Smokey said:pains the shit out of me to say this, but rors is one of the more fair players here.
there's plenty of cheeseheads too:
lj, dcx, mrbob to name a few
LukeSmith said:Rors and LJ are two of my favorite players to play in the league. Never felt cheesed at all by either of them, just outplayed usually.
Pfft I wouldn't want another mediocre QB on the roster. I'd rather have that pick. Anyway, it's not gonna happen. Like I said, if anyone would suffer for that rule it would be Ramirez.Ramirez said:Ben's not going anywhere, don't get Rors hopes up.
Yeah GG man. Not exactly a chess match but it was a tight one the whole way through.sableholic said:gg man, definetly a nailbitter. sorry i had to go in the middle of the convo last night. I regretted not kicking the fg at the start of the game but i guess its ok since you missed a fg later on. still can't believe the pass just hit grimes in the head.
anyways your defense was stout I was having trouble finding holes in it and you were doing a great job of eating up the clock. I knew I scored too quickly when I had the ball with around 2 mins left and scored on a decently long pass.
I still was a little mad about getting called for PI on the pick that could have ended the game, but watching the replay i guess i might have hit his leg before going up for the ball? Dunno but I rarely see the PI get called and you capitalized on it. Like you said it wasn't the only odd/bad thing to happen in the game, but still frustrating just cause I think i've only ever seen pi called one other time. I see you uploaded the lucky td I had, def thought that was going to be a interception, but thankfully it squeezed in there.
I'm glad I took some timeouts during your scoring drive at the end as it left me just enough time to get down the field and score the game tieing fg. And when I won the overtime toss I felt fairly confident I could move into fg position although I should have been a little more careful as I think you stripped the ball once or twice when i was in fg range. Anyways great game.
Since this is both of our last seasons we should try and meet up in the playoffs where you can get the ultimate revenge.
Edit: Looking at stats, wow didn't realize I actually ended up with more t.o.p., although I did have 4 mins or so in overtime, but really I didn't think it was close at all. Nice to see I continue to be at the top in terms of penalties and penalty yards
I hope it's unskippable!DMczaf said:I just noticed one of the cutscenes in the background are the Saints players getting off the team bus for the game. Virtual Drew in a suit!

Wellington said:Yeah GG man. Not exactly a chess match but it was a tight one the whole way through.
That TD I uploaded was the one of three plays that really pissed me off defensively. That is an interception for any QB not named Peyton, Brees, or Brady. The play in question is this one, for those wondering. I could not get a good angle to show it the receiver literally took it, out of Bradley's hands.
Second was in OT, the long pass to Henderson or Meachem, I forget. It was on the PA pass where you're sitting in Ace Twin WR and the receivers flood right. Terrell Thomas was on it, ran the route better than your guy, but amazingly the ball gets past him and into the hands of the receiver that was trailing the play.
Did you notice similarities between our offenses? We ran several plays that were exactly the same. :lol You were worried about my use of CJ, but as you saw first hand, I don't really try and go to him all that much. Two of the four catches he was the four read, the other was a PA, and the last was a play in which you were in cover 2 and he beat your guy pressing.
I'm not into this game anymore to be honest, so you can keep your revenge. I like the mental work of strategizing way more than than I like controlling the players on the field. I've said this before, but I'm not a good player, more of a think tank guy. Once we got onto the "Playing Field" guys like you, CB, FMT, LJ, Rors, etc. - guys that play the game really well - will always beat me.
Other than the outplayed part, I am cheese-free, too! :lolLukeSmith said:Rors and LJ are two of my favorite players to play in the league. Never felt cheesed at all by either of them, just outplayed usually.

AstroLad said:I heard there is a whole cutscene where the coach of a team that got screwed out of the playoffs b/c of Madden's broken tiebreaker system goes apeshit. Robo-Goodell is in it and everything.
Westbrook fucked me up pretty good.sableholic said:Yep no arguments here that should have been a interception. I should have thrown it sooner or even hit henderson who ended up being alone in the back of the endzone. Also on the play in OT, that was a mistake, pressed the wrong button and thought for sure it was going to be inted, but meachem ended up making a big grab/your defender never made a break on it even with his inside route which was shitty for you- lucky for me. Also I realized you were content with me getting a lot of underneath things so I ended up being content with it too, tried just not to force anything. Not that I didn't look deep, but I was willing to take the small gains. I did try and go to one of my fav plays to grimes too often.
And yea I noticed we ran quite a few similar plays, don't remember it being that way in previous matchups but I'm also not the most observant guy.
Meh I'm not up there with those guys. I have a couple things I can do well, but as shown by you there are tendencies I have that can get me in trouble. I will say I was happy I didn't force any passes really to Grimes even on the plays that I typically like to go to him on. The one int I don't think was a bad throw I pulled it down to flatten the route a bit but the safety made a better jump.
oh and i miss bush.

