Casual Madden PS4 league openings
- Thread starter The_Almighty_Swan
- Start date
Player of the Game:
Runningback Arian Foster lead the charge for the Texans, compiling 153 rushing yards and a TD.
Game Notes:
Ryan Fitzpatrick plays against his former team for the first time and faired "well."
He threw a touchdown and had a high completion percentage while throwing for under 100 yards.
He didn't need to do much to help his team win because the Bills didn't seem to want the ball the whole game, turning it over 4 times, all 4 interceptions from EJ Manuel.
The Texans only needed their offense to put the ball in the endzone 2 times, their defense did the rest.
Arian Foster broke off a big run of 82 yards.
Sammy Watkins continued his stellar rookie campaing, catching 7 balls for 113 yards and a a Touchdown, practically accounting for all of the Bills offense.
This looks like a game that could have been more competitive had the Bills held onto the ball.
Player of the Game:
Reggie Wayne caught 7 balls for 88 yards and a score.
Game Notes:
This game was simmed, I ain't doing any notes on it!
Player of the Game:
Frank Gore carried the ball 26 times for 111 yards and a score. Impressively, he only had a long of 11 yards. Very consistent game.
Game Notes:
I believe this game was also simmed so I won't do notes for it. However if it was played and I'm an idiot just yell at me (and I still won't do notes).
Player of the Game:
Jimmy Graham is the clear cut winner here. Trust me if I could give it to no one, I might have (sorry, my bias against both these teams might be a bit transparent during this recap). Graham had 8 catches for 111 yards and a Touchdown.
Game Notes:
Neither team deserved to win this one.
Brees somehow got away with throwing 14 interceptions. Sorry that was a typo, I meant 4 interceptions.
Pierre Thomas ran the ball 17 times for 48 yards. That was not a typo. My fat ass could have a better average than that out there.
The BOYS faired no better, Murray ran the ball 6 times for an abysmal 10 yards.
Dez Bryant caught a touchdown, Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown.
Shayne Graham kicked two field goals and Dan Bailey kicked one, like an idiot.
The end.
Player of the Game:
Rob Gronkowski ("Gronk") caught 7 balls and made the most out of them, going for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Game Notes:
The Patriots show no signs of slowing down, now at (4-0).
Shane Vereen had a strong outing, with 131 yards and 1 touchdown, showing that he can get it done without his counterpart Ridley (although Ridley is now coming back? Who can follow this nonsense.)
Jamaal Charles had a strong game, if you consider 8 yards and a touchdown to be a strong game. It was the lone touchdown the Chiefs had so I'm going to call it a strong game.
The Patriots Defense dominated, creating three turnovers and keeping the Chiefs offense to 133 total yards.
Joe Mays had maybe the best overall game for the Chiefs, with 10 tackles, similarly Derrick Johnson had a fine defensive outing with an interception and a sack (I'm really reaching for positives here Chiefs, sorry.)

That's all for me this week, folks, hope you enjoyed the recaps!
Good luck to everyone in week 5!

KK the destroyer beat me. I quit. I'm out of the league. He won even if it didn't show it.
Good luck everyone.
Good luck everyone.
You can quit the league if you want, that's fine, but not finishing your game with KK was kind of dick move. Now he's either gotta beat the CPU or hope his team wins a simmed game.
Not that you're likely to come back to the thread to see this since you just quit...

The guy that quit, what was his record?
I've already accepted the fact that I'm probably not getting 4 wins this season.
Sent the saints a friend request but I don't think he's been on lately.

He was 3-1 before the loss. Hey I'm in another league right now that I'm 0-7 in. Losing happens. I've been down this road before and it's funny what a draft pick or two and free agency can do to a team. Every year it's usually different division winners because the lower tier players learn a lot and adjust quickly after each season as they add pieces to their team and go into multiple seasons in an online league. Just stay positive and learn from each game man. Save your scouting points till the final weeks of the regular season where you'll have a better idea of what you wanna really fix on your team.
WTF man? If I quit every time I lost with the Raiders it would have been a short season.
What if you need to fix everything? LOL

you guys let me know if you ever need a fill in!
49ers: djblue89 - PSN: djblue_89, let me know when you want to get our game in. Tonight works for me if you're able.
Also, I quit my Madden 08 PC league because I got tired of losing, so I can understand the frustration at a point. I made it through 3 seasons though, so I did alright!

Sounds like you guys got it figured out, but just an FYI disconnects are covered in the OP.
Although I don't completely follow how the last rule works, and that's the one that would have applied here.
Swan are you saying that in their case he should have restarted the game against a CPU opponent and accept whatever the result might happen to be in that game? Would suck to loose that game against the CPU...

