got some feelers out for the cards but if we have the 31/32 guys in ill start it tonight!
Which is a shame because I think this game "feels" better than last year's madden.

What? I'm 34 and I'm almost positive I'm faster than I was last year.
Not really. Just hopeful speculation on my part.

Godspeed AT.
I will sign into the league tonight.

I'd like to. Financially, not sure if that is wise at the moment. Even regretting the Madden purchase a bit.
Had no idea how bored you guys have been.
So that's what you've been sucked into.
Hopefully the cap is level 5.

The 2 sweetest words in the English language, DE-FAULT!
Shitty part is that I was strongly debating withdrawing from the league this year too. My health has been not so good lately and i'm having a tough time dealing since I'm usually THE bull in the china shop. Long story short, had to go to ER Thursday for heart concerns, yadda yadda, they anesthesized me stopped my heart and zapped me to get it back to normal. I have a huge burn mark on my side from the shock and I'm on all kinds of meds.
All that said I cant pass this up, hopefully I can at least halfway fill ATs big shoes.
Hope you are on your way to a full recovery. Get well friend!
In other news, did Sony make a mistake, I'm currently downloading the early release for NHL on my PS3.

It's amazing how scripted Madden's become in certain areas, the run blocking is ridiculous. DE waiting on a counter to get blocked when he can blow it up before it gets anywhere. MLB just sitting in the gap instead of attacking downfield when he has a clear shot at shooting it and getting the back at or near the LOS. LBs sat back last year too, but the OL didn't get to them as quickly as they are this year.
Quick question to you PC gamers, how do you connect your rigs to the net? I'm contemplating getting those powerline adapters but have no experience with them. I'd prefer wifi, any wifi cards you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

I have a wired connection since my PC resides near my cable modem.
Same as Sanjuro, Gigabit connection.

Desk is kind of far from my router. Should have clarified in my post. I'm connected directly right now but the wire is out in the open, nothing to hide it behind.
...it's time to stop hiding.

Is it feasible to get a wiremold of some sort to run the wire through or will that look worse?
I use this:

Cheap, and gets me full bars even though the router is on the first floor and the opposite side of the house.
I guess that's an option, hadn't thought about that. Really want to reduce cables though.
I'm betting none of you use wireless kb/mice? lol
Thats another subject. Wireless all the way.
Eh. Depends on my mood. I prefer wired most of the time, but own both.

Damn dude I'm really sorry to hear that. Rest up and get better soon. How's Courtney doing, is she taking care of you?
I didn't! Reading reviews. Mostly positive except for a couple of users who had there's die on them, but even they gave it a positive review. "Great product, shame it died on me."
Less than 20 bucks too, might be worth a shot. Was considering some internal Rosewill solution earlier.
I use the power line adapters as well. They are great.
What I've got at my place is a main router downstairs, with an adapter plugged in. I've got another adapter upstairs that I plug into another router so I have better wi-fi upstairs, and then I direct connect all my shit to that router
Everything will basically be in one room, or close enough anyway, same floor. Which adapter/brand did you buy?
Can we skip the preseason too? Or just do like 2 games...something.
First step is get a good wireless router. Second step is get that janky ass antena splat posted.
Or do what I did and just build a house from scratch with your gaming needs in mind! Pro-tip, run a big ass conduit from each room to the main hub. Makes post-construction wiring a breeze!

My router is in my living room entertainment stand so game consoles and TV are hooked up by wire. All computers use wireless. I have no issue with my desktop upstairs in office. Found a nice card on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034CL2ZI/?tag=neogaf0e-20
By far the best wireless card I've had.
As for mouse/keyboard, I use wired mouse and wireless keyboard. For a desktop I always use a wired mouse, no actual preference on keyboard.
Wireless mouse if I use one on laptop.

I saw a $150 dollar Asus router that people were recommending. Will I really see a huge difference? I'm not living in some enormous home/apt.
That's kind of my setup. Cable modem is hooked up by tv, router plugged in there. Consoles wired, rest is wireless.
I got TP-Link
This one

That's the one I got. I saw a massive, massive difference. However my old router was like 4 years old so not sure what you are coming from.
This sounds like the most viable thing to do, get to it LJ.

i will say again:
PRE-SEASON IS 24 HOUR ADVANCE PERIOD. PRE-SEASON WEEK 1 IS STARTING TONIGHT. IF YOU DON'T WANT THE CPU TO AUTO-CUT SOME OF YOUR GUYS THEN I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING YOUR ROSTER DOWN TO 53 BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT
