PRESEASON WEEK 2 SIM COMPLETE - NEXT SIM THURSDAY

[SoobieTech]

I'm sorry about your issues, Sully. For the record, my last couple exports appear to have worked fine. Hopefully we get this figured out for you Sully.

Well,

We lost. But a bright spot. My rookie kicker boomed a kick from 57 yards. Also early injury from my rookie corner. He was playing well before the injury too. Dammit. Also, I see Dakota made major upgrades with Parrish, Hall and Newsome all on the green page. Great job, Dakota.

I'm impressed with the results even if it is preseason. Randy Richardson definitely disappointed though, but he's always started slow, so hopefully he'll find his groove.

- Mark McKoy might be the real deal as he progresses, 11/14, 94 yards, 2 TDs.
- Warren Poland looks like a good pickup, 6/6, 93 yards, TD.
- Tracy Damon looks like he might fill in for Johnnie Goldhammer just fine.
- Jesse Zeiders is still a fucking beast, 8 tackles and 2 sacks.
- Picked up 2 minor injuries, McKoy broke his toe (questionable for 3 weeks), and Siddiqui bruised his shoulder.

In a weekly segment filled with bitterness, I will point out how Tracy Damon has outperformed Johnnie Goldhammer. $5M per year well spent, Linty.

I look forward to it.

Motor City stayed, mostly, injury free which is always the goal of the preseason. Kenneth Clements went off in a game where he touched the ball way more than he should have. He really needs to stay healthy this year for me to make a run.

Week 1 in our experiment with the 3-4 went pretty well. D stood up nicely and 2nd year NT Kent Cook is really starting to throw his weight around. The NT in the 3-4 is really only supposed to take up blockers, but Cook was a gamechanger grabbing Player of the Game honors for his 5 tackle - 2 sack performance.

Rookie watch:
Cortez was invisible
Moffat dropped a couple passes
Alexander got banged up

wow. I didn't see that coming. Marlon "Scrub" Madison looked great, starting 11/11 and finishing 14/15 for 161 and two tds, and newly signed Mickey Thomas one ups him against Portland's backups going 9/11 with 3 tds. Switching to the 3-4 looks like it may pay off also, our NT Freddie Renes, ala Motor City's Cook, had 6 tackles and two sacks. Offense really stalled out in the second half though, with a ton of three and outs.
Rookie watch:
1.13 Joe Mallow with half a sack and 4 tackles;
3.13 Donny Dennehey 4 catches, 70 yds and a TD
4.14 Damon Levine with 5 tackles and two assists.

Exporting question- if I set a game plan and then export, after the game should the gameplan still be there? The computer reassigned my active and inactive and depth charts also, although I'm sure that it's because DE J. Mallow just signed before the game, but not sure if it would also reset the game plan.

Rookie Watch:

CB Ernest Farr - 2 PR, 0 yards
S Kyle Stickney - 0 tackles
TE Stephen Etheridge - 1 ST tackle, 0 catch, 1 target
LT Myron Briggs - 1 key block, 1 block opp
MLB Luther Shepherd - 4 tackles, 1 assist
MLB Nate Holmes - 2 tackles
G William Kozak - 1 key block, 2 block opp
WR Darell Ponds - 1 rec, 4 yards, 1 KR 21 yards

ZZzzzzz....

If the computer makes any changes for you(i.e, signings) and Aaron sims that before the game it WILL redo your gameplan too. This may have been what happened in Sully's case.

[Sully]

Great, so jwolf had the same thing happen to him?

Showboats win! Showboats win! Showboats win! The parade is scheduled for tomorrow at 2 PM.

Exactly. Before I sim each week, a screen pops up letting me know which teams rosters and/or depth charts are being changed. If you leave a depth chart spot open because of a signing or mistake, the cpu will redo your gameplan.

[aholbert]

I dont know if its the same thing. You were saying that your roster moves and signings havent shown up in 4 of the last 5 sims. Jwolf's issue isnt the same thing. He signed a player (this move showed up in the sim) and that caused an empty spot on his depth chart or a too many active players on his roster. Due to that the CPU changed his roster, depth chart and gameplan. Correct me if im wrong but it seems to be different.

[Sully]

Well, I did make a trade, but the guy I sent to Phoenix was inactive, but the guy he sent to me is active on my roster now.

Is it possible that screwed it up? Was the trade processed before the games were played?

That could be it. I process the trades before I sim.

[Sully]

That's probably it. It would've given me 47 active guys since Sandage was inactive when you took him off my roster.