I'd rather sim the game than play the CPU, better chance of me winning. Sucks cause I think my bye week is next.

Vikings @ Packers
Player of the Game;
RB Andrew Hale might be the running back the Packers have looked for all year. with 31 carries for 159 and 3 touchdowns, Hale was the spark the Packers offense needed to get this close victory against their divisoon rivals

The Vikings got helped mightily by an INT returned for a touchdown, but were bale to do things offensively against the pathetic Packers defense

The Packer had 4 4th down conversions including a 4th and 20 conversion in the fin al drive of the game
Teddy Bridgewater had a very good game, with 174 passing yards and 2tds along with a qb rating of 114.8, he definitely showed he should be the starting QB for the Vikings

Player of the Game;
WR Dez Bryant gave the cowboys exactly what they needed, a solid target that didn't rturn the ball over. Dez had 11 catches for 102 yards and a TD.

This game had only 15 points despite having over 400 yards of total offense combined by both teams
The Lions had 3 turnovers and still won despite not getting a turnover from the Bills
Both teams were fairly evenly matched

EJ Manuel had a decent game, with 201 yards and no ints, but did not lead his team to a TD
Josh Freeman had a rough first game throwing for 165 yards, 3 int's and 36.2 WB rating. when asked after the game why he struggled so much, he said quote "I had a glob of Taco Bell Nacho Cheese on my hand throughout the game. I wanted to keep it there so i could enjoy it later."
FB Jed Collins ffor the Lions looks like a country singer from the 70's
Calvin Johnson was once again the most dominant player on the field catching 8 passes for 108 yards.

Ashlee Palmer had 6 tackles including 3 TFL

Nate Freese and Dan Carpenter scored all of their teams points
The Lions did not punt
Ravens @ Colts
Player of the Game;
SS Desmon Southward had a good game agains the hapless Ravens. He had 2 tackles, and int and 2 pass deflections and was in Flacco's mind all day
Interesting Notes;
We have our first rage quit of the year. The Ravens decided to have their OMG I HAVE THE DOWNS moment of the year, and apparently their team played so badly it led to their owner "cartridge blower" to ragequit the season. We will now brand him as a looser and harass mods until they change his tag to "I ragequit in a Neogaf Madden League despite my team having a winning record"
There were 8 total turnovers in the game, 5 of which came from the Ravens
The Ravens only managed 111 yards and only 16 rushing yards
The Ravens did not convert a 3rd down
The Ravens owner ragequit in the second half leading to a only 15 minutes being played
Andrew Luck had a decent game, with 178 yards passing and a TD, he needs to cut down on his turnovers
Joe Flacco had 103 yards passing and 4 ints. His qb rating was 14.1
The Ravens only ran the ball 3 times
Trent Richardson had a solid game but fumbled 2 times
Terrel Suggs had 2 sacks and was the leading tackler for the Ravens
god knows how many turnovers there would've been if they played the full game
It's really hard to do these stats when half the game needed to be played still, but still, it goes down as a W for the Colts
We will all have that moment where our team plays awfully for no reason. Make surte to eath at least 4 turduckens before playing to not recieve the wrath of madden, and if you lose 1 game, it's not that big of a deal. You will be upset, but come on guys, it's all for fun.
Steelers @ Jaguars
Player of the Game;
RB Le'Veon Bell despite only carrying the ball 15 times, still managed an impressive 115 yards rushing and a TD
Interesting Notes;
This game was fairly innocuous, no one player really stood out in this game
The Steelers had a balanced offensive attack, having 147 yards passing and 114 yards rushing
The Steelers only converted 3 3rd down conversions, the Jaguars had 6
The Jaguars had a higher TOP then the Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger had a solid game, throwing for 147 yards and a TD. His qb rating was 99.4
Blake Bortles also had a decent game throwing for 123 yards. He had a qb rating of 75. Unfortunately, he fumbled twice for the the 2 lone turnovers
No one caught more the 48 yards in this game
both teams passed to 6 different receivers
Lawrence Timmons had 4 tackles including 2 TFL
The Steelers scored 2 fumble recoveries for TDs
There were only 2 punts in this game
No response yet.. ? Why don't people check this thread. I'm so confused.
This goes to anyone who plays me, I barely turn on my ps4 for anything other than Madden, so if you're looking to play, just respond here or send a pm or whatever.
You don't need to switch on your PS4, just download the PS4 app to your phone and you get all the messaging services as if it were text chat. I believe I've organised all my games via groupme chat or PSN on my phone, and whilst I think you can get email notifications about PM's on neogaf it's obviously not as convenient.

