Bluemax could've been our specialist!
Website works better on a phone this year
Nightz, you sure you weren't accessing the 13 cc site?
Despite it working earlier today, now it's telling me the same thing. Lemme know what they say.
Yup, it's the site for 25. I log in and it gives me the demo of the new site, then afterwards I get the error message.
I contacted them a week ago. Doubt I'll hear anything.
Heck yes!

You were too afraid to play me in 2K13
We have the superior named Hardees in Wisconsin! I don't think coupons are cross compatible.
There are a lot of Xbawx tearstime in that thread. I like how they keep comparing a mythical service which currently doesn't exist versus one which is going into live beta this week.
If XB1 digital sharing was ready to go why doesn't MS just implement this method on day one for digital purchases? Methinks some aspects still need to be worked out.
Will it be better? Maybe. MS now has a target to beat. Doesn't mean much to me though as I'll have people with years of Steam library listings in my slots, versus having to start at square one on XB1. Plus, I don't really care if it's better on XB1. This is a cool little perk in addition to what we have on Steam. If MS makes sharing compelling on XB1 it will give me more incentive to go digital. But I still won't buy as many games on XB1 because the store pricing sucks compared to Steam.

Not surprised
Oh come on, I wasn't even able to mockingly make up something this stupid.

Geez...GG Shake. You could only imagine what I was doing when my right analog wouldn't respond to the "up" motion at the end of regulation. Wish there was a way to put this back on the buttons...I hate the analog for this shit.
Anyway, great job stuffing the run. Your DT's were mauling my guards.

I felt so bad when you missed that gimme FG there at the end. The kick itself was fucking hilarious... i was dying. It was like a limp dick. So sad and unimpressive... and unfortunately hooking to the right. I figured something went wrong like a huge lag spike or something. I would have felt dirty if I somehow pulled it out in OT. I struggled stopping the play action all day and bit real hard on one in OT which pretty much sealed the win for you. Giving up that 3rd and 19 when I had a guy in position to make a pick felt bad too
Fun game!
Just play the lord of the rings MOBA
Try switching to an alt account, that got it to finally update for me.

still scared of your UMVC beating i see. keep running rors, the past will eventually catch up with you!
Finally kicked me during a bot game and it worked.
Bitch, you never wanna play when I'm around. I'll be around next weekend (21-22). Practice up while I continue to rust. Maybe you'll stand a chance!

I had the same problem with the league site last night. Thought it was just some script problem.
As far as the game - I agree that the tackle windows are way too small. Same situation as Ram, I sniffed out a screen and I'm standing right over the guy, no dice. What's worse is that the AI controlled players get juked out of their shoes with a simple change of direction.
Secondly, the XP system is worse than last year IMO. It is far too easy to get a guy who is a complete slug in one or two categories and turn him around in a couple of weeks since the category upgrades are so fucking cheap until you get to around 80. We're all going to have teams that are even more ridiculous than last year by mid next season.
As far as the injuries, I've had a ton of them too, but they haven't been too severe. I don't think it's a big deal if it's like that, but if it ends up with 3-5 guys per team out for serious time by the end of week 3 then maybe we should look at it.

heat seeker might be helpful but i actually just read that neither heat seeker NOR ballhawk work in online connected career.... even if you turn them on!
not that i mind in the case of ball hawk. honestly it's nothing near what it was last year and i've gotten picks the old fashioned way without much problem. i was totally against heat seeker at the beginning but with how horrible tackling is i'd be open to trying anything. i guess i could always switch off the tackler at the last moment!

All thanks to me.
Yup.
Holy fuck. Does anything work in this fucking game?

it's tiburon we're talking about here. i'm surprised there aren't MORE issues

Hahaha
I believe that was a result of a botched draft pick I had to make for eznark. He traded me Aaron Rodgers for a kings ransom and I clicked away at a guy he wanted and it gave me some other douchebag RB when he already had 2 pretty good ones.

the problem was solved wasn't it!?
Remember when there were near constant disconnects during online franchise games two years ago and it was caused by the two players not having the same community rosters, which makes absolutely no sense since OF doesn't even use those rosters. Their solution, instead of fixing whatever bug in the code was causing the disconnects, was to force a check and mandatory install of the most recent community rosters before every online franchise game.
This slapped-together solution was so satisfactory, that it still existed in the game a year later in Madden 13 (and maybe this year?).

Nope. Game sucks. We are all biding our time and hoping the PS4 version isn't complete garbage either.

without competition (through exclusive deals or lack of competition due to incompetency) games like madden, nba 2k and mlb the show never improve substantially. you basically get the same shit every year with a couple minor changes here and there (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse)
definitely interesting hearing ian cummings talking about the culture around the madden games.
its obviously not all tiburons fault. i feel there HAVE to be people there that have great ideas that just get shot down. much like the actual NFL, they have to pander to the lowest common denominator on what the top guys think the majority wants
Opening kickoff return?
I'm in Baltimore. Cannot wait to go to Camden tomorrow! I'll be the guy asking everyone where Hamsterdam is.
get brentech to replace eznark. he's about to get iced.
