[Smokey]

Finished the Sunset Overdrive campaign, so good. Neogaf shout out near the end too, game is meta. Time to get some more multi in.

How long did it take ?

Smokey you better have that adaptor for your fancy mic by Halo time. That's one game where you absolutely need communication.

I will. In terms of console FPS, Halo is far and away my preference when compared to COD. The release schedule of COD and H4 being shit contributes to me being more active with that franchise.

Still need to try COD SP. Apparently it's actually good by COD standards and the cinematics are great.

 

[Squall ASF]

LJ and I will play our game tomorrow night.

Let me know about when you get to the press F for feels moment.

It's kind of funny that this season will mostly be spent talking about made up rookies. I hope my #1 overall pick QB will be a STUD! I think his name is McLellan

There's plenty of fake rookies that have had such an impact on the league in past years that their names live on. There was FMT's ill-gotten quarterback, #1 overall pick Jack English. That running back on the Ravens that had an OVR in the 60s but who was an absurd super back as long as he didn't fumble the ball or get injured (Gurley?). Leron James, the list goes on.

That's kind of cool haha My CB from the second round that seems pretty good has Glass as his last name, hope he isn't made of it! I should be able to get this weeks' 30 hrs training time right before my game, right? So I can boost my QB another OVR point or so before playing LJ. I've read online that OVR doesn't actually matter much as most think and that just having the right perks high for the position is what truly matters.

When is the vance, btw?

 

[McNei1y]

Jack English was absurd.

I drafted a 5th round cornerback named Bryce Guy. I'm hoping he lives on.

Jack English was actually the #13 pick because EA fuck ed up and drafted max younger #1. A fucking center drafted #1 lulz

Aarin Carroll (aka Megatron 2.0) and Jordin Grey are legends

That was the year I was able to get the 1,2 and 5 picks in the draft lol

 

[BigAT]

That entire draft class of quarterbacks was absurd, with English just being the most absurd of the bunch. I liked that Livewire used to complain about his quarterback when he had that amazing rookie QB (Patrick something?) that he completely wasted.

Jack English was actually the #13 pick because EA fuck ed up and drafted max younger #1. A fucking center drafted #1 lulz

Wasn't that only the case because he it was declared he was "taken" at #1, or would have been if not for the bug? I don't think he dropped to #13 naturally.

 

[TheCrow]

Jake Scott was the best from that draft and he's got the super bowl rings to prove it.

 

[Wellington]

Honestly that's the whole fun of the franchise.

I loved when I was the Rams and the team was such shit I had no choice but to build through the draft and the UDFAs were God tier. Maurice Leopard was such a fucking stud. Thanks to the RG3 trade I came out of that draft with a rebuilt OL, Leopard, Xavier Waters and then the following year I got a STUD MLB Jamual Garcia and a good FS. He wasn't the Honey Hawk but those two guys came in 2nd and 3rd in DROTY votes. Those were the days.

When I figured out that STR was actually valuable in RBs that year, it was over.

Dane Morrow.

 

[BigAT]

What was the name of that absurd MLB Luke had? Something Strong?

 

[TheCrow]

What was the name of that absurd MLB Luke had? Something Strong?

Mack Jackson. What a name.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Mack Jackson was a beast. Leron James, Giovanni Girley, all the crazy receivers.... what a first few rounds it was!

 

[Squall ASF]

So what's the highest OVR a rookie can start out with when you draft him? People should post their highest grade. My QB started 82 or 83 I believe.

Bucannon was a DROY and he was only OVR 70. After spending some points on him after the draft, he's shot up to 77 so hopefully he's even more of a beast this year!

 

[TheCrow]

Depending on the scheme my 2nd round hb is a 80 or 84.

 

[eznark]

Awesome, GTAV is coming to PS2!

 

[BigAT]

Mack Jackson. What a name.

I kept thinking of Mack Strong, I knew it was one part of his name or the other.

Leopard was a beast. I think bluemax had a ridiculous UDFA WR too, forget the name.

 

[ph33nix]

How could you guys forget the legendary Kelly James

 

[McNei1y]

Interesting... Blizzard might be announcing their next WoW expansion at Blizzcon this Friday.

Hmm I didn't think about that, my system is Vertical I believe and I want to say he's Balanced. I wonder if he'd still do fine as long as I have his attributes up or if I should change the whole system just for him.

 

[eznark]

Any chance they'll talk about the third SC2 game or is that dead?

 

[DMczaf]

CB3's soul was crushed last night.

Went in to the 4th up 14-0, and then he lost 17-14.

 

[McNei1y]

Any chance they'll talk about the third SC2 game or is that dead?

