dm and i played into the 4th Q and i was up 24-3 when he got dc so he said i could have the win. i debated simming it but because kap got a serious injury, and gabbert was horrible, i didn't want to risk injury sim so i played CPU. never again. i won the game but it wasn't fun at all.
first off, "slow" in single player is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay slower than "slow" online. secondly, there isn't shit i could do about robo winston. third, the cpu would just crowd the box anytime i came out to run. and finally, aguyo hit a 55 yard fg AGAINST the wind.... unless the wind meter is correct in single player for some reason.

Maybe I don't know how it works, but mine's been messed up. Arrow points one direction but the wind goes the other way. I usually just figure out on opening kick off when I'll have the wind, but left/right scares me a little.

Oh it's definitely wrong

I haven't noticed either. I'm too shit at kicking to even start thinking about blaming it on the wind.
All I'm saying is that I haven't noticed it, because I largely base my kicks on whether or not I kick them well. Kicking is hard enough that I'm probably not going to try a extra long kick just because the wind is at my back.
I just haven't taken the time to notice one way or another.

It's pretty noticeable when the wind is going sideways

Was looking at the stats from the game I just had with CB, he sacked me 7 times, Barwin had 4. Fuck.

1 pick with the way the oline is playing is amazing. It's also amazing how god damn long he'll hold onto the ball and just take sack after sack.
kiko is cheap af, and i can cut maxwell for free because bowser paid the bonus right?

it's EA/madden so don't count on anything being accurate in regards to what salary cap effect cutting someone will have
i'm just basing that off of what they did last year so they probably changed it anyways, it's fine

I'll also be out of town for most of the weekend since I'm going to the Clemson game. I should be back Sunday afternoon/evening.
Oh are you kidding me? Bob lives for Shenmue
FMT, Cola and I are gonna try around 9:30PM EST so don't advance!
whoa, i totally thought I was on my bye week
I got hit with an allergy attack. Took medicine and was knocked out around 8p.
What was the damage on the Ls? Lost more than one?
Also I'm rethinking my SF Shot Creator. I could never really find a groove when I used him in the games a few days ago. I think I made him too tall. Shot Creators are supposed to have great handles and shoot off the dribble ability, but because he's 6'10 he's handles are trash.
Might press reset on him and make another around 6'5 or so. 6'10 Sharpshooter would've been legit...
We had won 2 or 3 in a row then took two straight Ls on last second possessions. Got smothered by athletic finishers who are apparently OP. We just kept trotting out lineups that didn't have much shooting on it and that athletic finisher kept doing athletic things against our bigs.
I like that shot creator of yours, the 6'10 makes him a little lanky and slower, but his release point is pretty high. I think another sharpshooter would be nice but there's something fun about having a shot creator---reminds me of Pierce/Allen.
I feel like ultimately the best lineup would be something like playmaker, shooter, shooter/creator, stretch big, athletic/post/rim protector big.
The problem with my SF is he's only good for shots off the dribble, which I have maxed out. His standalone mid range is capped at a small amount, and his 3 pt even lower. His handle is supposed to be good hence the ankle breaker badge, but hes so tall that he is artificially capped there too. Essentially he's only good for moving 2s, and layups/dunks.

Holy shit, was looking at the Bears roster, sorry Bird. They are almost completely bereft of even B level talent let alone A. At least you have Alshon, Trevathan, and McPhee....
I should be available Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday evening. Maybe tonight depending on when we advance.

Was there eggs in it?
Pretty much agreed. The variety is fun but it won't get the best results.
I love the idea of the builds they came out with, but they need to refine them a little bit more. I do think all of them have their effectiveness, but some are deficient in places that don't make sense, and then you have that athletic finisher who was draining threes because he had catch and shoot and the PG had dimer.
I know you're new to the league and might not know better, but you can just ignore him like the rest of us do.
Nope
Yep.
Im gonna look at the archetypes again, and probably make another player. My PG SS is fine. Good at everything. He's maxed in all categories except strength and rebounding, which I don't care for in a SS build anyway. Grand Badge and HoF badges there. I'm pretty much done with his build.
But I do want a taller player too, and I thought SC SF was the answer, but I didn't pay attention to his badges and the ramifications of his attributes when making him taller. I was thinking of KD when I made him, but 2k made it so that's not gonna happen. I'm not sure that's a bad thing tbh.
Is he perma banned?
I think he said until October 4th or something.
Ah ok, maybe he has learned to stay out of the OT.
Yeah man. This roster is pretty rough. Like you said, the LB group is OK, but that's about it. Alshon is a beast, but I need a QB that can consistently get him the ball. Cutler could be decent, but he is wildly inconsistent.
I won't be around tonight, but Saturday should work. I don't really have any plans other than 2 softball games Sunday evening.
i feel bad
If you end up not doing Reggie Miller, I would suggest that PF like I mentioned. You'll be like a young Shawn Kemp, but hopefully the other person we play with has a shooter. TBH I haven't been terribly overwhelmed by point forward, because when we play with a playmaker and point forward it feels redundant so that's probably why.
