-Reduced the number of times the chain-gang measurement scene occurs

Yes! The chain-gang scene is so stupid. I love how you can tell right away from the camera angle whether you made it or not. That defeats the only possibly interesting thing about having the cutscene!

Madden 10 Patch #2 = GOTY

 

[Lonestar]

Sent an Im to ram, saying I'm around to play. Let me know, Ram.

 

[BigAT]

I've been meaning to suggest this for a while, but maybe we should have a section in the OP containing everyone's AIM screen name to make it easier to contact each other quickly. Rors had the good idea to create a thread on the franchise website, but that has only about half the teams and this thread is infinitely more accessible than anything created by EA.

 

[Matrix]

Birdman, I'll be free to lose at 10 pm est.

 

[ph33nix]

So we can advance around 11 ET?

 

[Lonestar]

Not unless someone can get ahold of ram

 

[Birdman02]

Birdman, I'll be free to lose at 10 pm est.

Sounds good. Feel free to keep Moss on the bench, so the roster will be a better reflection of the real-life Texans.

 

[bluemax]

That would take forever, I think. Jesus.

Takes me about 45 minutes per team but I usually slip low rated rookies that I assume guys won't use.

It's annoying to think that NCAA has practice mode in online dynasty (albeit your offense vs your defense only) and Madden doesn't.

Live: Campbell is now 31/40 for 342 yards 2Tds and 1 int (my fault too).

 

[LiveWire]

There's no comparison man, call me next season when you retire Hasselbeck and start Campbell full time, then we'll compare #s.

 

[Wellington]

Giants/Cowboys done. GG Somnia.

The wind was at 18 MPH in the game. Our guys were kicking FGs with kickoffs. :lol

Run D continues to be terrible. I feel like I am playing with 9 guys out there.

 

[Matrix]

Sounds good. Feel free to keep Moss on the bench, so the roster will be a better reflection of the real-life Texans.

:lol

See ya in 10 mins. Fmt says I have to use him.

 

[Wellington]

New move in the repertoire.

Everyone loves hit sticking Jake low, so now I do this!!

So did you actually do that on purpose, or was it the auto-animation? I can never get the right timing on the hurdle move. My guys almost always end up getting flipped when I try it.

Matrix, I'm signing in now.

 

[Matrix]

Birdman, I'm in the lobby waiting to lose.

edit- ok

 

[CB3]

Is Ramirez gonna bob us

 

[ph33nix]

it appears to be so

On purpose my brother. I did it 3 or 4 times in the game.

 

[Ramirez]

Cut me some slack, I've been out of town for Thanksgiving+the Steelers loss made me not very football enthused for the day.

 

[CB3]

well your here now so find lonestar!

 

[Matrix]

FUCK ME! So close for my first time using the Texans in months. I should have thrown all game, but I wanted to prove you can run with the Texans :lol

GG Birdman, man If I only had a friggin timeout or had remembered how to spike the ball to stop the clock on the play before the last throw I caught.

This game was typical Texans style. Cant hold onto a lead, Kris Brown boots easy fg and Slaton gives his 1 fumble up when I'm having a great drive.

At least I wasn't blown out It did hurt getting beat by a QB sneak td

 

[CB3]

ok so 2 games played. Steelersw Patriots being played now. Whats the status on Rams/Panthers?

 

[Birdman02]

What a game man! I tried to give it away early with 2 first half turnovers, both of which led to TDs. I don't know how your d-line got through so fast on that Garrard fumble. He got hit hit before he finished the fake hand-off.

On that Slaton fumble, I almost knew the ball was gonna come out when I had Sean Jones lined up for the big hit. He's forced at least 2-3 fumbles this season on similar plays. But I still think you proved you can run with that team...Slaton got about 125 on the ground.

Looking at the replay (which I forgot to save), I'm not sure Garrard got into the end zone. I'm surprised there was no booth review.

I felt the same way on your FB dive TD. I have no idea why both of my DTs crashed to the outside...I could've sworn I audibled for them to crash the middle. I was looking for the FB dive after Slaton got stuffed on 1st and 2nd down.


EDIT: I think Garrard leads the league in total TDs. He's thrown for 14 and rushed for 5. He'll probably retire at the end of the season.

