The Rock M Nation Online Dynasty

PrintLet's create a Rock M Nation Online Dynasty in NCAA Football 2011. I have the 360 version so the one I'll create will be for that version. If someone wants to do a PS3 version, please sign up in comments and I'll update this fan post.
Online Dynasty is now created! We're taking over the ACC btw.
Dynasty name is Rockmnation
Password is bdsmith
Decision #1: One conference or Free For All
I'm advocating that none of us play as Mizzou. Even replacing other teams with Mizzou clones would not be very satisfying for me.
Related though is whether we should all play in one conference and therefore frequently play against each other or pick whatever schools we want and play if we happen to run into each other during the season/bowl games.
Question #2: Leave things as they are or create the Rock M Conference?
We could also just pick whatever schools we want and blow up college football and create the Rock M Conference.
Thoughts?
Question #3: Difficulty level?
I'd argue All-American is a good basic difficulty level. If people want to pitch it up or down, please state in comments.
Question #4: Length of quarters?
I think 5 minute quarters make sense.
Question #5: How often we advance the dynasty?
I'd like this to be close to real time league, meaning I advance the league every Sunday. So everyone will have to have played their games for the week by then.
Question#6: A teams or no?
Should we ban teams with A ratings like Alabama, Florida, USC, etc?
Now it's your turn:
In comments, state your gamertag, your preference for the five questions and your team preference. I'll update the fanpost as we go.

Rock M Conference would be fun.
Q1: One conference, but mix the teams around so we can all choose who we want.
Q2: Rock M Conference
Q3: AA for sure. Varsity for recruiting, though. I’ve heard AA/Heisman is impossible.
Q4: I don’t have the game yet, but for the past few games I’ve done 7 minute quarters
Q5: Weekly, especially if we’re all in the same conference.
I’d also be down for no A teams.
Teams:
First: Iowa
Second: Pitt
Making you feel old since 9/26/09
No A teams?
What does that mean? Like no Ohio State or Florida?
by mizzousundevil on Jul 14, 2010 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions
The ratings.
Alabama is A+, Florida is either A or A-, so on and so forth.
Making you feel old since 9/26/09
That makes sense.
I think of the star ratings more than the overall team ratings from season to season.
But sure we can throw that in there as something to add to the thread.

I was thinking of officially starting the league this weekend
as in creating it and letting people join and the like. I’m hoping we get enough responses so I have a good idea of how the settings should be applied.
As for when we start playing games….
I’ll leave that decision to once we have an official list of who’s in or not cause schedules will change depending on that.

hmmmm
i haven’t got the game yet (might get it tomorrow), but my Xbox is missing a cord right now and I might not have it until I get back to Columbia in August. I bet I’d be able to improvise, but it would be tough. I guess I’ll be your backup f you guys need someone else.
1st Option: UCLA
2nd Option: Michigan

5: Weekly is good
Team Preference
1 – Tennessee
2 – Miami
Gonna shoot you a FR tonight CopperPlatypus
I’m eating a new stew from Glenn’s Cafe right now…pretty good stuff. Anyways…
Picking the game up Friday night before I take in a movie with my lady (anyone have a suggestion as to what movie we should see?).
Q1: Conference…I don’t really like playing against people I don’t know, never have.
Q2: Blow it up and create the Rock M Conference
Q3: All-American…I think Heisman is good for people who are very familiar with the game. That’s usually what I force my friends to play on. Not as many catch-up plays.
Q4: I really like 6 minute quarters, though if I’m up against someone a bit better than decent I like 8. 7 may be a good number.
Q5: Every week sounds great.
Q6: I can go either way with this one…if I know my team well enough and they’re (I got that correct Andy! they are) fairly close in ratings, say an A- vs. a B-, I would feel pretty good about my chances. What about nothing more than A-?
I can live with whatever you guys figure out, I just want to be apart of it.

a slight change
Going to pick up the game and catch a movie tomorrow night.

one more reply
Once I pick up the game tomorrow I will look through the teams and offer up which teams I’m interested in playing as.
by achillbreeze on Jul 14, 2010 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions
Sounds good
It doesn’t look like we have any overlap on teams we want so that’s good.

