Take your time, I might not be available for a bit. Not home yet. Tomorrow night might be better, but I'll let you know if I can go tonight.

Alright. Latest I can start is 8:40 pacific. I can also play after 1030 PST if you can go that late.

If tomorrow is better, then I'm available after 6 I think.

Looks like the MLB game is off tomorrow... *deletes*

The Vikings welcome Lance Briggs to their roster for a 1st round pick and defensive lineman Tennell. This will be a vital addition to the defensive roster with the plan of switching to a 3-4 defensive scheme.

With Shaun Ellis, Kevin Williams, and Jared Allen completing the 3 man defensive line. Paul Poszlusny, Chad Greenway, Lance Briggs, and Erin Henderson rounding out the linebacker core should make running the ball extremely difficult for all opponents in Season 5 of the GAF league.

Would Allen work in a real life 3-4 System, as a 3-4 DE? Or would he be moved to Jack LB (OLB)?

Madden Allen, probably won't matter

Maybe he needs corners. DL sounds pretty badass.

They'd probably move him to OLB or trade him. Don't think he'd work very well as a DE in a 3-4 system.

i think allen could succeed at either OLB or de in the 3-4 defense in real life, much like justin smith has succeeded at 3-4 DE for the 49ers in real life

Define "succeed."

Think Allen's in the 260 lb. range, which just seems small for a 3-4 DE. A true one, anyway. At 260, you're either the Jack LB, or the MLB :lol

making the probowl and being a key piece to a top 10 defense? :D

Pro Bowl is a measure of success? Then yes, anyone can succeed. Just look at Favre's season with the Jets. Or Romo's first starting season where he shit the bed at the end!

Hey, shut your mouth. Briggs is going to feast in a Vikings uniform, especially with all that talent around him. 1-5-5 proved to be to fancy and fast for him :D In minney, he's going to do what he does best!

take a look at his numbers bruh. practically unheard of from a 3-4 end: 55 tackles, 6 sacks, 2 FF last season. these guys are just supposed to eat up blockers but he is making plays himself!

i wouldn't expect a raiders fan to know about that! all you guys have is good CB play! i'm perfectly fine with our 7 mediocre cb's!

Are you sure that Justin Smith ONLY played in the true 3-4 DE spot, or did he spend time in the Rush OLB spot?

i watched every play of every 49ers game last year. he never lined up as an OLB. the closest thing is our "magic" formation where we have every LB and DL standing up so the o-line doesn't know who is blitzing, but he was still lined up across from the guard in those situations.

also justin smith does have about 30 pounds on jared allen now that i review his weight. meh

I don't know, about to head to sleep in 15-20 minutes. But I'll see how I feel when you get home.

Don't know if I even want to bother playing the pickup game. I was in control, almost a perfect game. Which wont happen again. Just scored a rd, up 21-7, 2 minutes before the half, and I get the ball in the kickoff after halftime.

Fuck

Well, I'm fine finishing after 9, but I'd have to finish by 930 and it takes an hr or so... so I wouldn't make it if we started at 9. If we start at 8 or 830 that's fine.

Ok, let's shoot for 8* because I'd like to finish around 9 or so. I'll just switch my workout from 8 to 9.

*Depending on my work load. I'm 99% certain I should be home by then.

I hope EA/Tiburon make the 3-4 work better in '11. I used a 3-4 with bigger LB's outside and tried going for good attacking (AWR, BLS, and TAC) 'backers inside. They'll surely downgrade D'Qwell, I'm sure. Just need a beast inside like Rogers (I'm betting Rubin is higher, or at least he should be) inside clogging up the middle; they need to improve the interaction between DL/OL, also, because with Rogers' numbers, a single OL shouldn't push him away easily.

EA had a Gameflow and Gameplanning chat. The only important thing to come out of it

4:06 Madden NFL Dev Team:
You can change the playcall style settings option ingame, so you can change between gameflow and conventional playcall whenever you want (except online)

4:07 Madden NFL Dev Team:
With online games the playcall style has to be chosen before starting the game, since both players need to use the same playcall style to avoid desyncs
Click to expand...

Unrelated, but thought it was cool

4:46 [Comment From CHRIS]
CAN YOU USE A HEADSET TO HEAR THE PLAYS BEING CALLED FOR YOU WHEN PLAYING HEAD TO HEAD? OR DOES IT JUST COME THROUGH THE TV SPEAKERS?

4:47 Madden NFL Dev Team:
If both of you have headsets plugged in then each of you will hear the audio from your coordinator

The fuck is this crap? Well, whoever I play next season be prepared to not use the gameflow crap, I am never using that shit.

What if you win the Giants? You can use Osi at OLB with Kiwi or Sintim, Canty and Tuck at DE, but you need to find an NT. Boley and maybe Wilk at ILB?

The only thing that sucks is that everyone on the team except for Bradshaw is so fucking slow. It was fine in season one but with the rookie drafts EA's "Let's make everyone slower" philosophy for this year went out the fucking window.

Is this a silenced shot fired from the hip of luke smith?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I didn't know what he's talking about. Its either going on 4th down on his 40 yard line (no mans land) or the user pick when I controlled Barwin off the line into zone.

If getting 2 ints out of him and scoring points is some kind of cheesy play...I don't know.

I think we should make human subs a requirement for this last season. I don't even care who but I hate seeing these bullshit stats. Nothing against you Daw but I played all my games against humans (I picked the hardest subs I could find too) I just think it'd be better if we all were having the same competition, win or lose.

It would help the stats, but I was thinking more about fun factor. Playing the cpu is boring even when using "ask Madden." With gameflow, and following the orders of the coaches, it might get interesting.

It will be interesting to see how Madden 11 will be accepted. Alot of new options put in the game in one year. I do feel as though it is the first year since back in the David Ortiz days that they are trying their best to think about the guy who loves Madden, but only plays the game casually.

It will be curious to see how the online changes/updates will be received when announced.

I know it is silly, but I am loving the headset thing. I think Stuntman was the only other game to use something similiar. I hope the coach yells something when you audible out of the play.

Just think of all the possible Chew-the-Gum and Adjust-The-Hat Mini Games that you can do while on the sidelines as Manning!
