Madden '25 PS4 Season 2 CCM Thread: Now with 75% less Madden talk!

sorry broham :(

this is why i took the poll at the end of last season and wanted to have 28+ to do another year. then we have it and a few people quit or don't show up and then we're back to playing a handful of CPU games which really drags the league down.

on one hand it's frustrating when people commit to something and then bail. on the other hand this isn't a job and if playing the game is a chore for someone i guess i can't really blame them for quitting. i hope we can get through the season and finish it without totally throwing the season in the crapper. i've had some great games this season.... when i have human opponents!

Sorry, McNeils. I've never bowed out, but I couldn't deal with the bullshit anymore. Didn't join to play ranked style Madden.

you would have quit after i thrashed you the honest way.... with a superpowered team!

Shit. I didn't actually mean that to come off as sarcastic. I don't mind playing a CPU here and there in this online franchise. I somehow enter the game with more confidence then I do against a human (yet the latter is still more enjoyable). Hell, I may even come out with a win and a better record!

But I wouldn't have minded playing Rors again after doing the dumbest thing in Madden history last season.

Great. Lost to the CPU.

Seems like they always have the perfect defense for my offense. Damn, and I was in second place too. :\

Oh shit. What happened?

Damnit I guess I dropped connection "removed due to network time out"

Great. Lost to the CPU.
You are supposed to keep starting those games over until you have an insurmountable lead.

I really don't understand how some of these runs are possible.

Wellington is a god.
 
You would have been beaten handily just like in Marvel.

Couple of things I do in general and I did that game:

1 - I practice running the ball a lot between games. It helps me be patient and wait for plays to develop

2 - All of my blockers have high AWR. IMO it helps them find who to block when in space.

3 - My entire OL has high STR. It keeps holes open longer allowing me to squeeze through areas that are already normally closed for most people

4 - I take what you give me, I saw you were stuffing the middle runs with Suh so I started going outside with some inside to keep you honest.

5 - I put my backup high strength RT Geoff Schwartz at TE to keep Spencer from blowing plays up.

I love running the ball. I think it's a science.

Couple of things I do in general and I did that game:

Well I'm glad there is a well thought out strategy to it on your part at least. Obviously it's really paying off for you. I really need to figure out what it is I'm good at and start to practice that. Problem is I have so many weak areas it's hard to figure that out. I always end up just getting really frustrated and end up blowing every offensive possession I have.

I feel like my defense is usually pretty solid Suh was a HUGE add for me and has really boosted my run and pass rush. But any decent player is going to find a wide open WR somewhere. I just can't seem to do that. It's pretty disheartening that I've been in the league for 3 years and still only have enough wins to count on one hand not counting CPU games.

Wow, a PUNT...never seen one of them before.

This game would be 28-6 if I didn't get lucky with the end of the half.

Fucking bullshit pick there

He wasn't near it and then just left his man and sucked it up. The others were bad throws, that as just bullshit.

GG
24-6 and I got super lucky at the end of the first half...

Your DB's annihilated me.

(EDIT)
Giving you one more chance at a pick :)
 
Gg mark. Your screen game + 2 back formation destroys me.

Abused my safety whenever I brought him too far in the box to deal with it :(


Willing to trade Welker for a high rls possession receiver!

Decided to finally try the beta for PlayStation Now.
PS3 is using wireless connection, but so far so good with Sniper Elite.

Kind of surprised it's so smooth.
