Nah no reason to play again. In all honesty the TE corner is not a threat. That play works way less than it did in NCAA. I've seen some people run it as if they were trying to make it cheap but its still not an issue unless you're using Gates. We've tested it out with heap, shockey, crumpler, and gates and the only one that was just amazing at catching it over everyone else was gates. Crumpler had a few that were obviously bogus catches that the game just gives him because his stats are higher than some 5'9 db's. If anything its a legit play now. You just can't run zone on it or the corner route will tear you up if he rips it between the zone. I do agree the AI is garbage in this game all around. The lack of gang tackling still blows my mind as to how they still manage to leave out such a fundament part of the game. Having so many plays where the D gets ignored is a just shy of being enough problems as to start a riot at EA/Tiburon's door steps. I've never seen rudi johnson jump over a guy for a total of a 5 foot (distance wise) jump. I'm not saying thats it not possible that he can jump that far but what I am saying is that he can't jump 5 feet over a guy when 3 backers are standing there waiting on him while he teleports through them because his uber Vega style jump is invulnerable to any distress.
It's a joke. But anyway my 2 cents vote the TE corner not a problem. Getting hit on it once sucks because you realize your zone isn't as safe but getting hit on it twice... User swat? Sounds like it was a good game all the way though.

It was an honest mistake. This tournie is really my first time playing against legit competition, ever. I'm so used to just going with what works against the AI and I have a feeling a lot of it is stuff that's against rules. My passing in general sucks so far on Madden compared to where I was on PS2 NCAA. No worries, just means I need to spend more time in practice mode learning other plays.

Bah you're not used to it by now? I don't know how many 3 and ~21's I've held people to just to watch them get some BOGUS catch right on the First down line just to get knocked over the line for the first. Such bullshit. Thank you EA.

Ok..i wish you would show up nowMalleymal said:
...might go shoping with the fam when the misses wakes up...ummm...i'm off the weekend...will be busy during the day, but maybe late night would work best. I'm hoping for a MrBob victoly and an upset win by me to secure the rights to The Vick Experience.DCX
Now that I've had a night to sleep on it, I really wish I was still in this. I want that win. 
Not just because of how I lost but because I have been playing so well with the Falcons with this years game. I'm a Falcons fan before I'm a NFL fan. And I'm definetly not a GAF elite player so I've felt really good about the mooch-ball I've been playing and how well I've been defending. And now my chance to be the Falcons is gone. So sad.

I pulled one out against DM 31-28. He claims I never used the passing cone because he never saw it, I never recall seeing the cone whenever I play anyone online. Tell me I am not the only one.

Problem is I was using it! I can't see myself NOT using it after doing it so much last year. Only thing I do differently is that I tend not to switch my targets after the snap, and if I do I use the right stick instead of snap to since it is faster.

vision cone is going to be mandatory in league please from THE START OF THE PLAY. no turning it on after you have completed your drop back.
btw pre-season is starting this weekend (as early as tonight, as late as sunday)

the tournament is not done. however, because those players remaining in the tournament are either a) guaranteed teams or b) we have no duplicate teams issues, we can effectively begin the league.
i am giving rors a win against shogun because he has not shown up. i will be finding a replacement shortly unless rors confirms contact from shogun. he hasn't posted in this thread in a few days. again guys, and i know i sound like a broken record, i know everyone has a life, but if you are going to be gone without a trace for 5 days at a time you aren't going to work out for league play. this is not to say "rabble! you can't go anywhere for 5 days!" but if you are you need to contact your opponents. play ahead and let me know so you can submit the stats to me and i can enter them when the week advances. but to just take off, not post in the thread that you're going to be gone for X amount of days, that's not going to work. be advised!

i thought we had all agreed that whites would get the first picks, then we would group all non-whites together and they would pick based on letter of the alphabet that their ethnicity began with?? blacks win again!
Shogun hasn't been active since Tuesday on GAF and hasn't replied to my AIM messages yet.
...so...uhm...yeah...
Oh, and yeah, I use the cone all the time. Sometimes, the damn thing won't react to my selected receiver, but that's only happened for like 2 plays online. I <3 the cone.
