I'm pretty sure Ramirez is one of the traitors who was supposed to be on the nhl team

First of all suck one. Second, that's a bad analogy cuz you can tell from the name of the rule violation what the hell a 3 seconds is. In hockey the whole damn playing field/ice or whatever it's called IS MADE of ICE... how the hell is somebody who doesnt follow the sport supposed to know what Iceing is?!

lol

Has the Vita been discontinued yet?

Responding really late to this but from what I've been messing around with, the AWR is a modifier similar to what Livewire was saying last year. I don't think it's to the degree where it's the determining factor on making plays on balls in the air but I think it plays an integral part along with MCV/ZCV, as well as an overall modifier to how good those other stats are. I have a corner with really high MCV and he sucks compared to guys with lower MCV but higher AWR.

IMO it's of higher importance to have defenders with high AWR than offensive players, but my low AWR receivers are the guys that let the ball fly past their heads and the high AWR guys are the ones that dive for the ball.

I would not waste my time with AWR on a QB or HB.

In line with this, I almost wonder if when someone user's a player if it's worth considering the awareness of that player as a theoretical 99. In the case blue mentioned with that "bad" linebacker that turned to an 80 at max awareness.

I.e. if you are a linebacker player, and that's going to be what you play, the stats you probably care about are: speed, accel, agility, block shedding and tackling, because you can make up all of the coverage deficiencies on your own.

Also, LJ, why don't we pool our resources on scouting, maybe get you, wellie and I in together and researchhhhhhh

 

[McNei1y]

So are you guys saying we should put AWR into players we rarely control and that it could have an effect on their play?

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh, shit. There is a Mac client for Guild Wars 2 now. I might actually attempt playing it now.

This is what I've been preaching (per Wellie's post) for a long time now.

 

[TheCrow]

This is what I've been preaching (per Wellie's post) for a long time now.

I thought most people already knew this. But then again I also thought most of us knew that overall didn't mean anything. However there are some stats for certain positions that I raise before awareness.

 

[eznark]

I didn't even know there was actually an XP mechanic. I thought you guys were joking.

 

[McNei1y]

Well I never knew it did much aside from making your overall higher but if it is the stat that attributes every stat then maybe it could be worth it.

In NHL awareness helps a lot of the other attributes out so I guess it's the same thing for madden... I'll make sure to start using that stat too.

 

[TheCrow]

I don't think you'll have to worry too much about it.

 

[LukeSmith]

I don't think you'll have to worry too much about it.

Wow, and you guys are supposed to be a defensive pairing

 

[eznark]

I don't think you'll have to worry too much about it.

Screw you Frodo!

I also think this is the case for "big hitter trait", not talking about hit power attribute specifically.

you getting bold sucka

Ceelo avatar? For shame. You should be rocking a Tomlin avatar with those sweet ass shades he was wearing in dusk last Sunday! Tomlin doesn't care if the sun isn't out anymore, wearing them like a boss.

Is our game going to be on SmokeyTV™?

Now that there is a OSX client, I might give it a shot. I'm in the same boat though. Little quick to the trigger for the MMO genre where I never seem to get into.

 

[Smokey]

Depends on if I can get my connection sorted out with Comcast. Not getting the speed I should be and there is a work order in to look into it. That's why I didn't stream the game against Phee.

 

[LukeSmith]

You should sort it out and put it on SmokeyTV to honor Steve Sabol:

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Seriously, this dude brought me more joy over the years than almost anyone in entertainment.

I agree OVR didn't and doesn't mean much, but from what I've seen I believe that AWR is much more important this year than before. I had AJ Green and Nicks as rookies and they became monsters even with 50 AWR. I agree with your second statement though.

Personally I'm using a tiered approach and improving the same stat across the board per position. There are some minor upgrades that really help a lot IMO.

 

[Splat]

Why don't they do NFL Game of the Week any more? That shit was awesome.

 

[CB3]

Because NFL network turned into a turd

It had to go ESPN-ish to get ratings. It's like how the other networks had to stoop to Fox News level to get more viewers.

Sounds good.

Overall never meant much to me personally, remember that garbage team I road to the SB on the backs of 60 rated receivers with speed/elusiveness/break tackle, also had really speedy linebackers that I would user or just send on blitzes. All I had was a beast line and the Tom Brady clone.

Speaking of the clone, I know QB AWR shouldn't matter but I'm always playing with a shitty one and it seems like the good ones put he ball just above a LB's head without me even leading it, or that's how it was in years past. Still wouldn't invest in it for backs or qbs.

and then they hired McNabb

Thats a step in the right direction!

The NFL in general just doesn't give a fuck about the product it puts out, they know we'll watch anyway. Just like EA with Madden.

 

[eznark]

Bob can you go at 6 est?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I like nfl network for the most part. It could be better but at least it's watchable most of the time unlike espn. Although I do love espnews

 

[BigAT]

NFL AM is pretty fucking terrible, I don't know who thought it would be a good idea for a show. The NFLN gameday crew is relatively solid though.

 

[Mrbob]

Bob can you go at 6 est?

No. I'm not home till 9 central.

 

[Sokantish]

I vote Bob has to forfeit.

 

[Wellington]

No. I'm not home till 9 central.

As painful as it is Bob, we play next. What times are good for you from Wednesday on?

 

[eznark]

No. I'm not home till 9 central.

Close Hardees early and lets playyyy

 

[Wellington]

Close Hardees early and lets playyyy

Wow.

 

[Mrbob]

Coming from the guy making excuses last night so we couldn't play then.

I'll just play the CPU when I get home.

Packers would have a better chance.

 

[Mrbob]

That's true. I played the CPU Packers last year and it sucked so cheesy.

 

[eznark]

Ill be around at ten. I was hoping we could knock it out and play some borderlands

I feel like in your pursuit to mock Bob you're also mocking Hardees and I'm not sure how I feel about that

Hardees has the best commercial out right now.
