It feels so good, as long as Jim doesn't make the call
Its tough from a ratings perspective. On my team alot of the guys rated highly deserve to be so, besides Vick. Jax and DRC took decent falls, but you cant really take off ratings from physical attributes. (For example, Jax and DRC are gonna be fast no matter what, even if they had a bad year) And alot of what madden is are just those attributes.
Its why guys like Noel Devine can put up stupid numbers. Its easy to point out my team specifically because they failed so hard, but we all benefit from it. See: Chris Owusu.
Because he's a scrub. I have no idea what these other defense are doing.
Owusu can get shut down, though. And it's not just the speed or the agility or whatever. It's actual ability and injury ratings.And in the end Owusu is in his 60s while Vick and co are nowhere near that.
Owusu will never get a yard out of me! This I guarantee!
Overall hardly matters. Dallas Strong was my best WR last year and he was like 75 OVR.
But the ability stats matter. DRC is still rated high where it matters and so is Nnamdi. OVR is just a reflection of that.
I won't be there, but we will face each other if the league goes on long enough! By then, Owusu will be a seasoned vet. 69 overall!
Watching as Owusu runs streaks down the sideline and Sok threads the needle between my corner and safety every time.
Yes you did.
lol Game started off awesome when my depth chart from when I did practice apparently didn't have CJ in the game. Kept looking for CJ on the field, but he wasn't there! Smokey's secondary is pewping all over me. Even when my guys actually seem open, his dudes accelerate up and snatch the ball away.
I also fumbled a kickoff and Smokey snatched it up for a TD. Phil Sims then proceeded to praise my kick returner and blockers for a TD that was scored by the other team.
What the hell are you talking about?
Damn the man one of the coolest producers and occassional hosts on 670 the score is taking a gig in Atlanta.

Why am I in XCUM? It's a FPS Call of Duty: Man, right?

gg birdles. didn't adjust well on defense in the 2nd half and jimmy graham made me pay. i got to brees once but there were a bunch of times where i was a step late! thank god for those turnovers in the first half though
GG FMT. It went a lot better for me once I stopped making stupid throws into coverage, but your guys just always seemed to be in the right place. 2 Gore fumbles, but my D couldn't pick them up, and I kept giving the ball away in the 1st half.
Well, I made it through the toughest stretch of my schedule with a 2-3 record. Not great, but it could've been worse. Hopefully, I can get back on track and finish strong and lock up a playoff spot. There's still a lot of work to do though.

yeah gore was putting the fucking ball on the ground like nothing. i was getting good yardage but had to start passing more. i even bought the cover ball trait! but every 4th or 5th game gore will just fumble no matter what i do. i got lucky with those fumbles!

Do any of you bums want to play?
All right I did some number crunching, it looks like some games have been played since I started on this but whatever! I present to you:
The percentage is percentage of drop backs (pass attempts + sacks) that resulted in a negative outcome: incompletion, sack or interception. As you can see only 10 of the QBs in the league have better than 50% of their drop backs result in something positive.

The game randomly assigned CB an awesome nickname. Someone wasn't happy about it. Eznark has the best assigned nickname of anyone so far, and when they sent me a new recruit who was already a Sgt, his name was Carlos, so I did what must be done.
Soka, not pictured, is injured for 8 days
lol Slim. How fitting for me. I love how you use my real name.
lol no it wasn't! Most boring game ever. Even for you probably! I let my stupid mistake on that first drive just ruin me mentally. I'm not gonna say I would have had a good chance at even beating you, but I could have given you a much better fight than that. My defense actually didn't do too bad. It was all mainly my own user mistakes, and stupid turnovers.
Btw, during that game I went to audible and something interesting happened. When the menu popped up I tried to scroll down to the play I wanted, and instead it moved my defender off the line and into the o-line causing an offsides. Is that a fucking bug?
Yeah I'm off Friday, so I can play at any time during the day.

Saturday is actually pretty awful for me. The 10 AM time is the only time I could really get my game in that day with Cola.
I should be home all of Sunday, only time I won't play is while the Giants are stomping out the Niners.
Wow I'm awful, but I'm pretty good relatively!
You don't have to scroll up or down for audibles, just press the button next to it!
Only because you don't get sacked as much as some of the others. Probably because you have a good O-Line and receivers who don't get stalled as much by press.
Still, being essentially 4th worst isn't really something to be proud of. Especially since you pass twice as much as the other guys around you.
Those low sack totals help!
Honestly though anyone who has <20 INTs at this point in the season is pretty much in the upper half of this league in passing ability.
Ya I replied further up.
For the hell of it:
I grouped them by teams that are well below .500, teams that are within 1 game of .500 and teams that are 2 or more games above .500 at this point.
Basically, all the teams that are winning the most have something "bad" happen on less than 50% of their drop backs. Teams in the middle of the league are off by about 10-15% of their drop backs (except for DCX) and teams at the bottom are at about 55% or higher (except Sanjuro).
There are a couple of obvious outliers but you get the point.
What's kind of interesting as I look over this, is how most of the QBs fall where you'd expect them based on who they are in real life. Palmer and Fitzpatrick are both over achieving (and Alex Smith to a degree) while Ryan, Flacco and Rodgers are all underachieving.

That stat measures outcomes, and since it is trying to show effectiveness vs. ineffectiveness, it shouldn't distinguish between a spike and an incomplete pass, as the outcomes are identical and you can easily argue that the incomplete pass has more positives than a spike. Claiming all incomplete passes are necessarily worse than a spike it completely and utterly idiotic and to me renders the novelty of this novelty stat moot.
