GG Smokey. I'm salty as fuck- not at you but at the game. It ignored any sense of directional passing on two of your picks which was infuriating and those all-pro angles on two of the big TDs. Meh!

Looks like I'm a wildcard team!

You always were!

 

[Rbk_3]

rbk, I'm pretty sure we play this week. I should be able to play shortly after the games tonight if that works for you.

What’s your eta?

Edit gonna have to bail, ita getting to late for me. I work all weekend so feel free to take the CPU. I’ll go on auto

I brought Watson back 2 weeks early and that was the worst QB Draw I've ever seen. Completely forgot that he was hurt and I guess it effected his running.

 

[brentech]

I tried to rejoin the next day. Couldn't. So I deleted the ap!

it doesn't give a full time stamp, but you were unbanned shortly after. if you couldn't log on, it was something else stopping you.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

idk, you probably have to invite or something.

Just do me a favor and don’t ban me the next time Greg starts talking sense into you people

Sorry man. That game was way longer than I thought it would be. I'll be home in 5 if there's any chance you're still up.

 

[McNei1y]

You would think being a DC fan I’d learn how to take losing well.

I can't tell which DC you're talking about, but they all take Ls, so I guess it's appropriate either way.

I hope Mexico wins the cup so Trumpers rage

¡Viva México!

 

[McNei1y]

All DC. We have 69 losing seasons without clinching a conference title so that's nice I guess.


I'm all for rooting for Mexico.

 

[JABEE]

Jabee, I play you. Umm, I can't even think of a time. Tonight I'll be busy sweating out Game 5. What's your schedule like

I can play whenever. Let me know if you can play tonight at like 10pm? We can play now if you want.

No worries man. I am on auto so feel free to play if you haven't already.

Can you play tonight?

Was that All Madden, FMT?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Was that All Madden, FMT?

No, all pro with pass covg and reaction set to 0

Nick Foles was wrecking shit. End zone int was me testing how dumb I could be.

2 end zone ints!

 

[brentech]

I think changing two variables at once is a mistake when testing. I have no idea what pass coverage to 0 would do. That should probably be left at 50 and then only play around with pass defense reaction time.

 

[Smokey]

Does anybody have Direct TV 4k service?

MFs want $450 to move to two 4k compliant boxes (main receiver and 4k mini genie).

$450

 

[JABEE]

McNeily,

When can you play?

 

[Claude Dallas]

Is Ram still the Steelers?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Is Ram still the Steelers?

Luke said he quit. Though he never told me or posted in the thread

 

[Claude Dallas]

lol, just give me the win i guess

 

[Birdman02]

No worries man. I am on auto so feel free to play if you haven't already.

Not sure when advance is, but I'll try to knock it out tomorrow. If not, I'm fine with letting the sim gods decide.

 

[McNei1y]

McNeily,

When can you play?

My window is really thin but I could go now if you wanna get it out of the way? If not I gotta get out of here in about an hour so I can set myself on AP

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Greeeeeeeeg

also FMT I'm home all day if you wanna test out some sliders

 

[JABEE]

What is going on McNeily? Are you having internet issues?

2nd disconnect after the double delay of game.

Edit: 3rd disconnect in the first quarter.

No this isn’t me lol. I assumed it was yours.

 

[JABEE]

No this isn’t me lol. I assumed it was yours.

No it isn’t mine. This is the first time I’ve experienced a disconnect on Madden 18. Are the Madden servers down? Isn’t it peer to peer?

How long are you able to play?

 

[McNei1y]

Only had one issue previously with CB. Who knows. I’m set on AP so get some. Gotta get out of here in the next 20-30

My condolences.

 

[ph33nix]

Sanjuro, I think you're my next opponent after this week advances. I have a wedding to go to tonight but I should be back at a reasonable hour. I'll be pretty busy most of tomorrow though, but I'll be home tomorrow night too.

 

[DJ Bowser]

hi

Fam, we should play after the advance tonight!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I just woke up, so I'm ready to go if you are

 

[Greg]

Browns vs Jags

 

[Greg]

this lag is fucking god awful

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

gg greg, sorry about the lag, didn't have any on my end and you were already killing clock when I checked GAF :/

 

[DJ Bowser]

11pm EST or after if you care to. I promise no lag!

 

[Greg]

not your fault Madden is shit

11pm EST or after if you care to. I promise no lag!

yeah, late tonight should work unless something comes up

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Doing some quick testing with sliders, but my initial impression is that defenders are far more aware and make more breaks on balls with the Reaction and Pass Defense sliders set lower

 

[Sanjuro]

Sanjuro, I think you're my next opponent after this week advances. I have a wedding to go to tonight but I should be back at a reasonable hour. I'll be pretty busy most of tomorrow though, but I'll be home tomorrow night too.

What time is the vance at?

I'm sure we'll figure something out. Tonight I'd say is more play it by ear. Should be around late Sun and Mon for sure.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So, my take away is

AP is just more inconsistent with defensive ability, but lowering the sliders does have an impact on how defenders hold their zones and break up passes.

https://clips.twitch.tv/DreamyNastyRabbitPraiseIt

This is on max sliders (current), 100 reaction 100 pass coverage

......

https://clips.twitch.tv/CredulousCleverLemurBibleThump

This is on 0 reaction 0 pass coverage

Now, I ran this play because I noticed on our current sliders, the nickel corner was always completely going out of position on his coverage and would always get caught way out of his zone. I went back with 0/0 to this place and same coverage. On some plays, he is still out of position, but in general he is in a better position to cover his actual zone, instead of jumping to the flat like in 100/100 sliders.

People seem to be able to stick closer to their zone assignment when the sliders are lowered, following the route instead of being late to make breaks.

Here are the three little vids I made. I used a limited number of plays just so I could get a base line with all three different options.

https://go.twitch.tv/videos/182271314 (Current sliders, 100/100)
https://go.twitch.tv/videos/182273413 (0 Reaction Time, 100 Coverage)
https://go.twitch.tv/videos/182274892 (0 Reaction Time, 0 Coverage )

Edit: I'm gonna need to go back and do some more specific testing on 100 reaction and 0 Coverage

What an ending to that Astros game where's mug?!
