TheDuce, i'm having problems with the wireless network, and thats what I use for the 360. Would you be up for it later this week? Name the time.

Ya sure. How about tuesday night at 10 pacific? I am in no state to play tonight anyway. I am trying to wash away the pain of today with the cleansing power of alcohol but the horrible images are still in my head. WHY COULDNT YOU JUST FALL ON THE BALL LEWIS!!

Tuesday sounds fine, thanks again. It was a weird night over all, I couldn't believe that Giants game.

Just a quick question for league officials. Is there a rule for no-huddle offense? Can someone run it at the beginning of a game, not unlike the Colts?

I don't think the substitution/audible (lol substitutions...EA forgot to put those in) system is deep enough to do that. I could see how it would get annoying for the D since there are no hot routes and such either. Also, if you do the no-huddle too much, the game makes your o-line jump the snap, so it's pretty much impossible to do it all game.

I wasn't talking about me, I was playing someone last night who was using it and owned them pretty good. I was just wondering what the word on it was here, there is no rule in the rule page.

Also, EA forgetting substitutions is ****ing ridiculous! Not to mention that the hot route system sucks too much to effectively use no huddle anyway.

yeah the most you can really use the no-huddle is like 3 plays in a row. Your Oline gets pretty stupid after that. They will either get a penalty or they are so tired (Dline doesn't seem to fatigue) they you can get rolled over. Ror got 2 sacks on me while I was running hurry-up.

Also, there are a few games that teams have yet to input stats on. Maestro, where are your stats? Jaguars need to input their stats for the 2nd week

Out of boredom I just now changed around the front page a bit. I know this is FMT's baby, so I'm prepared for his wrath, but I think it looks a bit more organized. I took out the playoff standings since they just took up room. Ugh, I don't know. I guess I made it more like last year's site. Trying to fit everything in and prioritize it as well is real tricky.


edit: :lol :lol I was just looking at the player stats and I saw Mcnair in the lead with 189 touchdowns. Second place only had 4, take that! I told you I was jet-lagged last night, Matrix.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
:lol

Which makes me losing even more sad,I had that game...god damn shitty Texans.

Sable,AJ is still the better player in the game.I should have thrown to Moulds more,I did throw a couple of times and I couldnt pull anything down with him.

Hmm maybe it was just me, but I kinda liked the new layout. Oh well, neither are bad just saying.

I finally got my 360 today, after putting the call in on August 29th and now this is my third one. I'll enjoy it from the sidelines! :)

It wasn't very charming is the problem. One joke was pretty funny and unexpected, but an entire article on it? More like Peyton Yawnning.

As of Monday, the 360 patch update is tracking towards the end of the week. As the week progresses I will be following up with a tighter date window and more details.

Thanks.

The patch will solve all of our network and fatigue woes! All hail the patch!

I look forward to the next update saying it's "coming soon." :(

I'll try harder next time. It was really late. It was funny when I was writing it. I'm not writer like a certain Ravens fan here.

Tried twice with Cold, it just won't really work. He is in LA, I am in NYC. Both times were pretty unplayable... though I did make a sweet 54 yard TD pass. :D

It was crazy, cause i was right next to moss with the CB, so i go and press X to dive at you, and my CB just runs by without diving. Ugh...

Tennessee Titans at Greenbay Packers
Carolina Panthers at New York Giants*
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets**
Arizona Cardinals at Indianapolis Colts***

* Lag issues
** Set for Tuesday
*** Who knows if it will even happen this week. :p Why is CP banned, anyway? Oh, shit, nm...I think I see. I did a search...it's probably because 19 of his last 20 posts were PS3 trolls. Wow...:lol

I'm too damn anxious...I can't imagine what I'll do in my bye week.
 
Carolina Panthers at New York Giants* - Apparently may never happen! Hopefully the maintenance @ 2 am fixes some of the lag!
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets** - happening tomorrow
Arizona Cardinals at Indianapolis Colts*** - come on fellas!

only 3 games left ladies. then i give CB the thrashing of a lifetime as life will imitate art when the 49ers also destroy the eagles on sunday (altho im playing the panthers!)

Game servers going down in couple hours for maintenance. I hope this fixes some problems.
At this point, I'm thinking maybe it's more of a netcode issue than a server issue. :(

Patch is coming! Believe!

CP and I have been talking. I think we might be playing tonight at 10 our time. But don't worry guys the game will get done. Both of us were feeling pretty sick yesterday so we postponed our game till today or Wednesday.

This game is great. Been toying around wiith a couple of things and it's revealing more and more how some of the omissions from last gen to this game have screwed up the balances in the game. Thank God they didn't put in individual defensive hot routes or we'd all be dead on offense.

I'm kicking around another idea that is fatigue related, but the patch may fix it. I want to confirm it is an exploit before going into specifics, but on paper it seems a little overpowering.

Why the hell is Madden - Gaf is so impatient??? Im out of town and luckily got my game done before I left... Give them a break and let them get their games in at their own pace... before the deadline.... Geez....















on that note..


Hurry the f*** up...

But really if you put a 5 day deadline why would I be in a panic on day 3?


Im with you on this, because I know there will be times when I am traveling, I also like the wait... it makes the league more legit.. we have no more options coming up like we did in the NCAA league(with madden coming) and NBA 2k will not be an issue... so lets keep up what we are doing and enjoy the best league on the net...

NBA 2k7 not an issue?? That will be the league of the year (unless EA gives us the patch of our dreams and fixes the net code).

I dunno the 2k7 demo seems pretty gay. I was much more impressed with 2k6. The players look less like themselves, last year the players actually had their shots in the game now when you shoot everyone's shot looks like their 14 just throwing the ball up. You can't pump fake, the right stick no longer really tries to steal its more of a put a hand in their face. Shaq is faster than Dwade running down the court (yeah explain that one,) shaq also looks like the black version of MTV's Stan Lee production of spiderman and it doesn't feel like you have control anymore. It feels so predetermined. I will be interested to see NBA Live 07 this year because after 5-10 times through the 2k7 demo I still hate it. I figured it would grow on me but its not even close.
