| Game Simulations Has anyone seen this site? It's really cool. You can pick any sport and choice two teams to go against each other. Who was better then 1972 Dolphins or the 1985 Bears? Well you pick those two teams and sim the game...see who wins. It doesnt have College Football though, but give it a shot. Great time waster for lunch breaks at work.  I just replayed the 85 Finals between Georgetown and Villanova. This time the Hoyas won! 81-77 whatifsports.com Last edited by rmjvol : 03-09-2006 at 02:10 PM.

| Re: whatifsports.com Cheers all, May i concur that whatifsports.com is brilliant? I was obsessed with tabletop baseball in my youth (By the way, did anyone catch the Strat-O-Matic in Spike Lee's Crooklyn?) and computer games today precisely for this reason. To hell with playing some meaningless game between the Devil Rays and the Brewers in August. I want the 1927 Yankees vs. the 1976 Reds! I want Bo taking Walter Johnson deep! I want Josh Gibson getting his due against any pitcher the MLB has ever produced! I want Koufax smoking it inside against Bonds, Jeter and A-Rod! But i digress. I love this site. Once i set up the Air/Pippen/Worm Bulls against the Kareem/Magic/Michael Cooper Lakers in a best-of-seven. And in game one, Luc Longley is the game's high scorer, taking it to Kareem for 29 points and 13 boards -- the best game he never played by far. (Gotta give props to my alma mater mates Luc and Coop, forever silver-and-cherry red blooded Lobos!) Bulls won in five. Have i mentioned i love the site? I love the site.

 Re: whatifsports.com WhatIfSports.com and Gridiron Dynasty I started playing on the WhatIfSports ("WIS") website a month ago and play Gridiron Dynasty ("GD"). For those who might consider WIS and GD - do not do it. The customer service is the worst I have encountered in all my year's of online gaming. The GD game itself is a good concept with average production values. However, there are a number of issues within the game. There are numerous minor bugs within the simulation engine itself, but they are easy to get past. The GD game consists of eight different worlds. Each of the eight worlds are staggered in regards to when the season begins so if you want continous play multiple worlds makes that possible. This is where the problem begins. WIS uses the same recruits in all their worlds rotating them from one world to the next. In my second season in World 1, I was recruiting the same players who were college juniors on my team in World 2. To make the problem worse the player's characteristics are identical and they progress through their careers the same every time (with slight variations related to how you focus their practice time). I sent in a "help" ticket to WIS and this is the response I received, "Recruits are randomly generated each season and when players graduate they are deleted from the game. There is no recycling and any similarities you see between recruiting classes is purely coincidental. As anyone with any programming knowledge can attest, there are no truly random sequences and sometimes overlaps occur. Thanks for your kind feedback." I gathered some additional evidence and sent them examples of the problem and WIS said, "I’m sorry that you do not accept the explanation given on how the system works. Thanks." I pulled another WIS customer's comments regarding WIS and its customer service and development team, "JCONTE and the crew at GD have programmed another half-baked piece of functionality and then use a delightful combination of laziness and arrogance to jam it up our behinds. These guys don't care what the feedback is from the paying public. If they did, they'd have to tweak their programming. Look at the comparative volumes of releases in HD (Hoops Dynasty) versus GD. The HD feedback loop is responsive and improvements are made on the basis of its input. GD on the other hand is run by a bunch of twats who couldn't give a s**t." Final word on WhatIfSports.com and Gridiron Dynasty - Don't do it - you will be disappointed and frustrated. |

The salary cap is cool, your rookie sometimes hold out and you have to negotiate with them...the amount of injuries can be regulated...you hire coordinators as well as coaches... The college draft is not bad...there is a spectrume of players...and their ratings are not as good as past versions for the lower rounds... There are also a bunch of leagues on line...I haven't joined one because of time...but its got a world all its own...even saw a USFL league out there... |
