Only problem is that I don't have a single ranked match (0-0 ftw!). Oh well, it's more fun with people on your friends list, anyway.

haha I went 13/39 against the computer ai of the Lions and couldt hit the endzone at all.I didnt know the Lions had championship D.

I forgot when you play Konex you really play the computer,ugh.

Did you even have one user tackle konex? zzzzzzz why must you play this way?

I remember this from last season :lol I bitched about it then along with the fact you didnt use the cone,atleast you use that now :p

edit- gg anyway,you have mastered the art of getting the cpu to play insane D.

Btw how were you able to get like ten mins in the pocket,I couldnt get to the QB at all even with blitzing,you had an all-pro off line :\

Can I get a little credit? :(

I hit x as my guy gets to you :lol

I dunno, man. Duce said the same thing. Maybe I pass quick? Unlike you expert cone-users I decide who I'm gonna pass to before I snap so I don't have to adjust it :D

well they dont seem to be crediting you with any user tackles :\

I give you credit for picking the right D plays, but come on dude its more like you play nfl head coach :p

Nah you didnt pass super quick,maybe a couple of times,but I just couldnt get to the QB at all till you let me at the end.

I wish I had that much time :\

When there is a little bit of pressure you run to the left a little bit then stop. I didnt see exactly whats happening but it buys you a ton of time somehow.

Until EA fixes the momentum, it's just too risky to play manual defense for me

Hmm...I dunno. I haven't had a problem with sacks at all like some folks though. The majority of my sacks are if I'm running PA and the defense is blitzing...

Yea well until you do it feels like im playing the cpu and the Texans cant do shit against the cpu on all-madden it seems.

Also the first FB td you had,did you see what I saw? your player ran through my guys :lol No contact at all.

FB dive is guaranteed positive yards unless the other guy knows it's coming :D


Nah I know that,I mean like he went thru my players,like a glitch.

The BS that happened to me on the first play was weirder though. Bobbles the pass, makes the catch then fumbles it for a TD :lol

It happens whenever two or more players are trying to tackle the same guy and the ballcarrier jukes one of them. You can go through 4 people if they're all trying to tackle you at the same time. It sucks!

Also, I hate how spinning = invincible unless you get the player right before he does it.

So Konex hits Y when he's not controlling the WR and hits X when he's not controlling the defensive player and still thinks he's responsible for the outcome? :lol

Man that's like when I trick my 4 year old daughter into thinking she is playing games with me by just handing her a controller that isn't turned on and then congratulating her when I do something good. :D She loves it. Maybe you can come play games with her Konex. :lol

K but about the jump passes. The only way to get those is to push up just as you are throwing the ball. It usually happens because you get the QB moving back upfield as you are about to throw. I push up sometimes when I'm trying to throw past a defender but it never works for me.

I really wish I could figure out how to throw the ball deep though. Anytime I try a deep pass I always wing up throwing it at the WR instead of throwing it deep and letting him chase it.


mmlemay: I can play tomorrow night if that works for you. I wasn't around at all today. Was building a pantry in my kitchen. I'm the next Ty. :)

I will say this,Konex didnt throw any jump passes against me and he has stopped running to the sidelines,helps that he has all day to throw :p :(


He just doesnt play any manual D.Id rather deal with jump passes myself,not seeing someone play any manual D just makes me feel like im playing with myself...

yes that sounds naughty.

You mean until you get better ;)

I play manual CB and I win most of my games. The momentum changes to this year's game make that even harder. Making a few tackles as a LB won't kill you.

:lol :(

OK seriously...on tackles, I switch to the nearest guy and hit x (I've abandoned the shitty hit stick cos I keep getting burned) but on pass deflections, I just wait till the ball is almost there and hit Y. It works, dammit! >_<

But I control the d-linemen :)

See, now I'm confused here. I saw some passes on both sides where the WR went up to get the ball. So that animation doesn't always mean it's a jump pass?

About what time works for you? I probably wouldn't be able to do it until later in the night. If we can't hook up it's no big deal, but we should try to get it in.

I am withdrawing from the league. I am not enjoying this and it has nothing to do with the people in the league. This game is broken in some key areas online and the experience for me is just not enjoyable. I am sorry if this causes an inconvenience but I am truly just not feeling this game. Best of luck to all.

Denog sorry about not being able to get our game in last night. Ive got that worked out now but I guess youre leaving.

DJ I can probably play tonight but it is opening week in the NFL and I cant get enough football so I may be watching the Colts game later.

if not tonight then Monday evening is good for me. probably no earlier than 8 CST.

I was a huge nba 2k fan but my damn game cracked in the center so its all jacked up. It did it while it was playing too. No idea, but I"m ready for 2k7 :D

I don't even know who AZ Greg nor karishbhr are Evan. So I don't know what to say about getting a game with those guys. *shrugs*

Hopefully they'll get with you soon though. I'm ready to see how you do with the mighty lions.

I'll tell you this as a member of the same division as you I'm not looking forward to facing your offense. I can only hope that my defensive magic keeps me in the game.

FMT: karishbhr and I tried about a dozen times to start a game tonight but for some reason it wouldn't let us. We both kept getting "unable to connect" or "opponent has left the room" messages. Neither of us has had this happen before. We've both had occasional lag against other players. I saw DM playing an unranked game while we were trying to play, so I'm assuming it's not the EA servers....but then again, it may be, knowing how crappy their online "service" is....anyway, let us know what you want us to do.

hgplayer: I'll be at FedEx Field south endzone tomorrow night for the game, so I won't be able to play until Tuesday night. Let me know what times work for you.

P.S. I hope the Jags victory helped get y'all used to losing, cause next week you'll have another L in your home stadium. :p

Sound like one of you is behind a router. You might want to try connecting your Cable Modem directly to the 360, that usually corrects the problem.

Gunstar, Konex: thx, I'll give that a try. It's odd, because I played a perfect, lag-free game with my week 2 opponent, bluemax. And several other lag-free games. But I played FMT for a laggy game which got disconnected at halftime. *shrug*

BTW, the Eagles look pretty damn good again this year. Granted, it was the Texans, but McNabb is 100% back and it's obvious that TO wasn't the only thing that got them to the SB 2 years ago. Oh, and :lol at the Saints for trading Stallworth.

I can't play on Mon-Wed due to my job (consultant with 100% travel). It's no biggie, though, with the regular season starting soon. FMT knows we aren't flakes so we're good.
