Will it also disconnect the internet at the same time?
GG. The game hated all my WRs not named Megatron. But the game hated Slaton way more. =/ Edit: Nm. Apparently the game just hated Titus Young who dropped four passes in total haha.
I didn't convert one third down play lolol. And the one where I thought I was going to get it I threw the ball immediately because of the terrible lag delay. I also missed that field goal because of that stupid delay too. Luckily 80% of the game was fine. I dunno what the hell was causing that lag. Did you get any of that at certain times?
I am so not used to playing with a lead and trying to run clock out. I was struggling in the second half.

wellington when i say "why dont you run more" im talking about when people run it twice on their first drive and then throw the ball 40 times.... which is basically what a lot of my games have boiled down to. and no, i'm not talking about me somehow going up by double digits within 1 possession. take last nights game against sok for instance. opening drive peterson has like 30 yards rushing. he pretty much ends the game with 30 yards rushing. the game was 14-10 near the end of the half and then sok threw a pick with about 10 seconds left trying to go deep and i got another fg, so 17-10 at halftime
sometimes when i play bob or cb or whoever they end the game with like 5 total rushes. maybe they are just doing that in community games, i dont know

Seems like tackles and tight ends really determine my run game, really lock up the outside for bigger gains. It's 1-3 yards, and if they block the outside I can rip off a 10-20, that's how it's been so far. Hard to get the consistent 3-5 yards.
Doesn't help that the camera tips off run imo, PA and run camera are a bit different, one is higher, so a manual LB player can really shoot the gap on iso/dive/inside zone, even off tackle if he's fast enough.
lol
got a good laugh out of this. i get tired of seeing bowman or willis shoot the gap for 2-3 yard loss, i then have to bounce it outside, good luck with the smith's on the left side.
Let me know how that goes. I wanted to put it all on bonus, but I was scared the AI logic would just look at salary. I just upped the contract because I really wanted to keep Branch. I know in previous years, you could cheat the cap with bonuses.

It's good to see you on the Knapp hate train. I hated him when he was in Atlanta, he was pathetic. Say what you will about Mularkey's predictability, at least it had good results for the most part. Koetter seems like a perfect fit for the Falcons offense, so far.

Will do, have a feeling the first go around will be like my NCAA recruiting experience and then I'll get the hang of it. I'll be upset if I lose my LG though.
I was on the hate train years prior. He was the OC here during a previous regime.
Ya it started lagging near the end of the 3rd.
I thought I had a chance and felt I improved my game over the last two weeks so even though I lost (and lost my starting ROLB for 4 weeks, THANKS!) I felt like it was an improvement for me. I just wish I had CJ back, I can't have much of a run game with Slaton back there.

I think he's the main reason Roddy was so shitty in his early years, well that and a QB who couldn't give two shits about learning the offense.
sim man, sim football
turbo'd on accident!
i made up for it by being on the other side of the map when it was time to roll..and when we were playing that mission was crazy. So many particles and and phsyx shit flying around.

yeah the physx on those assassin missions looked fucking awesome. this game is really good looking and you dont have to fuck with a bunch of settings to make it happen unlike rage and some other recent pc games. glad i supported them by buying this at somewhat near full price!
I was there, I seen it.
Look, I'm sorry I disconnected like I did. It was wrong and in bad taste. Like I told FMT, my life is pretty much in tatters right now and Madden is one of the few escape I have right now. The lag, coupled with my stress level lead to me making an incredibly poor decision.
I don't really know what else to say than that. I was upset, I made a bad decision and I wasted your time. And for that I apologize.
If I'm gonna be booted then I accept that. I can buy a lot of ramen with with the money I spent on Madden.
Here is a Russell Wilson Levi's commercial that has nothing to do with anything.
ramen is good
I should probably just kill myself.
no you probably shouldn't
Yeah it is. I still buy it from time to time, purely for enjoyment now rather than desperate financial necessity.
Hilarious that this still happens...
Rors got the benefit of this a couple times today, it's really infuriating.
No way brother. I'm here if you need someone to talk to!
Why would you hand the ball to steve slaton and his 50 carry rating.
TRASHER GO FIND BLUEMAX AND PLAY VOLLEYBALL WITH HIM

How reliable are the twitter messages? Says I resigned Levitre, which I'm happy about.
Basically was giving him 5 years with 5m bonus and 4.5m salary, upped it to 12m bonus and increased the years to 6 while keeping the salary the same. Seems to have worked.
Edit: Hope bluemax is fucking around. Keep your head up dude.
They've always been right for me. You usually fine out instantly if they do accept through twitter.
shit i forgot about our game. yeah we can try again
GG CB, that went about as poorly as any game possibly could have, I think. You definitely benefited more from the disconnect than I did. Let's tally the damage:
2 pick sixes to start the game off. A pick six to end the game. 2 more INTs in addition to that. A fumble recovery TD. A 97 yard run by McCoy. 4 red zone stops on 4th down. Injuring my starting WR, TE, and CB. 12 sacks I think? Ouch.

I would understand if you want me to play the AI bluemax. You have other things to worry about and we did experience a lot of lag last time.
Thanks for the update. I should have done the same with Branch since I was gonna keep him past the contract anyway. I was just so scurred.

Is it possible to renegotiate a contract with a player in the middle of the term, meaning it doesn't have to be the last year...?
Secondly, and it's none of my business but I play him next so I'm connected to it - what's the 'punishment' for bluemax? If I were commish I'd make them play again and have BM intentionally tank to ensure eznark gets the win. Further I would say that bench players should be at all the skill positions so that the important guys for him don't get XP as the actual punishment.
I am confident he would crush me if he sat guys anyway so there's that.

One of my tasks was to renegotiate with Brees (who's on year 1 of a 5 yr deal), so I assume you have to be able to. I dismissed the task, so I can't tell you for sure.
Who am I playing week 3? I'm around all day today to play and then I'm gone until Tuesday. So please sim Week 4 (5 if needed) or anyone can fill in for me. I will probably miss most of Season 1 due to work/personal travel.
Meet me somewhere.
