It isn't damn well impossible, it IS impossible. It isn't because of 10 different opinions, it is because 4 of you have teams that if put on a non-capped scale would be 20-30 OVR points or better than every other team in the OD. There is NO slider set that exists to make the game playable in a situation like that because it has never and could never be tested. There are no sliders that make it so normal teams like the 7 other members of this OD have can compete with teams that are "99" across the board with a 3 deep of upper-90s players. There just isn't. The only slider tweaks that make it so the rest of us can actually accomplish anything on either side of the ball only serve to make it easier for the rest of you, defeating the purpose.
What is the point to this? Where is the end? Just play until everyone leaves again? Run off every other good users until all the remains is the 4 of you with 99 OVR teams (again)?
@bruin228 and I have very little difficulty beating anyone. When WE are the two saying just how unplayable this OD is, surely that should hold a little extra weight. I beat bruin by 5 touchdowns and his team isn't even that far behind mine, that's how drastic the differences between teams are. I've never had any problems being the undermanned team in an OD, I prefer it, but this isn't about being undermanned it is having the deck artificially stacked against you beyond recovery. No amount of time, slider or setting changes will fix that.
More than that, what on earth is the point of this when many of us only have 4 user games to begin with? If the whole point is user v user play and we 1) Have very few user v user games and 2) Those games aren't fun, what is the point? This is the most absurd thing. Are the four of you seriously having fun with this? You built up these teams against minimal user v user competition and made it so ANY users joining are immediately at a disadvantage. Is that fun? Most of you are beating the CPU by 7 touchdowns every week in between the rare user game which you dominate unless it is against another one of the 99 OVR teams. A couple of you are straight up exploiting the CPU for purposes of individual awards, which doesn't shock me because no one seems to care about enforcing the rules either. What possible enjoyment can you be getting out of that?
Just some thoughts. I can't rationalize the time spent on this OD. I know the rest of you see what the problem is and know that there is absolutely no way to fix it. The solution should NOT be "oh well, fuck it, works for us everyone else can deal with it." That's absurd. We're all adults here, surely we can think of better solutions. If you guys want to continue the OD for your recruited players, why don't the four of you do that separately and then do another OD where the user v user games are actually meaningful and competitive? The 4 of you are going to be all that is left in this OD before long anyway, I bet you guys could rip through a season every 3 weeks without any difficulty and continue that OD until the end of time. While we actually have a good set of users interested in playing, why not have an OD where the users involved are actually enjoying it and actually able to play each other?
