I'm considering trading in NCAA when I purchase Madden tomorrow. I'm just not enjoying this game as much I thought as I would and compared to the other EA games I have, it just seems like it hasn't improve at all from NCAA 12. There are still tons of bugs in the game, many of which haven't been dealt with since the last release. With Madden, NHL, and FIFA 13 coming out within the next month, I think being able to still get a decent amount from NCAA and placing it towards those games might be the thing to do, financially.
This decision has nothing to do with anyone in this league or any other things that might've come up, as the majority of us have been playing together for over a year.
If anyone wants to take over, post here and I'll transfer commish duties and make you an admin on the board. The last thing I want is for the league to break apart.

I'm sorry to hear that you'll be leaving us, RW.
Despite being somewhat swamped with my first year of law school, I'd be willing to take over Commish duties. Once my internet is installed on Wednesday, I'll be on almost every day.

I know things have been frustrating to start RW but basically your decision comes down to Madden vs NCAA. We've had a month to iron out the NCAA issues, Madden is coming out otday and it's got a whole new physics engine to work out. I think there will be way more issues with Madden.
Just something to think about.

Just something to think about. Actually, it comes down to NHL or NCAA (was getting Madden regardless, in a 32 member league that I paid $13 to upgrade my account at forums.traditionsportsonline.com for - btw, awesome site for all sports video games, recommend that you all join). As an currently unemployed recent grad, I don't want more than three games and now that NHL finally added an online gm mode, I think its quite an easy decision. The improvements that Madden and NHL have added (FIFA is so awesome, it doesn't need to improve) completely out-do anything NCAA has done (which in the last couple years has been basically nothing). I know others might have a different stance on this. |

I think moving forward that Hez should take over commish duties. Nothing against anyone else but that's my vote |

Was looking forward to going head to head in the PAC 12. For the record, I vote Hez for commish.

As someone who has already gone through the first year of law school, I would advise Hez against taking on commish duties. However, if he thinks he can handle it, I'm fine with him being the commissioner of this league and think he'll do well.

A couple more things: 1. Ozi, I still want to play our game. A farewell game lol. I'll be around after 10 PM EST tonight. 2. I do seriously encourage everyone to join forums.traditionsportsonline.com/ if you like sports gaming and want to join leagues for other games. There are over 2500 members (10 madden leagues and 35+ NCAA leagues) on the site and basic membership is free (a year-long membership for a premier account is $12.99). I got heznfire into the PS3 fifa league a couple months ago and I think he can vouch for the legitimacy of the site. |

I have been informed that I'll be officially taking over commissioner duties for this dynasty tonight. As it has been said by many, Redwings has been a great commissioner, and I will do my best to run the dynasty as well and as smoothly as he has the past 13 months. Despite being one of only two remaining original members of this dynasty -- you better not drop out on me, Jank  -- I believe this dynasty will run strong for quite awhile. As I noted and Beef added, I'm currently in my first year of law school, which will consume most of my time. However, I will give this dynasty the attention it deserves. If I feel that I cannot devote an adequate enough time to my duties as commissioner, I will step down and appoint someone else. But I don't expect that to happen. I plan on running this dynasty in the exact same fashion as Redwings. We will continue using the same difficulty levels, sliders, and sim-style rules that we've become accustomed to. There are a few things I'd like to note: 1. As I've previously noted too many times, I will finally have my internet installed on Wednesday afternoon. I will advance to Week 3 after my game against Jank has been completed. I'd like us to try to advance at the rapid pace we had in Season 1, but I understand that will be difficult now that football season is about to begin. 2. With Redwings departing, we will need to find a 12th player to replace him. While Redwings has informed me of a few options to find a new player, if any of you know someone who would be interested in joining us, please PM me. I have no intention to pause the dynasty in the meantime, so I hope we can find someone soon. 3. There will be a prize for winning the annual Conference Challenge. However, unlike NCAA '12, the teams of the winning conference will be awarded one extra scholarship, not three, for the following year. This change will take effect this season. If you have any questions or concerns, please PM me. And, of course, Go Blue! Beat Bama! |

It's sad to see you leave redwings. But I do understand why your leaving.
I've been in your league/playing with you since NCAA'11. You were a great commish over the last few years.
Thanks for all the fun while being in your leagues over the years. It was great!!!!