Team...
I’m going to try both teams but from looking things over my teams would be North Carolina or Clemson, assuming 4-stars are ok. I think most teams put forth are.
by achillbreeze on Jul 16, 2010 2:24 AM CDT up reply actions
ok NC may not work…Clemson looks good…How about Ole Miss…yeah, Ole Miss.
by achillbreeze on Jul 16, 2010 2:28 AM CDT up reply actions
I'd love to join.
But I haven’t gotten the game yet. Mizzou likes to take all of my available money. But I should have it in a week or less.

that's ok
I imagine it will take some time to set up. the League will be open for adding people this weekend. We’ll figure out when to get going after that.

if theres a ps3 league i'm in.
assuming I can find the $$$ for the game
Great Odin's Raven I love Mike "The Predator" Dixon!
PS3
I would be down for a PS3 version as well.
I'll play
Gamertag is ZouDave.
1 – Free for All
2 – Don’t care either way
3 – All-American
4 – 5 or 6 minutes
5 – Depends on how active we are. Twice weekly is fair, going once a week means it’s going to take roughly 14-16 real life weeks to finish one season. That means you’re looking at like the regular season IRL before we finish year one. I just don’t think that’s fast enough and I think you’ll have people losing interest. I’ve been in enough of these that you need to keep it moving if you want people to stay with it. I’d say try to advance every Wednesday night and Sunday night (or sooner if we’re all done sooner) with special consideration given to weeks when you have user vs user games or if someone reports that they’ll be out of town for an extended period of time.
6 – I’d say try for teams that aren’t already true powerhouses, otherwise it throws things out of balance. No 6-star prestige teams, nothing above B+ for OVR rating.
First Team Choice: TCU
Second Team Choice: West Virginia
Also...
give me another day tops and I’ll have a good roster for you to download and use. I’ve already downloaded a fully named and edited roster set, but I’m working on getting Mizzou completely updated. I’ll let you know when I have that so you can have a good roster to use for this.
*About TO play....
took me til the next morning…
by achillbreeze on Jul 16, 2010 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions
Roster file is ready
Just go into the Roster Share part of Team Management and download the roster from ZouDave. Fully named roster for all 120 teams and Mizzou is far more accurate as far as depth chart, etc.
Use that roster when creating the Online Dynasty.

Sorry, forgot to post my GamerTag earlier, it’s Keers75.
Do we need to download ZouDave’s roster or is it automatically distributed amongst the league if the commish downloads/chooses it?
Everyone cool with the divisions?
I tried to split it up evenly so we had a good mix of CPU and humans and that the CPUs were relatively even as well.

I must warn you all,
I play a mean defense. In my first season with Mizzou, I only gave up more than 30 points once. I’m looking forward to Sash and Clayborn.
Making you feel old since 9/26/09
You mean...
God bless BHGP.

The 2010 Missouri Football Preview - Coming in August!
I really hope Dynasty Wire doesn't filter that out
Because Tyler Sash is my favorite non-Mizzou player.
Coincidentally, Iowa is my favorite non-Mizzou team.
Making you feel old since 9/26/09
So...
…are we waiting on more people to get the game? We’ve only got 5 confirmed right now. When are we thinking the season will start. Two games a week?
I think we'll start this weekend
When I get home tonight, I’ll make a new fanpost announcing the start of the season. We’ll begin games this weekend and follow the schedule ZouDave suggested.
Each week we’ll advance two weeks in the season. Sunday at 11 p.m. I’ll advance the dynasty and Wednesday at 11 p.m. I’ll advance the second week.
I’m hoping we get a few more people in the dynasty. In the fanpost, I’ll list the people currently in the dynasty and the schedule and anything else people want clarification on.
Hope everyone’s happy with how I’m running things so far.

remember to use the Online Dynasty website as well
that will be a great way to keep everything up-to-date. If everyone will go in and turn on the updates so that the site can email you when it gets advanced, or if you’re the last person we’re waiting on, etc., that will be helpful. Hopefully the schedule won’t be too constricting for people, but the real fun of any dynasty is getting into years 3 and 4 when the programs really start to become “ours”.
So the stories...
…I think I want to parody some of the best-worst fan comments. Don’t know if I’m going to troll every story, but when something I find funny comes to mind please don’t take offense. I’m just making fun of the people who would actually say something like it. This is going to be a lot of fun. FYI the comments have to be kept under 76 characters.
My schedule varies from time to time so when I’m to face something other than a CPU team my opponent and I should hammer something out a few days in advance.
