I hope they have a "spiritual" rating on the scale from 0 - tebow.

I think it is 88 but a little more would make it easier to throw it deep, since that's where his accuracy is the highest.
A higher rating should make everyone on their team play better if the game is close.
Get drunk after you beat me, a celebration if you will!
He should just be rated 53 for those quarters

I wish I was able to play DOTA.
Yeah not as much as I used to though.
Don't get me wrong, DotA2 isn't bad per se. I just don't agree with Valve's decision to intentionally use all the broken shit from the original DotA just to appease the DotA crowd.
I've said this before, but DotA2 is the least Valve game Valve has ever put their name on.
Right now it is really only fun to play with friends and voice chat. And even then the lack of a surrender option is just mind bogglingly frustrating.

My two troll responses:
Didn't they steal the IP anyway?
-or-
Of course it's the least Valve-like game. It's not an FPS.
Well yes there is that. And of course MOBA/DOTA games are inherently the most assholish genre to play.
Visually the game is high quality, easily the best looking game in the genre, but there's so much about it that is just intentionally obtuse that I can't really recommend it to people who have never played a game of this type.
I want to like DotA 2 but Valve makes it so hard
That said if anyone has it and wants to play, I'm totally down. My steam name is bluemaxmb. I suck ass at carries but I play a decent Tide Hunter and Earth Shaker.

I have it and will add you tonight, we usually have a big group of folks on and are often looking for more (mostly play with two full teams of folks we know).
Also, I am 100% advancing the league at 9 pacific unless it's done earlier.
Ryan Kaiser first 4 games: 5 TDs 7 INTs
Ryan Kaiser second 4 games: 9TDs 5 INTs
Improvements!
And his worst game in that second set was against the Redskins where I had 1 TD and 3 INTs but that was like the fourth game I'd played against Livewire that night.
So over my last 3 games I'm at 8 TDs and 2 INTs, that's probably my best stretch in Madden ever.
Tom Brady watch!
Brady currently has 30 INTs in 8 games. He throws 1 INT every 7 pass attempts. He averages about 26.5 pass attempts per game putting him at just under 4 INTs per game. At his current pace he will shatter Dane Morrow's record against the Giants, probably somewhere in the second quarter.

GG Story.
Horrible passing day, felt two of the picks were Tib's typical moon boots stuff. LB not aware of anything, but suddenly the ball is in the general area and he turns on his jetpack. Hate that shit, but they were all too close for comfort, I guess.
I had no idea what was going on, but on two passes you would throw to a WR that is matched against Sheldon Brown, and Sheldon, despite being in man coverage, is nowhere near him and the intended route. So infuriating, mostly because he's my #2 rated CB. -______-

i would have the tiebreaker over the eagles for the WC
Ah right. Well I haven't worked out all the details yet. Too early to get too hung over tie breaks and what not.

Anyone have some good madden "exercises"? I need to get in the lab and up my game asap. I feel like I'm regressing week to week and im at the point where ima start breaking controllers outta sheer frustration :/
Man.....either you channeled Rors essence or Madden just had it out for me. A couple of those INTs were complete shit. Crazy jumping LBs intercepting a ball that's targeted 20 yards behind them to a wide open receiver.
GG though.
Sounds like my game. :\
Luke won't be home til 9 EST.

I was shocked when the lb jumped to get it. I thought you had a sure td.
Gah, was hoping we could play today so I could upgrade my phone after work tomorrow. Alright then, tomorrow it is.
Go into practice mode with your chosen playbook and the multiple D book on the defense and look at different plays you like to run against each of the main coverages (1, 2, 3, 0 and zone blitzes) across different personnel packages (4-6, 3-4, 4-3, nickel, nickel over, dime, and 2-4-5 are the most common).
Once you can identify the tells for a given coverage (eventually you'll know cover 2 within the first second or so of snapping the ball, then you can make sure you start calling plays that attack cover 2. And eventually you'll find plays and routes (or hot routes) where you'll know who is open against a given coverage.
Total bullshit example: You'll call a play with a streak and a post on the left side and know against what coverage the Streak is open and what coverage the post is open. Then you'll start to put a dig underneath it pre-snap and know against what coverage that will be open. Now maybe you have a play that has a man beater as a route, a cover 2 beater as a route and a cover 3 beater as a route. So, once you make the initial read on the coverage ("Oh, it's cover 2, that's the streak to the outside") then you make the right throw
Once you can recognize the coverage, then you'll be able to find the routes to beat it. Then, that's where guys like Wellie have the most fun, because they will start giving you coverages that still cover similar parts of the field but with different personnel (again, totally fake example) but someone could call cover 2, buzz the end into a flat zone and blitz the corner from that side. You've just swapped the DE and the corner's responsibilities and are now bringing a corner blitz in Cover 2, and 4 guys are still rushing and 7 guys are still in coverage.
Mr Bob TE Cheese 101:
Call run formation (2 or less WR, 2 or more TE, 2 or more RB).
Call pass play that has at least one TE running a streak or post.
At LOS read LBer covering TE, if he is crowding LOS then unleash the dragon. If not then fuck it go deep anyhow!
Use the Steeler's Offensive playbook and run Twins, all day, every day. It's the only reason I'm any good!
C'mon, nobody wants a friendly game so I can keep Batch fresh on my mind?!
