You don't understand. Well, maybe Rors does.. not sure.
With certain QBs. It's not a throw that gets away from them. Sometimes if you try to throw something you shouldn't, they throw it in a spot where it's not so bad and maybe you guys just think it was a bad throw. I don't.
Whenever I do user games with my cousin I call this out, we do randoms so we use plenty of different QBs. Guys like Brady throw incompletions where others would throw picks, I think it's because of AWR.

There is a mechanic where some QBs just randomly throw it straight to the defender on the other side of the field instead of your guy. I know Freeman and Palmer do it! But Palmer doesn't do it as much as JRuss or Pat White.
Also, if a bad QB tries to lead a receiver, they will just throw it to the defender closest to the WR.

Sanjuro threw 70+ ints with Tom Brady, you argument is invalid.
Rors, did you end up trying the demo for Ni No Kuni? Its a different couple of areas from what they showed in the E3 demo. Game looks really good visually and I actually found the combat system challenging. I died twice to the boss in the volcano level.

plus the helper monster you have is a beefed up one, not one that you'd normally have. they just put it in there for the demo.
i probably would have pre-ordered the game on the art style/graphics alone, but the gameplay is actually pretty good to me

Using a Sanjuro stat is invalid.

why was i the highest rated QB in the league in season 1 with 30 tds/10 ints with alex and this season i suck dick with him?

Variables. Or you weren't making mistakes before? As I said it affects bad user QBs more because we make more bad throws.
Maybe I'm crazy, I thought others would have noticed this mechanic by now...
Much like the real Alex, your/his OP defense carried you/him and you/him were never that good to begin with.

I haven't yet because I hadn't used my PS3 all week, but I'm gonna get around to it this weekend.
I don't know why, but it's impossible to throw over the shoulder anything this year.
Yeah, that's ACC, BUT the random throw to the defender... I don't know what that is. Freeman has decent ratings.
[edit]Last year that happened when a safety with super high ratings was on the field. He would be a magnet for the ball vs meh QBs. This year, it just happens randomly.

Because the Rams beat the 9ers.
Both of those throws were straight up bad reads into man coverage, one was a terrible pass lead by me!
On offense? I honestly didn't do much outside of two plays, rest were stock. Put my WR, Bashum, on a fade, he's lined up tight, then I lead him depending on the coverage. That formation/alignment can be found in most books, probably in the KC book under singleback doubles.
Ran a few comebacks that release well against man, but I only caught one. My receivers kept dropping throws. The one crazy catch by Steve was just luck, Fitz put it in a good spot. With a good QB you can probably do that more often than I can.
You were run blitzing like crazy it seemed, or just blitzing so you were in off man a lot and I just put the ball where it should go. I honestly didn't use more than a couple of bump and run beaters.

looks like the dm game of the week is.... dm. sounds like they're playing early tomorrow morning but either way when 7:30 am rolls around tomorrow this will be vanced
bluemax i'll be in san fran for the weekend so i can play at any time on monday (i have the day off!)
Oh, that play, I 'm not trying to rub your defender off, wish I could to be honest, I would definitely call it but that's not my intention.
The problem is that the receiver inside of Steve Johnson runs his route at a bit of an angle, drifts outside a bit and then cuts it back inside. He's a shit route runner, so even though he's a 96 SPD receiver it sometimes takes him longer to run his route because Steve gets on him quicker. When the play is really working they don't touch each other, if they do get hung up on one another, it usually results in a sack.
That's why the one pass to Steve was nuts, I threw that much early than I should have because they didn't get open like they should and my internal clock was telling me to get rid of it.
Play is in pretty much every playbook in the game, and I just make one adjustment to it. So if you figure it out you have a great play for the future.
Cool danke
Holy shit at this GameStop trade in values. Sorry hockey, halo and sly.

Luck has low AWR therefore I know they were bad throws. If Brady went 18/20 with 2 picks then my theory would suck. Understand?
DM and I are plaiying at 9 pst unless I fall asleep first. If that happens, then I should be awake around 6 in the morning.
How about Brees? I know I've had a few games like that with him. Of course, I've also had a few 5+ INT games too. Also, one of the devs was on the Box Score podcast right around release time, and he basically said AWR was useless for user controlled players, but I don't care enough to actually dig it up.

What are the prices? Are these for members only?
Soka, it's hard, so it must be good. Duh.
Can you put ferny on auto in case he can't play in the morning? He had something come up tonight and he didn't say whether he could play early tomorrow.
I'm home, I can play now.

i liked demons souls better but liked dark souls. i can't really pinpoint what the difference was for me (aside from open world gameplay), but i just couldn't get into dark souls like i did demons.... and i put about 25-30 hours into dark souls!

GG Rinse. I'm officially switching to Philbin's offense. Sorry for not being very sim with that 2 point conversion on the first td and the garbage time TD, I meant no disrespect.
Dark Souls is good, I'll get the next one if they make multiplayer more interesting. Otherwise I might as well get Demon Souls.

he is on AP now. have the game done before 7:30 am pst either way!
Demons was good, but I never got past the 30 hour mark, but it wasn't the game's fault, got tied down with other things. Put in close to 70 hours on Dark, loved it, the world was so well designed for the most part, everything connected.
Just saw this...I'll sign on now

i can't remember where i am in dark souls. i think i got stuck against the fire boss. pisses me off because i'm at a high level but this shitbag killed me BECAUSE some other shitbags constantly invaded me before the fight and got my health down to half.... and i dont feel like back tracking to get the items to restore my health to its full bar
demons was great though. fucking mind flayers in tower of latria still give me the creeps. some girl that sits by me at work has a text tone that sounds just like those mother fuckers bells they ring
When I saw the trailer I thought it was gonna be for something fun like Skyrim or Dragon's Age.
Then it said Dark Souls 2 and I lost interest.

I rarely went into human form, learned the hard way making my way through the sewers, hollow or get trolled constantly. Being invaded was fun the first few times, but I purchased the game a few months after release, it wasn't a pretty site. I did manage to kill one guy but it was total luck, must have been terrible.
Edit: What shitty troll blue, no one has interest in those games.

Best thing in Dark Souls is the pvp at the castle. Your missing out LJ! I kinda want to play now.
