best of luck bro
Holy shit at that last play. That was less than 1 fps. This is just getting progressively worse and worse as the game goes on.
I can go tonight if you like.
I've played madden enough to know that you always use direct connection.
Can I quit this game? This is such a huge waste of time. We've been playing for over an hour and I'm not actually playing. I hit the pass button at least 4 times for that int you had and there was one time where I didn't get to pick my offensive play because I got courageous and didn't just choose the Gameplay suggested play.
When I say I am not playing I mean it. I am not holding my controller.
I am watching the game though. Helping my son play Castlevania on his DS.
I was full time while doing night classes for my Masters.
Thanks guys for the well wishes.
Second punt with zero punt power due to lag.
Am I allowed to quit? I need to put my kids to bed. This lag is ridiculous.
On defense I hit the A button to select the Gameplan play. And then just watch.
On offense I hit the A button to select the Gameplan Run play and then hold up (occasional move the stick back and forth and make engine sounds with my mouth).

Good game, Az, that was fun. I already hate the option. When Flacco is running all over me, I'm either an idiot at stopping it or it's busted. But it'll be fun trying to stop it next time. And I guess I need to learn how to stop Ray Rice from running up the middle all day on me too.
lol

GG, man. First OT game so it was pretty intense. Yeah, I think you can key in on the QB but I tried to use it infrequently enough to where you would forget about it when I hit you with it. Your screens were tearing me up, though. And your TE, though I feel like I must've injured him 4 times that game.
I got an interception in the endzone even! I had to run back into the room to see the replay. It sounded exciting so I didn't want to miss it.Azwethinkweiz

Hey, I run the triple option, bitches. Regular read option is too easy.
Drizzler you ready to play?
The corporate world is fucked up. Best thing to do is what you are doing right now.

what do you want? your entire team to stay healthy every game? i don't see an issue with injuries.
but that's just me! is there an epidemic of injuries?
Seemed like a lot of guys got nicked up that game, but only Brown out longer than a few plays and only 2 games total. That's way better than real life Steelers this week!
GG though, I was worried how it would end up after your first drive went right to my endzone without any resistance. Didn't mean to score that late TD w/ Gio, meant to fall down at the 1 but he slid further than I expected, sorry!
There were a couple plays that just seemed off, like the screen I housed. You had me in the backfield and the tackle just.. didn't happen.
I just wanna go one series without hearing Jim tell me the training staff is coming out.
^ The game was over when Ben fumbled by being sneezed on. I hit X to slide, nothing happened. I hit X to tackle on the screen, nothing happened. After he fumbled he couldn't throw a pass to save his life, and my WRs couldn't catch anything when it actually did get to them.
The only way you seem to be able to get any stops this year is when a person has to go to passing exclusively. Runs are like automatic 3-4 yard gains, it's impossible to penetrate the line with a manual LB, which makes the game ultra dull for me. Defense just feels sluggish and not fun.
I could just be old, disinterested, and washed up, always a possibility.
I guess my guys were shook at Reliant & at Heinz in the games we played, because they dropped tons too. Me & Live both had drops in our game too, definitely seems to be a consistent problem in my experience.

my main problem with defense is they went WAAAAAY too far in taking away suction tackling. i dont want to magically make every tackle, but the game seems to be going a bit of the way that NCAA did where there is basically a paper thin "tackle box" (i.e. the area near the runner where you need to navigate your guy to initiate the tackle animation). i've had guys BASICALLY dead to rights so many times but they just snake on by

Yup, definitely is the biggest issue. I saw the screen from a mile away when Splat called it, and was literally sitting right next to the RB when he caught it, but got shit for my diligence.
But you've been shook against me for going on a year + now. That's nothing new.
Cushing is out 5 weeks with Torn Labrum. Need to bring the roids in.
injuries are fine doe

lol they are fine. i ask again, do you want NO injuries at all? what is the point of having a 53 man roster if you only ever need to use 22-30 of the players?
What?! I can't read now, but link so I can see it tomorrow!

I haven't had any injury issues myself but Crow had three guys go down in our game and a half. One of them was a bad injury too. If we aren't seeing knees blowing out every game I think it's realistic the way it is.
There has to be on average 3-4 injuries per game in the NFL.
