I'm about the same as in the past but I've actually been pretty conscientious about trying not to throw any, but there are now hilarious looking spikes. My last five games interception wise look like - 0/0/1/0/4. And that 4 was in one half. Last season it was 0/0/0/7/7/0. Of course in the first game it will look like I'm just throwing a pick a game when it's not the case.
Worst part is it keeps Bradford on the stupid cold streaks.

Nah, now he can buy a HoFinley jersey!
Always and forever
Yeah there are a ton of picks that happen in the game that should be deflections or just flat out missed throws. I feel like in this game when there isn't a catch there's like three options:
1) Hilariously over/underthrown
2) Deflected/Dropped Pick
3) Intercepted
It seems like the moment the ball is thrown the ball is up in the air and whoever really has the best position to catch the ball where ever it is will end up getting it no matter what. It's a little retarded now that I think of it because I'm pretty sure my secondary makes better catches in traffic than my WR (Especially when they make physics bending body motions)

The pick that Qs DE made was a perfect example of this.
I had two wrs on the left and two tes on the right and I saw the outside te has a cushion and felt if I had enough time I could wait till he cleared the DE go into his break and pass lead to the sideline right and I should of had a TD as the LB or safety would have never made it in time to defend the pass.
I snap the ball saw the DE fighting my RT and I threw the pass and the DE shed the block threw himself sideways and backwards two feet in the air and made the pick! Game is trash. Not even JJ Watt would have been able to do that and he is a beast.

Sanjuro!!
Ballhawk isn't great but it's not the origin of game is garbage.
The picks often come on bad throws into coverage and missing windows.
Most of my picks are throws I shouldn't have made at all. I force it, I get greedy, LJ baits me, whatever -- it's usually on me.
Most of the people in this league don't and can't find holes in coverages and ballhawk certainly doesn't help that problem.

At this point the only throws I think ball hawk really fucks me on are fades where the corner is beaten and the safety shouldn't be able to react as quickly as they do. A safety who bites on a post shouldn't be able to insta-adjust and high point a fade/corner
I just don't throw them anymore though, so whatever.
That's pretty much exactly how I feel.
Auto pilot?
The past couple of GTA games all came out end of October. This is an early release.
No I didn't get to try it out last night. Ended up watching some TV with my wife then fell asleep on the couch. I'll give it a try later.
I'm going to try tonight, if nothing else I guess I'll create a game. Even the server browser never populated with a single game.
Bob, how is Omerta? There was a Mafia strategy game like 10 years ago or so, cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. I love that game.

It's a shock to me because they've kept saying spring.
I saw a post about a similar game in an Omerta thread. I think it is just called Gangsters.

My money was always on a fall release.
I'm not going to buy the hunter edition because Crysis made me watch that long ass video in the beta
Are you talking about the game where there are citizens, cops, doctors, and shit that people play on the bus?

Oh man you just made my day
It's cool, I enjoyed the hit and run vagina post. I won't be able to play tonight unless it's super late if at all.
Who did this to my good friend BigAT?
Me. But it was by accident. I called Velcro 9 and he snapped while i was changing guys which always sticks you at DT
I hope so.
?
Ballhawking isn't illegal. It's the glitchy "hold Y at the start of the play" that is/should be illegal. You're telling me you don't ever use ballhawk?

Boss battles in NNK are disappointedly easy so far :/
How far are you? I agree but I am about to take on the volcano boss and I hear that one is a bitch.

Just styled all over the volcano boss who i also heard was hard :/
I was level 18 when i fought him don't know how much that matters. Im sure the bosses scale up.
Spoilers below on how I beat him
I used oliver and stayed just out of range of his fire breath attack. For some reason the game things you are close enough to get hit so he uses it over and over and over and never hits you. Sit back and hit him with spells and make sure to defend his volcanic eruption thing and you have absolutely nothing to worry about
sooooooooooo disappointed in the temple of trials i figured that was going to be a bitch - and was kinda looking forward to it being that way!

Alright we'll knock it out tomorrow. What time is good for you? I'd prefer between 5-8pm est.
And just curious, what is super late in terms of EST tonight?
Crap. We'll talk about it.