Did you get my bros msg?
The logic just baffles me though. I'd rather not deal with all that other stuff. If you can check your phone for those apps, you can check this thread on mobilegaf to set your match. *shrug* oh well.
There are only 3 or 4 teams in the league who aren't in the groupme chat, and people are pretty much always talking about destiny, madden, or football. I wouldn't be surprised if a decent chunk of the league never even looks in this thread anymore and just assume whoever they're playing is in the chat. I know when you were playing the Pats, Big Boss kept trying to talk to you in the groupme because he didn't know you weren't there.
We have at least 4 different ways to communicate to set up times (This thread, GAF PMs, PSN messages, GroupMe). I don't think it's fair to try only one of those and then complain you aren't getting responses (That is assuming you haven't tried another way, if that's not the case, my bad). The same goes for your opponents, of course.
For DJBlue, you might have more luck messaging him on PSN, that's where I got ahold of him and we arranged our game

The Rams pass offense was absolutely dreaful today, only passing the ball for 93 yards
The Eagles dominated in the run, rushing for 173 yards total, they only passed for 102 yards total
BJ Daniels struggled for the first time this year. His 43.2 qb rating is by far the lowest, and his 2 int's is a season high. Maybe the young QB is playing back down to earth
Nick Foles did not have a good game, passing for only 116 yards and with a QB rating of 62
The Rams did not run nearly enough for their team. They had a decent YPC, but did not capitalize when down early

Jimmy Graham caught 9 passes for 83 yards and 2 scores
Cameron Jordan had 2 sacks in the game
Champ Bailey had 4 tackles and 2 interceptions for a team that cut him irl
this game was simulated so who cares
Cardinals @ Broncos
Player of the Game;
TE Julius Thomas had a monster game with 8 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown and was one of the reliable targets needed for the Broncos to win this game
Interesting Notes;
Before the 4th quarter, this game was tied
The Broncos outgained the Cardinals by 142 yarss
Both teams could not run the ball at all
The Broncos still won despite committing 3 turnovers
The Cardinals only had 1 3rd down conversion

The Chiefs had 488 yards of total offense
Colin Kaepernick struggled mightily throwing only 242 yards and 1 int in the game
Jamaal Charles had 21 carries for 144 yards and a TD
This game was simulated so who cares
Jets @ Chargers
Player of the Game;
QB Matt Flynn has shown that he deserves to be the starter this year. He threw for 392 yards and 5 tds in this game of offensive prowess
Interesting Notes;
The Jets gained 483 yards of total offense
The Chargers did not convert a 3rd down the entire game
The Chargers won the TOP battle
Phillip Rivers played good for the first time this season. He threw for 209 yards and 3 tds. This might mean that the Chargers are on their way back
Chris Johnson had 11 carries for 99 yards including a TD
Eric Decker had 4 catches for 142 yards and 3 tds. The Caucasian Sensation had a strong game
Kenny Britt also had 5 catches for 152 yards and a TD
Antonio Gates had 8 catches for 80 yards and 2 tds
Both teams played like shit on defense
The Chargers punted 5 times
The Jets never punted
Bengals @ Patriots
Player of the Game;
HB Stevan Ridley had an absolute monster game. His 29 carries for 248 yards and 2 tds not only helped his team crush the Bengals, but also gave him the most dominant rushing performance of the season. This is despite playing 2 weeks for the Packers and then coming back to the Patriots on a trade

