re: Anyone a motor oil geek?

Yea I’m sure oil changes are gonna be about 20 bucks more now for your quick change places. Probably 40 bucks more at dealerships.
It’s crazy also that I’m
Now midway through my 3rd season and the only sec teams ranked in the top 25 are Georgia and Tennessee. South Carolina was ranked but fell off. Both auburn and Alabama creeped into top 25 but immediately fell out,

Florida fired sumrall already as well as va tech fired James Franklin both after year 1.
Currently in year 3 and first year as hc. I’m at duke now. Week 11 ranked number 1.

He went 6-6 for me too. Got fired and went to Michigan and is currently 1-7 this season. They really, really do hate him

What’s hilarious is that Alabama fired him and the hired Dabo. The Clemson hired Deboer after my first full season lmao. Both still there currently starting year 3. It’s fantastic lol
I just took the Duke HC job and I don’t know if it glitched or what. It wouldn’t let me pick an oc or dc so I advanced the week and it hired two for me. Pissed me off. Then I couldn’t adjust nil.
I think I’m technically in the post season and haven’t fully advanced to new season so since I was oc to hc it won’t allow me to adjust anything
I think they relaxed specs or approved emergency formulation changes without testing due to supply chain issues

Just thought I’d update, walmart hit with their price increase a few days ago.
Ultra platinum went from 29.97 to 39.97
Restore and protect went from 29.97 to 35.97
Esp went from 27.97 to 31.97

Not sure on advanced auto or auto zone and etc

I'm going to start playing around in dynasty some here soon. I'm curious how successfull you can be if you offer a much lower NIL amount or none at all, but load up hours like you normally do.


Like i said previously, I started as OC at South Alabama. Recruiting has been tough but i did snag 3 3* WRS and 3 star QB and OLB. Rest were 2 stars and a couple one star.

IME albeit limited, even coming in late when 3 stars had no offers from anyone they didnt budge when offered less NIL. It was immediately not interested. But that could be different with larger schools
Crazy that for both of us Deboer went 6-6 first season. I still dont know if I will put in for the UAB/Kansas job or stay one more year with my first class of recruits. Probably wiser take UAB or Kansas.
I started as South Alabama OC. First season in the books. Alabama fired Deboer after a 6-6 season lmao. I expressed interest inthe job but didnt get it.
Now im stuck on whether i want to play a season with some decent recruits i got committed (3 3 star receivers 1 3 star qb) or jump ship to either Kansas or UAB as HC. Ive enjoyed the game Immensely in that regard. Starting as OC at a small school, fighting for 2 and 3 star recruits and seeing what offers come in. Highly recommend that route.

I don’t know what the hell you guys are doing to run but my line can’t create a fricking hole to save their life. Played auburn, again, rage quit again, against auburn. Can’t run, 2 interceptions, can’t stop their fricking run.


My best run plays are shotgun y off trips (i believe) hb direct i also run an rpo out of shotgun called RPO slide read. Also pistol trips is good to run out of. Defensively I struggle. I usually just run some cloud zones mixed with LB blitzes every now and again and hope to get a stop
What defensive plays are yall running? I been running 3 3 5 a good bit with some 4 3 and dime
Im struggling on defense as well. Offensively is hit and miss. Ill march right down the field then next drive ill have to convert 3 4th downs to get inside the redzone.

lol I get it haha. It probably is legitimate like 10-12. A lot of shotgun spread trips and pistol. I didn’t realize how much the game has changed in probably 15 years and how far behind I am. Defensively I’m so far behind. I am going to crate a playbook with few formations and plays just so I can try to form a baseline so to speak.

I’ll say this is extremely fun knowing that I’m not going to blow everyone out I play. I feel like every possession matters. I start utilizing clock more when situation arises. It’s amazing lol.

I’ll say this. I literally just played my first two games since release as I’ve taken time practicing and going through formations.
I’ve started as an oc at South Alabama and working my way up. My first game I had to win it on a game winning field goal and it was exhilarating. Played Tulane next in a barn burner where I won by 11 but they had 4 turnovers. It’s pretty damn fun in that aspect.

I wish you had more time defensively to pick plays. Also I gotta figure out the whole pre snap defense stuff. I
Enjoy the challenge but it does seem overdone imo

I think the gameplay is really fantastic. This is coming g from someone who hasn’t played a cfb game since probably 2010 2012 at the latest. I did play them religiously every year though. Gameplay is much improved however I feel the ui is over done for me currently.
I used to be able to call a defensive play and simply press triangle and down for press coverage from secondary. L1 for d line pinch or spread. I believe (dont quote me) r1 for line backers.
Now I literally have no idea. I’ve tried to go into practice but that’s only offense. I have no time to pick a play on defense it seems.
So far I’ve just played as a dl who constantly gets blocked and hopes my back end can hold. I can’t even figure out how to swim move or anything. In nockle or 4-2-5 I’m hard pressed to find pressure.

I’m pretty good offensively though as I’ve spent since release crafting a playbook though I only run about 7 plays.
And if I read correctly if I want to build a team I do that online then import it? I’m trying to decide if I want to start with a small created school or just roll with bama with different playbook
I spent two hours just practicing. I really don’t care for Alabama playbook. I’m looking for a typical shotgun passes with some rpo stuff. I hate how every set has a te. I get it with rpo but out of shotgun I should have 4 wr in at least most of the plays. Anyone have a good playbook like that?

Also I did find it funny while practicing Ryan Williams dropped the frick out of the ball pretty consistently.
I pre ordered it so guess I’ll have to wait until 9th

My take is that the judge felt a subpoena was t sufficient for the scope they requested. So I believe the judge is essentially saying get a search warrant for a scope that large according to the wording in the article

I need some advice from a ten plus year layoff. I remember i used to run deep attacks out of shotgun all the time and essentially was unstoppable. Obviously that probably not a play anymore. Honestly i havent watched any reviews or gameplay about this game. For me its probably more of a throwback to my early twenties with buddies.

Damn thinking about the last time i played ncaa with my bros vs where we all are now its kinda heavy truly. Good and bad. There are just so many good times wrapped up in NCAA back in the day for me. I know it will disappoint from that aspect but at the same time it will feel good to revisit that some for me.

We used to have about 15-20 people over, order pizza and have a beer run. There was a tournament with a loser bracket and winner bracket.. loser could win their bracket and have a wild card nback into the main tournamnet. No wives or girlfriends. No drama just food beer and friends. Damn it was the good ol days. :wah: :wah:
I just bought it. Haven’t played in ten years so frick it it’s worth the nostalgia. I got eso as well. Gonna finish my character in poe2 and then go between eso and ncaa. Give Diablo 4 and fallout a rest for a while. I really hope they each franchise gets their shite together.
