Sim Kings (PS3) (Random Teams)

[DEFTFUNDAMENTALZ]

What's up PS3 APF Gamers! It's Tretch (AKA DEFTFUNDAMENTALZ) again with an attempt to start a new Sim Style League for the PS3. I learned much from my former foibles in starting a league. So, this time there will be no draft like we tried last time, instead we will do Random Teams. What is that you ask? All you need to do is create a team, and instead of picking the actual players, on the pick screen just hit the start button, and the CPU will pick a random team for you. I think this is the best way to have differing teams, and it will force most of us to use different lineups. If you want to be in this league just post your PSN ID in this thread, and I will send you an invite that you can access on the APF 2K8 online menu, just check invitations. Here is the settings for this league.

All Pro Difficulty with Fumbles and Interceptions turned up to 100
7 Minute Quarters
16 Games
8 Teams
4 Will Make the Playoffs
Flex Schedule (Meaning you can play in any order you wish)

Let's get it started!

I'm in, bro. That would be fun. I've taken random teams online and would love the challenge of trying to win with one. Of course, we'd have to trust that everyone actually picked a random team. No way to police that. Even so, I'll keep my word, and I'm game. Still loving this game!

Somehow, I knew you would be the first to respond Trojan Man. I hope that this league gets filled out quick. It should there is no draft this time so shouldn't be much of a problem.

That's right, we will just have to trust everyone. But, if someone has Dan Marino and Jerry Rice...

Or Randall and Coates and Maynard Man, I still love this game. I just put Joe Perry on a team and am enjoying experimenting with him. My two favorite fullbacks on the game so far are Ickey and Hoge, but I'm still learning how to use Perry. Hoge is sneaky--nobody ever expects him, but he makes plays in the running game and the passing game. Woods can be downright sick, and he's a good blocker. I hope I land at least one of them

True, there are many underused players that are very good in this game. I sent you an invite already. My Gold (Random Picks) were Warren Moon and Ronnie Lott...But the rest will leave me with some chalkboard ingenuity

Alright, seeing your post got me stoked. Here's my auto-select team. By the Way, you lucked out with Moon and Lott. Lott speaks for himself. Moon can be great but you have to use him right. HUGE arm. He can be rattled, though, and doesn't always throw well on the move. Just warning you ahead of time. Anyway, here are the cards fate dealt:

G Joe Perry (the odds?! I hope I can figure out how to use him)
G Dave Wilcox

S L.C. Greenwood
S Billy Simms
S Greg Lloyd

B John Taylor
B John Brodie
B Charlie Waters
B Wesley Walker
B Solomon Wilcots
B Eric Green

I thought it would turn out a lot worse than that. I've never used Simms or Greenwood before, but I've had the rest on teams at one point or another and liked them all in one way or another. I actually don't like Taylor, though, now that I think of it--he drops a lot of balls for me. And Brodie's delivery is long as hell. I'm surprised they didn't give me any OL. That's probably going to be a problem. C'est la vie. Post the rest of your team--I'm curious to see what you got dealt.

Ladies and Gentlemen, get on your feet, for your.......Oakland Onslaught!!!!

(Roaring/Hooting/Pulsating Rhythms)

At QB...Warren Mooooooon!
At FS, ...Ronnie "Sir Hits a" Lott!

At the glamor position, well not really, at Tackle, Richmond Webb!
At Defensive End, Jack Youngblood!
At Strong Safety, Dick Anderson!

As hard nosed as they come, at Fullback, Tom Rathman!
Playing Center, Shaquile O' Neal, oh my bad its.......Bill Curry!
Out of the backfield at Halfback, Dave Meggett!
One of the most clutch receivers in NFL History, Dwight "The Catch" Clark!
Also at wide receiver, always quick on his feet....Wesley Walker!
And Finally at Outside Linebacker......Lamar Lathon!

I am happy that I landed two decent receivers, my secondary is very strong, my corners are all generic so that should be an area of concern. But teams will have a hard life if they go to the middle of the field. I will have to utilize Rathman for sure to help Meggett out on offense. Should be an interesting team to play around with.

I really like your team--I have to say I'm a little jealous. Webb will shut Greenwood down. Anderson is a great, great player, and Lathon will surprise you. He hits hard, though he's not the fastest guy around. Bill curry should help. I hate that you got Clark. That f-er always hurts me when I play him. Grrr!

It's on!

Okay, gloating is unbecoming . I really want to see what Youngblood can do--he's one of the few players on the game that I've never used. You have great balance on that squad--I'm gameplanning already . . .
