I gotta play Smokey...christ. Why can't I play Luke?

They can't all go down as easily as me, Ramirez.

Wild Card Round

Chargers @ Steelers

Bears @ Packers

Patriots @ Colts

Giants @ Cards

And WTF at Bob making it in. I guess his trade with me was a good choice after all. Ever since then he's been winning. So much for my high pick.

Edit: So basically two people got in who didn't deserve it? Smokey and Bob?

 

[LukeSmith]

I gotta play Smokey...christ. Why can't I play Luke?

Because the computer already bailed your shitty team out when we played last. It wouldn't happen twice in the same season. :lol

 

[Lonestar]

Hell, I'd rather play Bird or IVEBEENDISRESPECTED

Oh well, one and done for me! But still nice to have EARNED my weak ass playoff spot.

I'm not sure, but Luke might have also made it in when he shouldn't have, if Bird did sweep the series against him. I think H2H is the 1st tie breaker.

Any idea when you want to play, Luke?

I did save the raw data of the regular season, and I've added on the regular season records (didn't do that season 1).

I'm gonna save Sable's player ratings, there's probably something we can do to show changes in player ratings (similar to what I did with the season to season stat changes)

Weren't you the same guy who accused me of running up the score on you? Man have times changed. Funny how dogs bark when they have something to bark about.

Don't forget Luke as well. I would argue of all the NFC wild card teams I've been playing the best down the stretch, although sable should have technically got the spot!

Each win I get keeps on driving your draft pick further down, so it is important for me to keep winning!

And yeah, Thomas has been pretty good for me. About as good as Briggs. Nice insurance policy. My big trade though was with DJ. He helped me completely revamp my secondary, giving me a very good CB and safety as starters.

 

[daw840]

Well. I guess I will never win a wildcard spot (not like that was happening anyways this season). I am completely boned with the Vikings alphabetical order. What. The. Fuck. EA. SMH

I can't beat you Lone. I could go tonight, but I just got back from a day snowboarding, need some time to clean up and get some dinner.

 

[Birdman02]

Also, I should've just waited on the Titans/Colts game from last week until AirBrian came back so that I wouldn't have had to play Rors as Chris Johnson! Birdman holds up the league to wait for AirBrian to come back rather than face Rors

It's not like I held up the league specifically to play AirBrian. It was just a coincidence that he got back into town yesterday. I was out of town last week...then on Sunday my wife's uncle was pulled off of life support so I haven't been at home until tonight.

 

[LukeSmith]

smokey bob and luke got in and shouldn't have

birdman choked away a game to AirBrian who hasn't played for 2 months - seems like EA did the right thing

seriously though, pretty lame that half of the people shouldn't by there, myself included.

I'm just fucking around! I wish we could play in the Wild Card round, I want another shot at you!

 

[AstroLad]

let me know when you are in wells

 

[Fifty]

How fucking amateur is it of EA Tiburon to finally give us online franchises, advertise it on the box..and not have proper playoff tiebreakers? Did they do one test season, have zero ties, and just forget about it? Actually, I'm guessing they didn't do any online franchise testing.

For them to use team name as the decisive playoff tiebreaker is just a joke. If I thought they cared enough to feel shame, I'd say that they should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i just dont get why the in-game standings are correct and then the game doesn't follow it. for instance, the jags are in first place on the in-game menu. the raiders are in 2nd place in the AFC west (chargers in 3rd).

well, pretty much par for the course with EA i suppose. sorry to those that should have gotten in and didn't. a pain i know all too well (not from this season though!)

and the last thing, EA doesn't even need to program the tie breakers right. they just need to give the commish the tools to put the right teams in the playoffs (like NBA 2kx does)

 

[Matrix]

Some half ass shit EA!

 

[Mrbob]

Lets be honest here, the only reason you are really angry about this is because it directly affects your draft pick from me. :lol

 

[Lonestar]

Weren't you the same guy who accused me of running up the score on you? Man have times changed. Funny how dogs bark when they have something to bark about.

Well...

You did!

I'm still on the same side, FIGHTING INJUSTICE

AB owns me....he's beat me 3 out of 4. Wait a minute, that's the same record I have against you!!

No one wants to see a Bears team in the playoffs, lets keep this real and honest.

 

[Rorschach]

Next season I have dibs on the Bears and jpout.

 

[DMczaf]

I want the Alabama Aardvarks

This was your shot - this year. Next year the division belongs to Curtis Painter.

I'll take the Bengals.

 

[Fifty]

I'm just lucky that my division rival is the Steelers. Being the Ravens, I don't stand a chance at namebeating most teams. Bob has the best team in the game for settling ties. Go Bears! What a f'ing joke. I'm not angry because I didn't get in; I'm just disappointed. If I had the Baltimore Bedazzlers, I would have gotten in over teams that I lost to in the Raiders and Chargers.

 

[Rorschach]

Birdman got screwed the most because he had the sweep and the division.

It really is baffling that the console has it right, but the playoffs aren't decided by the console standings... The tie breakers are there, but it's almost like they went out of their way to not include them.

 

[Matrix]

I could have a miracle season coming up and still not get in cause I'm the f-ing Texans.

What games you got?

What happened to the GAF Burnout PS3 party?! We should do that some time. I've never played it online.

Word. I downloaded it off of PSN and haven't played nearly enough. Hook that up!!!

Funny enough, someone tweeted the online franchise producer that their league had the wrong seedings as well. His response?

i just need the seahawks and rams to rise up! come on motherfuckers! and retire already old man warner! RETIRE TO A HEAVENLY PARADISE WITH THAT DELICIOUS FLOWER BRENDA!

 

[Birdman02]

This was your shot - this year. Next year the division belongs to Curtis Painter.

I really, REALLY hope Manning retires, but I know it's not gonna happen. Garrard, on the other hand, is probably ready to quit after that game. Either that, or come back with a vengeance next season!

I'm sure we'll be matched up in week 1 again....maybe I can get a free shot on Manning with Robert Mathis and knock him out for the year.

What does he mean by "it"? It seems like they're fixing their standings? I sent a few tweets about it to him last year, but he never responded. He responded to another guy saying they were "working on it."

I think that guy he's replying to is an insidur. Seems to get a lot of responses from pasta, ryan, ian, etc. We're small fries!

[edit] Next season is Pat White's season and he doesn't give a fuck about respek! He'll earn it with his legs! I really should have given him more snaps :\

[AirBrian]

Well, now my playoff hopes are in EA's hands. Garrard had, by far, his worst game of the season throwing 5 picks. In 4 games against the Titans, Garrard has thrown like 19 INTs....the Titan's D is Garrard's kryptonite. My defense was playing well until I lost Justin Durant for 10 weeks....after that, I don't think I made 1 stop the rest of the game.

GG AirBrian and welcome back.

GG, Birdman!

Oh man, what a predicament I created!

Luke and I are getting close to gametime.

Oh man, all those weapons of his
