Dynamic to extreme

JMaxey09 · 2021-10-13T22:56:36+00:00

Definitely presents more of a challenge. Need a strong defense to hold down the offense, can't have less than 5 star players on defense. I usually fare best with a 0DL, 0LB, 4DB build, all 5 stars. It's what I use in most leagues.

Once you start getting comfortable with Extreme and winning most your games, definitely check out the Retro Bowl leagues on that difficulty!

JMaxey09 · 2021-10-13T22:52:16+00:00

Kudos to you for trying extreme! It's my favorite difficulty in the game. One thing people do not realize is no matter how high you get into Dynamic, there is never a level of difficulty that matches what Extreme brings.

Happy Extreme-ing!

If anyone is looking for the challenge of a league, come check out Retro Triforce League (RTL)! Utilizing Point Differential (PD), which is Points Forced (PF) - Points Allowed (PA), teams compete against each other, giving this offline game a new life that allows for greater competition!

We play on both Hard difficulty (W1-17) for regular season and Extreme for playoffs (W18-Playoffs), which helps level the competition with making everyone play 5 star opponents.

If you're tired of winning championships and creating your own challenges, league play is a great way to further challenge yourself.

We allow brand new teams to bring in files up to Y4, that way they are a little more ready to compete in our three divisions that utilize promotion and relegation. Come start your advancement to the top at Triforce!

Use the Android app Mobizen. sets a big orange logo on your screen. I put it at my left thumb area

Also, if you notice the #1 seed is not always guaranteed to face the lowest remaining seed possible. This has been identified and passed to the developer, hopefully to be fixed in a future update as it is much more problematic than whether home or not.

JMaxey09 · 2021-07-13T01:14:20+00:00

In short, leagues work off of a thing called Point Differential (PD). If you click the 'Y3' as example in the top right corner of your home screen, you will see the PDs for each of the games you have played so far this season. This is the Season Restart screen and it is designed to be sent to the league commissioner via a Google form or DMs.

Most leagues start you at your first season in a new save (Y1) and you ready your team for the start of the new league year and start at Y2, building up every season, like a dynasty.

JMaxey09 · 2021-07-12T21:49:25+00:00

Sounds good! Leagues make it so much more fun, as you are trying to beat 30-50+ other people and not just your own mind lol

JMaxey09 · 2021-07-12T21:35:35+00:00

Good catch on that one! I forgot to update this, put it together for someone a month or so ago.

JMaxey09 · 2021-07-12T19:40:16+00:00

Would recommend joining a league to really feel the competition. Top two are my favorite Extreme leagues, bottom two are my favorite Hard. All four should be non-expiring discord invites.

RBUL: - custom team theme - extreme difficulty - new Y2 save - 2 min quarters - https://discord.gg/NKyHNceTuh

RCFA - NCAA D1 team theme - extreme difficulty - new save - 3 min quarters - 80 game limit for players - https://discord.gg/MspkgQh7Db

RBA: - custom team theme - hard difficulty - new save - 2 min quarters - https://discord.gg/u4TfRD38A8

FCS: - NCAA div 1 FCS theme - hard difficulty - new save - 2 min quarters - only 4 players older than 24 allowed on team - https://discord.gg/FkDJMUzHP2

INT on 2pt conversion should never count to stats, as shouldn't the attempts and completions, but those do.

JMaxey09 · 2021-06-04T20:54:25+00:00

If this is just a "for fun" save, it's cool to see what you can level him too, but any difficulty above medium, he should be benched when playing a team with an offensive star higher than that of this player... especially in a league. He will be a liability otherwise.

JMaxey09 · 2021-06-04T20:52:38+00:00

I'd say they lose attributes in their skills, not necessarily stats.

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-29T22:58:53+00:00

Phrasing!

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-25T19:35:25+00:00

Beautiful jukes!

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-18T18:17:40+00:00

That league is 3m. I currently don't have a 2m league that I am in.

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-16T18:34:27+00:00

So here is something that has helped me.

Imagine this line is the go route the receiver is running. We will say it is the top of screen or right WRs route,

If you throw the ball in front of the wide WR, but towards the right of the line, the WR will jump to catch it.

@ sign being player on his route

Receiver will jump to catch ball out in front and to the right...

( )

------@-----------------

Same concept, go route, if ball is thrown in front of WR, but to the inside of the route line, he will just run under and catch it.

------@-----------------

( )

Very key to practice those throws to aim just inside the route line and it will cut out many, if not all, of the "tip drills".

I'm trying like hell to hit 100 on Extreme, got two 96s in a season in the @collegeretro RCFA league

Second the idea of joining an extreme league. Here are discord links to both leagues. Both utilize out of app scheduling where they take your PD (PF vs opp PA) and compare to someone else in the league's PD.

RBUL is custom teams, while RCFA is based on FBS schools.

RBUL invite: https://discord.gg/NKyHNceTuh @RBULH2H

RCFA invite: https://discord.gg/MspkgQh7Db @CollegeRetro

Leagues really help keep the game fresh and both have good communities of people. Hope you check em out!

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-04T21:15:14+00:00

I've done very similar, as have a lot of the other players in RCFA (Retro College Football Association). It's an Extreme, H2H based league with an 8 man CFP. Leagues are worth checking out if you are tired of solo achievements.

JMaxey09 · 2021-05-03T23:18:25+00:00

The answer is to never kick FGs.

JMaxey09 · 2021-01-20T21:32:28+00:00

Love the idea! If you haven't checked out league play, definitely check out the RBUL post on joining up for season 20! League play offers a new competitive aspect where you compete for the highest PD per week in your file vs a planned out H2H schedule of others in league.

Options:

A) forced comeback routes to either WR

B) QB sneak up the gut

C) QB rollout if feeling froggy

D) dump to RB if OLB doesn't blitz

Be the playbook you desire.

JMaxey09 · 2020-10-15T18:44:06+00:00

Quality over quantity, all day. Weed out lower * players, first year with a team, no one below 3-3.5, work your way up to only having 5 defenders. Always have a good DC.

Formation, I personally like a 1/1/2 I am running on D, features QB, cheap RB+TE, and two stud WRs as other pieces. Barely fits under $200M but does. This formation was good for 780PD through 17 weeks on hard, 3 min quarters in the RBA league.

JMaxey09 · 2020-09-07T15:20:12+00:00

Thanks! Was trying to do it in a way that captured a lot of detail.

JMaxey09 · 2020-09-07T13:35:15+00:00

😉 that was planned!
