I haven't seen the price of Live Gold go cheaper than $34.99 once the price went up to $59.99.

Hate paying for Live Gold. Might as well get the pain over with quickly so I stacked a couple years. I just hope I didn't fuck myself and somehow tiers change with the next Xbox.

That's what I'm thinking.

Can't believe no one else took his deal, kept repeating it in the thread but no one took him up on it. On the other hand one player I wanted didn't show up on my list when my pick was due but he was still on the board, so I never got the player I wanted, also had my on a DT but I went into panic mode!

Whatever, next draft.

I wasn't reading the thread :(

Lol if they did that I wouldn't buy the system. That'd be so shitty.

Played the 360 DmC demo, had the best dialog exchange ever in a game. Dante and this giant butt monster are sending barbs back and forth when this sequence occurs:

Butt Monster: Fuck you!

Dante : Fuck you!

Butt Monster: Fuckkkkkkk yooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It was so bad yet so awesome at the same time. This is enough for me to pick up the game when there is a Steam sale. I want to see how terribly awesome the rest of the story pans out.
 
gg rinse! that shit was fun

Finally a game without a boatload of turnovers on one or both sides of the ball. I wasn't even mad at the pick i threw... tried to throw to the wrong shoulder and got burnt for it. Shoulda thrown it away.

That catch on 3rd and long was so lucky lol. Then the very next play you hit a 60yd TD or something crazy. I was so pissed. I kept telling myself dont give up the big play! Make him burn clock and earn it... then i go and let that happen :/

Your running game had me off balance most of the game. I was glad i could grab the lead before the half and maintain it so i force you to pass more. If i was playing from behind all game and you could continue to run i was fucked.

edit----

Cant believe I am 5-3!
 
M Flenorl playing with dat Aaron Rodgers chip on his shoulder against the #1 QB

Lol I just remembered the 3rd down catch, tipped off Carroll (who keeps dropping passes btw) and into Watson's hands.

I was cheering at first cause i thought i stopped you then i saw 1st and 10 - "what the fuck!?!" ... and apparently you saw something in the coverage that you liked, hurried up right after that, and hit 60yrd bomb.

Why didn't I change coverages? what a dumb mistake :(

What difficulty are you playing NNK on? I was reading the official thread and it seems easy is regular and regular is hard to batshit hard. I'm on regular right now and I haven't run into any problems but I'm not very far in.

i'm playing on regular. i'm about 9 hours in an there have been some difficult parts but nothing i would call complete bullshit. i think once people realize that R2/L2 can be used to scroll the battle menus it makes it a bit easier. before i realized that, i was having to do an awkward hand motion of having my left thumb on the stick, then moving my right hand over to the D-pad to switch menus and moving it back to the buttons to select.

Regular. I died for the first time (nightmare monster dude) last night about 8 hours in.

What made it easier for me was when I realized you can cancel your own actions with O. I knew about the scrolling stuff but was sitting in defense and attack longer than necessary at times.

GG Wellie. For some reason I can't stop your goal line toss. It's a guaranteed touchdown apparently.
GG

I audible to it when people come out in the goal line formation. My guys are excellent blockers when they are pulling, so it works really well for me.

My first round rookies came up huge in that one. Combined for 12 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 INT and an FF.

Haha same

I felt embarrassed when I finally figured out you could use R2/L2. Almost died running around while trying to fight with the controller.

Yeah they don't really explain some of the more 'advanced' stuff you need to do to stay alive. Also I loaded up on bread! Life saver in a pinch
 
gg Shake, your adjustments at the line really threw me for a loop on D.

Played very poorly, messed up that potential tying/winning drive

The battle of last place in the AFC South is officially on for next week.

Jut played @ IND and my upcoming sched is JAX,HOU,@JAX,NYJ,@HOU. Division time.

I hate when a manual controlled player is causing holding calls by shaking like a moron and then they accept them! I need higher awareness blockers.

gg DM. I hurt myself the entire game. Also, I hate tapping A to fast... fucking threw and int right after the snap.

I was so pumped when I got the ball back down by one score; unfortunately, I immediately threw an int.

I thought I was making progress on defense but I still can't stop comebacks and out routes. My corners are literally fucking idiots. I'm also ashamed that I tried to hit stick rather than tackle you... I gave up two/three touchdowns because of that. Oh well, I'll learn from it.

I've never seen this happen. Seems bush league to me. Create a penalty by breaking the game logic and then accepting it.
