    In retrospect, I should have taken the Vikes. My bad, @SammieSmith33.

    Thanks for the fun meet up!
    It was a really good time and great to hang out with some quality people.

    Top 5 moments of the Minny Meet-Up:
     
    1. @segathonsov and @SammieSmith33 simmed the entire regular season in order to call their matchup. They played the Super Bowl matchup that was simulated (RAI vs CHI) and played in regular season mode with injuries and season conditions and everything. Side Note: SF finished the season 8-8, lost the division to the Saints, and didn't make the playoffs...
     
    2. When John simply laid the controller on the ground and looked for his opponents reaction in the middle of a play after throwing his patented "back shoulder" to the end zone. It was a touchdown, and he knew it. Well played @qb_browns!
     
    3. My buddy, @RyanF actually winning a few games against some quality opponents! Maybe the light is starting to turn on???
     
    4. @8-bit telling me he's been scouting and watching game film on me. I certainly appreciate the level of preparation!
     
    5. Awesome to see @BasementNemisis's kids playing the game. Gotta recruit the next generation of Tecmoers!

    Some other great moments were:
     
    1. Winning 50 dollar bounty from Basement Nemesis.
     
    2. @Segathon getting denied at Tin Shed when asking for a Busch Light then responding by saying “How do you guys stay in business.” There was plenty of Champagne flowing.
     
    3. @VikingMoe not taking the Vikings when I chose Miami vs. Minnesota.  Totally took the funk out of my sail.  Just look at his name and tell me why he wouldn’t take the Vikings.  My nickname is SammieSmith33. My thinking I guess was way off. Just ridiculous.
     
    4. Losing to @QB Browns on a blocked punt in the round robin.  Yes a blocked punt! My buddy Tony taps me on the should while hitting a and the next thing I know Jon has the ball and kicks an easy field goal.
     
    5. Great seeing everyone.  It was a great spur of the moment Tourney.  Thanks to @8-bit for setting up.  Hopefully do another in March.

    Congrats to VikingsMoe for winning the meetup. QB Browns was hot beating Basement Nemesis and Sammie Smith and then lost to VikingsMoe on last play of the game and took 2nd. Thanks to everyone that showed up! See you all next time.

    Great idea!
     
    @8-bit  -- any updates on tournament date? I think I could make this Saturday work, or perhaps Sunday.  Will try to talk @QB Browns into hosting me and playing too.

    Hey, buddy!
    I think my brother and I would be interested, but we really need to know the date and time.
    HMU once you know the details and we can confirm then.

    You don't even have to take off your crimson colored glasses to see that AT LEAST Bo and Barry are better (not to mention every 63ms back as well).

     

    I may as well be arguing with a wall...

    vikingmoe02 reacted to segathonsov in Let's play: Which Team Would You Pick?   
    Bumping this Gem for anybody newer to Tecmo doing some last minute research.
     
    Also check out this great sheet that @bruddog for help calling match ups. 
    Last few tips for new guys coming
     
    - Does a team have a high interception DB that can Jump Pick the other QB?  I didn't know that a 63 rated INT Dback could jump pick QB's with 44 PC and lower when I first started playing.  Many INT's were thrown.  It can really shut down your passing game
     
    - If you find yourself being out tapped, don't initiate contact on D.  If you can dance in front for a little bit to get runner to do some jukes you should have Drone help coming.  If you come in right away, you'll get thrown into the cheerleader's lap and your opponent will zig zag to endzone.
     
    - If playing a high seed in group play call these 2 "garbage day"  match ups. SEA/NE  GB/CLE.  You will realize it's not a match up the other guys wants as they will probably sigh when they hear it.  You can let the bombs fly and get some covered catches without much fear of INTs.  Don't call awesome match ups like Bills /NYG.  The skill level of the top 40 guys in the tourney is crazy, they will carve you up like a thanksgiving turkey.  Need to give them a dull knife with those two matchups.
     
    See you all Friday.  Can't wait!

    vikingmoe02 got a reaction from Tundrayeti311 in LB4 Lurch Best Linebackers   
    Thanks for the LB post @High Noon Honeycutt!!
     
    Not sure about ranking, but I've found that a minimum Running Speed (RS) of 38 is necessary to consistently pull off the lurch. Remember that a player's RS is essentially their starting speed from a dead stop. Having 31 RS just doesn't work on a reliable basis (unless they go into good condition of course). Even if the LB has decent RP, it won't help much for lurching if the RS is below 38 in my experience.
     
    So for the OG rom, someone like the Giants' LB4 Carl Banks would be the floor minimum for the LB4 lurch. So anyone with his stats or better will be consistently good at it (i.e. Haley, Greene, Childress, Bennett, Fletcher, etc.). Meanwhile, someone like Philly's Seth Joyner, who is a solid LB4 very similar to Banks, only has 31rs despite other decent stats - hence cannot be relied upon unless in good condition or better IMO. If they have only 25rs, just forget about it.
     
    Keep in mind that only LT and DT have a RS of 44 in the game. Everyone else is 38rs or less. So if you're playing with the Rams and Kevin Greene goes into bad, he's no longer a reliable lurcher from his LB4 spot.
