GG Ram,

Hagood made the worst pass ever on the 3rd down before I had to punt to your last possession. Robinson had some open space in the slot and instead passed it right to your defender who thankfully dropped it.

I had my chances but couldnt get it in the end zone.

Played you and Smokey pretty tight my last 2 games so hopefully can carry this into next season.

Nice comeback from 17 down

Also, that fumble overturn gutted me! Lol

GG! Birdles just decimated me. Couldn't do a fucking thing. Well played sir. That's probably my most embarrassing loss this season. :(

Gg man. Best defensive game of my season...my guys were all over the field making plays.

Your coverage was really good all game. You were giving me the run, but my backup RBs suck!

Stafford was like 20 TDs and 12 picks a few weeks ago. Now he's 21/19. Time to tankkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Lol, that wasn't a tank. Meyers had a rough first game!

I just sat back and laughed that game. I don't know what I'm supposed to do when Rodgers scrambles back 20 yards makes a pass into triple coverage. My players jump away from the ball, the WR grabs it, and goes 80 yards for a TD. Instead of TAINT I give up 7. That happened 3 times that game. Two TD passes and one huge gain when throw into coverage, I hit Y, and my player stops.

Plus Woodhead has trucking of 100. Kept bouncing off of tackles.

Rors is right. Soka really is the biggest asshole of us all.

No I mean it, everyone said how terrible eznark (and the whole division I'm in!) was when I first joined but he's doing great this year. Plus Bob acted like he's not even trying anymore because he hates Cutler. Forget that guy!

Good game Crow, I don't think either of us played a good game to be honest, you definitely moved the ball better than I did, but I caught a few breaks early and it got you out of what you wanted to do.

Your run D was very solid, Fred is slow, but you got off blocks quick. The pass D was something else though. It almost became sort of a test, what routes can I get away with? Even routes that get big separation weren't getting much, but I had enough, more like 3 or 4, that did what I wanted.


On a slightly unrelated matter....

I keep complaining about fumbles, or rather hit stick whiffs that get the entire D to hit stick. This user triggered AI behavior stretches out across offense and defense, but I really didn't realize it until someone pointed something out to me a week or so ago. At the time I hadn't really noticed it, but then I saw it during my game with Pheenix. He ran a lot of double slants to get my user LB play off, and I finally saw it in action...

Really don't know what to say or do, I really don't want to say anything, it makes me not want to play the game at all anymore. I wonder how many people know and actually use it, I can tell right away at this point, and we all do it in some respect, unbeknownst to the user, well some users anyway

Not trying to cause drama or anything, pretty stupid thing to say after what I've written, but I'm just on a bit of rant before I go to bed.

After my CBs dropped ints thrown right at them on each of your first 3 drives I knew some HFA action was going on. I just started running a lot of gameflow and let loose. Is there some play that allows your CBs to press but never get beat? I usually love it when CBs line up in the face of Decker or Thomas since they have a good chance of burning them but they couldn't do a thing against you.

I just played a lot of Nickel Two Man, conservative because I had the lead. It almost cost me because I just wasn't doing anything but that was partly because of your defense. I got lucky I guess, you torched me a few times in the playoffs.

Mind going into more detail on this tomorrow? Because I read your post twice and still don't really have a clue what you're trying to describe, but I'm interested.
 
Ah sorry I didn't see this, I posted and when I didn't see a response I just did my practice for the week. Hope you were able to finish the movie before playing. Sorry for the delayed start

gg. felt like it was going to be close early. you got a couple first downs on that first drive and ray rice is a beast but then i got a stop and got a couple scores early so it allowed me to just play pass D. pharoah is fast!

It's really hard for me to tell the difference between my guys and those light blue Oilers jerseys, next time you're home lemme know if you wanna wear those and I'll wear something darker!
 
GG Luke. I started laughing out loud when the first play of the game is a fumble by my WR. ADP was having some trouble getting away from Zuzek. The one play he broke along the outside sucked. I user finesse moved to the outside but my guy goes to the inside cause of the weird angle the Tackle pivots him to leaving you nothing but grass on that side of the field. That game felt pretty good at the end though. I auto subbed Gallette in on third down in the red zone for a fresh pass rusher and he sacks Luck. Was getting great pressure all game, Wimbley with 3 sacks. Lisi almost had two TAINTS (ADP ran him down on the second) and my new SS is much easier to control/ recover with than Babineaux (though he's much worse on his own). And CJ had no fumbles!!!

I should be sleeping but I can't for some reason, had trouble the last two nights. Whatever, no one cares about that. It's something you particularly hated with the game from the outset, you were right all along!

LJ outed himself?

A Shyamalan twist!

Hahaha

Nah, my linebackers actually have hit power now and the safety I drafted in the 2nd had 90+ hit power, I've boost Mario's too. I rarely hit stick. CPU defense!

Yeah, you gotta spill it now. What's this game breaking feature that will make all of us want to quit Madden.

Also, we need to start a new week so I can practice more in live action a timing route against man press coverage. I almost have it down, the only way to stop the catch is to play manual safety. Then I have other routes to go too. MLB or safety pick your poison I get this pass timed ill have someone open every time in man press.

MaddenGAF Game of the Week: Crow vs. LJ
Big Questions:

  • [*]Will Crow keep abusing the read option and just playing Cover 2 dime and Cover 2 Nickel Strong flipped to the TE side?
  • Or will LJ solve the crime and send this cheesy fuck back to Madden School.

Next Advance is Thursday at 10:30 Surfer time.

Lol fade. You know I wasn't even in press there when you were trying to do that. Your other receivers suck so doubling Marshall with a safety is no huge issue.


See LJ, that's how you have a meaningful discussion. Fucker acting like Deepthroat.

ooo quite a few teams I play this year that I haven't played in a long time: Phee, LJ, FMT, and Blue. Then I get to play Thrash the Trash for the first time too. I also play Cola but I played the Cards a few times last year when Splat had them (that meltdown 4th quarter game).

On the one hand I want to beat you. On the other hand if I lose to you then I get a better draft pick and Wellie gets a worse one.

Blue: It doesn't matter much. My need is your adderall fueled strength.

If I want to cut someone with a decently sized multi-year contract, is it better to cut them right now or keep them through the end of this year before cutting them? I'm not worried about any cut hit this year, just what the total would be going forward.
Here's how it works in the NFL from wiki:

In transitions, if a player retires, is traded, or is cut before June 1, all remaining bonus is applied to the salary cap for the current season. If the payroll change occurs after June 1, the current season's bonus proration is unchanged, and the next year's cap must absorb the entire remaining bonus.

A few years ago I found a huge glitch. There was a 3 DL instant pressure/sack out of quarters. If you chose a play with the DEs in contain, squeezed the line down, and then audibled them to pass rush to the outside, the DE or DT, can't remember, got in clean. We banned it, but some were paranoid whenever anyone shifted a 3 man line in tight.

Still remember someone pausing the game and telling me not to do it out of 335, I was just trying to stop the draw run, glitch wasn't it in that formation anyway, and this person was also considered a cheap/cheesy player.

This would increase paranoia 100 fold. I think the only person who I will say something to is FMT.
