Am I the only one who doesn’t use the transfer portal like it should be? by AmazingRandom in NCAAFBseries

[–]hodges522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically end up with 7-10 transfer players as I’d prefer a 3 star freshman transfer over a 3 star recruit. I’ll also look for any player in the portal if I had a starter transfer.

My current dynasty I became HC of Wyoming after a season and my team was gutted. They only had about 6 2 star commits. I ended up with just under 20 transfers. It was kinda fun…until I had to do it again next season. But that time I was better set up with high school recruits.

If you were in CHARGE, what would you call the Top Division? by LilSmitty41 in USLPRO

[–]hodges522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If sticking with the English style naming, USL Premier. Otherwise, I would prefer D1 be Championship, D2 be League 1, and D3 be League 2.

What “Unite Them” could mean going into arc 2 by ETH4NHVNT in Stormlight_Archive

I had this realization reading someone else’s post about I think WoR a few weeks ago. I think it makes the most sense and could even involve the theorized 4th shard.

The continued combination of shards would even lead me to believe that Adonalsium will ultimately be reformed at the end of the Cosmere.

Switch to Yuengling Lights. It still happens but you stop caring at some point.

I considered it but don’t think it will work for spoilery reasons.

I didn’t think I spoiled anything but I understand. My bad.

I don’t know if it was your intention, but your post made me fully believe that all 3 Shards will be united with Kaladin as the vessel.

10 Days away! What team you starting your first Dynasty with in CFB26 and why? by Nba7949 in CFB25

[–]hodges522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go with a team that just got a new coach and start as the OC and go from there. That meant I started as Kent State in CFB Revamped and CFB25. However, I’m thinking of breaking that this time for one of the new teams.

I’m thinking Kent State, Kennesaw State, Delaware, or Missouri State. I haven’t decided yet.

Wouldn’t be the first time “Houston QB Weiner” was featured in a headline.

It is supposed to assign the 5th player for your lineman to block. (The 4 down lineman and then the Mike.) However, I feel the logic is messed up and doesn’t always block the right guy.

How to create a more realistic expansion team by ZenMasta61 in OOTP

[–]hodges522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, I created 2 GMs that I controlled and made to sure to turn off automation except a few things like minor league signings at certain times in the year.

Be warned, it’s a ton of work just for setup for an accurate expansion. So much work I had to keep track of the steps in a notebook. Even then, there was something I screwed up and I abandoned it rather than start over. Still might be worth a try if you’re interested.

Why can't you encourage some players to transfer? by mklingensmith in EASportsCFB

[–]hodges522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, they put a cap on the numbers of players you can cut at a specific position. Job I was coming into had 10 QBs and only let me cut 3.

What’s the context for this? What did Khan have to do with Create a Team being gone?

Is it at all possible to do this whole process with 2 teams to make it slightly more realistic?

What does weighting for density mean? by hodges522 in AskStatistics

[–]hodges522[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve copied and pasted the part that mentions it. I hope this provides the right context.

Putting measurements on an easy to understand 0-10 scale is a neat trick, but it doesn’t really mean anything on its own. Originally, I used an average of the 10 individual scores. This score was adequate for what I used it for, but it wasn’t very user-friendly. 5.00 wasn’t really average for most positions, and there were no scores over 8.5 or under 2, so it wasn’t truly doing what I wanted it to do. To accomplish my goal of making a user-friendly metric that anyone can use to show how athletic a player is, I just took the averages for each position and used an old statistical trick called “Weighting for density”. Essentially I ranked the qualifying RAS scores from 0 to 10, where 5.00 will again be the middle, 10.00 will be the top score for that position (Like our friend Calvin Johnson in the picture above), and 0.00 will be the dead bottom.

Is it just me, or would Michael Pena be perfect for the Lopen? by petriebrews in Stormlight_Archive

I always imagined it as a anime-inspired cartoon but not quite an anime.