He said "for once" homeboy! His current MLB (Bradley) is pretty good too. In my dummy league, Sintim is now 86. Dunno what happened in our league. :\BigAT said:I have the Giants in another franchise, they both drop pretty significantly (Pierce especially) after the first season.

I was at a computer lab at school doing some work and when I saw Ted Ginn was selected I screamed NOOOOOOOOO and it was really awkward :lol
You're right, he did start out pretty decent but there was a pretty big nosedive in terms of.... everything from year 1 to 2. Regardless, I was victimized on the run because while Pierce has high pursuit rating (90 IIRC) he was so slow. I plugged in rookie Sintim over Danny Clark, I think he was 75 rated year 1. I used him in a LT style role and he had a ton of sacks. I had to trade Kiwi away for CJ, so now Sintim is a DE. Boley was 82, and had a whopping 22 tackles in a full season's worth of games in year 1. These guys are just not around the ball, they get killed with passes to TEs and HBs, are can't do shit in zones.Rorschach said:
[edit] What was wrong with Pierce? He was at least "decent" in Madden.

Oh, I thought you meant "decent" (not great) because that's what you wrote. :lol I would kill for PWilly as well.Wellington said:You're right, he did start out pretty decent but there was a pretty big nosedive in terms of.... everything from year 1 to 2.

You know what I mean tho, after using P-Willy for that one game. I don't need a P-Will, Ray-Lew, Jer-May, or a Jon-Bea, I'm just looking for someone that will consistently be around the ball. The guys I have now, my first rounder last year excluded, are always there. Stew Bradley with his high PUR is constantly at the point of attack. I grabbed Gary Brackett and play him over Michael Boley for that reason. Been playing my rook Fua at ROLB (54 OVR) and he is leading the LBs in tackles, and has far and away the most tackles an LB has ever had at this point in the season for me, he and Bradley both have 37. Less than three tackles per game. :lol
Whatever tho, you have had guys like Morrison and now you have Kassem producing for you. I have my safety in the box all game to make my D competitive against the run. :lol
Man I'd take someone like D'Qwell Jackson, Dave Harris, Nick Barnett... ANYONE!Rorschach said:Oh, I thought you meant "decent" (not great) because that's what you wrote. :lol I would kill for PWilly as well.
btw- Morrison was rated 83 last season and is only 73 speed. I doubt Pierce was slower...
Oh, and my strong side LB has always been a weak spot. :\ I started out with Brown. -_- I did, however, draft LB/DL every first round of the draft. :]
I traded back, got C Brandon Atkinson, the best C to ever come out of a draft, better than Max Younger. Dude is a beast.Rorschach said:You know, it would be cool too look back on our first/second draft and see who was happy with what they got. This is just around the time we start finding out who was a bust for the 2010 draft.

I have the calendar marked for later this year.LukeSmith said:We just haven't played as many season games, old friend. We've had wars going back through many Madden seasons, too
88 rated now, he is an absolute beast!Lonestar said:very cool Ror!
funny enough, via the trading of Ty Warren to CB3, I ended up with his 1st and 2nd Round picks from the 1st draft (Barclay and Feazell). And he had the pick following mine that year.
Looking past my 1st round pick of Carter @ #19, I could have picked up SS Will Barkley instead. Sure, Chung's ok, but isn't Barkley like 93 rated now!
Feazell and Carter are insanely similar, so now it's possible that Carter was a stretch at #19, because Feazell was a 2nd round #20 (#52, right?)
Plus, isn't Dexter Knox pretty highly rated? Fell after Carter. :/
Oh man, RG Boma was there in that Tribow pick. Good RG prospect that I could use right about now :/
So 1st draft for me was
#2 Bellows (Houston - Moss)
#19 Carter
#34 Tribow (Houston - Moss)
#46 Axel Onyegbule (Tennessee - FMT Rule!)
#48 Larry Mata (Jacksonville - FMT Rule!)
#55 Bryan Luescher (Baltimore - A. Thomas)
#66 Jye Martin (Houston - Moss)
I drafted FS Davon Morrison in the 2nd for someone, and HB Domico Middlebrook in the 3rd for someone. How did they turn out?
