Is there any like playbooks that are clearly better than others or is it all about preference? I've always just used the playbook of whichever team I was playing as

Absolutely. It always comes down to preference, but there are certain plays/formations and routes that are more effective than others.

Pshhh, I have the OG of OG 360's. No HDMI port and only my 2nd one. Stands vertical and loud as fuck. Just how I like them

 

[CB3]

I bought a slim on launch. Gave my 2nd replaced old Xbox to a friend. It redringed on him like a month later. I knew it was coming!

 

[Smokey]

I'm still rocking the real OG PS3 though..the 60GB model. Had it since December of its launch year (FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS)! Still works fine although it's debatable if that's because it's built better or doesn't get as much use as the 360.

 

[McNei1y]

I had 3 OG xboxes (each one red ringed, all had warranties). Then bought an arcade. 2 years later, my family bought one of those black/slim xboxes for my bro and we switched.

 

[eznark]

Game anyone?

Ive got the same ps3 smokey. Glorious!

 

[Sanjuro]

I have a OG 360. Had two. The original launch one, then when the HDMI revision came out I exchanged it for that one.

 

[eznark]

Rematch sanj?

 

[Sanjuro]

Rematch sanj?

Sure. Are we able to use custom rosters online? Want to try out my Bledsoe!

BTW, the discount ninja discussion yesterday on here reminded me about something. For you bros that have the Amazon Visa or the Citi Forward card for additional cashback through Amazon, make sure to stack it with the 3% cashback from Fatwallet. So with the 3% from the Amazon Visa you're getting 6% cashback, with the Forward you're getting 8%.

 

[LukeSmith]

That's my favorite coverage: when there's an in or out route and the CB just runs away from the receiver. "Where the fuck are you going?!"

Yep, Percy Harvin "beat" corners on two of these in Soka and I's game. Seems amazing

percy harvin didn't do shit against me!

 

[Sokantish]

Percy really wouldn't have done that much that game either, I was just looking over there when his CB screwed up a couple times

 

[eznark]

Lol thus ends the annual playbook exploration

i just realized we are week 1 opponents! maybe i will have more luck against you than the real niners will have against the packers

 

[eznark]

Wow, Ballhawk lets everyone play like Rors!

i'm going to make a guarantee for week 1: you will have 0 interceptions

 

[eznark]

If you even have to pass once i will be stunned

 

[Sokantish]

I haven't had the chance to try ballhawk yet, one time I thought I did but then my guy just stood there and let the WR catch it and run it in for a TD.

 

[Sanjuro]

gg eznark. The first half is the closest I've ever seen myself run a fluid offense like that.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is Ballhawk the same as going for an interception in prior years? I'm not doing anything different.

 

[eznark]

The place i felt like i noticed it was tou closing on crossing routes from behind. At the end i was trowing them just to sort of test it and your DBs were making up three plus yards on crossing routes.

gg eznark. The first half is the closest I've ever seen myself run a fluid offense like that.

I dont know if the Ravens defense totally fucked my depth chart or what but good lord at the personnel. The game put Burnett at MLB for the majority of the game. Hilarious.

If you hold down Y instead of just pressing it it does all the work for you, I guess.

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh. I usually just run to the area and mash the Y button for a swat or pick.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

ballhawk is awesome. its about time tiburon had some give-back to the defense. i haven't seen a "bullshit" ballhawk yet where the ball didn't deserve to get picked. no longer can people just throw the ball up or at coverage without some risk

I agree for the most part, except the past couple games it seems like it's given trailing d-backs a speed boost. It doesn't bother me at all. I used to pretty much find the user-controlled dback and throw at him and it worked like 80% of the time. Now obviously that doesn't work which is cool.

Deep jump balls are totally dead now though if my experience is universal. I've picked off pretty much every end of half/game jump ball by just holding Y.

depends on who it is against. i can't say if my opponent used Y but ive gotten a few Moss jump balls when both players went up. although moss has a high jump/spec catch rating

Yeah, I got one with Jordy against Sanj but I don't think he had switched over to the defender.

To be fair I've only done it twice but it worked both times!

Nah, I had my defender on that ball. I was shocked he came down with that ball.

1 on 1 deep ball is an automatic interception for the defense.

 

[Ramirez]

My poor attempts at guarding AJ and CJ say no.

lulz, i see you haven't played against any number of good jump ball receivers in the game

 

[CB3]

Not when I throw them

 

[DCX]

This. Julio and Roddy get a fair share.

DCX

 

[LJ11]

anyone want to play?

 

[DMczaf]

anyone want to play?

I'll play.

 

[Colasante]

I tried the Splat method of just chucking deep to Larry and got picked off every time. So it's not exactly foolproof.

 

[LJ11]

I'll play.

cool, be on in a minute.

Welcome to my life for the last few seasons.

its not foolproof at all either way, that's my point. i think there has been a good balance from what i've seen

also, it looks like the roster updates are happening on friday. so if you still have games to play to decide your team i suggest you do it by friday!

 

[LiveWire]

McNeliy is 8:30PM or so tonight good?

Trasher, come out and playyyyyyy. Message me when you are ready on Xbox live or aim!

 

[Sokantish]

Does anyone want to play a game against future HoF quarterback, Christian Ponder?

 

[LJ11]

game wanted you take a loss anyway it could dm, fumbles, penalties, it finally got you with the disconnection.

you were stuffing the run too, but i was trying some different stuff during that second half drive and it may have been working, or not. really wanted to finish it.

 

[McNei1y]

Live i should be available for that time.
