I am ready to do it tonight CB. What time do you want to do this?

maybe in two hours or so. Im not home right now but im thinking ill be home and able to play around maybe 6-6:30 PST. Is that good with you?

 

[DCX]

I have to go to EB and get my replacement disc, becuase my 360 loves to eat discs. True and i are having a decdnt game but twice have i had read errors on my end and we had to start it up again...momentum broken for the both of us...sorry True...

[samson]

ramirez: I don't want to start the league with a cheap win (and saddle you with a cheap loss). If there's no scheduling alternative, I'd be happy to take a tie.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

samson, you are in a new division and have a new opponent. it's MrBob. contact him on aim:

mrbob2k1

 

[Ramirez]

Yea I've had like 3 dirty disc errors,I got a new copy,but I'm not sure if it was the game or my system to be honest.

 

[DCX]

I had about three dirty disc errors with my game with Trulize, it killed any type of flow...i had alot of fun though and True was a sport about it. My disc has that ring of sctraches, taking it bck tomorrow.

[Mrbob]

Samson where are you.

 

[Lonestar]

FMT, on the team stats on the front page, you have "Interceptions" which are how many that team throws, but you also have "Interceptions Thrown" which doesn't fit the stat, as those are how many those team intercepted from the other team. Can the stat name be changed on that?

 

[CB3]

Holy Shit i couldnt catch i break against you shawn. That + Me playing like shit = blowout.

2 Kickoff Returns for TD's. A shitload of dropped passes. Me throwing horrible passes. -_-

Ah well, im used to slow starts. Ill just have to Haul ass on my next opponent. GG Anyway Shawn.

BTW, it wasnt a big deal, but your suppost to have the cone on as soon as your passing play starts, not when your about to throw it.

Boy oh Boy, whoever I face next..., i will beat you into oblivion

 

[Shawnwhann]

GG CB, I could not have asked for anything better than the performance I got from my Bucks. 50-14 is a grrrreat opening statement. As far as the passing cone goes, the thing is not on by default so it goes on when I make my read. I dont use the analog stick I use the Left Trigger to turn on my cone. The analog stick is clunky as hell, the only way to use the cone and be halfway proficient is using the trigger.

NEXT!!!!!!

 

[Truelize]

gg DCX. Sucks that we had to play it in 3 seperate parts. Especially for entering stats. There's an hour I wont have back. Ugh.

I think I've figured out why the cone has to be manually turned on. In Madden regardless if it was a normal pass play or a play-action play the cone turned on as soon as the ball was snapped, therefore your opponent was well aware that they were seeing a play-action when you called one. Now I can't turn my cone on until after I have faked the hand-off which is much more effective. I'm glad it is this way. And I hope Madden is the same way.

Well, the flip side to this is, on Draw plays, the Cone isn't "on" like it was in last years Madden.

 

[gstaff]

Apparently MrSparkles could be FMT or someone else, not sure. I'll stay up 30 min or so to find a game.

[Lonestar]

what's going on? You need someone to play against with the fill in team?

 

[Truelize]

So far I have earned all of these achievements and not gotten credit for them.

1. throw 4 TD passes in a game - earned twice
2. rush for 200 yards - earned once
3. get 4 sacks - earned 3 times
4. return a kick for a TD - earned once and good luck getting that one again easily
5. throw for over 350 yards - earned twice.


What is up with these achievements?

To get achievements, you have to play Offline with 5 min quarters on Varsity or higher difficulty.

 

[hgplayer1]

just played my first online game and league game and man was it sluggish. the whole game ran like it was running through mud. I hope that isnt the norm. it gave me a serious headache.

 

[Lonestar]

Hmm, I tried to help out gstaff, but we kept running into the problem ramirez mentioned earlier, about the "opponent has left match" while still on the pick team menu.

 

[gstaff]

this sucks.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

gstaff i can play if you like

 

[Lonestar]

Well, sucks that it wouldn't work, sorry dude.

But, I did notice, in the User Settings, where you choose "your team", and I noticed...that every other college's fight song's SUCK. I mean, in the game, anyway. They all share the 8 or 9 generic ones from EA. But not Alabama's!!!

 

[Shawnwhann]

Creating a session and inviting the player to the game helps me when I play my games. Doing game from the lobby seem to lag a lot more than the aformentioned way. CB and I played a lag free game. Hope this helps.

 

[Ramirez]

GG CP,if your team was rated as high as mine I would have probably got my ass beat.

