Official Madden 13 Xbox 360 Online Franchise Thread:Stat padding? Never heard of him.

I'm looking at the stats from last night's game against Rors and his stat lines are crazy.

Carson Palmer: 511 yards, 6 TD
3 guys with 100+ yards receiving, plus another guy with 99 yards receiving

My poor D got shredded. It had been playing pretty well until that game. :(

You obviously weren't holding Y enough.




Smokey, when do you want to try to play today? Hopefully, we have better luck than last night.

Holy shit. That sounds like what Splat is going to do to me when we play.

In the game with Sok, Ponder threw for 475 yards, Owusu was at 200 yards and I think Harvin at 167. My D was just absurdly bad.

I know. I also should have stayed away from plays and mashed the hit stick.

Yeah Sok killed my D too. My CB's have a hard time against fast receivers.

Can I make a crazy push to the playoffs? While having just beat the Bucs, here are my last 5 opponents:

Falcons
Vikings (toughest opponent remaining)
Eagles
Raiders
Chargers

Brutal!

Sorry man, it was brutal. At least you can draft your TE now.

Wow, no defense required in the AFC West? Good, I can get some XP!

Well, whatever happens, it will be on the arm of Will Meyers to get it done. Gimme dat xp.

We need to do some research on QB trajectory. I'm extremely curious to how Madden figures this out. Comparing Cutler to Meyers:

Cutler throws more of a laser pass in the short to medium range with little loft. Meyers isn't slow, but his pass in these ranges have a little more loft to them. I'm guessing this is attributed to throw power? Cutler is 98 while Meyers is 94.

However, it seems to me Meyers has a much better deep ball. Which is really confounding me. Cutler has better DAC right now (87 versus 84), and more THP (98 vs 94), but Cutler deep passes are balloons. Meyers drops that deep ball on a perfect angle. Just enough loft to get it over the CBs, but not too high that the safety will catch up and make the int. For this reason alone I'm wondering what determines QB throwing trajectory in Madden. I have no answer.

We've played quite a bit more this year. We still play more zone so I'd probably say we play man 30% of the time. I worry about welker in the slot because Carlos Rogers fucking sucks dick.
I thought you guys were playing it like half the time... shit. I better start Brady, then. Y'all gonna get Pittsburgh'd!


Downloaded the PABST:BR patch, so my body is ready when you guys want to play.

if our front 4 can't get to brady then it doesn't matter what we play. zone/man isn't going to be as important as pressure. kap will put up 42 points, its up to our defense to do the rest

I know, but zone = welker sits in zone for and quick throws. Brady tears Pitt a new one every time he sees them for this reason.

And I don't care about Kap!

How do I get to the standings view that Blue uses to determine the Aarin Carrol sweepstakes?

Is the tiebreaker Strength of Schedule?
 
I didn't beat it but my playtime is over 30 hours. I finally got beyond that sewer level and beat a few more bosses. Ill pick it up again and get through blighttown!

Don't pick it up again just for blighttown :jnc. Probably my least favorite level. I need to beat it too still, I forget where I am but I'm a lot farther than that. What are they doing in 2 that's so gamechanging?

You didn't get through Blighttown in 30 hours? What the heck were you doing instead?

What are they doing?

I haven't read specifics yet, but I think they have said they are going to make it more accessible. People are scared they are going to change what makes the Souls series so unique and turn it too mainstream.

I dunno, but somehow the game decided to put Harvin in as my 3rd down running back at the beginning of the season. Put my best player in the one position I refuse to use, thanks a lot game!

I think that's a bit true to life because he actually runs the ball in games.

GG. I honestly didn't even notice it was him until he broke away. So I slowed down because it felt cheesy.

GG Luke. I'm in nothing to lose mode so I thought I'd go for it on those 4th and shorts in your territory, didnt work out.

You were clutch on 3rd down.

Yep, GG Rinse.

I misclicked at the game setup screen so I had a different defensive book than I usually run, felt awkward.

HFA was on for your Dline that game

Me, CB, and Smokey just superstar combo-ed in 2k with the dream team

JORDAN

That was pretty cool. Playing Center and still get a A+ teammate rating. I'm such a unselfish player. Maybe I should try and create a myplayer. I'm up to 47k VC points now might be able to do some damage with that.

GG Smokey. Your guys made picks, and my guys dropped them. Not much else I could do.

Yeah gg. Was a tough one.