It seems like they're focusing on WoW and Hearthstone. I'd love if they'd announce some SC2 info though. Then again I didn't play HotS as much as regular SC2... I wasn't really confident in playing SC2 online without a team.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Any chance they'll talk about the third SC2 game or is that dead?

I remember when they first announced they were splitting SC2 into three parts and then were like "don't worry, they'll be released 18 months apart so it's not a big deal"

The first game was released 4 and a half years ago.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

There's also a scheme per position.

 

[McNei1y]

What the hell... FPS mode in GTA V next gen? Weird.

I think I'm grabbing GTA V for PS4 (my 360 broke this past January and I never got to finish GTA V).

I'm going to Atlantic City this weekend... I really hope I can get some house money so I can purchase some upcoming games like:

Halo MCC
WoW: WoD
GTA V
FIFA

 

[Squall ASF]

There's also a scheme per position.

Oh, so I can just make him switch to vertical if I want? If it lowers his numbers, can I change right back and they go back to what they were? I figure it makes the most sense to change now while he has virtually no confidence for not knowing the playbook yet anyway.

All it does is help you find what youre looking for in FA / have the overalls better represent what you use them for.

....I think

 

[brentech]

Haven't tried changing team offensive scheme for him, but mine is an 83.
Tate is definitely still the better runner at 80 right now though. His strength and carry stats are too important and he just gains more yards after contact consistently (both have fight for yards trait). Gonna have to build the rookie up as the 2nd string option for now.
Rookie also fumbled the ball on a routine run up the gut, but luckily my guys fell on it.

What? that's dumb, it only makes sense that a QB would play better in a system he's more comfortable in... I'm guessing people will laugh at me applying rationale to Madden though.

Yeah, my rookies 70 carry rating means I'm sticking with demarco murray for a while. I might just start my rookie qb next week though, it'll at least make the games interesting.

 

[DMczaf]

FYI

McCoy finished Week 1 with 5 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, and 2 sacks.

That's why I paid him 6 years, $66M with $30M bonus!

 

[Smokey]

The movement in AW is finally clicking. plus I found a nice loadout. 3.5 KDR today suck it Ferny

 

[brentech]

Wish I didn't wait until like, the late 3rd quarter to start subbing Tate in. The rookie is at a pathetic 1.62 avg over 21 carries. Tate had 4 carries with 4.5 avg.
Tate with 21 more carry rating, and 13 more strength. Elusiveness a good 10+ lower, and all other big RB stats are about equivalent.

I want my him in the top 5 yards again.

I guess that confirms that OVR doesn't matter nearly as much as many think and to just worry about getting the right stats up.

Share that loadout bro. Don't be greedy.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Kenny Timm

Leopard was a beast. I think bluemax had a ridiculous UDFA WR too, forget the name.

Kenny Timm was a projected UDFA/7th rounder who got drafted in the 5th. I believe the Seahawks also grabbed a guy after the draft who was pretty good, but not as good as the guy the Rams got after the draft.

Also there was the year Livewire tried to tank for #1 and BlueMax and Storybook ended up finishing #1 and #2 and Storybook got the QB with insane speed and BlueMax got the guy with the rocket arm (Ace Garrison or was Ace Garrison a different year?).

I just watched the Conan O'Brien clueless gamer for the new CoD game. It was funny seeing that they threw in a Frogger level!

 

[TheCrow]

Guess I lucked out with my 2nd round hb. Surprised he dropped that far. Hopefully his 66 strength is good enough.

 

[ph33nix]

Ace garrison was in that franchise too

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The Ace Garrison draft also had the immortal Tank Lockwood.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/958701-madden-nfl-10/faqs/57545

That was Madden 10, so I think that was the year before we went to League Manager. It must've been Madden 11 when everyone was tanking for those two QBs and Story and Bluemax won out.

 

[McNei1y]

I believe that was the draft where I got a FS who had a name very close to Penis. I think it was like Andre Peetnis

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Pe'Shon Parker

Stacey Knight was the guy that Livewire got in Madden 13:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/656454-madden-nfl-13/faqs/66305

Ah it was the Zach Richmond/Jordin Parks draft that I was thinking of. And Bob also dumped Cutler for Wil Myers. And then that one dude went back to school and screwed everyone.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Only CB can have a penis related player! What was his name again? Joseph Penile or something?

 

[brentech]

Thinking the best part of DriveClub is the solo time trials. The cpu AI is pretty bad imo. They're super aggressive in that, even if you have a really safe pass on them, they'll ram you.
wtf is that shit

also, I like the club pattern you chose. not too crazy, but got those packer colors in
