Projection updating issues

[SmoovJello 0]

Hey Mike,

 

I haven't attempted to update things on my home computer as of yet but I'm suffering from some problems updating projections on my work computer. I've downloaded a fresh copy of the Compiler so I doubt that is the issue. Below are the top 15 QBs "straight out of the box" and then after the projections have been updated.

 

Before update

1 1 Peyton Manning IND 6 433.5 1.12

2 2 Carson Palmer CIN 5 365.3 3.05

3 2 Marc Bulger STL 9 355.5 4.07

D 4 2 Drew Brees NO 4 349.7 4.03

U 5 3 Tom Brady NE 10 345.3 3.09

6 4 Eli Manning NYG 9 324.6 10.01

7 4 Tony Romo DAL 8 322.1 8.04

8 4 Jon Kitna DET 6 321.5 6.07

D 9 4 Vince Young TEN 4 318.7 8.09

10 4 Matt Hasselbeck SEA 8 318.1 6.05

11 4 Michael Vick ATL 8 310.4 9.08

12 4 Donovan McNabb PHI 5 309.0 4.12

13 5 Philip Rivers SD 7 298.1 7.08

14 5 Brett Favre GB 7 286.3 11.03

D 10 3 Tyler Thigpen ® MIN 5 316.4

12 4 Eli Manning NYG 9 295.3 9.10

13 4 Vinny Testaverde FA - 286.3

14 4 Philip Rivers SD 7 277.3 7.06

15 5 Cleo Lemon MIA 9 273.0

 

I've been using CC/DB for the past few years and this is the first time I've ever had any issues with it...suggestions?

Hey Smoov. Did it appear to run through all the steps as shown on the update tab?

 

Sometimes it can happen where the connection to the web server gets slow and then Excel/Compiler quits the update process, which can result in funny results, although usually Testaverde lands as the #1 QB. Running the update again will fix this.

 

I'm not entirely sure that is what the problem is in your case, but its worth trying as a first best guess. I just ran the update myself and it worked okay.

Thanks for the attempted help there Mike.

 

I tried things out from home last night and everything went fine. I believe that the issue at work stems more from a firewall or some such than any problems with CC/DB.

 

On a side note...the Dixie Devils, GameDay Geeks (GameDay Ritual) Champions from 2005, went on to a different league for the 2006 season. When the smoke cleared at the end of the year, the Devils had felled another opponent and taken the Championship of the Semi-Tough League with a 12 - 2 record. Now with both of those titles under my belt I've been invited to participate in a GDR Championship League and to chronicle things on their blog throughout the season (GDR Championship League Blog). The FAB starts in a little over 2 hours and I have my trusty Draft Buddy to help steer me along.

 

Let's go Cthulhu Cadre!!!

Nice job Smoov! Geez, you've really got the hang of GDR. Only problem though:

 

Due to limitations of GDR to only display active leagues though, you would be unable to see that this is not the first championship that Dixie has claimed. In 2005 the Dixie Devils managed to impale the Leaside Lobsters on the preverbial fork on their way to the GameDay Geeks title.

 

Since from your first sentence I know you have no evidence to support the claim, I deny that your second sentence actually occurred

 

snap, snap, snap go the Lobsters

The closest I can get to an admission...

Congrats Smoov! Damn, what a game. I wasn't that worried about Coles going into the game. As soon as Vinny tossed that second TD that was the exclamation mark. I suppose it was over earlier. The live scoring didn't include Vilma all night.

 

If I'm going to play in this league again someone is going to have to explain the strategy part, like I'm a 5-year old... A lot of last night on live scoring I outscored you on offense, defense and special teams, but was losing thanks to a net -16 on the play calling

 

Unfortunately, this result has been pretty indicative of most all my leagues this year in the playoffs, so I'm kind of used to it by now
