Damn you CB3. Fantastic game but it had its lame moments. For example: the first quarter when I threw a pick and somehow AP forced a fumble immediately after. Then in the second quarter (this is legit though) when I get the ball after a punt in my 10. Right when I pick the play I'm saying to myself "Oh god I'm going to fumble it"... Pitch right and what do you know, AP fumbles it and you get 7. Then the third quarter my run game was just shut down completely. One of my biggest blunders was ~3-4 minutes in the 4th quarter when it was 3rd and 10 around my 30. I did a play that I usually run in desperate situations that has a high chance of working... I saw my main target wide open yet I hit the completely wrong button and the pass soars into coverage where its swapped down... I completely folded in the second half.
And another thing, nothing against you but fuck scrambling. I had two guys on QB Spy after a few scrambles in the first half yet that still didn't work. He just outruns my LBs everytime for 40 freaking yards. That definitely brought you back in the game because I didn't see a man wide open on a few of those attempts. Shits legit though so I can't complain, I'm just mad (he mad). How many rushing yards did Young have, 60+? I wish there was something better for that shit (there probably is I just don't know it) because my passing D was on point, except for that obnoxious lack of D with the last pass play on the drive that put you ahead - the pass to DJax for like 70 yards. My corners just failed to play deep this season even though I had everyone playing back. I mean the stats on a page or two before this... I was second worst in passing yards allowed.
Oh well, it would've been nice to have gotten a little closer at "upsetting" some people in the playoffs but I guess I'll have to do that next season. Good shit and good luck.
I mean what a choke by me. 17-0 for most of the first half... then a 13 point lead going into the second half WITH the ball... Shit just fell apart completely. Sucks that had to happen. I was feeling so good after that first half.

Yeah he had alot of rushing yards. I really wanted to chill in the pocket but you were bringing the loaded fronts to dare me to pass. And VY cant really pass in tight windows. I was making like 2 reads and out the door towards the end because the pressure was closing in.
We definitely both caught some breaks though. exciting nonetheless. I told Luke on AIM prior that regardless of what happens, using VY in the playoffs is gonna be a hell of a ride

I wasn't rooting for anyone in my posts...CB3 said:By The Way:
Ram
Rors
Crow
...but I was rooting for McNei1y on the friends list. I like power shifts in this league. It keeps it fresh. I also like underdogs, but that said, obviously I picked you to win. But I didn't pick you to get past FMT!
CB3 said:
True. I'm the same way with the run game. Once I get stopped 4-6 plays I completely throw out the run game. I run a run play here and there for the rest of it. Dammit... If only I didn't get stopped running on the goal line that one time or the other 3rd and short drives. Damn you! I would easily do a screen play when I see the line is crowded but my team cannot complete a screen play. I think I've ran ~8-10 attempts this season and none were completed. Ponder was either sacked or hit when he threw the ball... One of my favorite attempts (occurred more than once actually) was when I threw the ball in AP's direction and he either wasn't looking or it hits him in the helmet/shoulder pads. smh

He isn't that bad, but it's definitely a drop off going from Eli to ADalt. The ball sails on me way more than I want it to.
Edit:
Wow I ended up right in the middle of the pack regarding ints thrown anyway. Tied for 16th.
They definitely cost me a few games. Now that I have the Red Rifle under control, I'll try and keep the total to 18 or under, what an accomplishment that would be. Threw 14 ints in my last 10 games (but 15 TDs!).

The real stat is INT% (or INTs per drop back if I was going to include sacks and scrambles), I should look at that for everyone.

Only question to that would be if you count every rushing attempt as a scramble (you shouldn't). A lot of those would be kneels to end a game.LukeSmith said:
Wellington said:
Yeah thanks to our lack of really good stats (it's just data points EA, wtf), it'd still be flawed. The closest way to look at it would be to say, assign some delta where "kneels" happen and say 2 in those situations where a team was up 14 to end the game and there wasn't a late score from the other team.
for scramble rate: I think VY attempted 22 passes and ran 8 times against McNeily, so the simplest version would be 8/30 (a scramble rate of 27%), but then if two of those were sacks, those come off the books and it'd go down to 6/30 (20%), and if CB was winning the game late (we know he wasn't) kneels could get pulled off too.
I think when looking at someone like FMT, I bet his scramble rate is probably higher than people going into a game expect it. It's definitely not going to be perfect, but it's not my fault!

I only did attempts and sacks, I threw an int 7.2% of the time I passed. Disgusting.
For comparison, Luke is throwing ints at 3.6% of his drop backs.

Wellington said:
Yeah with sacks my INT rate was 3.6%
For additional context that'd be the 3rd worst INT% of real life Peyton's career.
But also career highs in completion % (73.5% NFL record), yards per attempt, TDs and yardage (5113, NFL record) and Rating (122.7, NFL record). I'm enjoying the final Madden game with Pey

FMT/Wellie,
Dunno if you guys still need this but here is an updated version of the stats. Sorry it took me so long to look into it. Just looked at it today and it only took a couple mins to fix things (although I didn't validate everything). Also don't think it'll work for PS3 leagues but whatever.

pm me if theres any issues. I didn't make any major tweaks so it pretty much works like 11's script did.

Let's take a look at the 2012 Pro Bowl in a different way
The AFC East has 9 representatives with 4 starting.
The AFC North should be ashamed of themselves with just 5 representatives and 2 starting.
The AFC South has 11 representatives with 5 starting.
The AFC West shows why it's the toughest division with 11 representatives and 6 starting.
The NFC East has 9 representatives with 6 starting.
The NFC North has 6 representatives with 3 starting.
The NFC South has 10 representatives with 4 starting.
The NFC West has 9 representatives with 2 starting.
*Starters are bolded

I'll get it next year. ;(Rorschach said:When did this happen? When you didn't get the sack record?
[edit] Looking through stats... *note to self: cover ball when around Woodley*
Just saying I don't force the ball to any one receiver, and I don't force runs with any one back. Dunlap was just a freak of Madden nature that I was lucky to get.
