*10-4. We have two men down in the Official Madden 10 Online Franchise Thread. I repeat, we have shots fired and men are down!

We can't all be gifted with power teams like you. Some of us have to earn it.

You could use my team and I'll use yours and I'd smoke you by 3 scores. In fact I'd even go get a webcam and broadcast this.

How'd you do last season pal? How about in the divisional round of that playoffs, how'd you do?

I'm not elite either, just have an elite team. Guys like Rors, LJ, FMT, DM, with below average teams, those are the elite guys. The Giants can only carry me so far, I was bound to lose at some point. I am still so broken up I cried about it last night.

Actually I would love to try that tonight. Anyone (except Rors) can use the Giants and I'll use their team AND their playbook. Who's down for a team switching matchup since Bob didn't sack up? it will only prove how un-elite I am without the crutch of the Giants.

I'll scrim. Let's see what you can do with Quinton Ganther and company.

All that's nice and good, but does it match up with...

CHARTS?

HB.jpg

Running Back averages. With Colors!

WR.jpg

Receiver Averages. With the SAME Colors!

Sadly, Photobucket deemed the pictures too big, and shrunk it a wee bit. Maybe you can spot out your teams.

What do the numbers represent?

an avg of all the attributes. Even though Rors has the worst RB core...his starter may be better than his backups by a ton hence the shitty score. It's where numbers lie :D

it's also skewed for those of us that have only 3 rb's vs. some people that have 4 or 5 and those extra rb's are specialty backs (speed only, return guys, etc)
this. My 4th RB, Sanders is my punt returner/kr. He's a 97 spd but not much else.

Then lets just do the #1 guy on every team. Welp, Minny wins!

It was the same attributes from the chart. I did not include Overall Rankings, Awareness Rankings, and the blocking and extra recieving ratings (CIT, SPC, RTE). I went with the basics that a running back would go with:

Code:
STR SPD AGI ACC TRK ELU BCV SFA SPM JKM CAR CTH STA JMP INJ

Of course the numbers are going to lie, If I cut 4 guys, my average would jump up. Me and Tennessee have the most HB's on the roster (6). Bears have the lowest, with 2.

get rid of jump and inj, it has no impact on actual running the ball..

Took out both, though Injury is important, as RB's are one of the more injured positions that I've seen. This is even limiting the averages to HB's rated 70+ OVR

That's more accurate. I understand inj is important in terms of actually playing the game but rating the rbs for this purpose is not needed.

I'd really love it if next year's game included some kind of option for off-season training. It'd have to balance out though, say if your guy lifts weights to get higher STR and other stats, he gets slower. There are some attributes that I consider essential that won't fluctuate through progression except for declining as the player age. So this would be good for improving your guys. :(

Also, say you have a guy like Brian Orakpo and you want to convert him to DE for good. He could go through your program and build up to DE size.

Wishful thinking. :(
Didn't NCAA have this?

Wellie you should try an online management sim like Hattrick or Buzzer Beater.

Blue when would you want to play the week 4 game? I think you and Fifty will be the last game before the advance on Saturday, if we are both around, want to get it in then? If not, I am home all day Sunday. Let's try for the weekend, you west coasters have screwy sleep schedules.

Also, how do you feel about Pete Carroll to the Seahawks?

Any point this weekend should be fine. I'm trying to go to avatar but need to check and see if it's sold out. Otherwise I have no plans.

As for PC I was pissed at first but since he isn't handling personnel I'm less worried. I do think Ken Norton Jr is going to make Curry into a star.

I think now I'm more worried about my Trojans and how Lane Kiffin is going to ruin them.

:lol

Curry is garbage. People were touting him as the next willis coming out but he just doesn't have it. Dude averaged like 4 tackles a game and was an absolute non-factor all season.

i guess it's possible he could improve, but he will never be a star.

as far as pete carroll, no one knows what his role is going to be personnel wise. they are interviewing pat kirwain (of nfl.com fame!) who is good friends with PC and it is speculated that his hiring/non-hiring is going to determine how much input carroll has.

pete carroll reminds me of dennis erickson to be honest with you. but time will tell!

Well it's not like anyone else is going to win the NFC West as long as Kurt and Larry are around.

Kirwan is the only one who thinks they are hiring/interviewing Kirwan. PC is the coach only the GM will be in charge of personnel.

As for you laughing about Curry and KNJ here are some names to consider:

Brian Cushing
Keith Rivers
Clay Matthews Jr
Rey Maualaga
Lofa Tatupu

I'm gonna trust Ken's track record.

Also Curry was pretty high up on the list for QB hits. Dude has talent and skills and I trust Ken.

Now I just hope we don't draft Taylor "Roy Williams 2" Mays or Fumbles McKnight.
