Holy shit you threw 50 picks, Trasher

Sometimes certain sacrifices must be made in order to benefit others.

Flacco was like Batman, and Sanders was like Harvey. He wasn't the hero the Ravens needed. He'll throw picks...because he can take it.

How long until Strasburg is shut down? I still can't believe he won't be pitching in the playoffs.

Around mid September. He should be hitting his innings limit around September 13th-15th or whenever he pitches during that week. We'll see though. A little bit of me suspects some awesome psych out where he actually pitches in the playoffs.

The worst part is I said that when it was 21 - 35... little did I know

UH GG Rors! Ponder went for 11 - 22, with 7 INTS, I almost completed as many passes to your players as I did mine.

Also the start of that game was so stupid, you get a returned interception, then I get a 80 yd pass, then you return a kick off, so I get a 80 yard run, and then you replied with a 61yd pass. Then in the second quarter I got a returned kick off as well. What a silly game!

After that start I really thought it was on All-Pro

Oh and like on two or three of your TDs I had a guy just waiting there for a pick, I press Y and he just stands there. What's up with that?! I might just have to hold Y from now on!

That long run was so dumb too... my guys just turned around in the middle of the play. And the long completion that I had was ridiculous too.. YOUR guys turned in the middle of the play. hahaha. That can't even be blamed on the right stick since it was when the play was going on.
 
FMTs slide begins now.

unless you have mike vick and can just drop back 20 yards and start running around in circles until the AI stops covering or a guy breaks open it wont help you. although, you still drop back 20 yards even with jpout so i dont know!

p.s.

rors i was around any CB was first to respond! besides, it's just a debbie downer list of what was wrong with the game after everytime i play you!

I vote to wait. We just finished Preseason in a league with some of my friends and really it's not worth doing. The XP is just so minimal. Maybe just practices would be fine and that can all be done in two days tops.

One thing I will say is I do not like the resigning aspect at all. You get one chance to resign someone and if not then that's it he goes into FA. You almost don't even want to give them lower than what they desire because you could risk them going right into FA. I gave a player like 500k less than his desired and he rejected it and is going into FA with no way for me to do anything about it.

The only game I've bitched after since our game was the game that just happened and Soka brought it up. Not like I lost. It was just one of those games. I'll post gifs in a little bit.

500k is not low balling but I don't see it as a negotiation at all. Either you offer then exactly what they want or lose them. Just seems weird that it doesn't give you a counter offer back based on what you offer to them or something.

If you sim it then you they offer an amount they'd accept?

Didn't totally get this question but basically you start negotiation with a player who is ready to resign, they want 3 years at 2 mill a year, you can offer whatever you want. You submit the offer and then the next week they tell you if they accept or if they reject it and if they reject they go to FA after the season automatically.


Speaking of that ill play my game tomorrow, if that's too late I understand!
Man I was looking for you on Steam and in game on GW2 couldn't find ya all day. The other four kind of been antsy to play so I had to sim :/ You did end up beating the Giants though so 1-0 for you.

In the single player CCM when you click on negotiate there's an option to sim it. At least I'm pretty sure I saw it.
