The Virtual 2020 Purdue Season Starts TONIGHT

The votes are in and you readers have decided to start the virtual 2020 Purdue season played on Playstation 3’s NCAA ‘14 tonight. Since I am covering the Zionsville at Westfield game i won’t be getting home until around 10pm, so by the time I write my story it will be 10:45-11pm by the time i can get the Twitch stream up and running.

As a reminder, the game will be live on the Hammer & Rails Twitch Stream. Here are the general parameters for the game I’ll play:

• 7 minute quarters - Five minute ones are too long and 15 take forever. 7 minutes is a good balance because I don’t work the clock down anyway.
• All-American Difficulty Level - I wanted some realism here. I was a little rusty with this and tried to practice the other day and immediately threw four first half interceptions with Jack Plummer because I selected the wrong playbook and wasn’t familiar with my usual routes.
• Purdue Playbook - Not going to go with the generic spread. Just going to go with the Purdue one originally in the game in 2013.
• Opposing teams also have accurate 2020 rosters - That’s what makes this fun. The roster file has the other teams too and the skill levels for each have been adjusted.

See you tonight!