No receiver caught more then 42 yards
Andre Roberts had 4 catches for 42 yards and a TD giving him the most catches and the most yards for any player
Despite the low scoring game there was only 1 sack
Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor had 1 int each
Power Rankings
1 Patriots - The Patriots have been dominant in every single one of their games. We all knew that the Pats would be a machine offensively, but no one foresaw their defense, which has only given up 25 points in 5 weeks
2 Broncos - The Broncos looked locked in after a tough win against the Cardinals. Their offense has been a little slow at times, but their defense has played excellent all year
3 Bears - The Bears went from a team that people wondered why they were 3-0 to a team that has absolutely crushed its last 2 opponents. The Bears are the team to beat in the NFC right now
4 Saints - The Saints offense hasn't been there all year, but their defense has played beyond expectations. The Saints need to step up their offensive game to show they are the best team in the NFC
5 Steelers - The Steelers offense has been on ll cylinders, and this team might be the most dangerous team in the AFC. Watch out for this team going tdown the stretch
6 Cardinals - Despite losing this week, the Cardinals are still one of the premier teams in the NFC. The Cardinals offense layed an egg against the broncos though, hopefully this wont be a sign of things to come
7 Packers - The Packers won their game despite losing Aaron Rodgers for 5 weeks, but struggled mightily against the Vikings. Their team might have found a new offensive weapon in Andrew Hale though
8 Rams - The Rams have hit their first skid of the season, BJ Daniels played badly, and their team finally showed some type of weakness. We'll see what happens next week as they hopefully bounce back
9 Redskins - The Redskins had a rough home loss against the Seahawks, this could either be a sign that the Redskins are coming back down to earth, or that the Seahawks are coming back strong
10 Titan - The Titans might be the most inconsistent team in the league, but Locker has proven himself to be an elite QB in the first 5 weeks
11. Giants - Rashad jennings and the Giants are looking to catch up to the Redskins this year. Their offense and defense have both played well, but they need to be more consistent
12. Colts - Andrew Luck is playing like an elite QB, and the Colts are playing like they've done in previous years. Look for the Colts to break out in the 2nd half of the season
13. Ravens - Their loss of their owner Cartridge Owner might be a blessing in disguise or a change towards the worse. we'll see where this team goes after losing their leader
14. Chiefs - The Chiefs finally had the dominating performance against the 49ers their team needed. It was the first time all season their offense really exploded. Maybe they'll carry that momentum forward
15. Seahawks - The Seahawks had a huge win over the Redskins, but was that just a bad matchup for the run heavy skins. I wanna see this team going forward to see if they turned the corner
16. Buffalo Bills - The Bills are the only team with a losing record with a a +/- in the plus with regards to scoring., Their team needs to play more dynamically to get wins
17. Eagles - The Eagles have also been one of those inconsistent teams, but a dominating performance by them might lead them to change their losing ways
18. Cowboys - The Cowboys have a good wideout in Dez bryant, and a good RB in Demarco Murray. Romo needs to play a lot better for this team to stand a chance
19. Panthers - The Panthers offense has been disappointing, but so has their defense. The Panthers have given up 117 points already. Where was the dominant group that showed up last year?
20. Jets - New York has finally found their Starting QB as Matt Flynn has played ggood enough at times and incredible at others. Maybe the Jets Defense will finally step it up and play as well as Matt Flynn has
21. Jaguars - Despite Bortles struggling at times, the fact that this team is 2-3 is amazing and should be taken as a victory. This team has way too little talent to be winning games
22 Dolphins - The Dolphins might only have 2 losses, but they have not been that good this year. Hopefully we'll see their offense light up the Packers poor defense
23 Texans - The Texans really need to show that they are the team that went to the playoffs 2 years ago. Their defense and offense have both been fairly bad this year
24. Lions - The Lions defense has given up 130 points, but maybe their time is coming. They had a dominant performance against the Bills, and i'd like to see them come out and play like that more often
25. Browns - The Browns had a little push forward once they got Eddie lacy, but it hasn't been enough for their bad defense. Manziel has been playing decently though
26. Vikings - The Vikings were leading in the 4tyh quarter in Green Bay, but even with incredible performances by both Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater, their defense let them down again
27. Buccaneers - Their loss against the Saints might be a good thing, they finally showed the heart needed to win games
28. Bengals - Andy Dalton has been absolutely dreadful this year. I would not be surprised if he gets cut at some point
29. Raiders - The Raiders offense has played so badly, which is a shame because their defense has been fairly good. If their offense can step up their game, they may be a good team
30. 49ers - Despite being wildly talents, the 49ers are having a dreadful year. Their offense and defense have both been dreadful this year. Out of all the teams in the bottom, this team has the biggest chance to turn it around, as they have the talent to win in this league
31 - Chargers Phillip Rivers had his first good game of the season, but it was not enough for this team. Many had high hopes going into the season, but the Charges have been playing way too conservatively this year
32 - Falcons - The Falcons have not only scored the least amount of points in the league, but also have given up the most points. it takes a special kind of struggle to accomplish that.

