  1. Fwiw, Cormani McClain is on social media making fun of the athlon article and calling it total bullshit. Which is weird because it was the first bit of media I’ve ever seen that made him out to be a sympathetic character.
  2. Yankees fan just checking in on Caleb Ferguson… how’s he doing so far? We really miss him in the Bronx.
  3. Recruiting is nonsensical too. Honestly the more I play this game the more I dislike it. You have to take off any pitches that would take you over the 50-65 minutes when accounting for the 40 minutes to schedule a visit. I think once visit is scheduled you can send the house again. Also schedule visits as early as possible to try and get earlier commitments and free up more recruiting hours. Don’t wait until a bigger game late in the season
  4. Consensus seems to be to not touch custom conferences because that completely fucks up everything. Which is annoying. I’m still in year 1 of my Texas dynasty. I used to like to build up the coaching skill tree at Texas for a few seasons and then leave to rebuild whatever the worst school at that time is, but apparently there’s been an issue where if you sign an extension your contract gets auto renewed every season and you can’t leave. Hoping I don’t run into that.
  5. A lot of people online are saying dynasty just falls apart 5 years in or so. I’ve seen screenshots of playoff teams with 4-1 records because they schedule glitched to 8 bye weeks, and that position changes don’t hold once the season starts sometimes.
  6. Florida is my second favorite team so I watch a lot of their games. The only thing Mertz does well is not egregiously fuck up. He doesn’t take risks and he’s not a guy I want if the game is on the line and we need plays made.
  7. Counterpoint: That QB is Graham Mertz.
  8. Imagine being a man and caring about who the greatest gymnast of all time is.
  9. So the entire betting world agrees with me except whatever bet365 is? That isn’t the burn you think it is.
  10. Niblack & Bond are absolute weapons in EA CFB 25.
  11. Damn I hadn’t heard about that. I think the biggest names were Lopez going from Vela to PSJA, and that LaFevre kid going from Donna to Vela. I heard that QB Ruiz left edinburg North but I’m not sure where he ended up.
  12. He’s gotten into a lucky streak. Big whoop. Oh yeah.. The Yankees were (literally) the worst team in baseball for almost 2 months, and you guys used that window to open up a gigantic 0.0 game lead in the standings. Congrats.
  13. I don’t drink tea. Their fried chicken is the only thing that’s decent. The fries are good but they literally only give you about 4, and the BBQ is inedible.
  14. First day of workouts for anyone that didn’t have spring ball. I don’t get the point of spring practice in high school. My school was mostly poor students, we didn’t do it and they still don’t today because so many players had to work after school. But more importantly than that in high school a lot of players & coaches move in the summer anyway. I’d rather have the extra week in august.
  15. Bill Millers is fucking terrible
  16. Saw it yesterday. It was decent. X-23 has uh, grown up. Cool seeing Blade in it too. The whole overly sarcastic/self-aware humor just does nothing for me, I didn’t think it was funny beyond a couple of chuckles here and there.
  17. He’s pretty lined up on the plate. Camera angle isn’t dead on. If you look at the comments there’s a reason hardly anyone is flaming him. If you know ball you know that call isn’t on the umpire.
  18. Have to side with Beau here. The pitcher missed his spot horrendously and the catcher didn’t even try framing it. That’s on them.
  19. Judge hits #41. If he stays healthy over the next 2 months… who knows
  20. It was horrible. I deleted that one and made myself a QB as an “elite”, or 4 star, recruit. Only school that was a “fit” (the game logic on that also makes no sense) and wanted me as a starter was UTEP. Felt almost racist but whatever. My sophomore year I lead us to a 16-1 record, win the fucking CFP, and finished 3rd in the heisman voting. Junior year, we must have attracted some awesome recruits and I get tons of preseason hype right? Nope. Preseason we’re unranked (never mind we returned a majority of starters), all the incoming freshmen are garbage, stands are as empty as ever, and I’m not even on the heisman watchlist. Also half my team including me has pure blank white helmets no matter what helmet I choose pregame, while the other half has the correct helmets. Whole game just feels not finished.
  21. Whenever I’m looking to commit crimes, I always take no equipment, no bag, and no vehicle. All I take is my 6 year old son and his bright red light toy to maximize stealth. Kudos to the Watonga police for being vigilant.
  22. After a couple weeks of playing I’d rate this game a B-. Gameplay is decent for the most part. Still buggy. Dynasty & RTG, which I was looking forward to the most, suck ass. RTG especially (I have max coach trust and still can’t audible?). The whole skill points thing is dumb, you get quizzed over a playbook you haven’t had a chance to see, etc. I tried one as a HB, at “contributor” which was a huge mistake. I got 1 play my first season. At least I redshirted, right? Nope. My “downs played” was 5 downs on the year, in 5 different games. Redshirt burned. I simmed 0 games and was definitely only on the field 1 down. My theory is I was randomly on the field as like a gunner on special teams or something (the game doesn’t allow you to play special teams plays in RTG). Frustrating. Want to see who won the National title 2 years ago on dynasty? Impossible with this game. Want to see the stats of guys in the heisman race? Through a cumbersome process you can, instead of the ease with which you could do that in 14. And the whole inability to edit jersey #’s of game-generated players is infuriating. One season my starting LG & QB were both #9. Not immersive at all.
  23. I thought the US brought their U23 squad and everyone else brought their normal best squad. Looks like everyone brought U23 though. How the fuck did the US lose that bad
  24. Like 60% of Olympic “sports” shouldn’t be sports. Much less in the Olympics
  25. They’re both on very successful runs, they play in the state title games almost every year, and they’ve got the reputation of putting kids into college & the NFL. It’s more kids just wanting to play for them, I don’t think they’re paying anyone. And they both have middle class and nice areas in their boundaries, so it’s easy to get people to move there.
