Okay I didn't mean to ask that. I meant to ask, when do you want to play?
I lowered his asking price by neglecting him all year!

Sok let me know dude, I'd have to leave in the next few minutes so I can get home in time.
Must be nice not to have to work. ;(

If we play tonight it will have to be after based Wilson destroys the Niners!
My stock squad that XCom gave me. I thought it was a good sign of things to come, but the asshole panicked when he was poisoned (didn't even get shot!) and shot a van that two of my guys were hiding behind and blew them both up. Petridis and Cissoko were killed and Owusu got a promotion for that mission. Cissoko was a sniper and now I don't have one!
if it's gonna be that late I'd probably prefer tomorrow night, is that doable?
oh, forgot about the game tonight anyway.
Yea tomorrow night is fine.
I use every single point I get for McFadden on his injury rating and a few on carry. You guys need to upgrade the basics! Fuck the fancy shit!
Then again, McClain had a 92 rating and still got clipped!

As predicted I just have no answer for Soks O.
I just told one of these kids to look up information on a patent that I think their idea would infringe on and I don't think he understood one word of the sentence.
You're supposed to just tell them it's a great idea and that they are geniuses! Or else you're just a hater.

To his credit you didn't understand what you said either. Just regurgitating something you heard on tv!
Have any of you seen that show I shouldn't be alive? Some messed up things in there but also some dumb shit. Episode I saw yesterday dude thought it would be a good idea to sail by himself across the Atlantic to some islands...storm hit and he was stuck on a life raft for 76 days and had to rely on wind and currents to get him across sea and was almost dead before he was found. Another dude went hunting and a bear charged him and he got mauled. Bear left him alone and dude thought it would be a good idea to punch the bear in the face and he got his thigh ripped off.
I immediately thought WHAT WOULD EZNARK DO

GG pal. You are excellent at picking up the strange coverages I was throwing your way. It was one of those games, you're right. Weird since I haven't gotten such bad breaks like this at home all season.
First pass play of the game, completed to Winslow, he fumbles.
First drive was bland defenses to see what I was up against then I started getting funky. I got an interception and my guy was tackled as he was falling out of the endzone. I get the ball back at WITHIN my own 1 yard line. The only break I caught all game - a fucking 99 yard TD run, the game called it a 100 yarder, either way it was awesome as shit and I was back in the game 7-7.
Things went hay-wire after that. I mentioned the lag above, it caused me to double tap A to get a snap off and it bulleted a pass right into big Kevin Williams for an int. Now down 14-7
Next drive I get stuck deep in my own territory again. 3rd and long at my own 5 I called a play out of shotgun to get some time, to read the field. I really wish I could save replays, I was jamming on X as Brian Quick was open but with the lag it didn't register and I took a safety. 16-7
Other key turning points were (what I thought was) a BS intentional grounding call where I was out of the pocket and threw it away due to the pressure. Set me up at 2nd and 24. I called a pretty sweet play to get Amendola free, and he was, for what would have been approximately a 17 yard gain but the fucker was so wide open he must have freaked out and dropped it. Would clutch fix that?
I'm also really pissed with Jenkins and it's why I wanted a top CB. The guy just gets stupid after the ball is caught and backs away from the receiver. It happened against FMT and happened here again to allow a long gain. I don't know what to do with this fucking guy anymore, he's on the trading block if anyone wants him.
Don't get me wrong, I made some strategic mistakes. Sending a blitz on 3rd and 26 because I figured with Harvin out I should be able to press you into the ground, and really going away from the run was a bad move too. I thought I was in the game to start the 4th as I only needed a TD and 2 pt but then the grounding happened.
Oh well, back against the wall and I no longer control my own destiny. In order to make the playoffs I have to win out and hope that Sok loses one. The way I've been playing up and down to my competition, I don't think that's going to happen.
I wonder how the drafting system will work when the draft board comes up.
Say it's your turn to pick, or it's coming up shortly, and all the players you scouted during the season are gone... how are you going to draft any of the players? Won't they all have ?'s? It's be like you're choosing a player blindly. I wonder if they'll allow you to use your remaining points (if you have any) on players left.

By the way, Bradford took a massive shot and I thought he was going to be out for the game, and even the announcers said it was a huge injury and he wouldn't be coming back, but then he was back on the next play. What the heck happened?
Well, you at least have their size/productivity to go on.
The announcers in general seem to be completely wrong when it comes to evaluating injuries. Gave me a lot of near heart attacks before I learned to dismiss what they say.
Cola and I killed each other's TEs last night. Was good times.
They are fucking wrong about everything they talk about...except when telling you when the defense is adjusting and the offense is using audibles.

Good point. There are those things. But I wonder if we have the ability to use the points during the draft or at least leave the board to go to the scouting menu.
Is that still in the game this year? I'd be so bummed. I mean I'm sure it is but all my points I put into Fletcher and Moss and they're going to suck again!
"THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO PRESS COVERAGE!"
I've noticed that but I was wondering if it was just the timing... I was always calling it whenever one of them were rambling on about something hoping that the audio file wouldn't be interrupted.

It's a fucking awful level.
You're not able to scout during the draft. Best to get it all done before the offseason starts. Unless it changed from the last time I played offline.
