I don't have a first round pick, DCX. It belongs to the Broncos.
And random gameplay is not the same as the league gameplay. I can't drop back 20 yards and/or roll out every play and throw jet pack bombs to DHB.

The online roster is not what the franchise roster was. If I hadn't revamped my offensive line and WRs, I'd be dead in the water. It would even be hard to run the ball. The defense is ok, but it doesn't make the team top 5, let alone "easy."Smokey said:

You made some moves to help but they have always had players with key videogame attributes. One of those being damn trackstars on the field. I'm not saying their god tier but put them in the right positions which you obviously do, and they become hard to stop. That applies to any team I guess but my point being raiders aren't shit in this game. The attributes of your players translates very well to Madden.Rorschach said:lol Prince Justice...

TO for example. Dude is old in rl, but in Madden he's a beast especially with recievers this year being able to simply out jump corners for the ball and use their size. He wasn't on your team to begin with and you got him when nobody else was smart enough to do so.
I was broke so I couldn't do shit lol
But that's my point. TO was an aqcuisition along with 3/5 offensive lineman, OLB, the other starting WR, and a starting CB. The OF starting roster is shit for the Raiders. I acquired 8 starters this season. I like my current one outside of QB and TE.Smokey said:
If this shit was all about speed, I would have kept DHB or would start Ford over TO who is not very fast. TO wasn't that shitty his last year. He's just a douchebag and got injured in the off-season. His performance last year merits his attributes.
I love guys say it's all about speed, but no one put their money where their mouth was when DHB was on the market. I think only the Chefs bid.
The only "track stars" that Al Davis took who are still starting on my team are McFadden and Routt. But then again, Chris Johnson had a better 40 and Davis still took McFadden. Thank you, Al!

These are the only exceptions. I will trade any other player on the roster. I am open to any and all offers. Looking for DB! Willing to trade up in the draft! (looking at you Eznark).
Come at me fellas!

NFC Wild Card Picture:
Cardinals (8-6) GB: 0
Saints (7-7) GB: 1.0
Panthers (7-7) GB: 1.0
Bears (6-8): GB: 2.0
Lions (6-9) GB: 2.5
So, in short, Cards are the favorite for the Wild Card. If the Cards lose out, and the Saints & Panthers both win in Week 16, then the Saints & Panthers would be playing for the final Wild Card spot in Week 17. If the Cardinals win a game, they've clinched assuming EA has their tie breakers together.
Cardinals (8-6) GB: 0
Saints (7-7) GB: 1.0
Panthers (7-7) GB: 1.0
Bears (6-8): GB: 2.0
- The Lions are out of the playoffs with their last loss.
- The Vikings clinched their division with their last win.
- For the Bears to get in, they would need to out; the Cardinals to lose out; and then hope that the Saints to lose out, and the Panthers to lose in Week 16. If the Panthers win in week 16, then the Bears cannot make the playoffs (they hold the tie breaker against the Panthers, so if they both went 8-8, the Bear would make it in).
- For the Panthers to get in, they need to win out (beating the Saints), and have the Cardinals lose out, because the Cards hold a versus tie breaker with the Panthers, so if both finished 9-7, the Cardinals would have the edge.
- For the Saints to get in, they would need to win out (beating the Panthers) and the Cardinals to lose out.
- For the Cards, if the Cards win one game then they've clinched the last Wild Card spot over the Panthers, effectively eliminating the Panthers from the playoffs with one win (because the Cards hold the versus tie breaker over the Panthers). The Saints are slightly more complex -- if the Saints win out, and the Cards go 1 and 1, then both the Cards and Saints will have identical 9-7 records; they will also have identical 6-6 NFC records, which would then push to common games; Cards are 1 - 0 against the Panthers, Saints are 1 - 1 against the Panthers (assuming a win); We both went 1.00 against the Rams (me, 2 - 0, Saints 1 - 0), so Cards still have a 3 - 0 to 2 - 1; We both lost to the Vikings so, Cards 3 - 1; Saints 2 - 2. But Against the Giants, I lost, so we're both 3 - 2 against common opponents.
We're tied for Conference.
In division, I'd be 3 & 3 (Assuming I beat Seattle to go 9-7). Assuming Saints Win out, they'd be 3 - 3 in division as well.
TO THE 5th tie breaker: Strength of Victory (I assume this means point differential in wins).
Cardinals Strength of Victory: 94 points
Saints Strength of Victory: 53 points.
If my calculations are correct, if the Cardinals and Saints both go 9 - 7, The Cardinals would have the tie breaker on the Strength of Victory tie breaker, unless the Saints win their final two games by a combined 42 points.
So, in short, Cards are the favorite for the Wild Card. If the Cards lose out, and the Saints & Panthers both win in Week 16, then the Saints & Panthers would be playing for the final Wild Card spot in Week 17. If the Cardinals win a game, they've clinched assuming EA has their tie breakers together.

Boar jackson wtf lololol i dont remember this
Wellington
BAAAALLLINNN'
What I don't get about this whole thing is that there were only 2 players that actually did better after going through a draft or two - Crow and Sable. Everyone else pretty much stayed at the status quo. Luke got Mack but was already near the top of the league, same with FMT and Jack English, and Rors with his guy (forgot his name), LJ got Alain Jackson but let's face it, he still would have dominated all of us anyway (Except Rors!). This clamoring for the fake players is a little crazy. Not to play him but Bluemax had two top tier fictional guys in LeRon James and Ace Garrison and didn't do much better. Same with most of the rest of the league.
Eh, either way, if anyone wants my guys or my draft picks just make an offer. Not married to my team in the least, so I don't care.
