Yeah, the site is the one thing killing my enthusiasm for this league. With LM and the old EA site (with sablescript) I could sit at work and look at stats, standings and all that stuff. This year's site has none of that, plus it looks and runs like crap.
It's pretty awful.
Yeah, the same just happened to me at K-Mart.

Maybe I should link our league to LM for basic standings and stuff

Psssh, the way I feel right now, any additional pick in the first round would be immensely helpful. My secondary stinks, my back seven aside from JLau and Finnegan are replacement level, my WRs can never and will never get open - even Amendola, 3 out of 5 slots in my OL are only better than their backups or whats available in FA due to progression... I need help everywhere.
I hope that I'll make an FA acquisition or two and with the draft picks I should be much more competitive by the end of next season after the first rounders progress. I need to make the playoffs to get rid of my F- prestige so I can actually sign an FA.
I'll mention again, now that we're getting close to the end of the season, whatever is the earlier pick in the first round is available for trading up purposes. I need additional picks!
That'd be awesome.

Nice work dude.

it's not you, it's me.
I can't keep up with this thread, don't look at it for a couple hours and I'm 6 pages behind.
Ooh the website is updated, you can compare your team weekly to up to 2 other teams. Gonna play around with this a bit.
Random notes while looking at the standings, every division has 2 teams with a positive point differential EXCEPT the NFC South which only has one.
In most of the divisions the two teams with positive point differentials are in first and second. The lone exception is the NFC North.
The NFC West is the closest division to having 3 teams with positive point differentials. Then again it is also the closest to joining the NFC South in having only 1 with a positive differential.
Unsurprisingly FMT has the highest point differential in the game. The Jaguars have the worst, yet sit 1 game in front of the Titans!
4 teams are +200, 3 are -200. FMT is almost +300. The teams with +200 are in the same divisions as the teams with -200, except for the Raiders.

Since someone asked about the AFC playoff picture, right now you have:
AFC North: Stealers
AFC South: Houston
AFC East: Bills
AFC West: Raiders
Wild Cards: Colts, Broncos
Still in the mix: Bengals, Dolphins, Chiefs
Dolphins and Chiefs are longshots, although the Dolphins probably get a slight boost depending upon how many of their AFC East brethren they have left. The Bengals and Colts could both win their divisions still.
Looks like 1 9 win team at least will get left out of the AFC playoffs.

The team stats page is kind of nice though. Lets you see your overall ranks, your per game averages and your salary cap info!
And it lets you compare against another team, so you can quick compare against your next opponent or something.
Yeah, that's nice.
You could already do that on the site under "launch schedule" or by clicking on the game preview at the bottom.
Yeah I know, but this way is a little smoother I feel.
Also the graphs that let you visualize where you are compared to others. I actually score the same number of points per game as the Titans
Yeah, that kind of shit will get you murdered in the AFC!I actually score the same number of points per game as the Titans
I've also allowed 900 some odd yards less of offense and 214 less points, so that helps!
One thing I've noticed is that Somnia is by far the best punter in the league. Shit ain't even close. I'm second place and I can't do it as well as he can. He was good at it last year too. I can't get the angles I want this year on a consistent basis, but he seems to be money at those coffins.

I'd have been worse with differential but FMT took it easy on me and only beat me by 49.
Agreed, he has been unbelievable for years with punts.

Correction, the AI beat you by 49
I think he said he was gone until this Friday?

Nah man I will give credit where it's due. Your offense was borderline unstoppable in our game. I've been all smoke and mirrors on D this season, you exposed me like crazy.
I agree with you.
I've already explained this, only poor people have jobs
Yea I was in Vegas this weekend, now I'm in Niners country for a work conference.
Oh and Wellie, I think we split the tab last I was in NYC, but not sure? Either way that bar was awesome; wheel o' Jäger shots!!
Toss me some bucks so I can be a free man and practice on my NHL game.

Damn, sorry.
When are you coming back? I play you after the advance.

The time of the year when my already massive backlog increases! Wonderful!

Some of it is fake pressure..my internal clock is tickling faster than it should.
My reads are slow. Reading the defense and reading the route and timing is off. I throw to late or to early.
Off a press ( which is super human this year ) my WRs don't get good space off the PRS. Julio is 94 rls and Roddy 92 I should be breaking the PRS of high 70 low 80 CB all the time. I rarely do.
User defenders keep my eyes on them to much. I try to outsmart them all game which keeps my reads to one maybe two.
I'm pressing. I'm forcing shit. I'm trying to hard. Sometimes I make a great read and it sails.
Sometimes ball hawk lol
Its just all of it all at once. Turner isn't doing all that well..but I don't run enough either. Sigh.

Luke is starting to creep me out with his XCom fan fiction. Reminds me of people who played the Sims too much.
