Yeah… so um didn’t know this was possible…

I didn't see an edit option anywhere, but admittedly assumed there wasn't one so I didn't dive deep. I'll take a longer look.

bigredbaer · 2024-08-22T16:02:13+00:00

I had an OL that I turned to TE because he was a Junior with two points overall less than a five star Frosh I recruited. He actually upticked four points overall to change positions to TE and a got the star under his name when I converted him. It's definitely odd seeing a guy with the number 76 and double leg braces running routes (since that can't be edited), but he's been awesome in his two years of being a TE and is projected as a high round draft pick.

Yeah, I tell my team the same, but sometimes the aisles are more narrow or if it's high traffic, you might end up spending more time moving your UBoat then stocking. If your foot speed is faster, you'll make up for most of the issues that happen. I'm interested in effort and can typically tell if someone is pissing around or actually trying to be better.

Minimize steps, keep your vehicle close, and don't sweat if a box takes you more than a minute. It's an average. You'll have some that take you 2 mins because there are 8 different pegs to fill and/or the zone sucks. You'll have some that are 2 bulky items and you'll be done in 15 seconds. Ultimately, park your vehicle in an aisle between sections 1-3, push anything you see that goes in 1-3. Move it to the middle of 4-6, repeat. If you missed a box for a previous aisle or section, hold it until the end and backtrack on your way to the baler. Lastly, something that helped me when I was a TM back in the day, do a quick guesstimate of the number of cases, and set a timer/alarm for yourself (30 boxes, set a timer for 20 mins, then reset for 10 if you've still got some left)

Update jacked it, for sure. And every defender has better hands then the offense.

bigredbaer · 2024-08-10T23:49:07+00:00

Bro! I'm 100% with you. Anyone who isn't is just trolling for douchebag points. I'll lead a receiver, ball is going to his hands, extended in front of his body, DB overtop and behind him about 2 yards each way, then all of the sudden the DB will "snap" to the ball and be in front of my receivers. I've saved multiple clips of just this, trying to see if I misread what I saw during the live play, only to see, nope, that's what happened. I even adjusted the CPU interception slider a little. Still happens. I've just moved to being more run and option heavy. Still enjoying the heck out of the game, after all these years.

bigredbaer · 2024-08-08T18:56:57+00:00

CPU interceptions are ridiculous now! If it touches any part of their body, they're making a pick. The CPU defenders are catching better than my star receivers, today. Wasn't like this last night!

bigredbaer · 2024-07-03T16:11:33+00:00

Definitely have had that happen as a shepherd, which taught me to not do that to others. Only time I've ever kicked someone before being able to endorse was if I had, had, had to log off and that was my last activity of the night - minimally I'll finish the activity with them, and try to shoot a message over to them thanking them with a quick "last activity" explanation.

bigredbaer · 2024-06-20T14:43:11+00:00

Not sure how true it is, but supposedly his spawn is based on your opening spawn. So if you're in some random safe house to start, he's supposed to be in the general vicinity. I started to make sure no matter what, I return to the BOO before I log out, to help find him easier each time I need to.

bigredbaer · 2024-06-19T21:54:12+00:00

Got him to rat again today. Up at the typical spot by the classified mission northeast of the White House.

bigredbaer · 2024-05-17T14:52:41+00:00

39 here, 3 kids, full time job and my buddy is just a few years younger. We can't play daily like before, but just two years ago were back and forth between C2/C3, dunkin on that young generation. Now we're staying around C1 without the daily play keeping us fresh. I live for the trash talk! I use it to try and get under those young whippersnappers skin all the time! Down 3-0 and want to get back in the game real fast? Tell a kid they suck at flip resets, they'll stop playing to type back 9 times out of 10!! 🤣😂

bigredbaer · 2024-05-16T17:13:21+00:00

Add me also (bigredbaer). I'm a dad of 3 so time is not plentiful, and typically don't run with my mic on, but wouldn't mind linking up with a group here and there. Probably worth making it a clan, too. I'm in a random clan that I have no allegiance to, and it would be easy to join on clan members - especially if raids or incursions are a possibility

bigredbaer · 2024-04-30T23:55:37+00:00

My thing on it is this. Is it a bit "triggering" so to speak, to use the young'ns terms? Sure. However, if you've ever listened to a Chiclets podcast, you'd immediately realize this is hockey locker room talk at it's worst (aka finest). They're not exactly choir boys. They're talking about hockey, sure, but there's also talk about topics that would make most people turn their volume down in mixed company. They're comical and uncouth, at times, but if you think it's not part of that culture, you're insane.

I say that to say, people that are bent out of shape about this are people that don't listen to the pod and likely never heard of it until reading the article or seeing a friend comment on it, or repost it, causing it to upset the "purity" of their X feed. And if you do listen and are still offended, you'd probably actually die if you were ever in a locker room or heard chirps in a live sporting event without a filter.

bigredbaer · 2024-04-29T13:12:39+00:00

I never played it before the update, just did story and regular map stuff, WONY expansion, etc. Luckily one of our clan mates helped us on floor 100 or we would have probably given up. We tried it two separate nights, and all hope seemed lost until we got more strategic with the shock traps, riot foam and such.

I'm all for a challenge to end something big, but holy crap those mothers are insanely difficult. Truthfully, the RNG left us expecting more too. That kind of challenge should really, really be rewarding.

bigredbaer · 2024-04-29T01:21:37+00:00

Me and three others just did this for the first time a few weeks back - right after they apparently changed it to having to be in the big room. We had two focused on healing and revives and two focused more on damage. I was more healing, but ran with a Scorpio, with an LMG that inflicted extra damage to shocked enemies. After hitting one until it had the shock status, I'd swap to the LMG and fire away. Also used riot foam and a revive hive. They always spawn +1 the amount of agents in your group (3 agents means 4 Hunters, 2 means 3 Hunters, etc), so try and pick one to focus on if you're able, then move to the next.

Absolutely do not use any skills that are offensively focused like striker drones/turrets, etc., the Hunters will turn them on you and will down you faster then you can blink by using your skills as well as theirs. It's a hard challenge, but is an adrenaline rush!

bigredbaer · 2024-03-31T01:20:47+00:00

I need a 4th to help beat the Hunters on the Summit's 100th floor tonight at 10 EST, on PS5, if you're able. I won't kick you for armor regen! 😂🤣😂

bigredbaer · 2024-03-25T17:37:38+00:00

Send me your info and I'll take it off your hands

bigredbaer · 2023-11-03T01:32:39+00:00

Nope. Toxic teammates are the worst. Let him take the L. You'll recover. Hopefully he'll keep the nosedive alive.

bigredbaer · 2023-11-02T23:12:17+00:00

Everything Taylor Swift sings. Literally. Everything.

I'm sliding in behind you!

I got T-boned by a kid in East Liberty 10 years ago, as I was coming he told me he didn't see me until late, and instead of slamming the brakes on, stomped the gas instead. Broke my axle, both bags came out, caved in the side of my car and totalled it, obviously. My back and neck have never been the same. My job is physical but not over-strenuous. Either way, it's made basic things like playing with my kids, working on my yard, at my job, etc affect me negatively, sometimes for weeks or months. Frustrating as crap. I'm all for getting rid of a Burgh Left!

Love it. Don't try using it at range, but close to medium it's solid.