This message is brought to you by "Stevan Ridley will never win a Player of the week award despite dominating his game"
1 Patriots - The Patriots have been dominant in every single one of their games. We all knew that the Pats would be a machine offensively, but no one foresaw their defense, which has only given up 25 points in 5 weeks
2 Broncos - The Broncos looked locked in after a tough win against the Cardinals. Their offense has been a little slow at times, but their defense has played excellent all year
3 Bears - The Bears went from a team that people wondered why they were 3-0 to a team that has absolutely crushed its last 2 opponents. The Bears are the team to beat in the NFC right now
4 Saints - The Saints offense hasn't been there all year, but their defense has played beyond expectations. The Saints need to step up their offensive game to show they are the best team in the NFC
5 Steelers - The Steelers offense has been on ll cylinders, and this team might be the most dangerous team in the AFC. Watch out for this team going tdown the stretch
6 Cardinals - Despite losing this week, the Cardinals are still one of the premier teams in the NFC. The Cardinals offense layed an egg against the broncos though, hopefully this wont be a sign of things to come
7 Packers - The Packers won their game despite losing Aaron Rodgers for 5 weeks, but struggled mightily against the Vikings. Their team might have found a new offensive weapon in Andrew Hale though
8 Rams - The Rams have hit their first skid of the season, BJ Daniels played badly, and their team finally showed some type of weakness. We'll see what happens next week as they hopefully bounce back
9 Redskins - The Redskins had a rough home loss against the Seahawks, this could either be a sign that the Redskins are coming back down to earth, or that the Seahawks are coming back strong
10 Titan - The Titans might be the most inconsistent team in the league, but Locker has proven himself to be an elite QB in the first 5 weeks
11. Giants - Rashad jennings and the Giants are looking to catch up to the Redskins this year. Their offense and defense have both played well, but they need to be more consistent
12. Colts - Andrew Luck is playing like an elite QB, and the Colts are playing like they've done in previous years. Look for the Colts to break out in the 2nd half of the season
13. Ravens - Their loss of their owner Cartridge Owner might be a blessing in disguise or a change towards the worse. we'll see where this team goes after losing their leader
14. Chiefs - The Chiefs finally had the dominating performance against the 49ers their team needed. It was the first time all season their offense really exploded. Maybe they'll carry that momentum forward
15. Seahawks - The Seahawks had a huge win over the Redskins, but was that just a bad matchup for the run heavy skins. I wanna see this team going forward to see if they turned the corner
16. Buffalo Bills - The Bills are the only team with a losing record with a a +/- in the plus with regards to scoring., Their team needs to play more dynamically to get wins
17. Eagles - The Eagles have also been one of those inconsistent teams, but a dominating performance by them might lead them to change their losing ways
18. Cowboys - The Cowboys have a good wideout in Dez bryant, and a good RB in Demarco Murray. Romo needs to play a lot better for this team to stand a chance
19. Panthers - The Panthers offense has been disappointing, but so has their defense. The Panthers have given up 117 points already. Where was the dominant group that showed up last year?
20. Jets - New York has finally found their Starting QB as Matt Flynn has played ggood enough at times and incredible at others. Maybe the Jets Defense will finally step it up and play as well as Matt Flynn has
21. Jaguars - Despite Bortles struggling at times, the fact that this team is 2-3 is amazing and should be taken as a victory. This team has way too little talent to be winning games
22 Dolphins - The Dolphins might only have 2 losses, but they have not been that good this year. Hopefully we'll see their offense light up the Packers poor defense
23 Texans - The Texans really need to show that they are the team that went to the playoffs 2 years ago. Their defense and offense have both been fairly bad this year
24. Lions - The Lions defense has given up 130 points, but maybe their time is coming. They had a dominant performance against the Bills, and i'd like to see them come out and play like that more often
25. Browns - The Browns had a little push forward once they got Eddie lacy, but it hasn't been enough for their bad defense. Manziel has been playing decently though
26. Vikings - The Vikings were leading in the 4tyh quarter in Green Bay, but even with incredible performances by both Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater, their defense let them down again
27. Buccaneers - Their loss against the Saints might be a good thing, they finally showed the heart needed to win games
28. Bengals - Andy Dalton has been absolutely dreadful this year. I would not be surprised if he gets cut at some point
29. Raiders - The Raiders offense has played so badly, which is a shame because their defense has been fairly good. If their offense can step up their game, they may be a good team
30. 49ers - Despite being wildly talents, the 49ers are having a dreadful year. Their offense and defense have both been dreadful this year. Out of all the teams in the bottom, this team has the biggest chance to turn it around, as they have the talent to win in this league
31 - Chargers Phillip Rivers had his first good game of the season, but it was not enough for this team. Many had high hopes going into the season, but the Charges have been playing way too conservatively this year
32 - Falcons - The Falcons have not only scored the least amount of points in the league, but also have given up the most points. it takes a special kind of struggle to accomplish that.

Started off badly for me and got worse as it went on but I had a good run before the fumble I thought. Always seem to dawdle in offence when passing though. Cheers.
The other part that kinda sucked for you was today was the first game I have been relatively healthy all season.
