Official Madden '16 PS4 Online league thread #2: Blink Daggers and Backflips

intangibles, motherfucker
This Team Secret/Cyborg Matt missing money dota 2 drama is pretty great.

Nothing like some good ol fashioned e-sports drama.
 
It's not 100% because sometimes you get dudes whose scheme fit is the opposite. E.g. if you get a Run Blocking or Power Run tackle chances are he will have higher run block than pass block, despite being a tackle. The scheme stuff is supposed to clue you in on what a player's best attributes will be.

I have a "Pass Blocking" Guard that has 71 PBK and 86 RBK....

gg nightz. kap continues to be weird.... some games he is incredible accurate and on point (as he was in this game) and other games he chucks shit 10 yards oob for no reason.

GG. Probably should have went to bed instead of playing since I was falling asleep during the later portions of the draft. I might have put up more of a fight!

Development recap for the Falcons draft.

DE Derwyn Clark- STAR
HB Walker Gooden - STAR
TE Keland Stills - Quick
DT Trey Jordan - Quick

The rest are AVG

I turned Acey into a FS. I mean other than Goaline, a 83 speed CB has no real career in this league :/

LJ, I could play tonight if it isn't too late. Let me know.

I had a dumpster of a draft outside of the RT I took in the first round who has IBK blocking of 86. He is starting for me despite having lower PBK and RBK than Derek Newton. Poppy gotta eat.

I didn't do nearly the amount of scouting like I did in past seasons. Just basically looked at a few combine numbers, position need, and placed my faith in EA.

All my guys have normal development except Maggitt, who is slow. Of course he is.

Nevermind. French and SS Benjamin are Superstars!

My first two picks: rated an 85 and 81, respectively, both are 'slow' and went to USC. Coincidence?
The 3rd round pick rated a 74 went to Michigan St. and is a superstar.

Also, I drafted a Superstar QB, well the CPU did, LOL. Josh Richardson

MLB Julius Keith also superstar. TE Nunley is normal.

Stats aren't special, but I'm rolling with the rookie. Fuck it.

THP 89
Short 86
Medium 75
Deep 71
TOR 79
PA 69
SPD 71

I was gonna take Richardson with my pick in the 6th to be my backup but then you got him right before my pick
 
I need to trash my center and/or guard. They're the ones who consistently fuck up running plays.

"How'd he get into my backfield so fast?"
*watches stream*
The RG/C are just standing blocking no one!

Their stats aren't totally bad

I just remember last year, i think it was, when me, crow, and someone else all drafted RBs from Wisconsin in the first round, and they were all beasts.

It might just be familiarity bias but I swear every year like 15% of the guys in the pool are from Wisconsin. I didn't notice this year, but the last two drafts each had 2 Wisconsin QB's highly rated.

I completely revamped my offensive line without adding any new pieces. I just shifted guys around. It significantly increased my pass blocking stats. No idea if it helped because CB never blitzed and honestly I don;t throw a lot of deep stuff, but if it did that would be nice.

Could this be the season where Greg and Eznark make the playoffs?

Stay tuned

Would be cool if pheeniks made it. But he already established that's not a priority or big deal for the Cardinals organization.

I've made the playoffs a bunch, NFC North used to be easy. It would be either me or bob depending on who decided to not tank that year. I don't think I ever won a playoff game though.

Looking forward to that cakewalk again in next year's Madden. AFC South where all I have to beat are midgets and scammy game devs.

I got one or two slow development players. I know my 2nd round pick was slow. Last draft I got that OLB that was 2nd in talent and was slow but he's like a 89 now. That shit doesn't matter at all in this game with the XP at the default settings.

Finnegan the TE I took in round 1 is a beast but he's normal Dev.

The WR I took in round 2 is superstar Dev; 6'4 Connor James.

Surprised to see so many of you worry about Dev given it's season 4 and XP is garbage to begin with. I didn't even bother checking my picks to see.

I never said that.

I said that becoming a Smokey (a cheat, a lie, a hack) was never a priority.

There's a very satisfying feeling knowing you drafted a Superstar and not a dumb ass bitch.

Josh Robinson, the OLB that Phee coveted, was an 84 ovr out of the gate and true talent number 1 but Slow development.

Just means his floor is high but his ceiling is low.

Finn VS Stills gives a slight edge to Stills due to dev. The value of your pick is much better though! :)

Fuuuuck, sorry Rinse. His stats aren't great, will take 10k XP to get him to 90 Throw Power. I'm honestly hoping for one thing, faster throwing motion, Foles takes forever.

DCX, I went to bed around 12, couldn't stay up. I'll be free tonight, probably after 9pm.

By the way, there was some 89 speed, 89 ACC, 6 foot 6 LB in the FA pool. Maybe I was delirious and put numbers in different stat categories, but I signed him and if these numbers are true, LOL.

I saw the same guy and as I went to sign him he was gone lmao!

Mettenberger has 95 thp and man it makes a difference! Throwing the same routes that Natty Ice did I noticed a HUGE difference already!

There was some rust going on between Blue and I last night in our game for sure, I made a couple bad decisions passing wise, but god that Seahawks defense moves so fast. Guy would be way behind my receiver and I'd throw it and he'd be there in an instant, thankfully I don't play them again.

Was a pretty fun defensive game and I felt like I played LB pretty well compared to last season, just need to treat Madden 16 as a training tool for Madden 17 at this point.

Not the order I drafted in but that's what it shows for some reason.

Still mad both Taylor and Rosemond were gone by 10 and I legit took the wrong guy with my first pick. Didn't want the QB or CB that was chosen but sim pick took them for me so whatever. The HB, LB, LE and WR are immediate players for me. The other guys will be roster fodder.

Didn't get much help this off-season considering every FA went to either Washington or Chicago.

Shit my LE is already 81 after drills.

Dude the ball gets there so much faster with high throw power, night and day. Release motion is underrated though, no way to scout it either.
 
I hated my draft as it happened but in the end it wasn't so bad. Thankfully I was able to minimize my mistake in the second round taking the other QB by flipping him to KC for a future third. Could've gotten another starter but I looked at my list and there were no more picks that I was really in favor of so I took a gamble in case the guy I took was Joe Montana 2.0.

I really like the inside MLB I took and I am thinking about putting him at my #1. I usually control the second MLB guy and I want to unleash him to the Madden gods.



ahhhhh yes Rainbow six patch!!
oh yeah forgot to upload this from last week. wheb taunting almost goes wrong...

Only got 2 useful players out the draft this season, but given they were at the only 2 real holes I wanted to address I guess I'm okay. Losing to Soka where one of them refused to attempt a tackle was frustrating, though.

Does anyone know if there is any stat penalty to putting a punter at kicker? (that wouldn't already be reflected on the depth chart screen)

I've done it. Despite having better kick stats in every category, their kicking meter was fucking razor thin. Also, you still need to have a kicker on your roster because EA is raterded.

I remember in preseason games it used to sub the punter in at K and he couldn't kick more than 10 yards.... which is strange because you can make your P the kickoff specialist and he can kick fine
