One size fits most

7/20/2010 3:08:45 PM

story up

7/20/2010 3:21:12 PM

Advance without a story from Iowa. I may not be home until late tonight to do one.

7/20/2010 4:05:10 PM

Easy with the profanity in the stories

It just shows up as ***** and looks ametuerish

7/20/2010 4:58:26 PM

haha i like how pretty much everyone in the league put something different in the 'Platform Title' field when you're doing the Storybuilder...if you go to Online Dynasty and look at the news stories from your 360 instead of your computer you can see them all

7/20/2010 5:55:06 PM

Advance without michigan story also. i dont have time to do this petty stuff. i like meat and potatoes for gameplay not story writing.

7/20/2010 6:04:06 PM

meh, takes like 40 seconds from teh website

7/20/2010 6:05:17 PM

Hey asshole thats part of it

You can't have one without the other

Otherwise its just a bunch of random games vs each other



I'll give you a break this time because we need to get going, but moving forward you'll be expected to do a weekly update, or face the consequences

7/20/2010 6:05:37 PM

its not here yet so I doubt its coming today... do whatever you want to do

7/20/2010 6:16:55 PM

League is advanced

Michigan State and Oregon State miss out on the Challenge since I couldn't edit their schedules


Week 1

Wisconsin @ UNLV
Kent State @ Penn State
California @ Nevada
New Mexico @ Oregon
Uconn @ Michigan
Washington @ Iowa
Stanford vs Wake
Ohio State vs Marshal


Lets aim to get these knocked out in the next 48 hours, along with the recaps on the league site.

Recaps are not optional.

ha I had no idea what that field was for

It looks like we made the same guess

[Edited on July 20, 2010 at 6:39 PM. Reason : My story is blocked from the console Dynasty Wire. I guess I'll clean it up from here on out.]

7/20/2010 6:36:58 PM

looks like we all guessed

also i'm taking this post to officially call out kent state

i can't wait to see their bitch ass golden flashes crying when i take them out

7/20/2010 6:39:05 PM

Goddammit I forgot to turn off the recruiting helpers

Now my board is full of a bunch of jerks

7/20/2010 6:40:37 PM

i wonder if it will let you put stuff like "f**k"

7/20/2010 6:42:22 PM

Yeah, I went back and changed ************ to m**********r so Slave wouldn't think I was calling him a n*****r.

Just locked up my first recruit. tOSU is A+ or A in every pitch.

7/20/2010 6:55:41 PM

the website has plenty of new stuff up because of the week change

7/20/2010 6:57:25 PM

Struggled with UNLV but got the W

Clay was on full beast mode

I'll do the recap and recruiting tomorrow

7/20/2010 7:22:28 PM

Halo: when you wanna knock our game out?

7/20/2010 7:27:04 PM

might not even come into play, but does the 35+ points rule / running up the score thing apply to CPU games or only user-user games?

cause i mean i'm just trying to do my part to win the Big Ten a Heisman

nothing else matters

7/20/2010 7:27:07 PM

Just keep it within reason

Blowing out a shit team 56-7 is one thing

84-0 is another

7/20/2010 7:28:06 PM

I can do tonight or tomorrow night. Would prefer tonight. Any specific times?

7/20/2010 7:49:00 PM

tonite would work better for me, say 11?

7/20/2010 8:03:02 PM

i hope both your teams sustain injuries to key players good luck to both of you

7/20/2010 8:07:47 PM

11 or thereabouts will work

7/20/2010 8:49:29 PM

o damn

There a bunch of blank game stories with pics up on the dynasty site

7/20/2010 8:51:42 PM

i saved 2 videos, one of a special teams touchdown, the other of a nice TFL

im editing my title, body, etc of the story for my own since the highlights are already linked

[Edited on July 20, 2010 at 8:56 PM. Reason : .]

7/20/2010 8:54:24 PM

Stanford grinds one out over Wake 28-7, story posted.

