  1. Re: playing the computer, yeah it can get in some ways a bit more repetitive but I definitely don’t win every game on Heisman, and really only play Offense in a dynasty. Ideally I’d be playing an online dynasty, but the coordination on that is a challenge. Fifa, much preferred Ultimate Team mode went heavy on the online there.
  2. Looking forward to getting to play the game tomorrow. Have read/heard great things, but disappointed in our roster. No KJ Lacey, Nick Townsend, Bo Barnes, Michael Terry III, Myron Charles, Josiah Sharma, Smith Orogbo, Nick Brooks. Goosby at 82, Vasek/Lance Jackson 78, Jelani McDonald 83. Jonah Williams at Will, Ryan Niblett at CB: changing positions adds a ton of skill caps. As someone who likes to play dynasty to death, the lack of more than half of our class and the ratings and Jonah being out of position lessen some of the fun. Our recruiting class last year really set the team up for success in the future, and the game really shafted us there and it’s not reflected. Not to mention Alabama being a 94 OVR and tied for best roster seems a bit off.
  3. Or just limit it to only 4 stars and below.
  4. Yeah this is really shitty if it comes to fruition. Am/was so excited for Val and the potential for him and Jokic both on the floor at times in the playoffs. Fingers crossed it’s a negotiating tactic to get his 2nd year guaranteed.
  5. Damn it really is crazy to think that Lebron ever since Cleveland has had a cast that makes just about any other NBA star blush.
  6. Would have thought Malone would be better than Brown but I don’t even recall there being discussions between the 2 parties.
  7. Damn, that's all pretty fucked up on Lebron. It's one thing to want an extra $20M out the door when that's something like 20% of your career earnings. For him to be a billionaire and want to rob his team on the way out of 2% of his net worth, that's wild. More of an self-centered asshole than I thought. Ah, ztejas what you're saying makes sense. Make the Lakers pay so his next team is in a better situation.
  8. Didn't he just sign a 1 year deal with them? Wtf. Why wouldn't he just not sign the damn deal? I saw Cavs, Knicks, Mavs and Warriors as most likely landing spots should there a be a breakup by my buddy a Lakers fan. Al Horford, Chris Boucher, Precious Achiuwa. Definitely getting into role player territory.
  9. Incredible. We have the ability to add one more, but pretty sure we’d have to go over the first apron which I think we’re gonna avoid so we don’t get the repeat offender. FO said they wanted perimeter d, shooting and big man depth. After one full day of FA: check, check and check! I picked an excellent fucking time to take over my buddy’s half season ticket for the Nuggs a few months ago.
  10. Just gonna state that working for a company based out of Canada and today being Canada Day with 90% of the office out is really nice for following NBA Free Agency all day. No meetings, NBA TV on the big screen, Reddit, X and surly. LFG Nuggs!
  11. Sims and Turner both on the Bucks is kinda cool. They’ll be easy to root for on the other side of the league.
  12. For the same price as Myles Turner. Raptors hate winning.
  13. Ya when I saw the trade I was sure there had to be more to it, but we don’t have tradeable picks aside from a 2032 2nd, if I’m not mistaken. Couldn’t believe straight swap. So so so glad that Ben Ten Wallace understands the GD assignment.
  14. Crazy how Booth had to give up 3 2nds to offload Reggie Jackson’s 1 year 5 mil deal when Reggie actually played and contributed, albeit not great. Booth really fucked us post ship, GD. Maybe we should thank Booth for his idiotic player option for Saric considering we were able to get Jonas for him haha.
  15. While the Nuggets are getting greedy, may as well ship Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther for Josh Giddey in a sign and trade.
  16. KCP coming back to Denver makes too much sense, but would prefer a decent backup PG that plays at least average perimeter D.
  17. Holy shit Nuggets cooking. Better toward the cap than Yabu at $6M per. Still have powder for another bench contributor.
  18. He really would fit perfectly as he can play the 4 or 5 and well. Bonus if we can sign him for around what he avg the last 2 years with the Celtics, and we still have funds for another bench player.
  19. Here's hoping Chris Boucher or Precious Achiuwa for big depth for the Nuggs. Then we'd still have one last roster spot to go. With Tyus Jones getting scooped up by the Magic, not sure we can do much better than the player the Magic upgraded from, Cole Anthony, but will be interesting to see if the Nuggets can.
  20. LFG!! By my maths and piecing some details together, the Nuggets shaved a little over $17M a year for a similar scorer and better defender. It's the right move to trade away an unprotected 2032 FRP: when you have the best player in the world, you do what you can to win now. I haven't been able to find out details about Bruce Brown's contract, other than the fan's site is stating a minimum deal. If that's the case and should be taken literally, Bruce's 8 years of tenure in the league means we're paying him ~$3.5M. Having almost $14M to sign additional player(s) to get back to where we were with MPJ's contract is massive here (between 1st and 2nd aprons), and that's assuming we're unable to find someone to take on Nnaji's contract. Thank 5lb 9oz baby Tebus that the Nuggets FO gives a shit about winning.
  21. Completely agree. Aside from fumblitis, has potential to me as a guy that can run between the tackles with quickness and a lower center of gravity.
  22. Definitely getting this version as well. All of the games I’ve played on my PS5 combined don’t equal what I put into CFB 25. There are so many gripes about sports video games, but I can’t think of any sports game in the past 15 years that doesn’t have its flaws. Excited for formation subs, dynasty enhancements, not having to hunt for a coach’s face that slightly resembles Sark in dynasty, ratings that are more indicative of the magnitude of impact an elite college player has, etc etc. Reading through Reddit for the new game, it sounds like they fixed many issues the community has been complaining about. I’d argue if you can’t have fun with CFB 25 as a hardcore CFB fan, you don’t like video games. It’s imperfect, but incredibly entertaining.
  23. Agreed. This seems like something relatively easy to fix. This stems from trades not being official on draft night, so it’s the Grizz drafting X, but it’s really Portland’s pick in a handshake agreement that hasn’t been finalized. Seems something Adam Silver could just wave a wand to fix.
  24. Wasn’t too excited about the KJ Edwards news, but if the reality is we’re prioritizing our funds more similar to an NFL salary cap, I’m all for it. I won’t say that our running game last year was perfect, but we were plenty effective at times with our running game with a 3 star in his second year and made the semis. No knock on Quintrevion, as he was a good evaluation and he looks like an NFL player. It makes sense to prioritize elite QB, oline, one or two play making WRs/TEs, pass rushers and run stoppers.
  25. 5 busses for no explicit school, hs or college, but the busses are to be used for “underserved high schools or burgeoning universities”. Was relatively vague about how a school comes to be able to use one of these busses, as I had been able to glean before ads aids.
