Maybe we can try Wednesday... not sure what daytime hours you're available, but if nothing comes up, I may be able to play around 3ET.
Otherwise, around 10ET or shortly after is typically OK for me, unless there's family stuff going on (Wed should be alright)

Can you go at like 10 PM ET?

I'll be available a little later tonight. Like... 8ish? I'm not certain but I will be around.
Are you going to have special guests.

there is a trend for kids to be getting way more homework than before when older people were in school.
but three hours is most likely bullshit
Yeah, I would absolutely believe it from my high schoolers. Back then I don't think we could take more than 3-4 AP classes, and they didn't offer most until junior year. Now I've got Freshman who are taking more than that and I don't understand how these kids survive this shit, to be honest.
But middle school and 3 hours? FOH, kid.

Isn't that the point of it?
I don't even want to play tonight. The prospect of an agonizing hour of Madden in which I get my shit pushed in repeatedly by the Bills defense isn't really too enticing. That said I'd rather take the medicine now than worry about it another day, I guess. I'll do myself the favor and just hammer down the remaining half bottle of bourbon laying around in the house to make this beat down a little easier.
this post is disgusting even by eeyore standards
things aren't so bad, friend!
We just call this Tuesday now for our depressed friend Wellie
I don't know what it is but I find passing pretty much impossible this year. I think it's because last year was so easy with an accurate QB that it totally spoiled me and I still think I can make throws that were possible last year but it's a fucking chore. It all just seems slower. Everything except the kicking meter (which is ludicrous) feels covered in molasses.
That would require a desire to improve rather than a desire to bitch.

Guys I am facing the #1 team in the league, I am #29. I am going to get destroyed, no eeyores about it.
The talent on my team is Jaguar level. A bunch of replacement level dudes. Shit I would prefer having the Jags at this point, you have a lot of young pieces that are good. My young pieces suck except for OBJ. Pugh, Flowers, Landon Collins, Bromley, they fucking stink. Thanks Jerry Reese!
practice madden
ok
.
I'm not even bitching so much as relaying my experiences. I seem to be the only one who doesn't like it. Is anyone else trying to use the different passing buttons they've added? Just seems to make the throws wildly inaccurate.
Game is much slower, think it's the slowest one yet. EA did this in the past, drastically reduced the speed yoy, can't recall which year it was. Last night against Phee I had a few wtf throws, so did Phee for that. Can be extremely frustrating to sail a ball wide when you had a guy wide open. Also hate how often players are caught from behind.
i haven't used L1 or L2 modifiers a single time yet. Would be impossible with Manziel.
If you're having problems throwing with Aaron Rodgers, that's a you problem tbh. All throws with and without modifiers are open for use with him. Practice mode with your connected franchise team seems to be the best option here, but you don't seem open to it so... *shrug*
If you still have your game from last year, play a game with Rodgers then immediately play a game with Rodgers this year. The differences are incredible.
And yeah, not saying it's not a me problem. I said I haven't been able to adjust. Looking forward to watching someone else tear it up with him.
I agree it's way different, but Rodgers is still the best QB in the game. If you put a bit of time into it, I'm sure you'd pick up the nuances added to this years version and adapt.
But again...I dunno how much you want to do that.

You know Flacco is on the trade block
I'm sure we can work out a deal with some picks and Flacco for Rodgers
not saying you make it a daily routine - just get one 30-minute session of plays to mess around with how platform/pressures/leads influence the throw
your experience with the passing game on all-madden has probably been the 3 games from the league, and it's a huge leap up over the other difficulties this year
you have the guy on the cover
ez game
Only real issue I have is the long ball inaccuracy.
Probably lost out on about 4 big scoring plays (or plays that would put me in scoring position) through 3 games.
I know Manziel is Manziel, but it's crazy how completely off a throw to a WR who has 2 yards on his defender will be.

yeah, still can't figure that out and it feels like a coin flip at times
I think it's mainly a timing thing... even if a receiver gets a perfect release and has separation immediately, you have to wait longer than you think before you can throw

You will shred me. My pass D is terrible just like in real life
My problem is that it feels very much like a binary thing. The game decides this is going to be a good pass or this pass is going to be uncatchable shit. It doesn't feel like a natural reflection of how inaccuracy works.

I've found the odds improve dramatically if you have your feet set but it might be coincidence too!
Seems playing on all madden also takes it to the extreme
I've definitely noticed the feet set part. But as AT says, it just seems like "hey this pass will be bad" regardless.
But then again I'm not sure if that's accurate because I point in the direction of where I want to throw and I completely over throw my guy.
feels like the passing windows are much more strict
someone that's clearly open on screen still needs to be at the right point in their route for you to be able to throw it to them accurately
if your throw is properly timed then all the accuracy/passing ratings get applied accordingly, but if you're outside of the window in either direction then they don't give a fuck and give you one of those random balls
it's pretty clear on verts with a TE compared to last year - last year if you got a free release you could rifle it in right after the snap, but now those balls get sailed

This is especially true on intermediate post routes where you double tap to get it over the lb. Anytime I've had a clean pocket and hit the throw on time it's incredibly accurate and the D can't get there
It's just emulating RL my friend, Madden is realistic!

That's why I blame shithead Reese and not Donny my friend.

Yeah I know! The Giants would be an awesome team if he was!
I think you can build a decent team though, you're usually pretty good at that. Granted I have no idea how the progression system is in madden this year or how the draft's will be, etc.
I can't wait to quote this again when you beat me.
This is me we are talking about, not Madden God.
