jason Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 The Tournament has begun! See my post below for details! It seems that there's some interest in an NFL2K league that moves more quickly than the one currently being played out. I propose a second league in parallel to the first. This will allow us all to continue dominating (or being domintated by) players who might not be able to play in a league that advances rapidly while giving people who are "HARDCORE" the opportunity to destroy their personal relationships, personal property, and eyesight on a more regular basis. In the other thread Carlos proposed a number of rules. I like them, but before we get into rule making, lets try this first: I think we should have one rule. 1) PLAY YOUR GAME ASAP. If that doesn't happen, we'll go from there. I'm also not tied to playing this out as a season. We can try a tournament if people like, although that limits our ability to play each other as my research shows the tournaments are single elimination. Please feel free to correct me. If you're interested, please post. If I get enough replies I'll take names and start the process. Also, if there is interest and someone with more league admin experience would like to help me, that would be great as well. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I will be in your tournament or league! I try to play NFL2K5 every night, because it is so fun. It would be more fun if those games I played were actually in a league. Or perhaps a better supplement to the existing league is a tournament. One with a THREE day limit. C'mon. I know there are other people playing Fable, Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat, Rainbow Six, etc... that are just dying to kick my arse.

Darius Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I could probably go for a tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 So that's three of us. Darius, you said tournament so how about we shoot for five more people and try and eight person tournament first. I know that during the regular season one of the draws was having the ability to trade and see the stats on different players. In the tournament it seems the emphasis would be ok skill level. Would we want to randomly assign teams? Would we want to turn on the team equalizer option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky G Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Count me in. I like to play games quickly, too. I'm available most nights after 7:30 PST. (except fridays). League, tourney, whatever is fine with me. A tourney would be over too fast, so I vote for an eight team, eight game season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I would be interested in a 8 team league, if we played a pretty quick schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky G Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Jason, Keep in mind that a tournament will be three games max for the two teams that make it all the way. If we do an eight man league, it will be eight games long, which if we truly are hardcore can knock out in under two months. I think an eight man league is the way to go, but would be OK if the majority wanted a tourney instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Might be interesting to try a team equalizer tournament. Just to see how it plays. It shouldn't take long to finish and then we can start a league with or without equalizer depending on how we like it. I honestly get tired of people picking teams just because they have the best offense or best defense. Pick who you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I say, as a primer, we do a tournament. Then, we can expand to a league. Also, by then I'll have more perspective about how much time I'll have once I have my Baby girl (coming soon to a crib near me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky G Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 A tourney is fine by me. I'll take the GIANTS. What? Noone wants to fight me for them? I didn't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Team equalizer just seems to make both teams equally shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 This tournament is taking too long. I am going to start another thread for real men who want to play games once an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Keith, I hope your kid learns to talk real early and turns out just like you. Everyone else, it sounds like some people want to play a tournament and others are interested in a season. Keith mentioned to me earlier today he would be interested in a quick tournament to see how it goes and then if it works out well, maybe try the 8 man season. Is everyone ok with that? If so, I'll go ahead and set up the tournament ASAP. Also, Adam says team equalizer is shitty. Are people ok with leaving it off? With only 8 of us, its not like there's be people having to play as the Cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky G Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 No EQ, please. I don't need my Giants stats lowered to the levels of the Eagles and Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ok Boys: I've created a tournament. The details are as follows: Tournament Name: LCVGhardcore1 Stats: all pro, no eq, no random weather, 8 person tourney There is a password. Some of you have said you're definitely interested, and I've sent you the password by PM. That leaves two open spaces. First two people to PM me and ask for the password are in. I have signed up with the Ravens. Ricky Hustle has called the Giants. All other teams are first come first served. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 As of now four teams are signed up and Cane Corso makes five. I know Keith wanted to play, but I also know his baby was born on Sunday (congrats Keith!) night so he may not be back online right away. We only need three more players. Who's interested? Send me a message and I'll send you the password. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
