I was pretty upset about not having my first round pick during the season but looking at a lot of these players stats, I'm actually glad to have 2 5's and 2 6's. It's like I'll get a better chance to get some gems later on in the draft.

Plus, like always, a 99 speed guy is still going to be fast regardless if he has slow progression or not. Your TE Niles is a shinning example of that.

I got no one that I wanted in free agency. To top that off, the two guys that I really wanted to nab (Cason and Chung) signed with the Raiders and Broncos. Not even sure I'll be able to make the draft either. :\

Made a last second bid as I decided that Rahim Moore wasn't ready to start.

No, I'm gonna go to best buy later and see if they have that assassin's creed bundle. If not, I'm just going to get it through amazon

Well if you start to get cold feet and need someone to berate you, just hit me up on aim and I will happily give you that extra push. Sorry I wasn't there to enable you earlier this week. Feel really bad about that.

He has some of the best stats for being a 69. That stupid Awareness stat! I really wonder if Awareness is like the NHL awareness... By that I mean if it affects every attribute at once.

So does anyone think with the recent purchase of LucasFilms that we'll now have more games and such? The only game I really care about is Star Wars: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and I desperately want a sequel made to that game ASAP.

Yeah, you can play it right now. Along with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Thanks to The Old Republic, Free To Play this month!

Forgot that was going free to play. You should check it out, it's actually pretty rad. The bounty hunter story is great.

Did I need to pre-order a special edition of PBRMEASAP to get both the PS3/Vita games? Also, does it come as a downloadable code or is it a cartridge? Bob, you're probably the only person who can answer this.

I had TOR when it came out, the only story I finished was the Trooper though. I'll probably go back when its FTP just to see the other stories

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

no need to preorder, and I think it has to be digital for both.

The retail ps3 version has a download voucher for the psvita version. So your ps3 version is physical and your vita version digital

I wish I could see what Daniel Graham's Attributes looked like if I made him a RT =(

Switched my current LT over to RT and his RBK/PBK went down a bit.

You can't seriously draft a right tackle first overall. That's utter madness. You can plug and play just about anyone at RT.

I looked at that cheater sheet and it looked like the best available WR would make an awesome RT. You should draft him.

I wish Madden an OTA section where you could change positions around and and give them a chance to get better ratings wise like NCAA does with the Position Changes/Training Results section. It makes sense a player would take a ratings hit for playing out of their natural position but at least give people a chance to balance it out if it's planned ahead of time.

You can use his xp to balance it out though, haven't played this years NCAA but couldn't do that in 12.

I'd like it if they had this for rookies. They change rookies all the time. Houston was a DT and now he's a DE. It happens with OL and DL all the time.

Why would you even risk it for 35 dollars?

I feel like that'll come down the line for sure.

Well the XP only offers so much. You can't give a current WR some QB attributes. Same with Oline attributes. And you can't switch a player from offense to defense or vice versa.

I don't have em. It just sounds sketchy since I've never thought about getting paid for playing a game that I am going to beat anyway. lol

Just throwing it out there! Use your card to buy the game and with the credits you've paid $25 for Halo 4. Or even get it for free if you trade in a old game or something.

some OL in past madden drafts have been incredible. I recall a RG named Derail Gatewood, instant three or four yard runs behind him. It would be foolish to disregard lineman in the first round.

cola forgot to add in a disclaimer that he has a giant boner for Graham and is trying to smokescreen.

I put about an hour into AC3 last night, wasn't too impressed, I'll give it more time this weekend. I've never played the rest of them, like 2 hours of the original, I just got 3 because of the setting, heh.

You should start with part two. It has to be cheap now, and from everything I read Ass Creed 2 and Brotherhood are the peak of the series. Revelations and 3 aren't bad, but the quality isn't as high. Plus part two fills in the story of the first game. The story of Ezio is pretty cool in AC2, and I want to see how he evolves into Old Snake by Revelations! Now I have an excuse to post another pic. This time Ezio flying from a high spot!

It's going to be interesting seeing how far projected #1 overall pick Zach Richmond falls. Unless the Dolphins take him, he may plunge.

All that talk about Wendy's a couple pages ago is making me want some. Might just stop by today after the gym and pick up 3 or 4 spicy chicken sandwiches. Eat big to get big!