If it included DM, FMT and me playing myself, it'd be like playing the best players in the league consecutively. :lol

 

[Ramirez]

GG Lonestar, some whacky plays all around.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

advancing now

 

[Lonestar]

Could not get out of the way of myself on those int's.

Pretty damn pissed that a 96 speed Bellows can be run down, but Holmes can't So unfair to just have the 71 yarder at the end, nevermind the as usual AI Pass Interference that they never call (where the WR and CB get stuck together) on my 1st play afterwards (INT #5), as well as your roughing the passer after the pass Should have ran more, I guess. I tried to keep the FB from going into the endzone, and probably should have, to milk time...

On a side note, thanks for making me wait about 4 hours, Clark!

 

[Mrbob]

Damn Lonestar is the king of playing in close games.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

smokey when can you play?

 

[Lonestar]

Damn Lonestar is the king of playing in close games.

I won't be blown out!!!! But I'll still lose, gotta get some CB Talent in the draft.


Just like last year, I'm apparently lousy as the home team. I think 2/3rd of my losses last season were as the home team, and I'm 1-2 already...

 

[LJ11]

Damn Lonestar is the king of playing in close games.

When do you want to play Bob?

 

[Mrbob]

Wed would work best for me. I'm gonna get some sleep soon tonight, and tomorrow is another long day for me.

I'm home wed after 4:30 cst.

 

[BigAT]

What's your availability like for tomorrow Somnia? I should be around most of the day.

 

[Lonestar]

Daw, when do you want to increase your passing stats?

 

[Striker]

Bye Week Blues!

Next game is @DEN. :lol Wonderful.

NFC South looking tight and competitive.

 

[bluemax]

GCQuinton how does Wednesday night look for you?

Or now, I'm on live just drop me a message here in the next half hour.

Wednesday night works for me. I'm getting ready to head out for the night and don't know if I'll be around tomorrow night or not right now.

 

[bluemax]

Yeah Tuesday's don't work too well for me. Wednesday after about 7pm PST should be fine.

 

[Matrix]

"I tried to give it away early with 2 first half turnovers"

I also think Fred Bennett should have picked you off twice.... but god damn does he suck

Still awesome game though. Basically we both got screwed with the qb sneak and fb dive, our players got all stupid on us.


haha 0-8 texans vs 0-8 Titans.

Airbrian are you around to get this game in before you leave?

 

[AstroLad]

Nope, I've got to get in my NCAA online dynasty game tonight. It'll have to be tomorrow if it advances.

k it's probably gonna be late tomorrow tho b/c i have a big project to finish before heading out wed so i probably won't get home until after 10 or 11 est. :/

 

[CB3]

God damn i overcame for this win. Westbrook was my FS for half the gamw after Dawk and Demps went down

The AFC Wildcard race is looking to be pretty insane. I know we're only halfway through the season, but there are 5 elite 5-3 teams fighting for 2 spots right now. NE(or BUF), BAL(or Pit) Indy, and of course San Diego and Oakland.

I'm 5-4 and out of the wild card race

 

[Fifty]

Right, because you're at worst two games out of the spot, with 7 remaining. It must have been humbling to have your backup RB get under 150 yards receiving :lol , but I have confidence that you're still a threat. If you disagree, you can add your self-pity below:

 

[Lonestar]

Sitting with 3 losses by a combined 9 points. Beat that

Wait, Luke might have. 4 losses by a combined 12 points! 7 losses between us 2, all lost by 3 points. SMH

Yeah, every game I've lost has been a 3 point heartbreaker. I'm due to get massively blown out, I'm sure one of my upcoming opponents will abide.

 

[ph33nix]

I just played an awesome game with Nightz. Shit...I have one complaint though.

He's a fucking cheeser for making Ted Ginn drop 3 motherfucking passes. 2 of which came on the potential tying drive, and 2 OF WHICH WERE IN THE ENDZONE

 

[Nightz]

GG pheenix. You made a huge comeback in the fourth. After that pick 6, I seriously thought you were gonna win it with all the momentum on your side. Donald Brown bailed me out though with his monster run.

Your last possession had me nervous the whole time. You did a great job of finding the right guys to throw to, but thankfully butterfingers Ginn really helped me out on that last play. :lol

Awesome game though, really fun. And I'm sorry but...

5 pictures. 5 is for the winning streak I'm about to go on bitches!

You should have only posted 1 picture.

Edit:
