:lol

I can't seem to get a good pop in like I normally do in offline games, but I can still hitstick fairly well. Although I've been beaten BAD at times.

Yeah, I'd rather have fair play than not... despite its annoying shortcomings.

As for the effectiveness of the 3-4, I think it has more to do with the offensive style you face, or maybe how you manually control your defenders, because from a strict playcalling perspective, I've sent men to where I know the back's going and in many cases it hasn't helped dramatically. In fact, often it's been more effective to send guys where I don't expect the ball to be going so I can funnel the running game into a particular direction.

Part of the real-world success (and in particular the Chargers' real-world success in 2005) with the 3-4 has been the playmaking skills of the front seven and their ability to swarm to the ball. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a lot of swarming from my defence in Madden.

The only thing that bugs me about Fair Play is when I get a bullshit 4th and Inches spot and I can't go for it.

Hows about 4:40? My brother just called and said he needs a ride to school but it'll only take 10 mins or so. I'm on AIM (AndoSD), I'll be back shortly.

FUCK man, for whatever reason I cannot connect to the EA server. I can go online no problem, but it won't get onto EA.

Now I can't play DM when I have the chance.
 
wasabi, dallas is your opponent in week 2. he has AIM, but hasn't been approved for registration here at GAF yet (or is banned?). anyways, his AIM is: TheGr8Matheson

Does Sinistar still exist? I'd like to get my game in with him at some point.

Sorry about the delay in highlights. Stupid Youtube went down last night.
 
yeah gg cuban, a lot closer than the score. i lucked out a few times when you had good field position.

if only marques douglas was that awesome of a pass rusher in real life :lol

I hate this Youtube site, but I'd rather use it than have to download something just so I can upload movies... (I'm looking at you, Google!)

Giants vs. Chargers.

LaDainian Tomlinson chalks up a big run early to put the Chargers ahead 7-0.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=_wnwR21DmEg

Jeremy Shockey embarrasses the coverage to close the gap, 10-7 Chargers.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=7HUKzSMaZD0

Drew Brees tosses a pick as the Chargers try to get into scoring range with time running low in the first half.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=qLkIH64atag

Brandon Jacobs shows an alarming disregard for ball security as the Giants threaten deep in Charger territory.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=tF1c7gF82J0


Shockey puts the Giants in front for the first time.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=z-vP7BPs4qw

Tomlinson... is there anything he doesn't do?

http://www.youtube.com/?v=Xhs4w62Uw80

Antonio Gates gives the Chargers their lead back.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=rqWsINzITrA

Eli Manning seals the deal...

Poor Wellie, losing another close game. :/

His luck from season 1 must have ran out. ;)

I just watched those vids. Very cool. Keep 'em up. The Shockey going ahead TD vid isn't working though.

Wow Wellie had some really tough breaks that game.

I've had tough luck in all of these games. 7 sacks against you last night isn't exactly a common occurence.

There are two things that opponents are doing to me that, when do to me, I lose. Obviously won't go into detail. I'll get back on track though, I faced what, the top two D's in the NFL this year in my first two games?

Madden really IS like the real thing! Alexander fumbled making me lose a drive well in progress and the refs made a lot of questionable calls.

Crazy game with Sinistar -- most of the scoring came on big plays (example: I scored 34, never saw the New England red zone).

Come on FMT! Week 2 is old news! Week 3 is the new Hotness (Like Reggie Bush)

Where's the new schedules?!

He told me the schedule already, but it isn't up yet.

We are playing 14 more times to finish the regular season!

BTW, does Sinistar know we're keeping individual player stats? Because of my ongoing recording, I actually have his stats in a movie file (I'd rather not be the one to pore over it, however), but he put in his team stats, but not his player stats on the site...
