Madden Rookies Season 1 Official Thread: CFL, Watch Out!

GG, Air. Benson was unstoppable (shedding tackles like crazy), yet you decided not to use him much after a few attempts went sour.

Oh, man...after having no real star RB with the Raiders and no offensive line whatsoever, it was so liberating to run with Minnesota. That's actually why I chose them over the Favres. It was so amazing seeing AP do what I ask right when I push the buttons. Jordan and Rhodes are retarded in that regard.

Oh and sorry about the interruptions.... :( You're a great sport.

I wouldn't say unstoppable. But I see what you were saying. In the first game, he had 26 yards on 6 attempts. But whatever you were doing in the second game, he got shut down. Only 11 yards on 8 attempts, which included 1 run for 7 yards. So basically, 4 yards on 7 attempts. :| That's just poor. Then I started passing too much...and as we all know, passing + Rexy = bad combination.

I was happy to see some success passing in the middle though late in the game. Silver-lining, right!

Yeah, maybe my perception was skewed because it took several guys just to tackle him.


ChrisJames and...Fill in packer??? let me know when you can play.

yacobod, yeah, he's still around. He and vumpler were supposed to play on Thursday but they didn't. Where are you guys?

If you guys still need another team taken over I can fill in.

The owner of the Patriots should be back this week, which Ramirez has been filling in temporarily. If you and Ramirez want to duke it out for Green Bay, be my guests! :)

Wellie can have them, all of my time will be devoted to Halo 3 shortly, glad I could help out though.

You're on the east coast, right? I don't think I can make it that early....my son doesn't go to bed until around 8:30 cst. He's only 1, so I can't really get any gaming in when he's awake.

Yeah, I don't even want to think about what Halo 3 is going to do. :(

That said, Week 5 is open for those of us that care!

OK, let's go, guys! If I have to suffer playing with the TrainRex, you can suffer through a game too!

Week 2:
Tennessee (bonsevan) at Indianapolis (vumpler)...you guys going to play this?
Minnesota (Rorschach) at Detroit (ChrisJames)...Rorschach just took over Minny.
Chicago (AirBrian) at Green Bay (???)...waiting for a GB takeover.

Week 3:
Cincinnati (Drey1082) at Pittsburgh (Maverick66)...???
Green Bay (???) at New Orleans (corey f baby)...waiting for a GB takeover.

Week 4:
Buffalo (LJ11) at Pittsburgh (Maverick66)...???
Cincinnati (Drey1082) at Indianapolis (vumpler)...???
San Diego (yacobod) at Tennessee (bonsevan)...bonsevan, what's up?
New Orleans (corey f baby) at Philadelphia (Andokuky)...corey f baby, what's up?
Atlanta (DCX) at San Francisco (Birdman02)...you guys are working on it.
Green Bay (???) at Minnesota (Rorschach)...waiting for a GB takeover.

Looking at the list, it's not as bad as it seems. Still, not much for excuses as we have 4 methods of contact. To those having trouble getting a hold of your opponent, take advantage of GAF and XBL PM's.

Any of these games not completed or at least scheduled through this thread by Friday will get coin-tossed with a high-probability of a regular participant winning. So you guys that are active, don't worry. ;-)

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Talk Shit About 'Em
I will gladly finish all my games this season, but if someone who has more time to focus on the colts would like them please be my guest and I will just be a sub for any team here :D I don't have the time to learn 2 teams fully so being in this league is just fun to me.

I would love to be a complete alternate for anyone if possible. But get at me so i can play my games unless someone would like them.

me and andokuky must have missed each other that night we agreed to play, but we've got each other's gamertags so we'll get a game in soon.

I'm playing my week 5 match tonight, and green bay will be done whenever someone's using green bay. so no problems here :)

Yo.

It's been a hectic week for me... Lots of school stuff and was at a 21st b-day party last night, not to mention Halo 3 coming out, etc etc. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'll be playing that all night with a friend, so I don't think I'll be able to get our game in 'til tomorrow.

That sucks. :( Don't worry, you're spot is still yours when you get your 360 back.
