can you throw less than 63 INTs with matt ryan?
Actually I seem to remember you freaking out about Fitz too then backing down when sanjo gave you trouble.
The problem is you set a standard with crow. You took away his player. Hell, last night you were pretty mad about Ramirez on AIM too. But then ram came at you strong and you went backed it down again.
If you say you are gonna do something, do it. You can't just go "fuck it, no rules" when you have to make a decision on something that effects an important game or a person that will stand up to you.
Ramirez stay padded. No doubt. Others have done it to since crow. If you wanna throw me in that conversation for running the ball, go ahead. Stop being a pussy
You have been less than consistent this year and i cant point to why that is, but its especially jarring. Its why i didnt want to be involved with the shadow council anymore.

I believe I threw less with f'n Weeden! :jnc
So you're saying Ponder to Owusu was too powerful so you had to stop me from doing it, but you didn't want to actually punish anyone except for the first week. I think I got it now!

I only wish I had a QB-WR combo for people to complain about.

if ramirez did this against a human opponent i think it's a different conversation. and it's not that there are "no rules", its that i'm finding more and more that a lot of these issues are subjective (as i have given plenty of examples!) regarding stat padding/running up the score.
hell i beat cola 63-3 and scored a couple rushing TD's with gore in the final 2 minutes! now i can say "well he threw a pick and i ran the ball in on the goal line!" but couldn't i have just run it up the gut into the linemen and ran more clock? yeah, i could have. doesn't that constitute padding gores stats?
This game is trash, dude.

You can borrow one of mine, I don't really need both of them. I do need a defense though. Maybe we can trade?
Yeah, it does. That's what I was saying during the season! If you wanted to make it a rule you should have enforced it, you jerk

I understand that don't go hand in hand but at the same time has Fitz had another 20 catch game? I could make the argument he had a game of a lifetime within the confines of a game.
running up the score AND stat padding is the crime here. The fact he tried to mask the running up the score by punting in the redzone is downright shameless. Yes coming from me
Its whatever. I like the rules. They should stay. If user catching is allowed, we will have to change addresses. www.madengaf.com/sharkwaters

Borrow? I'm imagining a scenario where teams are trading two players back and forth every few weeks.

user catching isn't allowed. i only asked about it because i saw it happen in 1 game and wasn't sure if it was still an issue. it's obvious that it is so it will stay banned! don't user catch!

He really wasn't trying to mask it by punting, he was just trying to not run it up. Too bad he was stat padding, though!
About you? You tell me your ninja turtles history and then we'll let the topic go to you!

Fitz had two monster games. Both against Ferny and his swiss cheese defense.

Unlike you I can beat the Shredder. I padded stats on him.

just think, you both would've been better off. dcx wouldn't have disgraced one of the best offenses in the game and you would have a good team
How is stand padding against the CPU different than a human other than the respect factor? You are still skewing stats, and exploiting AI for XP and glory. You can't have it both ways. You want to be everyones pal instead of making decisions that might make you look like the bad guy. There has been stat padding before and since crow. Against humans and AI. So why was he the only one punished?

i don't give a shit if everyone is pals and i don't give a shit about XP. it was always about being respectful to your opponent because there were people who complained about the score getting run up on them.
its always about the XP glory! and as i said a few times already, the fact that some of these stat padding instances are subjective is the entire reason that i don't want to bother with it anymore. champ was suspended after crow ran up the score and said he knew he shouldn't throw it but still did. with stat padding, i don't think you would be very happy if after you played the cowboys i said "hey btw i need you to sit mccoy for 4 games.... i think you padded his stats in the game. sorry!"
Wasn't it 4th and 26? I can't remember now, though! Ask Eznark, he should know.
I don't think Ram should be punished. I don't think the rules need changing. I don't think anyone is asking you to please everyone FMT. That seems to be your core argument. That you lose if you do and you lose if you don't, so you just won't. Howabout we stick with what's been working for a little while longer? One person complaining isn't 31 people bitching at you. It just feels that way.

24-10 halftime lead. we all have our ghosts bobby! we all have our ghosts
Yeah. I agree with this. But I still don't know what should be done about the whole stat padding situation.

it's best not to think about the past.... it will consume you! your main thing now is to remember you have HFA and trust THAT to get you the win
I'm just going to score now. I could have taken an INT back to the house when I was up 33 to 7 with 30 seconds left against Cola. However I stopped at the 5, got tackled, and took a knee to end the game. I didn't feel the need to finish off with 40 points.
If others are going to stat pad, so will I.

Oh well isn't that just grand.
It wasn't working though, people were still running it up/stat padding and not getting punished. Some people started following the new rule and watched their poor WR/QBs get passed up easily. Now I'm not saying it was Ponder, Owusu, or Harvin that got left behind... but it was! Although I think losing Ponder for 4 weeks had more to do with that, really.
People already did that Bob, I stopped on INTs early because I was way ahead out of respect of my fellow madden friends. Others didn't though and FMT said it's okay to run INTs in for TDs. Apparently the only way to stat pad in FMT's eyes before was passing the ball for more than 15 yards.

not sure that would've been considered running up the score. i think people have always been of the opinion that returning an INT or fumble for a TD was fair game, no matter the score!
I know there isn't a consensus but it just felt like a dick move scoring in that situation.
It wasn't working because no one thought FMT would actually do anything. Low and behold!

i have been in that situation and i just run out of bounds and run the clock out as well
You're already banned from season 2 because you stopped me from getting a bye. Now I have Wellie in vengeance mode over the regular season beat down I gave him.
No, you're right, it's stat padding rules that held you back. Not injuries, or terrible defense, or one trick pony offense!
You can look at the league schedule.

i think a lot of it was the big help posts we had from LJ and others about how to cut down on the ints and play a better game overall. int's went down, lots of games got closer. i dont want people to just say fuck it im going to put up 80! but its just difficult for me to suspend someone for something like stat padding when it's not always a black and white case. i want a clean respectful game but i also dont want someone scared to actually play because they think im going to say "wtf you put up 450 yards with ponder!? suspended!!!"
I could do that. But I wont. Dammit I'm so bored!
Uhhhh.....
