PS3 National Heisman Sliders Challenge Dynasty - Official Thread

[deadlyCane]

This thread is an update to a previous dynasty thread that is no longer in use. The original thread is referenced here: New PS3 Mature Online Dynasty with AA Sliders Level

Dynasty Overview
This is a PS3 online dynasty for mature players that is sim style (no cheesing - must bench starters in blowouts). It will be using 7-minute quarters HEISMAN sliders posted at the bottom of this thread. Perhaps for someone with average or above average human vs human stick skills (I’m probably terrible though). I’m a working man so I’m thinking something like this would be good for others in a similar situation. We advance every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday during the season and nightly during the off-season.

As for team selection, I want to encourage interaction but don’t want to load us up with too many hum vs hum games as scheduling these only slows down our progress. I would like to aim for 2-3 scheduled hum vs hum games per player per season with 2 being the sweet spot. Maybe one intra-conference and one inter-conference. I also would love to see team representation from all regions of the country but that’s not a priority. The general rule is a maximum of two human teams per conference. For the 12-team superconferences that have two divisions we would have a maximum of one human team per division. Here is our current alignment:

ACC
Atlantic Division = Florida State - BCJC_05 (bcjc05)
Coastal Division = Miami - RuFF_NeXX (deadlyCane)

BIG EAST
Slot 1 = Pittsburgh - JCA313 (jcalexand3)
Slot 2 = South Florida - jlukeraid (jeremyolds2)


BIG TEN
slot 1 = Penn State - MarinerDude (Sean_c)
slot 2 = Michigan - Tyler_Durden7 (Stewart#28)

BIG 12
North Division = Missouri - MofoMagic (badboydrake)
South Division = Baylor - H22APWRD94 (both OS and PSN)

PAC TEN
slot 1 = USC - robbiedizzle (robbiedizzle)
slot 2 = Oregon -bdawkins20 (bdawkins20)

SEC
East Division = Florida - callmechedda (boucher)
West Division = Auburn - Golfer26 (jimuna26)

All other conferences have two open slots each and you can choose any team.


Rosters
I downloaded cdj’s roster from the EA locker. I’ve made some corrections but I think it is basically the opening day rosters. My corrections are mainly a couple teams in the ACC and some spot changers here and there.

Communication
This thread serves as the official league communication. While we encourage using e-mail and the PSN message system as backups, communication in this thread serves as official communication to settle disputes. This includes setting up user games.

Recruiting Rules
a). Each user team is allowed to sign a maximum of eighteen (18) players in any given season. NO EXCEPTIONS (don't even ask - who cares if all your team graduates or leaves early)!!!

b). Of the eighteen (18) maximum players, no more than fourteen (14) of those shall be of 4-star caliber or greater. Alternately worded, the maximum number of 4 and 5 star players combined must total no more than fourteen (14).

c). If a user team goes over the maximum of eighteen (18) total OR the fourteen (14) 4-star plus caliber players, they will be placed on probation for one (1) season. During the probation season (the first season after the violation), the user will lose two (2) overall scholarships and two (2) 4-star plus scholarships for every limit they go over. Refer to the following examples:

Ex.1, the user signs fourteen (14) 4-star plus and twenty (20) overalls in 2009. The user is put on probation and is permitted to sign only ten (10) 4-star plus and fourteen (14) overalls in 2010 (they lose 4 scholarships on each level).

Ex. 2, the user signs fifteen (15) 4-star plus and eighteen (18) overalls in 2009. The user is put on probation and is permitted to sign only twelve (12) 4-star plus and sixteen (16) overalls in 2010.

Ex. 3, the user signs fifteen (15) 4-star plus and twenty (20) overalls in 2009. The user is put on probation and is permitted to sign only eight (8) 4-star plus and fourteen (14) overalls.

d). If a user is on probation, their probation maximums become the numbers on which they are judged to determine whether they've violated the rules a second time. Once they clear the probation period, they go back to the maximum of 14 4-star plus and 18 overalls.

e). - Violation of the scholarship limit a second time, whether it is the regular maximum of eighteen (18), the 4-star plus maximum of fourteen (14) or any of the probation maximums, is grounds for dismissal. At a minimum, it will result in further reduction in scholarship limits for that user, and removal of the excess recruits.

f). In addition to the above described penalties, the Commissioner may also choose which players to cut in order to bring the number of awarded scholarships down to the maximum of eighteen (18) overall or the maximum of fourteen (14) 4-star plus.

[sean_c]

Hey Ricky,

I don't remember how this was addressed. Are we allowed to accept players that want to transfer to us?

Also, in case you guys didn't know. If you accept a player..he won't be able to play until the following season. Which really sucks cause the couple times I had it happen it was at a position I really needed and he was a great player.

Yeah we are allowed.

I'm having an issue with the user to user transfers though. In real life the team the player currently plays for would make certain stipulations. For example, Randy Shannon stipulated that Robert Marve can not transfer to any school in Florida, any ACC school, nor can he transfer to an SEC school. Shannon has since loosened the restrictions. How do you guys feel about not having a user accept transfers from another user? I'm pissed my backup QB, who I gave play time now wants to play for Jimuna26 at Auburn.

Seriously? 7 guys? C'mon! DC-I sent you a pm about the players.

[domdog31]

Hey, I will not being taking my PS3 with me. I would like to keep the two players who decided to go pro and let the transfer go. I have a 4star DT coming in to replace him.

As far as the advancing goes....DC just post anything on this thread which i can check anytime up there.

[jimuna26]

as far as players leaving early, here are some i would like to stay.

Sen'Derrick Marks
Ben Tate
Antonio Coleman
Jerraud Powers

i guess spend about 30 minutes on each of them.

[deadlyCane]

So wait a minute, nobody 'aint saying nothing about players transferring to other user teams? I read about it in other ODs but forgot to bring it up here. Now I'm a victim of this BS.

Jimuna, you can't accept that ingrate named Harris man. I played him to give him some experience and build up his attributes and this is how he pays me back. I would never let him go to a user team. Just for this I'm going to redshirt him and let him rot on my bench.
