there are a few teams that are going to play this week, jets, rams, bills, broncos, panthers, saints, vikings, basically all teams still fighting for a playoff spot. the game of the week will be the jets vs rams.

here's the playoff scenarios for week 17

I knew the ones still in the playoff hunt would play. I was wondering which teams that had their positions locked up would still play.

Week 17

Miami vs Baltimore

Minnesota vs Washington

Detroit vs Tennessee

NY Jets vs St Louis

Cincinnati vs Philadelphia

San Francisco vs New England

Cleveland vs Houston

Green Bay vs Chicago

New Orleans vs Carolina

Pittsburgh vs Buffalo

Tampa Bay vs Arizona

Atlanta vs Seattle

Kansas City vs San Diego

Jacksonville vs Oakland

Indianapolis vs Denver

Dallas vs NY Giants - 42

We should make something like the top 5 make it to the playoffs or something. So whoever finishes in top 5 (for example), they would make it for the playoff picks, the others are just out and can do it for fun. This is the best way I can think of doing it.

It would be quite dumb if everyone joined in, it would mess up the competitiveness which this is.

What do you guys think?

I think last year we included the playoffs just like regular season except there would be a third report after the games were done for the week. You would have the overall score (regular season record + playoff record), the week score (record for the week), and the new report would be overall playoff score (record for the playoffs). The Neowin champion would be the winner of the year to date score (regular season record + playoff record). Tie breaker for the year to date would be the guess of the superbowl score.

For example:

Playoffs Round 2:

This Weeks Winner Is: jmole!

jmole..........................4-0 <---- Results from round 2 picks

Playoffs To Date:

jmole.........................7-1 <----- Results from round 1 + round 2 picks

Year To Date:

jmole.........................158-90 (+275) <--- Playoffs score would be added to this

Or if you want we could have a: Regular Season Neowin Winnner (don't add playoff picks to year to date), Playoff Winner (based off playoff picks), and Overall Winner (Regular season picks + Playoffs picks)

Edited by jmole
if we limit who can pick, then I think we should only allow the weekly winners to pick the playoffs.  if we don't limit who can pick, then jmole's idea works fine.

If you want to limit people to the playoff picks, then it should only be the people have participated all 17 weeks. Oh well, it should be up to boog to decide, he is running the show.

I finally found last year's thread, we could do it the same way: Link.

if we limit who can pick, then I think we should only allow the weekly winners to pick the playoffs.? if we don't limit who can pick, then jmole's idea works fine.

585192076[/snapback]

hehe.. haven't we all been the weekly winner atleast once? :laugh::

how about we combine both ideas and i'll add my two cents:

160+ wins and your in the playoffs

reg season winner

playoffs winner

overall winner

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
