Official Madden '15 PS4 League Thread: We Know DOTA

I might be able to Tue night but the Monday night game is pretty late so I plan on crashing up there and taking off work Mon/Tue and driving back at an unknown time on Tue. It'll likely be early enough to play on it though. If it's that big a deal I can bring my PS4 up to my father's but I'd rather not ;P I'm thinking I'll play a bit more tonight..maybe I can beat the computer and feel a little better.

week 3 would advance no later than tuesday @ about 6:30 pst.... that would be assuming that week 2 actually goes the full 72 hours, which it may or may not!

the only times i make exceptions on vancin' time are holidays and if someone is literally in the middle of a game at the time of scheduled advancement

Such Pudge. So hook.
That's a game to end on. Randoming pudge and having an instant bottle is like a hack.

2-0 lifetime Pudge. Quit now.
 
i don't seem to get too many kills/assists with lion. i got a lot more with lich even though it wasn't that many. i mostly try to annoy people with lion and/or turn them into frogs when my bro's are in trouble. still i feel like i should be doing more to get better xp

I'd have to rewatch the game to say much. Your XP probably got stifled decent bit because of Dark Seer. He's one of the best off-laners in terms of constant harassment.

Again, would have to watch it, but always try to get your ult off with him. If it's not going to be easy to hit their carry with it, then just hit anyone. You could kill them or do enough damage to send them out of a fight.

Otherwise, keep on stunning and hexing. Some of the best crowd control.
 
There, beat down the computer on All-Madden to cleanse my soul before bed. Surprised I can win on this difficulty already but I'll take it!

FMT, we'll play Tue evening, I'll just have to make sure to get home at a decent time.

Is he the one that makes the creeps drain your health?

I also need to make a good effort to keep myself stocked with portals. I'm really bad about that then I miss fights :/
 
One question before I get to bed, why did the game not let me use Ellington and forced Dwyer on me all game against Wellington tonight? Elly is not hurt btw. Thanks for answering in advance.

:( I need to improve my tackling. Sometimes my passing is just off. I had the chances. Just didn't take advantage of them. Also, that was a stupid kick before halftime. I hit the button so fast. I meant to punt.
 
GG Tsizzle. I should've just ran myself to a 9-3 lead after that Thomas reception to the 20.


And the Chiefs take the lead of the AFC West at 2-0. The remainder of the division lost this week.

Or you coulda just let one more second run off before your field goal. :p

I know. :( I should have made it 4 seconds! I also could squib kicked. So much second guessing.

Edit: At least I'm keeping it close this season. Just have to clean up some mistakes. You were passing the ball pretty well on me in the first couple of drives. I really suck at tackling. I hit the wrong guy and my safety just falls over!
 
Eh, not any earlier than today, likely. Draft's hopefully done by 8 today but i guess that's too late. You able to play early mornings at all?

Nah, I have to get up and get ready for work everyday except on weekends.

How about after the game tonight?

Morning MUT Update: There is a weekly set where you play the Seahawks/Packers, your choice, and you use the collectible coin from winning on who you think will win the game tonight. If you choose correct you get 2,500 coins.

Yeah, you should really be trying to keep a TP scroll on you at all times. There are situations where it can save your life as well by TPing out while you are being attacked by enemies that don't have any stuns. These situations are much harder to recognize as a new player though.

For Lion, the way I like to play him early on in lane is get a point in spike, then a point in mana drain and stun the enemy hero, then drain his mana. This keeps you with enough mana so that you can keep spamming spike fairly regularly while also draining the enemy hero of mana he'll need for important laning skills. Alternatively, spike the enemy hero and auto-attack a few times, then drain mana from the ranged creep to make sure you get more mana back.

THE STUFF BELOW IS APPLICABLE ADVICE FOR EVERYONE:

If you're in the safe lane, try to start using the jungle to shield your approach for harassment:


There's a good chance the enemy won't have vision of that area so they can't see your approach and run away early. Use this mainly against solo offlaners, you don't want to go strolling out of position into a 1v2 situation as a support. Even if they do have vision of you, it's still a good practice because if you just stroll up through the creep wave and start harassing you'll pull the wave onto you which A) causes the lane to be pushed out farther away from your tower and B) there's a very good chance you'll actually take MORE damage from the creep wave attacking you then you deal out attacking the enemy hero. It also makes it harder for your carry to last hit.

That looked like such a frustrating game. They were truly awful. That NP mid was holding his dick the entire game. No idea what happened there. Just a retard. It's worth it to go back and watch his first death. It was amazing.


FUCK!!!! AT, do you have the Warlock Packers avatar? I can't find it.

Had, maybe we're talking about a different game.

Oh yeah, you weren't in it. It was CB, Smokey, Bob, AT and Phee I think.

How tough were the greens on that back nine last night though? I kept thinking you'd catch me and then you'd slide one by as well. I missed like three putts from within 5 feet probably.

I don't think I made that one, I think it was Shakerino.

Can't believe you guys got rolled by a team with no courier

No courier team rolls no wards team. On top of that CB decided he was tired of his normal routine of feeding just his hero, so he decided to reach for a new tier in feeding excellence by going with a hero where he could also feed his juicy minions as well. Truly a champion of his craft.

Oh my god. That course. I made some good puts, and then whiffed multiple times on others.

Our first game last night, I had razor mid against Alch. Was nice and easy, had an early Aghs, but it was all for naught.
The early decision of a certain hero's lane really cost us. Then his first big item being Sange instead of blink really did us in.


Second game, I'm just glad it was sniper I was facing. He's probably the best Pudge target.

Great game Cola! I totally messed up on that game winning touchdown. I wanted to call a man two deep and I was caught out on a cover three with me covering the middle and I messed up :( two games, two losses on the last drive within two minutes. Ugh

Peterson did nothing and Bridgewater is off to a 0 touchdown and 5 into season. #vikebike

I never would've entered the thread without the Dota in the thread title.

Positively surprised that people are actually talking about Dota in here instead of it being some Madden in-joke/obscure reference.:lol

Godspeed, gentlemen.

Randomly opened a couple pro packs this morning. Landed Kyle Williams (Elite) and IRG3 (Gold). Did a check for both players and Williams is starting at 35k. IRG3 13k. For Williams the decision is to sell him on AH or put him in the Elite Bills set. That's tough. Obviously Elite cards are hard to get, and if you try to buy them you're looking at least 35k+.

I am trying to complete the Texans Elite set. I put in some bids last night for players whose owners obviously dont know they belong to an Elite set or don't care. Checked this morning and won all 3. I've got 10/20 required cards so far. You also need an Elite badge to complete a set. Luckily I have one but they regularly go for 40k on the AH. Also have to acquire an Elite Jonathan Joseph card for :x

I gave CB Vick yesterday and DCX Bradford. Ferny you taking your sweet time over there when at any moment I could decide to get coins instead of being a good friend !!

I got beat in overtime by the 82 ranked Dolphins in my quest to finish the Bears season challenge. Patriots are going to be impossible.

Huh, I don't see a lot of Ax Sange's. Is that a new thing? Doesn't it cost about as much as a blade mail?

Heaven's Halberd is good on him if you're facing a right-click heavy team. Not sure if I'd go for it as a first item though.

It to build into a heavens halberd. Probably should've gotten blink first though.

Brady is going to eat you alive.CPU cheats like hell. Best bet is to get the ball first, call only running plays, and get to 3rd and shorts for quick slant routes. Took me a good amount of attempts to knock them off when I started. I think Bears is what most people do first since its the first team that appears in the regular season solo challenges. Your team is pretty garbo starting out which makes it a lot tougher.
