Thanks Ravens, home field! :D Maybe I will win a playoff game this season.

I would take online franchise over spectator any day of the week, especially if they get the trades and free agency and draft in there. That would be insane.

If I had a choice between spectator mode and online franchises I'd choose spectator mode. Stats entering only takes 10 mins max per game now and to be able to watch playoff games with other people while laughing at the stupid decisions people make would be priceless. Trading wouldn't be that big of a deal because trades are such a minor part of the real NFL.

If i had a choice between those two modes and them just fixing the fucking gameplay i'd choose fixing the fucking gameplay. They can start with making it so the QB getting sacked and fumbling the ball before the handoff happens one time in a billion plays. Nothing like flushing away a drive because of that bullshit.

Luke,I'll be free to get my ass kicked after MNF is over.

Well, on the bright side, maybe the Bears will be available when Bob picks for season 2.

I'm come to terms that I'll be playing in a wild card game for the playoffs....I'm tired of looking up and seeing Wellington win repeatedly crushing my dream of the division title.

ChrisJames, where you at baby?!??!?

Or I can beat Konex in the final game of the season.

Note to commissioners...

Sending WRs in motion and hiking it when the receiver is behind the linemen should be banned and cause for an automatic loss....

Say you have a 5 Wide formation, and you highlight Moss and motion him...

Instead of motioning him and letting him get set, you decide to hike the ball while Moss is running behind your o-line with my corner still running trying to catch up.

One time it happening, maybe it was just a untimely tap of the button...but when it happens 6-7 times in a game, its bullshit. Especially in a 5 Wide formation....

Regarding the final score, I was attempting to run out the clock up 35-21 when ChrisJames decided to call a time out with 1:35 remaining down by fourteen on his own 18 yard line. Considering how much he was blitzing from dime formation all game, I decide to throw a quick slant over the middle to get another first and call it a day....The slant turned into a touchdown.

The rest was a comedic symphony of pick-6's, fumbles for return, and screens that turned into touchdowns.

That combined with things he did I felt were suspect all game instead of running out of bounds on the broken plays I took them to the house....

EDIT- I deserve some flack....Looking back I should have not got so pissed at what he was doing when essentially he was getting desperate trying to score anyway he could...

I'm fine with motioning a WR in to block, but having him run a pass play is suspect. Doing it repeatedly is a shitty tactic, all you're trying to do is pick off his CB so you're WR comes wide open each and every time. If you want to pick/rub off a CB, run drags, slants, deep crosses don't resort to this shit.

I agree with this post. Although there really isn't any excuse for running it up that much. Even if u felt he was using shady tactics, that seems a little excessive. But more power to you, I couldnt score 60 if i tried.

:lol at the drama.

I will admit the WR motion thing is cheesy and I won't do it any more. I was basically desperate for the win and I apologize for doing it. Smith wasn't catching half the shit he should have, so I was trying to get open passes any way possible.

Thank you for admitting what happened there and somewhat validating my response...I apologize for not letting my foot off the pedal at the end there when everything went wrong for you....

Gunstar77,

Regarding Kearse, who is an absolute beast and beats the defender 50% of the time with his swim move, it felt unfair to watch you loop him around the tackle or tight end when you weren't just swimming through them. I honestly can't say how often you did this (and it wasn't THAT often), but I did notice it in bunches throughout the game. The offensive line AI is bad enough that this feels borderline cheap, even if it's not against league rules. I've played against others like Wellie who control D ends, but I haven't seen them loop around as much as Kearse did this game. You didn't do it all the time by any means, but you did do it quite a few times, and it worked almost every time. 6 tackles for a loss and 4 sacks is a monster game. I don't want to sound like I'm calling you cheap or there are sour grapes, because you played a good game and converted 3rd downs like a champ, but it was VERY frustrating to go against that.

I think this move needs to be examined when developing the rules for Year 2.
Click to expand...

Truth be told, that was by far the best game I had with him all season. I don't know what your Right Tackle's rating is but that was by far Kearse best game for me. Second, one of Kearse's sacks I was controlling DT Mike Patterson. Third, most of Kearse's came on a designed blitz in which is called a Hog 3 I believe. This blitz is a 4-3 Zone blitz that sends your Strong side LB in to tie up your Right Tackle which lets my DE come off the end free. PLEASE EXAMINE THE PLAY BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT CHEAP PLAYS, THERE IS SEVERAL WAYS TO COUNTER THIS PLAY.

My thought on the IR players is that they should be out. Ok, so you guys say real life doesn't affect our league, but FMT was adamant about Truelize not using Vick. And considering that our league doesn't have real injuries since there are no leagues in Madden, it's a way to add that depth. Keep the ones that are only out a couple of games and take out the IR players.

Yeah, I think it's a weird issue. I mean I'm not going to freak out over every last lineman out for the season, but if EA insists on taking Vick out of the game because he's now a felon, what's the difference (realism-wise) between that and Deuce who was injured since the start of the season? It's a tricky issue, but I think it only gets complicated when we're talking about impact players.
