Brandon Jacobs is a Niner fan!? :(

Something I appreciate about the play art at the LOS (tho I still hate the play art mechanic because it fucks up your view) is unlike last year it shows who your blockers are supposed to pick up on running plays. It's a cool little touch IMO. It's especially helpful if you see a guy will probably blitz and the man scheduled to get him is a pulling guard, allows you to make the adjustment.

Somnia and I are scheduled for Friday, so no rush on the 'vancin.

I've seen some messed up stuff in Madden before, and this is certainly up there.

I have 3 players with a decent pursuit angle on Felix Jones on this kickoff, in addition to the player directly in front of him. He spin moves the player in front of him, that I get, but then the 3 other players in pursuit do this synchronized conga-line bullshit where they stop for absolutely no reason and completely give up on the play.
We have had 30 kick-off returns already this season. We are averaging almost 4 a week.

Dammit my SC2 trial ran out. Does anyone have a key they are willing to give me? :D

Anyone getting MoH or Black Ops? Not interested in either. Too many of the same type of games has burned me out.

Like I said yesterday, if anyone wants to play some Madden tonight let's play! I need to stay fresh for the Somnia/CB/Sable gauntlet I'm about to run. I owe you a beatdown Crow!

I am getting Black Ops. My gaming time is limited so a multiplayer shooter is right up my alley. Reach is filling that niche for me right now, but all the game modes of Black Ops are attractive to me.


Daw, sorry about last night in Reach. I had to go pretty abruptly and I was on the phone, so no headset.

Wellie,

I may have a SC2 trial or two to give you later.

As for other games, I have yet to play Halo Reach online (versus or co-op), I am currently working on Castlevania, I am playing FIFA and NHL online, and I have NBA 2K11 on PC that I am tinkering with (unsuccessfully). I am planning on getting Fable 3 at the end of this month and I am considering Black Ops and Vanquish for future purchases. But you and I can play SC2 (I suck), L4D1 or 2, Reach, scrim in Madden; etc.
 
I'll get MoH and Black Ops eventually (probably for PC) but I just picked up Mafia 2, Enslaved, and Castlevania yesterday plus I'm getting Rock Band 3 in 2 weeks.

Ok, NOBODY play Somnia before our league game, I need the win! Shit's about to get real in the NFC East, four of my next six games are divisional.

I am turrrrible at SC2 but I am learning it. Going with terrans first to get the game down then I will expand. My brother has been showing me the ropes. I never played the first SC, very different than the RTS games I am used to. I need to get my ass back into Halo as well.

Find a good build order that you like and then practice the heck out of it. You'd be shocked at what a difference it makes to just have the basics down early on.

I had 2 in one game with Thomas but the game reset. He would've had 4 KR TD's and 2 punt returns.

When I play one of you assholes that is going to slaughter me, please let me return two kicks for touchdowns. I'd like that achievement.

Man I've been neglecting SC2 and I feel bad. The past couple of weeks I"ve been juggling...

Civ V
DCUO
Madden
NCAA
FIFA
2K11
Reach

Madden's definitely at the bottom of the priority list. I'm waiting for the offseason stuff because that's where all the fun is. :lol

Agreed on the offseason comment. I figured out your list.

I could use a little break from studying for midterms, so send me a IM. I haven't played since my dismal performance against FMT and I don't want to suffer a upset against the lowly Chiefs. :3

jawesome what will your new rig be?

I am getting good at this SC2 thing. Just stomped some AIs. I may be ready to get owned by humans soon!

Cool, I'm running something pretty similar. i5 750 with a GTX 460. Runs SC2 and Civ V like a champ.

I said goddamn.

Intel Core 2 duo e6600 (not overclocked) 2 gb ram and a 4670 :( Aside from the video card I built this thing in '07 - it's held up well.

Not building a new system next time. Going with a laptop so I can just bitch about Madden on the couch.

What the fuck?!?! I am leading 38-21 with less then 2 minutes to go and "the connection to your peer is lost" right after an incomplete pass.

I am trading this garbage in. I will look for you guys in other games.

If I wanted to play against the All-Madden CPU, I wouldn't need this league, but, alas, I love playing humans.

hey look, another trade in the NFL. How disgustingly unrealistic it would have been to make a trade in week 2.
:lol :lol So bitter, i love it :)

I will say, Marshall and White would have me closer to a 6-2 record than 3-5

Disappointed, not bitter. Seems like most everyone is shitting on the league in general, I'm just joining in!
Maybe because it was mid season. Maybe in the off-season it will get approved.