7/20/2010 8:58:54 PM

I thought Tree's first video was a kick return for a TD. I was like "man, I haven't seen a single one of those yet." Then I saw it was a fumble returned for a TD and I was like "man, I've seen way too many of those."

I intercepted another option pitch against Marshall. No TD this time, though.

7/20/2010 9:18:58 PM

yea I returned a few KO for TD's in the demo but it seems that has been tuned down

7/20/2010 9:20:56 PM

I didn't realize you could view all the videos and pictures online like that

I'll start saving a few replays each game now

Before I was only saving the really crazy plays

7/20/2010 9:24:06 PM

Yeah, I didn't realize that either. I was going to save a replay where my backup HB fumbled hurdling over the ref into the endzone, but the ref disappeared when I went to the replay.

7/20/2010 9:30:23 PM

Whoever is Stanford...nice write up, but you can just edit the existing story that's auto generated with your own text and body.

That way there's not two separate recaps for the same game.

I'm just learning all this too, by the way...we didn't have any of this online stuff last year.

Im on now halo if you wanna knock the game out

7/20/2010 10:19:24 PM

Washington travel to Kinnick Stadium and squeek out a tough 7 point win largely off of WR Kearse and a timely redzone pick 6 in the 3rd quarter

gg though Halo

Way to represent your conference, Halo

[Edited on July 21, 2010 at 12:04 AM. Reason : x]

7/21/2010 12:04:37 AM

yeah, that game fucking blew

7/21/2010 12:14:07 AM

By the way, the **** in mine is rape

Kinda dumb they won't let you put rape if you're using it in the literal sense, not the figurative one




By the way, I'm loving this online aspect

Makes it feel almost like real games

In years past we were just relying on people's text recaps in this thread

This is a million times better

I'm excited about joining. USC is disappointed that it has been put on probation for the first half of the season, but the punishment is understandable.

With that said, my XBox repair is "complete" according to its support Web site and I'm assuming it will be shipped back soon. The sanctions shall be lifted soon enough.

7/21/2010 11:09:09 AM

I'm kind of frustrated the stories appear not to update on the XBox after you edit them online. I tried to edit the Stanford game recap and delete the old story but I don't think that took. At least I know for future game recaps.

7/21/2010 11:16:34 AM

I figure most people will be doing the bulk of thier league business via computer anyway.

We spend 10 hours a day on a PC and only 1 or 2 on xbox.

Most of us anyway.

7/21/2010 11:18:34 AM

I was going to do my week 1 recruiting last night while taking a dump, but I had had a few issues with the site automatically refreshing (I guess since its still a Beta) so I didn't want to accidentally hang up on a recruit or something just in case the website platform fucked up

Also I don't think you could re-order recruiting rankings on the website, but I'm not sure, I only briefly looked at it

7/21/2010 11:21:02 AM

I was going to do my recap, but I guess you can't view the stats online until we advance?

That sucks, I was going to be fined by the B10 for calling Marshall the Thundering Turd.

7/21/2010 12:34:54 PM

You can view stats of games that dynasty teams have played on your 360, ie the tOSU Marshall game

You just can't view any standings, stat leaders, etc until advancing a week, and you can't view anything more than a box score on the website

7/21/2010 1:05:07 PM

Cal is the only one who hasn't played yet

If they can play tonight, we can advance again

7/21/2010 1:44:50 PM

We'll have to see what time Jack gets off the links

7/21/2010 1:57:00 PM

we going to do a standard twice a week advance or just whenever we can?

7/21/2010 1:57:41 PM

At least twice a week...the first few games always go quickly since most people are playing the CPU

When we start to get more user/user games, it will slow to every 3 days or so as people try to find an agreeable time to meet up

7/21/2010 1:59:48 PM

Even though I haven't started, I think a regular schedule would be nice. Something like Wednesday and Sunday (or some other random combination)?
