gg Rorschach. A little lag, but not too bad.
Edit: Good ? I just wrote down all the stats in excel sheet thing.

GG. I wrote down all the stats too.
...a little lag?
I was just gonna say I maybe didn't even want to make it into the playoffs seeing as I would have to play more east coast people. That was unbearable...I just wanted it to be over so bad. It's hard to be both boring and frustrating, but Madden pulls it off.

I guess that would explain your last series. I really wasn't experiencing any major lag. Sorry to hear that you were. Keep hoping to see a patch when i log on to madden, but still no sign of it
Patch is never coming...had to keep putting fargas in even though Jordan was doing good because I was afraid of the fatigue and there's NO way to know until your back fumbles ('cept portis..he can run all daysableholic said:

Guys -
I wanted to dispel the rumors that I've seen on various forums - Nothing has come back saying that the patch is being pushed to November or canceled. I will follow up ASAP with another update or any changes in info, but rumors about a cancellation or November date are false.
Thanks.
Got that from the forums over on ea's site. Maybe eventually it will come... someday

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
So whoever played as the Ravens for week 5? Did you take down stats? I dont have Fiftys password so I guess you have to speak to FMT or hopefully you saved them for fifty to put it when he gets back,though im not sure if he really cares since he didnt play the game himself.
CB,when you want your easy win against my Texans? Im free starting at 10 pm eastern tonight .
Ck,I can play you using the Ravens tomorrow night after my game against CB or we can do Wed anytime 9pm and on.

Just making sure, but only people who win are eligible for the weekly award right?
That actually raises an interesting question now that you mention it. Unrelated to LeagueDaddy awards....
What happens if during a kickoff the football strikes the goalpost and falls into the endzone? I didn't think about it at the time it happened during our league game (as I was too dumbfounded that you picked it up and then returned it), but....isn't the goalpost considered out of bounds (since it's outside the white line of the endzone? Or is it in bounds? Wondering if Madden is true to life in this respect or if it's something the programmers never considered?

Even though I grabbed it and scored, if I were going for a official ruling I'd have to vote out. Seems logical, although I've never seen it happen in the NFL I don't think??

Yea you had to see this KR, it was the damn-dest things I've ever seen. I got flagged for roughing the kicker on the XP and then LiveWire kicked it deep and somehow it bounced off the top of the goalpost and landed on the ground. I picked it up and ran it out and then one spin move later TD. I couldn't believe it. In real life I believe the goal post is out, but I don't know for sure. Hmm I wonder if I can pass it and hit the goalpost and then make it drop into my waiting WR's hands. The possibilites are endless

LiveWire said:I checked the official NFL rulebook, the goalposts are beyond the white endzone line, which is the out of bounds marker. I laughed out loud when I heard it go "DONG!" as it hit the goalpost.
Then I cried when Randle-El returned it.
Hmm... but is the crossbar extended out so that its still inbounds?? just asking. I on the other hand was very happy when El returned it.
And very sad at the run in OT
found a interesting link about the old goalpost. http://archive.profootballweekly.com/content/archives/features_1999/hof2_050400.asp
"The phrase "a game of inches" is usually associated with horseshoes, not professional football. However, that saying was ever so appropriate for the 1945 NFL championship game. In that game, played on Dec. 16, 1945, the Cleveland Rams battled the Washington Redskins for the league title.
Early in the game, Washington had the ball at its own five-yard line. With a gusting wind and biting-cold temperatures, Hall of Fame QB Sammy Baugh dropped back into his own endzone and attempted a pass. But his throw hit the crossbar, which at the time was situated on the goal line, and, according to the rules at the time, it resulted in a safety. The Rams had claimed a 2-0 lead.
In the second quarter, Frank Filchock replaced Baugh. He connected with halfback Steve Bagarus on a 38-yard passing play to give the Redskins the lead.
Just before halftime, the Rams regained the advantage when rookie and future Hall of Fame QB Bob Waterfield threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Jim Benton. Then, once again, the goal post came into play. Waterfield's extra-point attempt was partially blocked, and the ball struck the crossbar and teetered on the post until dropping over to give the Rams a 9-7 lead."

OMG the update does exist, in fact my game just updated right now. No idea what it fixes or entails, but its out.
Hey guys, my buddy moved around the 360 while we were setting up for todays game with Maestro Ryan, and I think it got those circular scratches that were being talked about forever in the old 360 threads. I just wanted to know, did anyone figure out if Resurfacing would fix the disk, or you could send to the manufacturer or some such.

Just so we know, I think Madden has it correct rule wise. The crossbar if you look in the game extends out past the back white line. so its tech still in the endzone and thus still in play. Thats why when you hit the actual goalpost that says your team name its out.

Has anyone really tested it out,a full games worth?
I played for a couple of mins and Lundy's bar went from all green down two bars to yellow after about 5 runs in a row and then he fumbled.....so real!

I'm curious to see if the update actually put a tourniquet on the horrendous net code and buggy stat tracker in the play calling menu moreso than the fatigue issue. Not to suggest that fatigue is not important though!!
