RTTS Update (Those Damn Walks)

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

I put together a decent run at my first set of goals, but my plate discipline sucks, which is really a generous description. I started off on the bench, but after one of the starting pitchers went on the DL, I was promoted to the starting lineup as the Macon Braves CF. Not […]

MLB 08 The Show - RTTS Fun

Saturday, April 5th, 2008 at 6:24 am

To be young again. Thanks to MLB 08, a 21 year old me is trying to make the Atlanta Braves as a CF. I also picked 1B/3B for my secondary positions. The game, and in particular Road To The Show mode, is extremely addicting. Unfortunately I made a couple of mistakes.
While […]

NCAA Chronicles 2007 (Season 1, Week 2)

Sunday, August 13th, 2006 at 7:40 pm

Part 1 of (2 or 3). A couple of quick housekeeping items. First, in order to get in more subs, I changed my controller settings to 45 for sub out, and 85 for sub in, but this seems to have little effect. I changed the game to All American, 6-minute quarters. I have decided to follow any recommended discipline recommendations, but I am going to track each player; three strikes and they are out. I am not going to put up with crap at my schools.

North Texas LogoThis was one of the best NCAA Football games I have played in recent memory, and absolutely the best I have played with the 2007 version. I hope the new settings are going to be golden.

This game earned the #1 ESPN Classic rating (622 pts). North Texas was two by two touchdowns at the start of the 4th quarter, but battled back, finally pulling even with 14 seconds left. SMU won the toss in OT, and elected to go on defense. North Texas drove on two rushing TDs to take their first led of the game since their opening drive of the 1st quarter. SMU’s offense was stopped on four consecutive plays, earning North Texas a hard fought victory. 

               1st   2nd   3rd   4th   OT   |  Final
SMU            14    14    7     0     0    |  35
North Texas    14    7     0     14    7    |  42

I did not plan to go into tons of detail with my three dynasties this year, but this game was so fun, so even, that I have to post the goodness for all to read.

Dynasties Away…

Saturday, August 12th, 2006 at 9:35 pm

I finally decided to start a NCAA Football 2007 dynasty, but I am going to do things different this year. I doubt I will do any sort of major chronicle of my exploits. Not that the chronicle reports are no longer fun, but I am always pressed for time, so better to spend […]

Navy (#71) 14 - Tulsa (#74) 19 (NCAA Chronicles 2005, Season 1, Week 4)

Saturday, October 16th, 2004 at 3:09 pm

This is the game that may have driven me to the breaking point with NCAA Football 2005. I have not picked up the game since because of the ridiculous QB sack issue – see a NCAA Football 2005 - QB Sacks (and Cheating AI) for more info. At this point I am […]

Northeastern 14 - Navy (#78) 31 (NCAA Chronicles 2005, Season 1, Week 3)

Thursday, September 16th, 2004 at 3:35 pm

Another week, another infraction to take care of; this time CB #23 was recommended for a 3 game suspension due to academic infractions (bad grades). I said the heck with that - this is Navy, so I only suspended the guy for a quarter.
I did not know what to expect with Northeastern. I […]

Duke (#94) 14 - Navy (#88) 24 (NCAA Chronicles 2005, Season 1, Week 2)

Thursday, September 16th, 2004 at 8:29 am

First let me get the preliminary stuff out of the way. I decided to go with Navy because in all my years of NCAA Football I have never played with them so Navy should be a fresh experience. Second, I like the idea of an independent school - I am not tied to […]
