Dang, I only said "GG" and not congrats. I was so pissed that day... so pissed!

Anyway, congratulations, AT! That was a great run. Come to think of it, I shouldn't have won anyway (and the Lord made sure of that!). The AFC was severely gimped.

One thing, though, and I hope Tiburon is reading this...

Jumping a route is not warping through a player you're trailing by 4 yards. Jumping a route is a calculated risk when you're playing with a cushion, NOT the trail technique. That kind of thing doesn't exist in real life unless you have one of those stage canes they used to use in vaudeville to pull crappy acts off the stage. And wtf is with Al anyway? He's a fucking God. Jumping routes, forcing multiple fumbles, stuffing the run... jebus.

Anyway, I didn't even push the button for that player lol. And I also didn't call the timeout during a kickoff... why would that even be an option? But alas! It wasn't meant to be.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out that timeout as well. You came out in a normal kicking formation too, so I wasn't sure what the heck you were trying to change. I guess they have it as an option for when your opponent starts out the game with an onside kick (see: online ranked matches).

I think the turning point in improvement for my defense actually came when I lost Charles Woodson for the year, if that makes any sense. It forced me to get away from press coverage, which I did frequently up until that point, and allow my CBs to sit back and make plays on their own. I've more or less determined that the PRS rating is absolutely worthless if you don't have the speed to back it up. Basically all it does is determine how many more tenths of a second it will be until the 95 SPD receiver gets 10 yards of separation on you. Al Harris has a 97 PRS rating, but he would get absolutely torched in man, press coverage (see also: Nate Clements, Antoine Winfield). He was completely unusable in those situations. Playing off in coverage though, his other good attributes (AWR, play recognition, man coverage) actually seemed to make a difference.

Yeah, that's probably the reason. I didn't call it, though. lol I said to myself "this is probably gonna cost me later on, isn't it?"

Don't normally do trade-ins, and it's the first time I've ever traded in Madden, but I got 30 bucks for it at GS. I hate GS, but that's a pretty good deal compared to Amazon's 14 bux. I got 25 for the trade and an extra 5 bucks for putting it towards MAHVEL.

That was a fluke. You should have gotten HVB'd to death... never again! You better just retire from MvC2 so you can go out on a high.

It was the same way with SFIV. I beat him a few times and then mysteriously I got a "connection with your opponent was lost" message.

Can't wait for MVC3.

Pfft. My Guile will dominate your off-the-shelf vanilla Shoto, CB. Sadly, I can't play now as I gotta get groceries and make preparations for tomorrow's epic SuperBowl party. But I will check back later.

I feel like you could change a few words around in that sentence and it would be your generic pre-game madden trash talk before i would go on to destroy you like usual

1 guy playing by himself isn't what I'd call "alive and well." Why don't you just play offline franchise? It has many more features.

It's when they take a thread from the community dungeon to the main gaming section to get it some views.

I read this controller is similar to a Neo Geo import controller you can buy and work great for fighters:

Dat Marvel decals covering the controller is gross though.

For 10 more dollars you can get a cheap stick with customizable parts. I doubt it's as good as the NGP dpad. Get it for PS3, boob!

Looks like the dc stick... dunno about this. Flat buttons are nice, though.

What is this micro switch? I read this controller has it just like the Neo Geo one and that is what people like about it for fighters.

I'm already honor bound to kick FMTs ass the first week this game is out, so I have to get it on 360. Plus my PS3 wireless is garbage and the only game i'll hook up wired for is MLB The Show!

Another link for it:

I wouldn't mind having something I can sit down and use versus those hulking tourney style sticks.

like i said before, madden 11 online franchise wasn't as successful because we had already played 6 seasons of this. they added absolutely nothing (aside from correct tie breakers.... which they didn't even get right as evidenced by season 2, but they mostly got it right).

this is why i told dm that if madden '12 has this same online franchise i won't be buying it. dm thinks im bullshitting but you can save this post:

if madden '12 has the same online franchise it had this year (and last year) and i still buy it, i will also buy every regular league member a copy of madden '12

Guys, not sure if anyone's thought about this, but, do you realize that San Francisco could have drafted Aaron Rodgers instead of Alex Smith. Boy, they sure did mess that one up.

it seems to just be alphabetical still, maybe it actually works between divisional teams.