Edit:Any way you can add more slots to the defensive stat section?I still had like 5 people that had tackles,no room to put them in =\

 

[gstaff]

so that game against FMT was my first game online with this game. How often is it that slow. Am I recording team and player stats?

 

[Cloudy]

Any way you can add more slots to the defensive stat section?

Hit save on that screen and it adds 2 slots to every stat group

Am I recording team and player stats?

Yep

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

gstaff it's usually a tad slower than the single player game, but we had some pretty bad lag. the only plus side is that it was consistent. at least in that case you can kind of adapt. when the lag comes and goes quickly is when there is a problem.

i felt like it was a good game that turned after i blocked that XP. that and my sweet userpick at midfield

 

[Truelize]

yeah I think I had cranked the time up on the other games I had played. But I ran a kickoff back for a TD in my 5 minute all-american game against DCX (league game) and I didn't get that achievement. Too bad too.

 

[gstaff]

yeah, good game, and you're right about the lag being consistent. If its like that, it will take me a long time to adjust. I felt like offense it was tolerable, but I couldn't make a tackle to save me.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

lol yeah the tackling was a bitch, especially on option plays. the worst play of the game for me was that Play Action you called and i bit on that shit so badly.... that was embarrassing... luckily you dived out at the 1! unluckily you pounded it in next play

 

[DCX]

I'm getting a new copy of the game today guys, i don't know when the leauge advances but i should have a "disc error " free game. Again, sorry for that Truelize.

DCX

 

[Lonestar]

egads, there are tons of stat issues! OSU guy has 3 kickoffs for TD's now? I see a punter who punted 100+ times! Bad math on the punting average. FMT, FOR SHAME...

 

[Shawnwhann]

Actually "OSU guy" had two kickoffs for touchdowns. Back to back returns. ASK CB...

Dunno why three returns are showing up.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Coinreturn beat me fair and square, but I was struggling a little with lag. Makes the timing of jukes and stutters a little wonky. I dread playing people on the west coast...

 

[Lonestar]

Dunno why three returns are showing up.

Yeah, I know you got 2. Also, reverse your 3rd down attempts and conversions. They're flipped around.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Well, I had lightning strike my house and I was just BARELY able to get back online. So, I need to find out if it's too late for me. I see that my team is already 0-1 and owned by Cloudy. Was my team passed to another because of my absence, or did someone simulate the game?

If I can get things worked out I'd love to still play.

[StoOgE]

Im not sure what to do right now. I sent my round 1 guy a friend invite, and he got on last night and accepted it, but was offline about 1 minute later. I'll be on tonight from about 7-12 CST. My home PC is fried right now though, so I cant get on at home.

 

[ianswoody]

Yeah man, I wasn't at home last night, so I sent an invite via Xbox.com. Like I said, I'm available all night tonight, so we can do it.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Who's the guy using TCU? We need to get our game going pronto.

I just played week 1 cos FMT asked me to. You can take them back over...

 

[DCX]

I got a replacement disc today. We'll see how long this disc will last. When will know our week 2 opponents?

DCX

 

[StoOgE]

Yeah man, I wasn't at home last night, so I sent an invite via Xbox.com. Like I said, I'm available all night tonight, so we can do it.

sorry for the confusion. Yeah, we'll get it done tonight, and the option can't save you anymore NU!

 

[gstaff]

I think I might have fixed my connection after our first game, FMT, (i tried switching cables). I played another game without any slowdown issues.

How many games are we planning on getting in in a given week?

 

[Lonestar]

Yo, if that's the case, sometime later today, I'd like to try out the connection, to see if it was my connection or yours.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Nice...

So for the stats, did you use a roster to determine the player's real names, or did you use that data transfer thingy to update them on your 360?

 

[Cloudy]

I used the roster on espn.com. The frikken starting QB's name wasn't on leaguedaddy :lol

 

[vumpler]

Someone get one and play me. I wanna own someone And have a mic.

[gstaff]

i'll buzz you when i get home from work

Edit: Gamertag: Jason Smapity

I tried entering in the original version of what you wrote, JasonSmapity, and it came up "no none user." So, there is a space inbetween those 2 words?

 

[Coin Return]

DenogginizerOS it was a good game, sucks you had that lag on your end. On a side note does anyone know why it says I have 3 ints when I in fact had no ints. Just wondering. Cause I assume stuff like that affects are rankings.

 

[C4Lukins]

Who's the guy using TCU? We need to get our game going pronto.

It is me. Gamertag- C4Lukin

I can play anytime tonight or tomorrow. Just PM me here on GAF, or send an invite if you see me on Live.
