Is the rain causing artificial lag?

No, it's all in your head, the rain adds so much awesome to the game!!

Seriously though, with the frequency of the rain games, can we please turn weather off already? Geez

Clearly I'm not TE cheesing enough. This can be fixed. Also surprised Romo Jr aka Noodle Arm is able to get the ball to AJ at all.

I think it's a case by case basis really, if you're running the same play over and over like some people on that list, then yea it's cheese. But if you run a variety of plays and people can't stop or cover your TE, why not throw it to them? I've noticed over the years a lot of people leave TEs uncovered, no clue why.

Weather elements = Banned
Touching the analog stick while punting = Banneded
TE plays = Bannededed
Undefeated teams = Super Bannioned

We don't let our youth score too many touchdowns in a game, clearly we need to level the playing field for us lower echelon teams!

Oh shut the fuck up, Sanjuro. By line drive punts they mean punts that are aimed directly at the return man. If you can't see the bull shit in that, then you're fucking dense.

They used to have gamecast, like they do for NFL.com. you can actually keep track of games etc.

Idk what happened to it though.

Don't forget they had radio broadcast too! Play by play over EA Radio.

i may turn the weather off. more and more people complaining about lag with weather :/

More and more? I've only seen one person asking about it. As much as I've hated a full month of rain, there was no lag in any of the games.

Grow up. I read a bunch of posts about people bitching about it. Either ban use of the punt stick or shut the fuck up. Simple as that.

Only thing that I wasn't being sarcastic about was the weather. All I know is in a few games this season I couldn't call a fair catch due to lag of some sort. I don't know if the weather is directly related. If it is that is a major problem.

Nice. Can I replay the 4 rain games I had? :)

rain aint helping you with those horrible picks you throw!

and i think there are issues with the punt game no matter what you do. for instance that time my guy just moved out of the way and the ball goes back 20 yards

The innovator of the 2 TE cheese formation, with a little Pey Pey sneak added in!

I've said it a billion times, if the rain effects only one or two of our games performance, then it's reason enough to turn it off. It could be tied to certain stadiums and be a framerate issue.

Can some1 explain the punt cheese? I rarely do a line drive and if I do it's definitely going out of bounds, my out of bounds punts are low sometimes but I wouldn't call them line drives. It's just a line drive punt so the return man doesn't have time to fair catch or is it some glitch so you actually can't call a fair catch? I've never even seen this and my name is still being thrown in the mix!

6 CST/ 7 EST sounds good daw

Still salty, even in the wake of Wellie's loss which should've revitalized your season, and your hopes for a Wildcard exit!

Like I told you on IM, you will never be that close to beating me again. You had a career game with Rothlisberger - you done!

I woulda replayed that game in a heartbeat! Big Ben has thrown 3 or more picks in half of his games this year, I like those odds, run it back!

I think a lot of us play S or a lb position that may be assigned to a te which leaves blown coverages.

I did my best trying to stop Luke's TE attack, I shadowed, I doubled, I set up zones in the TE side but it was impossible to stop. You have two wide, fast capable WRs and two TEs in a wing format with Addai. It's like running a modified 4wr set :(

I forced two ints but still lost. A fumble bounced his way and he stop me one drive and forced me to punt. Mistake free and score every drive is the only way.

I will say this, he model for passing will be copied. Its just about perfect. Of course you need two Fast TEs that are decent recievers.

Still, I think N1ightz has a much more valid beef with me. It was one of those games I was just waiting for rage of some sort. I'll never have a comeback like that again.

I said possibilities!

It's a very very high chance he's gone, so I guess that means he's gotta eat before he bows out.

What's the stance on hurry up offense outside of being down x amount of points? It's the closest thing to a no huddle. Madden Overlords?

I run hurry up in situations where I have the defense I want on the field.

I don't mind it really.

I will do it on some plays to try and catch the defense off guard. Result - I throw a pick.
I will do it towards the end of the first half or game. Result - I throw a pick.
If I'm getting raped I will do it so I can mount a tremendous comeback. Result - I throw many picks.


Overall, I think I'm pretty successful at it!

So an entire drive. Save one or two plays for rest/subs? It happens in the National Football League from time to time...

It always seems like Smokey is trying to find/use a loophole. I'm sure he's not, but he asks questions the way Vumpler did
