FMT: Unlock all my games before the next roster update, plz.

 

[Truelize]

Holy crap I'm playing a game in dynasty mode (figured I need the practice - but it's not going any better than my online games). But anyways. I just had a defensive player go THROUGH the ball carrier three times in the same play. Yes that's right three freakin times.
I threw a pass to the left. Pass was caught and of course fumbled. Defensive player jumps on the ground to get the ball. My center runs through him and turns. Ball carrier stands up, Mario runs for a couple of steps, does a spin move, my centre once again runs through him during the spin move. He completes the spin move, my centre turns around again and runs right through him. He is finally tackle by one of my players that also ran through my center.

Freakin hilarious. It's like he just became a ghost or something.

Edit: K I had to take pics of this. Check this out.
1. Running towards ball, going through dude

2. Running though ball carrier as he is standing up after recovering fumble

3. Turning around to pursue ball carrier. Going through two other dudes

4. Caught up to ball carrier. Second pass through his body

5. Third pass through ball carrier.

These were all separate passes through players. How does this still happen in Madden? It's been going on for 5 years now. Ridiculous.

:lol At least Eli is ok...




After today's game, I am vindicated and EA is fucking stupid for downgrading Curry and Jordan. YTMND!

FMT: Unlock all my games before the next roster update, plz.

I hope no big players get hurt for ARZ. I be screwed!

You think that's bad? I've had defensive linemen go right through my OL only to become solid again just in time to get jacked up. When the game wants you to lose, it will make you lose at all costs.

I don't know if it could be worse than that man :lol. He ran through 5 different players. I've seen this crap effect the game in worse ways but I've never seen a play last this long where one player just keeps passing through guys.

It could explain a lot of the Dline busting through the Oline so easily.


And from playing a game offline I realize I am still getting quite a bit of button lag online with Madden Offline is noticeably smoother.

 

[Truelize]

Whoa!!!!!

After all that craziness with the recovered fumble. I finally go back to resume my game and Minnesota comes out and punts the ball from my 25 yard line. It was their first down. :lol. They just came out and kicked it.

Wow that's some special glitching right there.

 

[DMczaf]

Are we playing with injuries on or off? I vote off, player injured every series.

:lol

 

[Fifty]

As Slo can attest to, that might just be a realistic touch added by EA to simulate the stupidity of Minnesota's coaching staff!

(p.s: If I had to vote, I'd vote injuries off as well. There are an unrealistic amount of them and because of that teams end up automatically burning timeouts because of BS 1 series injuries)

 

[Andokuky]

Injuries seem to be like the BS fumbles, hit or miss. I haven't seen many BS injuries. The only player I usually have injured is Henry and that's because I probably ran him too much.

 

[Zep]

my roommate uses denver when playing online in madden and we've kept track of how many times henry gets hurt(after the first week we noticed something wasnt right). We've played 75 games? And travis has ended up hurt in 48 of them at one point in the game, in random spots.

 

[Matrix]

Im glad that wasnt a league game lonestar,that ending was pure bs.

I press Y for fair catch and it doesnt register and my guys fumbles.

Next you kick to me again and my guy fumbles....

dont even get my started on the pass inter call which I thought was bs and my dropped tipped pass into your hands for the int.

:lol :lol

This game can be absurd sometimes.

 

[SickBoy]

Yeah, IMO injuries are way overdone this game... my last league game was maybe the second time I've played where there hasn't been an injury to an important player.

 

[Lonestar]

hey, I feel the same way. Remember your points were all given to you by, I guess...ME!?! The punt was almost identical. I scored 7, you scored 7. Multiple sacks were when I'm sitting there tap tap tappin away to pass the ball...

Oh, and the insane fucking safety AI. I swear, you can't throw a deep route, it will get picked because every safety is superman.

 

[Matrix]

You didnt have back to back fumbles at the end of a close game...

I WIN

yea the saftey ai is horseshit.

 

[Rorschach]

I've had a shitload of injuries, but I say keep 'em anyway.

 

[Matrix]

Cause you pray the other better teams star players will get hurt to even the playing field...

I wish for it too,but it never happens.It's always scrubs


I say turn injuries off,f-ing annoying like the fumbles.

 

[Rorschach]

Cause you pray the other better teams star players will get hurt to even the playing field...

I wish for it too,but it never happens.It's always scrubs

:lol Yeah, it always happens to me and not them. It's guaranteed that at least one of my backs will be injured no matter what.

I think it's because I like the frustration of randomness. In order to adapt to madden, you have to feed off it.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

stop your whining about injuries! i lost frank on the 2nd play of my game against zep and couldn't use him for the entire game... and i still won!

tell them zep! tell them!

 

[Andokuky]

When is week 4 advancing? My opponent is out of town for 2 weeks or something

 

[Rorschach]

Oh yeah, FMT, not only did I lose Rhodes only to pwn in rushing in week 2, but I also won a game inspite of this:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7735896&postcount=1323

GG Livewire. WOW were there a lot of injuries that game. 3 of my HBs, a TE, a QB, a LB, a FS, a DT, and my RG...and that was just on my side! 2 fumbles by my guys -_-

My starting QB in the first play!

 

[Matrix]

Play with the Texans and win without AJ! try it

I demand a roster update from EA with an improved Texans team!

This is bs

 

[DMczaf]

Bad news everyone, EA has decided to stop doing roster updates for Madden 08 and begin to focus 100% on Madden 09!

I guess we have to deal with these pre-week 1 rosters for the rest of the season

 

[Matrix]

Nice joke post Dm!







are you fing serious?

Nope, he's just in denial. Soon there will be no more Carnell.

[dammitmattt]

All,

I just got the RRoD for the 3rd time and will be out of commission for about two weeks. I apologize to my next opponents vumper, Lonestar, and Truelize, but I will try to see if I can get in one or two of the games in on a friend's system.

Sorry

 

[Slo]

AZGreg, when's good for you?

Wow. That is pretty lame. Best of luck getting turned over fast and repaired. Hopefully you will get the new parts and fixes.

At least I will get a free wireless controller out of it.

Looks like week 6 will be a repeat of week 4 for me. Whichever team makes the fewest EA assisted mistakes wins!

 

[Ramirez]

Yea I lost Parker on my first play, and still won, suck it up boys!

 

[sableholic]

At least I will get a free wireless controller out of it.

Sweet now I have something to look forward to if it happens one more time...

Coldblooded checking in to make sure we are still on at 9PM Central/7PM Pacific tonight.

 

[Rorschach]

...but EA hates my team more...

I remember when Sickboy was in chargers of that team. Every game with him would be a heart wrenching back and forth shootout and the victor would be whoever got the ball last. :\

 

[daw840]

This Niners game is looking more and more like Madden

 

[Mrbob]

Me and coldblooded cannot connect at all?

Thank you EA and your shitty net code.
