Rise To Prominence (RTP) General Discussion

Can not wait.... been itchin' to start

I will be leaving for the evening tomorrow (Friday) around 5pm and wont be home until 11-midnight.

Hope that doesn't hurt anything.

Team Previews

Ya I know I went a little overboard haha

WEIRD

anyone else getting this message when they try to play any game in any game mode...."The data download has failed. This game will not count towards your school"

Yep. It has to do with the season showdown I would assume.

ya thats what i was thinking just glad to see im not the only one getting it

Very well done. Let me be the first to say, "Holy Crap". Some skillz on display here. Way to take the initiative on the preview.

Don't want to be Debbie Downer, but what rosters will we be using? I just don't want to jump the gun and be stuck with crappy rosters. Jeremy Masoli will not be in the game, right? If it's not a fantastic roster, waiting just a day or two will make all the difference in the world. By the way, I have to find some time to play in the Preseason tournament.

I have not tried it but if any of you have, could you post your thoughts here?

1. Provide the link to your new member application. New Member: WK19

2. Have you read and agree with the league rules? Yes, but I do have a question. I run a 3-4 defense, and like using the 3-3-5 in big time passing situations (3rd & 8+, etc.). Is it just the 3-3-5 playbook that is disallowed or is it the actual 3-3-5?

3. What is it that you feel that you could bring to the league that other applicants wont? I won't claim to have read every one of the new applicants'... um... applications, but I feel as if I am probably more dedicated and more likely to write full write-ups on games/recruits/etc. I really like being immersed in a dynasty, and think exploring the rivalries and relationships formed between coaches is a great way to do so. For instance, Urban Meyer and Lane Kiffin will likely always have a rocky relationship, whereas Will Muschamp and Nick Saban will probably be friendly towards each other, albeit in a competitive manner.

4. This league requires a high level of involvement, do you feel that you can meet the requirements of the league? Yes, the more players are involved, the better the dynasty.

5. Give a quick bio of yourself. I'm a 21 year old rising senior at the University of Alabama. I played football in high school until my junior season, when I tore my labrum in my right shoulder, ending my career permanently. However, the offensive coordinator of my high school team allowed me to help out with the coaching decisions to a small extent (call a few plays here and there, help out in practice, etc), which was really cool. I'm going into Management Information Systems at UA, so computers and programming are pretty much my life. Well, that and football, particularly the style they play in Tuscaloosa.

6. Who, in your opinion, is the greatest to ever play college football? I refuse to say that Tim Tebow is the greatest player of all time. Personally, I think great linebackers are much more fun to watch than quarterbacks, and Derrick Thomas is arguably the best of all time. In my opinion, no other LB compares. He played with an unnatural motor and was a vicious defender.

7. How many Dynasties are you currently involved in? Currently, 0. I am supposed to be setting up an OD for my friends in early August, but I seriously doubt there will be enough interest to do anything with it. I am on a waiting list for the Hard4Yards dynasty on here.

EDIT: I'm not gonna be able to play for at least a month more than likely, my house caught on fire yesterday.

I just looked over the roster file that I have and Masoli is not on Oregon's roster. Everyone will have the opportunity to go over their own roster to make any needed changes(No Rating Changes)

I say all american.

I started my Texas dynasty and I have 1 loss, but got back up to a #5 ranking because I have wins over Florida, Nebraska and Oklahoma who are all still in the top 15. Yet I am 2nd or 3rd on probably 2/3 of my recruits and have had at least 10 I was going after commit to teams worse than me. In past NCAA games I would easily have a number of 5* and 4* players committed already.

Sorry I freaked out. Are we using OS rosters? I've heard those are very good and most of the other OD's are using those. I am more than ready to get these things rolling.

yeah we are using the OS community rosters

Let's do all-american. When we get are teams to elite status we could change it to heisman.

Does anyone else want a user game? I thought we had to have 3. I'm on my phone so It's to hard to look it up, but i think i only have one against smu.

That will not be a problem. I plan to start today/tonight, as soon as I can find another user, the first guy didnt get back to me, but superbowlnachos referred me to someone I will need to talk to. In the mean time, check these rosters to make sure noone has any problems with them. They are the OS community ones and can be found at the following gamertags:
The Massacre771
CcAaRrSsOoNn3
Geauxlden
CK11

Yea, especially since RMG is doing it on AA, there is no reason for our 1/2 star teams ti have a harder difficulty recruiting than the good teams in the other OD.

Until late August, I'm available almost all times. Just depends on what I'm doing that day and when I can make some free time.

Once school is back in session, I'll be available 7pmish to 11pmish.

I would like to play UTEP and Iowa State if you guys are up for it.

Accepted

The Dynasty has Started

I just sent out all the invites, let me know if you have any questions. Used the OS community rosters, and sliders from I Peench that are found here: http://www.traditionfootball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26648

Also, make sure your team isnt 3 star prestige before selecting them. None of them should be, but just in case.
