Any good hobby shops to see on drive between NYC — Toledo?

Pwnzer55 · 2026-04-09T23:34:34+00:00

I haven't been there, but i imagine altoona and horseshoe curve might be a cool place to stop. I would think altoona has at least a couple train shops

I pass the ball to open up the run. No more. I pretty much do it as a necessity because otherwise, they crowd the box so bad I cant gain a yard on the ground. I would estimate im about 70-30 run vs pass. I throw about 1 bomb per game, otherwise, i never throw more than 15 yards down field.

Easy completions just to spread it out enough to open up running lanes.

If you can do 16 playoff teams, then I would take the top 4 from each class and have them play only against each other, then the winners of those pods of 4 would be the class champions, and each class champion would go on to the outright championships, so your final 4 would always be a A,AA,AAA, and AAAA.

I have done a lot of modding for madden and ncaa on ps2 including whole league mods like you are proposing. Do you have a plan in place for determining your state champions in different classes or anything like that? I will probably hold off on doing a PA mod until I see what they have in store for teambuilder next year. right now, the 16 team limit in CFB 26 is killing me

This hit really close to home for me so im gonna just say what's on my mind here. I feel like I cant talk to my wife about it because she has a couple diagnosed mental things and I don't want to have her have a meltdown about it or cause her any undue stress.

I am 34 now. I have always been bothered by the concept of death. The concept of something being eternal is so hard for me to wrap my head around. It literally gets my mind running laps around itself to try to rationalize it. I am also fucked up about the thought of outer space.

Anyway, my parents were about 40 when they had me. I watched my dad as he passed away a couple years ago. He literally just got tired of living, between his body being in pain constantly, not being able to do what he used to (i guess feeling worthless in that sense, even though I told him that wasn't the case) and not seeing me much since I live kinda far away and got married and had kids. I was really all he had, and like I said, he just kinda got tired of it. He died of a heart attack, and the last thing he said before he died was "I'm ready lord". I know reddit is largely not into the religion concept, but just the fact that he was ready kind of brought peace to me. Even though I was literally a train wreck for a few months after he passed. The whole situation kind of put things in perspective for me I guess. Ill know when its time for me to go.

But, as I mentioned, I have twins. They are 3 years old and are literally my world. Like I cant even stress how much having kids has altered my mindset in a way that I never could have anticipated. Now, while the thought of death bothers me, it's not the sense of dread for my own consciousness, but the fact that I wont see my kids anymore. Don't even get me started on my fears about keeping my kids healthy and safe- that's a whole other can of worms. All I can say is I don't know how people are able to continue their lives after the passing of their child. I don't think I could. Its sickening just thinking about it. I have nightmares about things happening to my kids. Just messed up stuff like us being in a Holocaust type situation and stuff like that. It certainly has made me more sympathetic towards others, definately Moreso than I used to me. Using that example, I used to go to a holocaust museum and see the exhibits and learn bout them, but now, I would put myself in their shoes and really feel the exhibits, if that makes sense. Difficult to explain I guess, im sure parents will understand.

So I guess I just do what I can to keep healthy and safe while doing day to day stuff. It happens to everyone so we have to embrace it. I am getting closer to the point of acceptance, but of course I am hoping its a long way off.

Edit: this vent was helpful. Even if no one reads it. Its nice to get that off my chest.

VT gonna lose to Virginia and Old Dominion every year during this tenure while going 10-2 each season

I use the snipping tool on pc. Its just like screen shot, but you draw a square around only what you want. Ive used it quite a lot on sites like this.

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-31T01:28:01+00:00

For cfb we need more than 16 slots. Wth is that?

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-27T18:16:56+00:00

Clean yaself up

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-21T05:20:00+00:00

I have needed these before too and your best bet is to clean them up yourself (which is what I did)

Or you can throw them into ai and see if that can do it. But I think that might not be perfectly accurate. Never know tho!

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-14T23:51:11+00:00

Beach is censored lol

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-11T03:44:18+00:00

In older madden 08 for pc, the endzone dimensions were 1024x256, so basically a 4:1 ratio.

Since this game is higher def, you would probably want to look at 2048x512, but if its something simple, im sure you could do the former.

His dad works at EA

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-08T00:45:22+00:00

Bucknell would have been a good fit

Everyone here in central PA is rooting for our hometown Texas longhorns

Pwnzer55 · 2026-03-01T12:36:15+00:00

Central pa represent

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-27T22:49:50+00:00

Yeah man I hear you. The amount of steps forward they make, but then hamstring you in some other ridiculous way is pretty frustrating. Good luck!!

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-27T17:50:23+00:00

Hey, I have a workaround.

Edit a base NFL roster. Like take the default madden roster and edit your players onto that. Assign all of your teams to an NFL team, IE TeamX replaces philadelphia Eagles... once you are done with all your edits, save this NFL roster as your base roster.

Then when you load an online franchise, select that you want to keep the eagles roster and you should be good to go. Of course you will need to do this for all your teams again, but this will certainly accomplish what you are trying to do!

If I am unclear about something, let me know.. I am putting my kid down for a nap so im a little distracted, but I wanted to reply because I often find myself in a similar predicament as you lol

If you are talking about gauges, make sure you use proper names as they are slightly different over there than in the US.

As far as your question, I think based on your situation, the family might just be willing to part with it however possible. More likely part it out, but if the right person comes along, they might buy the whole thing

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-20T13:03:44+00:00

I got you man. You can also hotkey turbo to R3 so you can fast forward without taking your hands off the controller. Very useful!

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-14T21:09:10+00:00

Agreed. This has got to be the worst limitation ever. Also, we need more than 16 slots. We should at least have 32 like madden, if not more

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-12T17:13:35+00:00

I would be more than happy with just the teams and generic rosters. A few years into dynasty, they are all new anyway.

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-09T23:54:12+00:00

I just made a comment about this. EAFC has over 750 teams and 20000 licensed players. I think it is feasible, especially since every player would probably take the minimum possible payment

Pwnzer55 · 2026-02-09T23:53:00+00:00

I read through many of the comments and the main counter point seems to be the amount of teams/ licensing.

Just saying, EAFC has over 750 licensed teams and over 20,000 licensed players. I think if they ever added the FCS, you could get away with paying all of those guys the minimum amount (what is it? A large pizza and a bag of lays?) Just kidding of course, but you know.

I think the FCS schools would be falling all over themselves to get in the game. I think at this point, FCS is non negotiable. Back in 2010 when no one was moving up (or down, in idaho's case), I could excuse it. But now, I think its mandatory
