What game speed will we be using in the league?

We don't even have the option, dude. It's default settings for pretty much everything except difficulty and time. We can't even turn off GameFlow. It's nice that you've still got hope, though. It might keep you sane this upcoming season.

 

[AstroLad]

does the salary cap get adjusted each year?

 

[Rorschach]

and the niners only have 1 DT, and he's one of the best in the league! but you are right, that is how i will lose this year: 3 wide + and outside running to haralsons side because he's a fucking loser

PWilly is the eraser :|

And I thought you ran some 4 down linemen, but I guess I was seeing things...

campbell only had 3 incompletions!

Really? Guess all my completions were long. Oh, and Alexis had zero incompletions in the first quarter. :|

Oh EA, you suck. What's the default? Normal?

Yes.

Let's hold another tourney so I can choose a different team!

 

[AstroLad]

is the season really not starting for like another 2-3 weeks? :/

 

[Rorschach]

Yes. Tournament tyme! Lez do eet!

patience my friend! only 2 more weeks! we'll have up-to-date rosters.... i need anthony dixon to go from a 67 to a 71 as preseason has dictated!

p.s. someone setup a tournament, i fucked it up last time so i'm finished setting them up! why can't motherfucking EA add a simple tourney mode for online? jesus christ fucking lazy assholes dude

 

[Rorschach]

Wellington and Mog: please sign in to the FF league.

 

[DMczaf]

I say we do a 2v2 tourney

 

[CB3]

No one cares about your Hipster league!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Wellington and Mog: please sign in to the FF league.

did i already sign into the league?

p.s. CB i thought you said we were going to wait on the draft! im mad unless everyone else showed up, in which case i can't complain

I actually forgot to change the time when you went to your PuppyBrother concert so it auto drafted. The Rors came in with his league where only the cool people were invited

 

[Rorschach]

We can't even get one 3v3 game going these days. I don't think it'll work.

It's hilarious that I thought the last tourney was gonna be 3v3. I made a banner for it after asking FMT and then it turned out it was 1v1 so it made no sense!

did i already sign into the league?

Yeah, you did. You're gonna hate your name by week 8, though.

Uh then create a new one. Maybe ill do one..... Gaf madden all stars!

 

[CB3]

You can if you want. We can move it to that. The new busy CB is time pressed for these kinda things trying to get everyone signed in and all that. [smokey] 40 hours! [/smokey]

 

[Ramirez]

We're not going to wait for the patch that fixes the amount of broken tackles and all that? The game is a POS at the moment, I'm not even sure a patch will help it. Having to deal with Gameflow in OF is going to suck balls. God I hate Tiburon.

 

[Sanjuro]

Are you telling me my online franchise gameflow fantasies are going to come tru!? YES!

 

[daw840]

I am totally setting up my gameplan if that's the case.

 

[AstroLad]

It's funny, EA really is the worst about giving people choice. And I'm not even talking about sliders or other items directly related to gameplay. For example, in FIFA World Cup they designed a brand-new penalty-kick system. Have a whole video tutorial for it and everything. And it's actually pretty good too. Yet in online games there is no choice to have the games go to penalties. Actually there's no choice for OT at all. Tied at the end of 90m? Game over.

I am fine with scrims but I'm also looking forward to some "meaningful" games.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I would prefer we wait until the patch that is coming in late September is in place, but I understand us proceeding in 2 weeks.

Considering how FUBAR the injuries are in this game, I would be fine with us playing an Injuries OFF league. At the rate injuries (serious injuries, no less) occur in scrims, we will all be scrapping with thrird string by the end of the first season.

Didn't that seem to happen last year too in scrims? I know it definitely happened in simmed games.

It surely happened in my league game against Somnia. DAMMIT!

 

[Sanjuro]

I have no idea how the injuries work in this game. All I know is we disabled them in online season in MLB the Show. I like the aspect of injuries, but not when,

A. Your entire team gets wrecked.
B. The game doesn't properly heal them in the correct manner of weeks/games.
C. Some teams have elite backup QBs like Michael Vick.

Spoiler

LOL!

 

[Nightz]

Tourney #2. Sign up!

 

[Rorschach]

About gameflow: you don't HAVE TO use it, but you can't turn it off. So, before every play you have to press x to bring up the playbook. The annoyance really comes in when you're trying to skip cutscenes and you end up picking gameflow with A.

C. Some teams have elite backup QBs like Michael Vick.

Spoiler

LOL!

...but that's exactly the whole point of depth.

 

[AstroLad]

I think I was in the upper echelon (if not top tier) of getting screwed by injuries. Lost Wells, Fitz, Breaston, and Suggs for significant chunks of time. But I still like injuries being in unless it's just completely broken.

Yea, I remember in the demo I picked GF so many times just trying to skip the 1000 cut scenes between each play. It's gonna suck, no way around it really.

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh, I know. Vick is hardly a CFL QB at this point though.

Is there a way to speed up the games by eliminating cutscenes? That would reduce hitting A accidentally.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I have noticed that when there is an injury on the field, the play clock starts well before the play selection screen pops up. I have been hit with DoG penalties several times on plays immediately after injuries. Anyone else notice this?

I hadn't noticed that. I usually just skip the injury and go to the play selection screen. The injury animations go on in the background while I pick my play.

Nope. Franchise has no tweaking to speak of outside of like 4 options: injuries on/off, quarter length, difficulty, clock runoff. It's highly un-customizable.

A little OT but has anyone played this League of Legends game for PC? It's pretty sweet--all the more sweet that it's free to play.

I've only posted about it like a dozen fucking times.

My summoner name is bluemax, feel free to add me but be forewarned I won't play with you until you hit summoner level 10 unless the game is a 6man or 10 man all GAF game. Too many bad experiences playing with people who just started because of how match making works.

k, my summoner name is Ahzmandius. Yea, I don't expect to play many multi games until I've played a lot more against bots. Can you level up to 10 or higher playing against bots, or do you need to play vs. humans?

Also, is the full retail worth getting?

Don't get your hopes up for Madden 12!

@ian_cummings: I played a really early build of Madden NFL 12 today. It was eerily similar to Madden NFL 11.

did he think that would be a good thing to say about 12 or what?!

 

[Matrix]

This game sucks my left nut and some of my right as well.

 

[CB3]

anyone wanna play

 

[Matrix]

I'll play you whore, send me a challenge.

 

[Matrix]

I for the life of me can't get these controls down :lol every game I play the score is insane.

gg cb.

 

[CB3]

The 2010 Texans. Where no one is ever brought down on the first tackle!

You should have seen the game I played with Lonestar. Both Lions and Saints players couldn't be brought down.

This game just feels fucked up to me.

 

[CB3]

I can live with Owen Daniels and Andre breaking tackles. But when Generic White WR starts throwing my guys off thats a little suspect

Wait, you're saying Ben Roethlisberger can't block Shaun Rogers on a running play? I thought that's what goes down every Sunday at Heinz Field. No?

 

[Birdman02]

GG Matrix. Reggie Bush finally had a big game for me!

I think I've missed an XP in 4 straight games now, and it almost came back to bite me after you recovered the onside kick.
