How have the reviews for Joker been? The advertising for it was so lackluster that I was shocked when I saw it was releasing last weekend. It had such little build up relative to the budget and success of the first one.

That sounds like it was from the DC having boosts then. They can have them for offense, too. You also may have had boosts at the end of the season for win streaks/conference championships and that sort of thing through the coaching perks. His actual overall didn't drop, just the display of it did. The overall you see in the depth chart/view roster screen is their true overall plus what is added through coaching perks. That's also what will display in their player card when you open it up and award screens. Their true overall is what you see over to the right, above the player display, when you're in the view roster screen. I don't think actual regression is in the game. I've seen guys drop from their boosts changing, but in probably over 100 seasons of sims at this point, I've never seen a player's actual overall drop. The perk boosts to overall can be pretty substantial, too. I've seen 82 overall players display as high as 91 overall when all 3 coaches have tactician groups full for the players position.

You didn't move his position or anything? I've never seen a player drop in overall. Are you sure you didn't just lose a coordinator who had tactician boosts on him making him 87?

You buried that. Great kick and congrats! I love the last still frame in the video. The smirk says it all like you knew it felt good. I'd be using that as a profile pic everywhere lol. I'd also make a sticker of it, if you have an Iphone (not sure if Android has this or not, but I'd imagine they do too) to send to my friends any time they get talking reckless.

I don't know what the bottom threshold would be, but it seems like guys that have 10+ All-Pros+Pro Bowls, with a decade as a starter, have a really good shot. Anybody that gets over 4 All-Pros don't seem to have to wait around long. At least for the more modern players. I'm sure there are guys that get in without meeting that (Tony Boselli comes to mind) but that's normally what I look for when I'm contemplating whether I think someone will get in or not.

You can fire your coordinators during the week of the conference championships. I think that's the only time. It's under the manage staff popup on the main menu where you normally recruit or play your game from.

Oh, got you. I think the player of the year is the stand in for the Maxwell. They probably are the same in this game though. I can't recall seeing a different Hesiman winner than POY winner. Haven't paid attention if the top 5's are always 1 for 1.

You can see the Heisman voting outside of the top 5?

This is where I'm pretty much at. If I'm ranking qbs, I start thinking about him at the end of the top 10, and I don't think I'd pass 15 before I'd write him in. Putting him top 5 is really difficult. I've only been watching football since the mid 90's, and just from guys I've seen, I wouldn't say he's one of the 5 best. Then you start factoring in the Unitas, Graham and Montana's, and there is just no way he's in the top 5.

I wouldn't either. I could see SMU bailing for the PAC too.

Is State College considered the Northeast?

I tried one for a few years. When I could sleep, it was better, but it woke me up multiple times throughout the night too. I did an in hospital sleep study for it one time where they alter the force throughout the night while they monitor you, and the tech said I never registered reaching REM sleep a single time throughout the night. So they finally recommended CPAP probably wasn't the route for me, and I was able to move to a different stage. It wasn't for me, but I'd recommend anyone try it if they aren't getting quality sleep. That compounds into affecting every other part of your life, even before considering the possibility of dying in your sleep. I ended up getting sent to a sleep dentist that made a mouth piece that I've used for the past year, and it has legit changed my life. My insurance covered everything, but they wouldn't cover the dentist until they wasted their money and my time on the multiple CPAP trials and sleep studies. I still had to front the sleep dentist bills but my medical reimbursed everything. I don't carry dental insurance anymore, and wasn't at that time either, so I wasn't complaining about having to front the bills, but some people might not be able to afford that.

I remember being in school when they separated the Southern/Antarctic. I never really learned much about it, because I was in high school, or just entering high school when they added it, but I remember it being in my brother's text books; he was 5 years behind me in school. What is the 6th?

Definitely. I have to encourage like 20 guys an offseason it seems from over recruiting, and not enough players declaring for the draft early. Some players do end up on other teams, but not everyone. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is though. I've seen some former players on other teams do well, and some high overall guys seem to just disappear from the game, like the old cut system. A lot of them will end up in the transfer portal again the following season, because the team they get assigned to won't fit their deal breaker. I've seen it happen with a lot of my former players with the proximity from home deal breaker.

If it was a playing time dealbreaker and the signing of the 4* caused the 5* to decommit, it means the 4* is the superior player, so not all is lost. You probably just landed a DT with Elite or at least Star dev trait.
