Official Madden '10 Xbox 360 Online Franchise: A World Without Favre
- Thread starter FrenchMovieTheme
- Start date
I might piss a few people off, but it's always better to care too much than to not care enough.
It is just a game. Airbrian and others can be as busy as they need to be, but I just wish that as well as informing a commish (which usually means only that person knows and I'm left getting angry in the dark) we had fill ins for TEN. I recall in S1 saying that we didn't want to have people playing the CPU. If you're busy, for the sake of realistic stats and to give yourself a better chance at a W, please get someone to fill in. We have no shortage of volunteers.

you need some english in your life!
Favre wasn't that much better than JRuss is now at short and intermediate throws. JRuss' only problem is deep throws really. And you did well with Favre in that first season. You have to keep in mind that the online rosters are not the same as the franchise rosters and Favre is on a whole different level after the upgrade. Plus, you were playing the chefs and you have way better WRs with the online rosters. -_-daw840 said:
I'm not a QB expert, but I do know how to get something out of JRuss. If you ever want to scrim and get a few pointers, I'd be glad to help. There's no online equivalent to JRuss, though. We'd have to use some other QB that's relatively close. Maybe Joe Flacco?
[edit]
Hasn't helped you win much! HEYO!FrenchMovieTheme said:

I am not tanking. Even if I am 1-14 going into my final game, I will fight hard. I just hate that I seem to have a knack for shooting myself in the foot this season. I have been soundly beaten a couple of times, but I have also made some really boneheaded mistakes and also have been hit with some very odd TOs and bad calls. But that is football. Especially Jets football. I think their success in real life juxtaposed to my retared play is just making me feel worse.
I don't lead and bitch and whine committe so you can stop there denog. And I only troll one bitch in this thread is bob anyways. Ask LJ, the two nights when I went apeshit on bob and bob actually finished his game before pats/bills and I asked him if they wee playing that night, and he said 'no me and lonestar are too tired" and I was like alright cool. So before you guys put some bullshit accusation think about the situation first

Your trolling of Bob has gotten old. You don't need to branch out and troll others to make it annoying; it already is.ph33nix said:
Well if there's not communication between commishes, that's on you guys. I let FMT (and even you, I believe) that I was going to need a sub until January 4th. FMT should've chimed in or whatever. If you guys are co-commishes, act like it and talk to each other. We shouldn't have to let 6 different people know what's going on. I sent FMT a PM on November 28th letting him know what was going on.Fifty said:
And since I've been back, I have not missed a single game yet until this week against Ramirez, which I would've played last night but when he responded it was too late.
If the issue here is just finding a sub rather than playing the CPU, than that's easy. I would love if someone wanted to fill in for the Titans this week! I'd love to come back on Monday to a W than a L! I just told him to play the CPU because I didn't want to hold up the league if/when everyone starts the "let's advance the league tonight 3 days ahead of the deadline" bullshit.
So, if anyone wants to sub for me this week, please do!

Ace Garrison fell into my lap. I was honestly planning on going with J Camp this season and I really wanted to draft Kenton Keith the top CB to shore up my pass defense but I couldn't move up higher and I couldn't trade down so I just stuck it out. When you have a chance to draft a guy like Garrison you have to take it.
Astro: don't sweat it if tonight doesn't work out, I've played 2 games straight after getting off a plane and didn't really enjoy it. I really would've preferred to have time to get reacclimated to being home so I know how it goes.
Well J Russ's pass ACC rating has to be lower than that of some other backups out there. His overall rating is 80 mainly because of his throw power. Ramirez's backup, Matt Hasselbeck, has 91 pass acc (Jamarcus' is 69)..even Jason Campbell is +8 in that crucial pass ACC rating.

For sake you better hope I'm still in this mode I'm in now. I go back to my season 1 play and I will not lose a game the rest of the season, but other things in life take priority over Madden right now !

For some maybe. To me nothing feels better in Sports-GAF than winning a ship. Meltdowns from others comes close, but not quite.

Hasslebeck:
83 THP (Throw Power)
91 THA (Throw Accuracy)
88 TAS (Throw Accuracy Short)
85 TAM (Throw Accuracy Medium)
73 TAD (Throw Accuracy Deep)
69 TOR (Throw on the Run)
88 PAC (Play Action
JBust
98 THP (Throw Power)
69 THA (Throw Accuracy)
82 TAS (Throw Accuracy Short)
75 TAM (Throw Accuracy Medium)
66 TAD (Throw Accuracy Deep)
87 TOR (Throw on the Run)
88 PAC (Play Action
So right there you could've picked up Hasslebeck as a FA before the season and got a guy with far better accuracy. Yeah you would've lost rocket arm powers but it sounds like your issue is accuracy.
Edit: Dammit beaten by Fifty!
C'mon Daw I'll trade you JCamp! He was a 60+% passer last season!

Yes, but his accuracy doesn't account for the week it takes to get the ball from his hand to the receiver.Fifty said:

shaun hill had ridiculous accuracy in the short game. infact, i think he is still the highest rated passer in league history (percentage wise). but he might be 2nd or 3rd.
i had games with him where i would go 22/25.... but the 3 incompletions were interceptions :lol

You know what I don't understand, Daw, is that looking at your stats from S1, I am pretty sure that your success was based off just getting the ball to AP and Percy Harvin. JRuss should be able to do handoff and hit both guys short without a problem. Have you moved away from that strategy? I'd be getting AP 30 touches a game if I were you. I get cranky when Jacobs doesn't get 20 and I have a guy just as good as him as a backup eating into his touches.
