Official Xbox 360 Madden '12 Online Franchise Thread: Dream Team Edition

- Start date
A little PSA for the guys from this league who still have NCAA. We're getting ready to head into Season 3 and still have one spot open. Most, if not all, of the game's major earlier issues have been fixed and we haven't had any problems since starting Season 2 a month ago.

Seems the XBL hacking for points scheme is on the rise. People are saying there's a security exploit in the EA servers that is allowing this to happen *shrug*
I just called and had my CC removed. Since I just renewed it for 1 month they had to "cancel the service" even though I already paid for the 1 month a few days ago. Non-refundable. Whatever. Didn't feel like arguing over $10 or however much it costs for a one month sub, i just wanted my damn CC off my account.

I know I've used my CC to purchase points/games in the past, but if it says this on my profile:
Automatic Renewal: Off
Expiry Date:1/14/2012
Payment Option:n/a
does that mean my CC info is not stored?
Nevermind, I found it, it was still stored despite saying the above.

GG CB. You suck a bag of dicks and got lucky as shit that Madden gift wrapped that game to you with a fucking bow on top. Plus your mom is ugly and has loose morals.
Foolish move on my part to not call a fair catch on the first punt of the game, I think I kind of lost track of where we were on the field and thought I had more room. Things didn't go so hot from there. I got behind too much after that and had to get away from what I wanted to do, ended up forcing things too much on offense. My CBs felt like they were playing a bit below what I'm used to expecting from them, but whatever. The injury cart was on the field like every other play, but no actually injury that lasted more than just the game, weird.
Christ, the completion rates for my last two games:
Kaepernick: 11 of 13, 84.6%
Vick: 13 of 15, 86.6%
That needs to end.
Am I doing it right?

The Playoff Picture is interesting in both conferences through 10 weeks.
NFC is a clusterfuck, the number of wins to make it is probably 9 wins.
NFC Playoff Locks
FMT (9-0)
BigAT (8-2)
DM (6-3)
CB (7-3) (Wildcard)
NFC in the hunt:
[key matchups are bolded]
Wildcard Teams will come from the NFC South or possibly the NFC North, McNeily may have the easier road between him and Bobby. Birdles, GCQ and DCX will be in a dogfight to get a spot and could cannibalize one another. 'Tross has SF 2x and Cincinnati, which puts him at 7 losses and could sneak him in as the other WC, depending on the carnage in the South.
Prediction:
1. FMT
2. BigAT
3. DM
4. McNeily
5. CB
6. Albatross
AFC
The AFC isn't a clusterfuck as much as it is a competitive nightmare. Good players will miss the playoffs in the AFC - there simply aren't enough good players in the NFC to make the same statement.
12-4 gets you in for sure, 11-5 may get you in. 10 wins probably misses the playoffs.
Playoff Locks
Rors (10-0)
AFC in the Hunt
The AFC playoff picture is murky. Smokey is in the driver's seat in the South, but has to get past DCX and Wellie. Wellie is in the pole position in the North (mainly because Ram's ending schedule is so tough - Cinnci again, FMT again, he has to win one of those games). AFC East will probably go to Mik as his road is slightly easier than Sanjo's. The most interesting game of the year may end up being week 17, Rors vs. Nightz - Rors could be in a position to shape the final wildcard slot by beating Nightz or letting Nightz beat him. Imagine Rors losing to Nightz to let Nightz/Someone Else and keep Crow on the outside looking in. Although, Crow has the easiest schedule the rest of the way.
Prediction
1. Rors
2. Smokey
3. Wellie
4. Mik
5. Smith
6. Crow

People are speculating it's FIFA. I guess you can buy FIFA Ultimate Team points and then sell them for real money. That doesn't make sense (well, it does) because in the thread in the gaming side there are dudes who have never touched FIFA getting their account hacked. One guy said he's never bought anything on XBL just GFWL. He said he bought Age of Empires when it was $1 and he still got hit.
Either way there's a security hole somewhere and MS isn't doing anything about it.

Good analysis. I agree 100% about the win totals needed to get in the playoffs in the AFC. 11+ wins or bust
. Every game counts over here, too many good players around. Even though injuries suck when they hit you, I do thing the frequency of them has some what mirrored the NFL. Maybe not the longevity of them, but they have added an extra dimension of suspense. I see wellie out with his top 3 players at skill positions and smh. Rough.goldlion054

GCQ, I'm heading on now!
DCX
DCX
Agreed. I basically need to win out to guarantee a spot. Can i do it? Sure. My confidence in closing games out is at an all time low. I feel like LeBron.LukeSmith said:
The silver lining is the knowledge that i can hang with all the top dogs and my losses have been by 5 or less points other than week 1. It's go time!

GG GCQ!
I hope you know that fake punt at the end was just for the the laughs.
I'm so garbage at this game hahaha. I can't throw a ball to save my life. Cam Newton absolutely shredded my Pass D. Johnathan Stewart ran wherever he wanted. When Scram hit that 60 yard run where he trucked one of my linebackers at the end of the game..... I just felt it was appropriate. What can ya do, though? And it bothers me that my receivers never fight for the ball. Calvin watches as the DB intercepts the pass haha
I will just try and spoil other peoples playoff chances now and ruin Rors perfect record!

I warned you guys in this thread to change all your info.
Too bad I was called a scaremonger!

Posted this in the NFL thread, but if you don't read it I guess last night Cutler told Martz to go F himself after a play:

We better have the option to cuss out offensive coordinators after a play gone bad in Madden 13!
Gameflow + Mic can make this happen!
