Official Madden '16 PS4 Online league thread: DOTA says

I usually take one shower a day but at night I'll take it if I had a busy day or if I'm wearing a hair product. Sometimes it's kind of nice as a way to keep shit going.

"I'm too tired I think I need to sleep"
"come on man play more 2k/nhl"
..........
"Alright give me five to ten"
 
Dear opponent of mine who I don't know because I've been irresponsible : I'll be back around 11:30 tonight, maybe earlier. I'm also around after 8:45 CT tomorrow if that's what works for you. If neither are good just AP my ass.

That shit was like the biggest momentum game I've played in a while. First qtr went totally my way then 2nd was all you as you made some great adjustments and then Eli became Eli. It was crazy.

GG Ferny. What a fucking disaster this game is so fucking cursed. Ever since Bluemax posted those interception numbers I have been exceptionally cautious about it and had thrown just 1 int in my last 3 games. In this game I was just as cautious making all of the right reads and throws but Eli literally kept overthrowing or just missing so far off the mark right into a waiting defenders arms. It was complete bullshit considering how fucking far off some of the throws were, and I wasn't throwing any ints, so it wasn't a confidence thing.

Fucking bullshit. Came back from 14-0 down to take a 17-14 lead then the int parade started.

Got my desktop on Windows 10 settled now. Sticking with Rainmeter for extra multi screen info.

Right side shows CPU core usage along with disk space used/free. RAM % used.
Below it, GPU usage, VRAM used, GPU temp under the usage graph (gets the info from afterburner).
Unfortunately CoreTemp doesn't work with windows 10 yet.

I got the new XBONE dashboard...so good. Blows away the PS4's UI by a mile


Yep! Been testing it for awhile, it's good!

did they stop making everything an app and return to the days of 360? xbones current UI (the one i have) is the worst on the market (tied with WiiU)

Not everything, but it has a real "guide" now with instant friends list, parties, etc. No app loading for all that. So for what you're looking for the answer is probably yes.

Once this UI (remember it's a whole new operating system not just a UI) is out and finished it'll be the best on the market easily.

I just got a message from Xbox live with a code to be a part of community calendar with the new OS? No idea, can't do anything till I get home Sunday.

so when i lookup friends/messages/etc. i dont have to go to a separate app, it all opens up immediately?

what about streaming? on ps4 it literally takes me about 3 seconds to get my streaming started. on xbone, it literally takes me 60 seconds or more, which is a fucking joke

intangibles, motherfucker
The Iron Banner reminds me how futile it is playing team objective games with randoms. So fucking frustrating.

Yes to the first part, well I haven't tested messages but they are on the guide so I assume so.

Streaming I haven't tested on the new OS, but I think you still have to load Twitch up in snap. No idea though for sure.

Got some good games in with randoms yesterday. Used the max stability perk on my Bad Juju and was wrecking people with it.

GG Luke. Failed to convert a lot of my offensive success into points and it cost me.

Lots of defensive frustration as well, felt like I was constantly fighting my defense to get them to do what I wanted. I know LJ has bitched about this before, but it's literally impossible to cover the flats this year. I can only user control so many players and CPU defenders completely ignore flat zone instructions and will still turn their backs and run 10 yards downfield.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? Controlling my defender and he inexplicably turns away from the ball for no reason. I certainly didn't do anything close to that motion with the stick, I was sprinting for the sidelines to cut him off. Feels like it happens to me once a game, incredibly frustrating for someone that actually plays manual defense.

What a horror show -- nothing went your way for 90% of that game. I thought after punting it 9 yards on my first kick that it was game over, but everything else broke my way the rest of the game.

FWIW, I was torn about that roughing the kicker penalty -- not sure what protocol is, but I've expected everything all year that wasn't "walk-to-the-line" offsides to be accepted, so that's what I did. And that early PI call on you. Crap, John Madden had it out for you today.

Such is life. The PI and roughing the kicker were so stupid.

What's up guys? So I finally picked up a ps4. I'm terrible at madden right now but I'd really like to get back into league play if/when a spot opens up. Until then, I'm up for scrimmages or whatever.

I also picked up 2k16. Any of you guys do the park or pro am stuff? I haven't really touched online in either game yet.
