gets played tonight, we are advancing tonight. So I'll advance tonight right after you and ho finish your CPU games.

The last o remember it wad already in the 4th i think... fuck you with the no class shit btw. When have i ever did some shit like that on purpose.. I don't mind losing.

Thanks for letting us know kid. I went ahead and put you on auto to let ho play the CPU. No more falling asleep while playing though; pop a caffeine pill or something lol.

WTF? Slick quit? Not before making a big ass trade tho. Hence the reason I had this rule about new users waiting to do trades.

- New users cannot trade for 8 weeks or until the end of the season, whichever happens first.

Oh well.

Hey Hawk, might wanna see if Drew wants the Rams now since he has STL in his name lol.

TJ, in the chatbox, I saw you wondering why I only ran a few times in my game against Marco. It's because that mfer got off to a 31-7 lead lol. I don't quit tho. I PLAY....... TO WIN........ THE GAME!!! I also saw you insinuate that I did it to prove my sliders worked better. Umm no. The QB Acc slider wasn't touched and if anything I fucked myself up because I took the reins off of Pryor and he threw 4 ints. Just wanted to clarify for you. No need to speculate. Just ask me.

Splff, would Slick have counted as a new user tho? I thought he was with us when we wrapped things up last year.

so does my trade with lions 4 suh get vetoed now since no trades for newbies? n i might take rams now...what players were traded from rams?thanks

Honestly, EA fucked us pretty good. We can be upset that that assface who took the Giants signed those mega-extensions and that Slick made whatever trade he did before he quit, but EA has handicapped any online leagues. It's ridiculous.

Drew, if the trade was okay before Slick quit, then I don't think him quitting changes that - it's not your fault he did that. The only way I would say it should be vetoed is if you end up switching teams, but ultimately it'll be up to hawk.

I did tell him that I don't think we can at first, but later changed it once I saw the yes vote on the other trade. I'm not complaining because I got a sweet as deal, IMO, in the trade. I need to reiterate, I'm not complaining. I'd be lying if I said it didn't kinda irk me to see guys come in and make all these moves then quit. If that's hawk's decision tho then I'm definitely cool with that. I think he's doing a damn good job and I'm pretty excited about going forward, especially since I know that bullshit like the Hardee shit doesn't fall on my shoulders now. I was more or less just showing my reasoning on why I had that rule in the first place because a lot of people, yourself included shock, didn't like that rule when I proposed it.

Drew, I think your trade is ok if it's already approved or if it's already getting voted on. It's not my call, but I doubt Hawk would go back and take all trades off the table for the new guys that are already in. If you wanted to switch teams tho that may be different if the trade isn't approved. The trade may be voided in that case. Ultimately hawk will have the final decision tho. BTW, me and slick's trade was:

Rams received:

HB Darren Mcfadden
CB Chimdi Chekwa


Raiders received:

2013 1st draft pick
2014 2nd draft pick
DT Michael Brockers

I didn't mean anything by it, I was just pointing out that for myself personally, I wouldn't have considered him new no matter what the rule would have been.

Either way, unless EA patches in greater commish control, I feel like we might be in for a hell of a ride this year.

Maybe. Once we get a good stable of users I think everything will be fine. If we're constantly changing out users tho, then yeah shit could be wild lol.

so i would have dmac and sjax....but not 1st....il take rams thn...how do i switch?wats rams record?

I think Rams are 0-3 right now.

Also just curious hawk, did slick give a reason for quitting or did he just retire?

So if Jags switches to Rams then Joey is essentially getting a free pick from a CPU team...? Hawk...

PUT YO DAMN COMMISH HAT ON

Chuck put himself on autopilot, gonna play the game when I get home from work.

Nah he was a total newbie who came in at the end talked a bunch of shit and quit after a couple losses. Basically the same shit he did here

drew-73-stl wrote:so i would have dmac and sjax....but not 1st....il take rams thn...how do i switch?wats rams record?

I believe the rams have TWO firsts this yr and next yr due to the RG3 trade

So BC/12 kicking off soon, Ho and Browns have CPU games, looking like were advance sometimes tonight.

So..... schedules your Wk 5 shit fools. sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn sahn
