Defense used to be my strong point in this game. GG Soka. Can't believe my teams inability to fall on a fumble. Maybe I abandoned the run too soon but it didn't take long for you to get a lead. Made some terrible throws that game to completely covered receivers just to avoid the sack, seems to be the theme of the season. I called way too many wheel routes with CJ, they never worked on you. Ugh, 1-3. Gonna be a slow climb to .500 this season, I can feel it.

0-4 here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had to sleep on this
this was probably the most turnovers we've ever had playing each other...not a nice looking game at all. quin made a nice play on my user int...and then gets a partially torn mcl and is out for 11 weeks. that happened in the 3rd and it was all downhill from there. when the injury information came up on the screen i just stared at it for a while before finally accepting my fate...but the damage had already been done as i was worrying about what i need to do to replace him.
that final play was the last straw...was a good hit stick by you and OD got laid out and game over. almost ejected the disc right there and stomped on it but didn't think that would be fair to you
now i play cheating crow next. probably a L but i can bounce back with a sure fire W over twinhead the following week
The hit sticks are flat out garbage, it's a fumble 70% of the time if you have a guy with 85+ hpw.
We both forced throws, I only regret one though (could have thrown it away). You made a good read intercepting the ball with Quinn and the other int was a bad lead by the QB, nothing I could do about it. Definitely ugly.
Cola posted the QB numbers, sack numbers stick out. My OL is good for the most part, but I've been feeling more heat this year, have been trying to go downfield a bit but not that much. It's my run game though, can't generate movement inside like I did last two seasons, no idea why, putting my in longer down and distances maybe, not sure though.

Hit stick is another thing I'd like to see done away with or at least toned down.
the problem is dudes will be open...but once it leaves your hand the dbs will generally make up the gap..i know this for the most part but it's hard to not try and hit somebody on a route who appears to be open for a nice gain.
oh yeah also forgot...that was a pretty amazing screen call for that long td..i was in quarters and happened to be blitzing. my lb almost got to your qb before you got it off. there was literally one man for you to beat, and once he was blocked it was a wrap..all i could do was nod my head and say "good call"...was a big swing too you were inside your own 10.
i think you tried the same play again later but i was looking for it and sniffed it out pretty good.
Do we play each other? I have a strong sense of a winless year. Since LJ's post about the Y button my interceptions have exploded. I was on a great streak until then too but since I was relying on Rodgers' accuracy to zip the ball into tight spots ball hawk has just destroyed me. It's going to take at least another season before I can retool my offensive line to be even mediocre in the running game and my TE's are worthless as blockers.
It's probably all in my head but man, even knowing that ball hawk shit is there just continues to destroy all enjoyment I have for this game. Watching Maualuga hit the turbo button on a crossing route to pick off a pass to Cobb (which I lead) when he was beat laterally by 4-5 yards was lame. Watching him do it in slow motion because of the shitty connection was hilarious.

Last game against Bluemax I rushed 17 times for 47 yards. That's just fucking embarrassing. I have a couple of wrinkles to hopefully counter what you were doing on D. If you shut me down and start blowing me out, can you just let me get to 155 yards and 2 TDs on the ground so I can get my guards dat XP?
Thanks.
Thanks.
It's ridiculous, I've hated it for a while now.
Dude, that was the first screen I called all season, probably the first one in about a dozen games. Just don't use it enough, and yes, I did go back to it later but you were on it. I just wasn't going to risk a throw with that down and distance/
Totally agree on the DB making up ground, which is why weak armed QBs are trash. I want it there quick. There were two throws that I made yesterdat that were ints with Fitz because the ball would've taken forever to get there.
Looks like it varies from lineman to lineman, but it is usually rushing yards, passing yards, rushing TDs or passing TDs. Unfortunately, the goals are pretty crazy for the most part. The lowest season goal for my rookie LT is 1800 yards rushing.

Check your team goals for the linemen. Some of the main ones (per game) for guards, tackles, and centers:
155 rushing yards
2 rushing TDs
275 passing yards
16 First Downs
Not much of a passer but I had a stretch of games last year where I was ripping off monster rushing games, it did a lot to boost both my OL and FB.
yeah I can't fulfill most of them unless I try going out of my way
I play you that following week so you'll go right back to winning.
At least my auto win defense showed up. Sorry I couldn't make it.

Who is the Jets and when do you want to play?

When can u play?
Ferny is the Jets. I believe he was away this weekend but I could be wrong.
It should be edited. It doesn't seem realistic to see people going for big hits over and over. I think they should tweak the attribute system so that hit power and tackle will determine whether hitting "X" results in a big hit... or something like that. I mean a guy with 60 tackle and 50 HP shouldn't be hit sticking.

User tackling is hit and miss for me. I usually try to be the one to clean up the mess and have the CPU initiate the ball carrier but some dudes are great in pursuit like Bird and make solo tackles I could only dream of.

This seems like such a hard task to do. It's like, you HAVE to get a certain amount of rushing yards to boost them... but your line might suck and even 50 attempts might not get you 150 yards. So it seems like people may be screwed most of the time unless they get a lucky 80 yard run.
With Watkins, I think I've only netted like 40 or 50 yards a game with ~15 attempts.
I'll still be working.

I can play you on off days friend. We can practice and get better together.
I'm game for this. I've only played Soka really... and he's beaten me the last 4 times we've played. I also play a friend of mine but he cheeses just as much as the people in quick matches do.
Bluemax, tell EA Sports during your interview to add scrimmages to CCM... even if you don't get the job (but you will get it).
Agreed, I had two good lineman off the bat, but I took two 79 and 80 rated players and they're now 90+. If you want an OL you have to run the ball.
