The problem being? We used to complain that about bum players dominating the same as a 90 rated player and now we complain about this?

DCX

There is a discussion to be had both ways

 

[LiveWire]

From the NFL Offseason thread:

RT @ AdamSchefter : NFLPa Agreed to move trade deadline back and the new IR rule.

-NFL trading deadline pushed back to the Tuesday after the eighth weekend of season.

-Teams now will be allowed to re-activate one player from Reserve/Injured during the 2012 season, subject to certain restrictions.

-Only players with a "major injury" who are placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4, or thereafter during the season, will be eligible to be reactivated at a later time.

Wonder if EA will patch this in?

 

[LukeSmith]

If I recall correctly, in Connected Careers the trade deadline is already week 9

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

And as we said, season 1 will be free and clear trading. No approvals needed. Don't make us regret this and change it for season 2!

 

[Colasante]

Sanjuro, are you around?

 

[levious]

im good tomorrow night and all weekend.

ok same here. let's get started at least tomorrow night. I look forward to it!


Oh, all-pro or all-madden?

 

[eznark]

hey blue, Aaron Rodgers for a 7th?

Can't wait till someone fucks their cap

 

[Splat]

Is season starting free agency planned as a free for all? Or tiered access by team OVR? Ie: All 60 rated teams can sign 1 player, then all 60/70 can sign one, then 60/70/80, etc.

 

[eznark]

I've retained an expert just in case

 

[BigAT]

Doubtful, they usually don't apply post-release rule changes like this.

Has anyone gotten far enough in connected careers to see if IR is even in the game to begin with? It hasn't been in years past and NCAA has never had any sort of redshirt due to injury functionality.

 

[Sokantish]

Is Rors really quitting? I hope not, I'd really hate to drive the Raiders into the ground but if he makes me... I'll do it. So that's on YOUR head now Rors.

If rors doesn't play you will get the raiders and daw gets the chiefs and story will get someone.

Rors, you in or out?!

 

[CB3]

Rors, you in or out?!

I read that in future Biff's voice

 

[Ramirez]

I really don't see the problem with All-Madden personally. I've had games where defense can't stop anything (McNeily) and games where I keep stars (Megatron) in check.

 

[goldlion054]

Pretty cool to see sideline catches finally work this year. I dig it!

 

[McNei1y]

Yea but my pass defense is garbage

 

[Ramirez]

Yea but my pass defense is garbage

I'm saying I have varying degrees of success against everyone I've played. I really think it comes down to personal play styles, and has nothing to do with the difficulty.

 

[CB3]

Its gonna be fucking weird having the redskins semi competitive.

 

[McNei1y]

True ram. You're right.

Its gonna be fucking weird having the redskins semi competitive.

Semi competitive... when we finally have a full game we'll see about that!

 

[goldlion054]

Omg, 2 straight PI calls on me to give DCX 70 yards of field position. Holy hell

 

[Colasante]

Good job, Sanjuro. That pass defense was ridiculous on both sides. A combined 10 interceptions for Tom Brady.

 

[Sanjuro]

I would say it isn't much of a difference between me and Colsante with the Patriots. Both of us threw 5 picks with Brady our first game.

:jnc

 

[DCX]

Lol stop being sooooo aggressive

 

[eznark]

What game were you guys playing? Surely not Madden.

 

[Sanjuro]

What game were you guys playing? Surely not Madden.

Yeah. Colsante almost came away with the upset from a PI on a bomb pass. I think that is the first PI I've seen in maybe three years.

 

[Ramirez]

What game were you guys playing? Surely not Madden.

Probably manual D causing it, I've had it called on me 2 times so far.

 

[storybook77]

What game were you guys playing? Surely not Madden.

In all 3 games against DCX, we never had ONE penalty of any kind.

 

[goldlion054]

Apparently it isn't ok to hit stick Roddy White before he catches the ball

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

There must be a rating for that too because moss is really good at it but VD is fucking trash and won't do the toe tap or stay in.... Just like in real life

 

[eznark]

I can't honestly remember the last time I ever saw a PI called in a Madden game.

No wonder Rors wants to quit!

 

[Colasante]

Blame the replacement refs.

 

[goldlion054]

I mean, it was with Megatron. I imagine that had something to do with it. I'll see if I can get one with Nate or Pettigrew too

and DCX's slot just failed at one. Gotta be a rating

 

[smokeymicpot]

Why couldn't they stick with the normal franchise mode from all the other years? Who thought this was a good idea.

 

[LJ11]

User d in terms of making a play on the ball is just inconsistent. I was playing today usering a linebacker on a buzz assignment. Which played perfect cause the guy threw a hitch route on the outside and I went up and intercepted the ball perfectly. Other times they don't make plays on the ball at all. I don't get it! I'm gonna guess its hiccups in the net code. Sometimes I hit the button to throw the ball to a guy and it does nothing. This feels similar.

I think holding the sprint button may have something to do with it. Seems like whenever I'm sprinting to the spot it's a lot harder to get a defender to jump for the ball or make a good play on it.

This is way better than any previous franchise mode. This is the Community forum, not the "I like to play the CPU and swindle them to build a dream team and edit my favorite players to make them sweet forum"

 

[Somnia]

ok same here. let's get started at least tomorrow night. I look forward to it!


Oh, all-pro or all-madden?

I think it's all-pro, 7 minute/accelerated clock

Yeah, I monkeyed around with it last night and it seemed like there was kind of a long delay between when you stop sprinting and when the defender was able to make a play.

True. I am just waiting for my buddy to get the game to start a league though.

 

[McNei1y]

My team likes to hold... I think I've had like 12 holding calls in 6 games.

 

[rinse82]

Hopefully it's not too long before I get the call-up to the big leagues

For now I'll just hone my sub-par skills =) Good luck all

 

[Ramirez]

So, it occurred to me yesterday that my entire division will be different than last year (barring Trasher losing & winning the Ravens/Browns), is the AFC North the only one with only one returning player?

 

[Smokey]

Why am I seeing another smokey in here

There can only be one

 

[Birdman02]

My team likes to hold... I think I've had like 12 holding calls in 6 games.

I think I've seen exactly 1 penalty in the 4 1/2 games I've played.

Why do randoms almost always leave games as soon as they get 10+ points down? I wonder if they've ever seen what's possible in a Madden 4th qtr. I think me and DCX combined for like 55 points in a 4th qtr last year.

Weren't we engaged in a similar game?

I just remember I played someone where absolutely no defense was played in the final quarter

 

[Birdman02]

I'm still at work for another 4 hours

Dang.

Falcon fans play a gentlemen like game.

Without playing you, but knowing you have RG3, I'm guessing something about shifting directions behind the line of scrimmage waiting for guys to get open has something to do with it.
