Should be home between 5:30-6 best coast time.
Cool beans. I'll check on gaf around that time.
If I had to guess I would say it works. My 360 fight stick works with PC so that certainly should.
What time do you think you'll be able to play?
I actually played great for a good portion of the game. Then shenanigans.
Also, everyone drops passes. Everyone.
I played terrible. But the same happened to me. None of his receivers did though. Also, none of my secondary would catch the damn ball on like five opportunities. But to make it all worse, two of my players on defense got injured back-to-back. Kerrigan and my third string CB (nickle guy) didn't return to the game. I don't know how long they're out. But the game just had to spit in my face.
with the first play being a fumble, I knew shit was going to go sour.
/rant i suck
I don't know, still not done. Thinking I could play tonight was probably a bit ambitious. I'll be on the road next two nights, not sure how likely internet will be. I'll just go on auto pilot for you.
yep
On the one hand it sucks to fumble on your first possession like that, but on the other I only got 3 points out of it. I felt like your first and second down play calling was really vanilla, so I knew if I could shut down MJD I could win. I scouted your stats before the game and saw you only complete 50% of your passes, and none of your receivers really stood out.
Your run defense beasted pretty good though! Lynch had a lousy 2.9 YPC. I wanted to run more, but I had problems deciding where to go with the option against the 3-4. I need to work on that.
I wish I could've got Timm or Stephens a TD. Both had almost 100 yards receiving but neither one reached pay dirt.
At least Timm didn't pull off that 1 handed jump ball catch!

GG CB.
Kind of funny that Aso breaks early on a crucial third down play and steals the ball from Leopards grasp. Like literally broke before any other AI would have ever broken and before he had moved previously in the game. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

You do know Aso is the best DB in the game, right? Like 95+ in every catagory that matters? I'm offended you'd even go there
Its why I pay him the big bucks!
Seriously though, I wonder why anyone throws to his side in this game. Especially breaking routes. If there is one position to attack on my defense, that isn't it.
Also CK might be mad because for the first time in madden history, a OL went down with injury. Ive Made history!
My players didn't even bother going for catches like some of yours though. For example: That one ball I bombed deep for the fuck of it to Morgan, who's spectacular catch is awesome. He doesn't turn around and jump for the ball like your guys did. He just turned around and kept running. As for running, it doesn't matter if it's vanilla. I had some lanes and calls that just wouldn't work. Somehow I had Lynch taken down on several opportunities yet he breaks an amazing tackle and then runs into a contested lane yet makes it.
My passing should be much better than it says. My receivers have great catching stats but it doesn't seem to play into the game. I feel like the EA Division that works on Madden doesn't put much effort into the attributes. EA's NHL division has the attributes down... but here it doesn't seem to matter. Look at CB's McCoy for example. Some of the highest carrying in the game yet he fumbles pretty often.
I get over losses like these quick but it hurts to know that I have two starters injured... and it had to happen in a game that was completely awful.
I think RG3 got hit on that play, DBs seem to react better on deep passes where the QB gets hit than WRs do. Especially if the user ballhawks the DB like I did. I've seen it happen a lot when I bomb it out to Timm, people will swap to the Safety and make the pick while Timm stands flat footed, or fails to out jump a midget corner when he's 6'5" and has 99 jumping.

any PSASBRo's around? rors? ez? bob? wellington? somnia? splat? CB (i'll stream it for you if you want)?
3rd Strike!
But I've never seen it happen. Then again, I rarely throw deep like that where a jump ball is required. I wish I could practice with my playbook/team. I've only been using it for four games but that's still not enough time.
I also wish my players would stop dropping passes on contact. I failed to get anything going after players were dropping third down passes past the first down marker.
So I've got (in no order)

I'll jump on for a bit!
Finally got into a little FC3 groove. Game is awesome I just don't think it works with my schedule right now. Time for a divorce.

Nah I was just joking, but I had been killing him all game with Leopard on those routes.
I fucking lost my first round LT for the season, he was getting to be pretty solid too. I also lost Finnegan right from the start so an already weak secondary just got even worse. I was pissed, had to make some serious adjustments and it ended up costing me. I just don't have the depth yet to make up for it.
Anyway:
First drive CB gets to the goal line, tries to pass it in, my #3 CB picks it and returns it for a TD. After that my entire defense is dead, the return took a while and the drive itself was long. I had LBs at safety and it ended up costing me a long TD to CB on a pass. Should have called TO.
Spent the next couple of drives defensively stalemating. I think the next score I was able to get Aso 1 on 1 with Leopard on a curl, after the catch CB switched to Aso and missed the tackle, TD with Leopard's speed.
For the life of me I couldn't stop LeSean McCoy and it was just slow painful death every drive with the consistent running. Easy TD for McCoy on the next drive. Finnegan went down on this one.
Was able to get a short completion to Xavier Waters that he took to the house after breaking a few tackles. That dude is fast as hell.
I didn't score after that, CB started cheating. There was a long third down play in which I had my slot receiver running an out route underneath and Leopard running a fly, CB press Leopard with Aso and hung him up just enough such that when I went to hit my slot guy Aso was right underneath the throw. CB was able to switch to Aso and pick it. Shit sucked.
After that it was all down hill. CB fumbled 3 times and I was only able to get one of them. Shameful!
Thus ends my 4 game winning streak, 8-5 is shitty. I can only afford one more loss if I want to make the playoffs.
I'd like people to please adhere to the NFL jersey policy. Some of us actually pay attention to the jerseys of players and use them to align players on defense.
I know most of you just hold Y and call 2 man.
I wish we weren't so desperate for players, a bunch of you are annoying as fuck and I want to replace you.

Damnit mcneily we already went over this before!
He doesn't mean it guys!
shit my pants when it bounced of my guy's shin.
Yeah....I don't get it either.
I play a lot of man coverage in different forms. Mainly because I get absolutely shredded with zones....
Then again, I get shredded with man too...meh. Go Chiefs!
Not at all, it was more a comment on that people just don't pay attention, pick 2 man and hold Y and don't care about jersey numbers and knowing whether that's a tackle or a TE in disguise
Bob if you win this game because of that I'm going to be quite upset 
Bob has to be pretty happy with the Y button working even if you don't have the player selected bug right now
Well, I don't actually know if that's what happened but that was the stupidest interception I've ever seen happen in the game

Hey, when do you want to get our game in? I need to stop that rookie TE of yours so Trey Glass or Flancher can win rookie of the year.

I decided to audible Peppers out into the flat and you threw it right too him. All you had to do was run the ball and make me use my timeouts!
I tried taking a sack at the end to fumble and lose the game but Meyers held onto the ball!
More importantly, I got 3000 bonus XP for this game! Time to upgrade Meyers again.
I got some good deep ball practice in that game.
