ESPN NFL EQ League thread...

Dskillz,I can play anytime tomorrow night or tonight? You set the time.
 
Ok thats cool.
 
thats fine, I had cut it to a two score lead just minutes before and was kicking onside kicks, I've got no problem with someone still scoring if the opposition is still trying.. Im either having a really hard time adjusting to EQ or the new update.. not sure which.

I think they went overboard with the new stats on the DB's.. when I went for it on 4th and you were in a punt return Defense and I sent Driver on a deep route and somehow your guy STILL broke up the pass I was a little pissed. The rest of my trouble was me going for routes that used to work that dont anymore or my O-line going into retard mode.

Also, I guess it doesnt hurt as much with EQ on, but McKenzie isnt on the Packers in this update. Being one of the better defensive players on the team, that really sucks.. I guess its due to his holding out on his contract till the last second.

Anytime you went for it on fouth, I called TO and changed the defense.....

You use an empty backfield way too much. That = sacks if you don't hot block....

PS: You gave up on the run too early and you went for some bad 4th downs (down just 13-0 in your own territory O_o)
 
Well my copy of Fable came in today,so I'm goin home to get it and play it...I'll be free all of tomorrow and Sunday,so whenever Malley,just let me know.
 
No, most of my o-line probelms were the result of guys pulling off the line as though they were run blocking.. I had O-lineman peeling off and letting guys through so that they could head to the other side of the line to block... which is what happens on all of my Power-O runs. They were doing it with an empty backfield however... the Packers have one of the top O-lines in the NFL and they still go into retard mode at times.

As far as giving up on the run.. I did give up a little early but most of it was because I saw massive holes in your defense.. but the DB's recover much quicker now and broke most of them up. I still cant decide if they recover TOO fast yet, and their tackling against RB's still sucks.

Those "holes" are my zone defense, dude. Primarily passing doesn't work too well against me (I lead the main league with 30 ints in 10 games :lol)

Thanks I know what a zone defense is.. I was a wide reciever for 10 years of my life (If you let me count Pee Wee). To be fair I didnt actually get the ball much because we were an option/modified wishbone team so I was much more of a downfield blocker most of the time (I grew up in one town, we ran the same offense from Pee Wee football through High School), but I still no how to read a defenses cover package (well, after the ball snaps, I allways fall for disguised blitz's or zones before the snap). Radomness: We had a play in the playbook that called for an end around where I threw the ball to the QB after a fake slot reverse to the opposite WR. We only ran it ONCE and they put in the JV QB in my position to do it.. tellegraphing your trick plays never works.. it was intercepted.

I was calling slant routes or come backs over the middle as well as a few wheel routes that were specifically attacking the gaps in the zone. By the time the ball got there my guy had been bent over by one guy and summarily raped by another. In the case of the slant routes about half the time my guy got bumped off his route and just started running some other route.. I think the DB's needed to be fixed (especially their speed) but they need to improve route running as well. I had guys turning the wrong way on comeback routes, and had one player on a stop and go that stopped and then didnt go.

(In fact, at one point I called a crossing route over the middle with my two TE's (I was in Jumbo) and they ran into each other).

At the same time, the zone still lets people get behind it. Zone or not, if you are a saftey NO ONE gets behind you. I had several big plays towards the end where your Safteys would just let Chatman (CHATMAN!) get by them. However, they can now run the WR's down from behind so it didnt result in a TD (another big complaint, even on what SHOULD be a TD pass DB's can come from 10 yards back to catch a WR).

Oh fuck, I understand that. I had an absess not oo long ago and I was out for a week. real life is superior to cyber life. take care of that molar, that is the important thing.
 
I was beyond fucked up..sorry guys.I had to have a top wisdom tooth removed during the weekend and was still feeling shitty from that..when GOD said let MATRIX HAVE THE STARRING ROLE IN THE PASSION OF CHRIST.... another bottom molar starting going and I cant take pain relief meds cause of my Ulcerative Colitis and was not able to get into the dentist to do the root canal over the weekend,so I literally felt like I was dying.I just had the root canal done yesterday which was fucking hell cause my mouth was already sore from taking out the top wisdom tooth :(

I havent been able to sleep ,eat etc for days and feel pretty shitty.I will play tonight if I can :( If for some reason I cant,of course give Dskillz the win,but I think by tonight I will be good to play *knocks on wood*

I can play now. You probably will win anyway since I haven;t played in about a month, lol
 
Konex,just give him the win...I know it fucks with stats and shit,but just do it this one time.
 
Matrix, I sent you an awesome trade offer that works for both of us. Check it out. The only non-third teamer in the deal is my wideout but I'm stacked at that position :D

I'll also accept your trade tomorrow,its pretty good for both of us.
