Madden seriously has to be cheating for DM.

After my brilliant defense puts me up 14-3, I am tearing up DM's defense with a dazzling array of running plays. Left, right, HB, FB, I gain probably over 70 yards on the ground on that drive alone. I says to myself, I says, "Wow, self, DM just shifted all his guys to the left, leaving the right wide open. I should hold the formation, but change my FB dive to a strong iso. Good call self. Woah hold on a second though, self, I know Tiki will fumble with my luck, I better hold my thumb over the Y button."

I hike the ball, run run run, see DM predictably switch to the nearest defender and wind up the hit stick hit. I jam on Y with the pressure at the center of ten million black holes. Tiki fumbles. It's rolling, almost out of bounds... stops at the 1 inch line just inside the field of play. Okay, my defense has gotten me 14 points so far, and only allowed 3. Surely, things can not go as horribly awry as they have gone in the past. Wrong, 4 plays 80 yards culminating with a 4,000 yard TD in which Joey Galloway blew by my DB like if he was the offspring of a Randy Moss and Terrell Owens forbidden love and alien fertilization also involving Chris Carter and Jerry Rice.

Okay... 14-10. My defense can still hold. I know he is going to pass so I play nickel cover 3 in order to disorient him and hopefully score the int. He completes to Galloway... and now, as has happened before, I completely BLOW the play and miss the tackle, allowing for a TD.

Okay 17-14. My offense was finally moving the ball, so I thought to myself, "Self, this should not be a problem." Except the game decides to give me just about 900 false start penalties causing me to go into 1st and 35. What am I to do after that, it was academic.

I've never seen such luck by anyone in any game ever. I executed my defensive gameplan flawlessly, and in that one drive that ended with a fumble, I executed the offensive plan I had wanted to all game. Another lucky win for DM.

:lol WTF!!

You are truly cursed against DM like I am cursed against FMT!


Although I don't know if any game will ever top the wackiness of my season 1 playoff game against FMT...ugh, I'm still pissed about that. :lol
 
0-12, never forget bob! you can't beat me! you are the early-mid 90's rams, and i'm the early-mid 90's niners! i predict a 21-0 record against you before my madden 2005 playing days are done. i feel sorry for you though, no doubt :)

He knows that fumble on the punt return my guy had with no one around him was absurd!

Last season it was Ram..this time we all are gunning for you DM!!!

These 5 words haunt me.

Ok....so it might be dead. Is it? You didn't show at 9-9:15, and since you've said this I don't want to wait around and come back in 1 hour. Post here and tell me what's up, and we'll play tomorrow. You tell me what time tomorrow evening....hopefully your xbox won't be "dead" :( I wanted to play this game.

I'll go off now, and check back tomorrow afternoon. Please tell me asap when you'll be on, since it's a pain in the ass for me to go on GA until my computer is fixed. Basically once you know what time is good tomorrow, post here. I feel your my Xbox gives me problems....as Matrix knows, but it hasn't died yet. Sometimes "Frankenbox" needs up to 10 power on/offs before it'll go without a DDE. She's a fighter!
 
Some stat updates for those who care. I know we were going to do individual stats, but it was too much of a pain and not enough people did it, so that was scrapped. Here are some interesting QB stats as they are reported on the site (i calculated the QB ratings with a QB rating calculator... ingenious i know):

QB Ratings:

M. Vick : 30/51, 485 yards, 4 TD's, 0 Int's, 116.8 Rating , sacked 6 times
C. Pennington: 84/159, 929 yards, 7 TD's, 3 Int's, 77.3 Rating, sacked 15 times
B. Griese : 104/206, 1,394 yards, 8 TD's, 6 Int's, 73.2 Rating , sacked 16 times
E. Manning : 130/232, 1,450 yards, 7 TD's, 7 Int's, 72.3 Rating , sacked 23 times
D. McNabb : 89/184, 1,273 yards, 10 TD's, 8 Int's, 71.2 Rating , sacked 15 times
B. Leftwich : 111/212, 1,328 yards, 7 TD's, 7 Int's, 69.1 Rating , sacked 21 times
M. Bulger : 120/220, 1,256, 10 TD's, 12 Int's, 63.8 Rating , sacked 15 times
K. Boller : 54/113, 1,030 yards, 3 TD's, 7 Int's, 62.9 Rating , sacked 4 times
P. Manning : 71/178, 1,163, 7 TD's, 6 Int's, 61.6 Rating , sacked 25 times
V. Testeverde : 65/120, 590 yards, 3 TD's, 5 Int's, 58.7 Rating , sacked 18 times
D. Culpepper : 66/170, 1,109 yards, 6 TD's, 15 Int's, 36.6 Rating , sacked 27 times
P. Ramsey : 42/153, 657 yards, 6 TD's, 15 Int's, 15.1 Rating , sacked 21 times






p.s. I realize stats didn't report for all games (i've had at least 2 games that didn't report, i know that ramirez has had 3 games that didn't, etc) so this isn't an EXACT count, but this gives you an idea of who is where as far as qb's go

Crap, well what should we do? I feel bad for you, but at the same time I really dont' want to get a tie...
 
Finally, I've been freed from the shackles of oppression and tyranny!

Bob, let me know when you can play, I'm free tonight. AIM is Atreides815.

Truelize, you got so freaking lucky in that game. I should've just run out the clock. That's alright though, it just means I'll have to go on a killing spree for the last half of the season and dominate everyone and earn my spot in the playoffs.

I don't have the url on this computer, but I remember seeing yesterday that we had 48 hours left. So I'm sure that it ends tomorrow, not today. Maybe someone can check for me, but I also recall that I was to face CK in the upcoming week. Seeing as how I've got festive stuff going on friday/saturday, the only real option is thursday >9pm (deadline)

So, assuming that's what's going down, tell me if that's ok, Wellie.

Oh yeah, and DM will have to decide what to do with my game with HG. I don't want a tie, because this division is going to be tight, but at the same time, I can't really argue that I deserve an auto win if the circumstances are beyond his control. :(

GG Dskillz...geez rain really fucks up catching in this game :| Both of us had like 15 dropped passes each.

I got some friggin lucky breaks,the key being that hit stick fumble which I was able to run back with Sanders for a td.

You were in cruise control until that.

I am really getting tired of this game. Maybe I should just stick too offline.

Which D was that against? The Bad News Bears?

You should have seen it. It was freakin ridiculous.

Now I'm not a very good Madden player at all. But I do fairly well against the run most of the time. But Dunn never once in that game ran into the back of a blocker, or did any "Mario-running" of any sort. It was just stupid. I zoned, I blitzed, I played man, I doubled Dunn. I even freakin played goalline defense just to see what would happen. Nothing worked. It was quite frustrating.

Didn't helped that I coughed up to kick returns in the first quarter. Yeah that was fun.
