I have never set up man-lock.

Though, my pass defense isn't good this year, but its more about the lack of a quality secondary.

GG sable.

I was fortunate to have Clayton come out of nowhere and get 3 TDs. He was never the primary WR on those routes, but I guess I saw an inch and he somehow managed 3 incredible catches. Two diving TDs and then one crazy jumping one over the DB. All RZ TDs. He'll never do that again.

I would have been happy enough without that, since my RBs were able to get going, but that was just a ridiculous icing on the cake. and thus it became a blowout. At least DM lost so you're still in contention!

I hate when the game freezes. I was up 24-21 and had just stopped Story to make it I think fourth down with just over 2 minutes to go and the whole thing locked up.

i heard the lockups are basically non-existent if you have the game loaded to the harddrive. unfortunately i only have about 3 gigs of memory left on mine so i can't do it :(

How much space does it take? 4GB or so I'm assuming. Maybe I can delete some shit. Just delete all that Halo DLC I never use.

Get a 120gb hdd cheap ass. Best investment you'll make for your 360, even if it is overpriced.

Better to spend 150 now, than another 200 after your drive fails again.

The HD prices are so ridiculous. I refuse to buy a new HD unless the price drops significantly.

I have a launch 360, so my HD is sad, but I always make room for Madden! What could you possibly have that you can't delete?

My disc drive used to chug and chug and cause temporary lockups (and some total lockups) then I installed the game. There's no excuse not to have it installed!

I agree, and it pained me to buy it, but it is better than spending 150 on one (which is the regular price).

It is more of an insurance plan for the 360 anyway.

Personally I think installations should be a league rule. Especially with the talks of lockups with the game not being installed on the hdd. But I don't call the shots!

with my launch HD after deleting everything that i dont use (Demo's and a few arcade games i dont play, Halo 3 DLC, ect...) i get about 7 total free gigs. I had madden installed until 2k10 hit. Now i have MW2 installed. I play Call of Duty much more and for longer periods of time. I rather enjoy the peaceful hum when i play COD rather that hearing the 360 chug. its more worth it than having Madden installed

Ive never had madden freeze (atleast during a league game) so unless that starts happening ill leave it uninstalled

It is possible to install a significantly cheaper laptop HD in place of the Microsoft one. It is definitely a process to do it and it's not the easiest thing in the world, but there's savings to be had. I got a 120 GB for like $50 and that was a few months ago so it might have dropped even more since then. I'm able to install every game I buy now and the reduced loading time, lack of noise and absence of lockups make it definitely worth the investment.

How's Rocky working out? Is the loss of Smith hurting or is it your secondary?

Oh, and I'm always up for a scrimmage if you see me online just send me a message.

Losing smith is hurting more than I thought it would. Rockys doing ok I guess he's made a couple nice plays, but nothing to great. Did you know he was A potential? As for the scrimmage ill hit you up if I see you online. Going to watch some off this toronto bills game

Toronto needs an NFL team. I love the Ravens, but living in Toronto all my life, I can't really identify with teams out of my market. The level of exposure just doesn't compare to what I get from the Raptors/Jays/Leafs. LA vs Toronto..fight! L.A had their chance, it's time for us to get what's ours!

Yea, I knew he, and Orkapo, are A potentials. Risks I was willing to take. Surprisingly though for an A potential Rocky only went up 1 or 2 pts (Orakpo went up 4 or 5). Rocky had 6 picks, Orakpo just 1.

I'll be on later tonight if you're still up for a game.

That's not real football. The NFL shouldn't host games here if they don't want us to go even more insane. Stop the teasing! I don't see any games being played in LA!

GG GCQ. You had some tough breaks with the turnovers early :\. This was only the second time this year that my D stepped it up. Ndukwe had a monster game...glad I bumped him up over Roy Williams for the SS spot. Coming into this game I was so scared to face your running game, but fortunately DeAngelo and Stewart were contained for the most part. Steve Smith is a beast, man. I highlighted him the whole game and he still found the holes and tore up my D. Good luck the rest of this season!

GG Man...my defense seemed like it decided to fall asleep in the OT. Same with my special teams (though they werent doing much all game anyways :lol )

Looking forward to the re-match.

insanity dcx. you knew whoever got the ball in OT would probably win and i guess that's how it turned out. except for getting those turnovers early your offense was unstoppable although there were a ton of crazy plays on both sides.

Wow...what a bs game. GG Astro, not to take anything away from you but holy fuck. First off, the turnovers just seems to be on your side. First offensive drive for me i try a WR screen to get White going early...yea lb walks past my wall o blockers and picks it to give him a 14-0 lead. Then in the red zone my dude fumbles...then LT fumbles on his side of the field...wtf!!!

Nevermind Warner has spider sense and gets the ball off even while falling...and lets not talk about my DB and LB dropping 5 picks at least...whatever EA. I don't even feel like i lost that game.

Wells is BJAC. HE powers through every thing. And Breaston is BJAC JR. On one of his TDs he broke 5 tackles...yes five!! DAMN. Well, is guess you were right Astro. The game for five :/

Cutler is fucking horrible in the game just like in real life. A bunch of picks were overthrows. Not even Bob's fault. Seven picks total on the day.

Clint Sintim 5 tackles, 2 for a loss, and 1 sack. :)

Brandon Atkinson my stud C finally allowed a sack. D: Hope it does not screw up his progression.
