Also, rules should probably be established for when you can and cannot do a surprise onside kick.

this wasn't a surprise onside kick. i was trailing by 14 with about 2:40 left. just a regular onside kick, the first one i've gotten this year!

and lesson learned DM! you got greedy and had to score that last TD instead of milking the clock out. then i get the long TD, onside kick + TD, pick you off + TD, then another INT + game winning FG!

i wish kapernick was more accurate. let 3 easy TD's just float away because he overthrows people by like 20 yards. ridiculous.

You don't think I would milk the fuck out of that clock in a league game? I would have DMBall'd the shit out of you on that last drive in a legit game!

I read that the surprise onside kick only has like a 30% or less chance of recovery. I've done it maybe 5 times total and only recovered once, soooo it doesn't seem like any sort of rule needing play.

lol i know. lesson learned if you want to reach the TOP of the community! oh wait, you're still ranked #1 even though i have 5 times as many wins as you :(

and that manual pick you got was retarded. ball was overthrown by a couple yards to VD (kapernicks signature move) and you're even further away from it then VD but someone how teleport for the pick!?

My comment was unrelated. As of now there's no rules for when you can attempt an onside kick. Are people allowed to do it to start off the game?

i mean in the community you can do whatever you want obviously. i'll probably have the same rules as years past.... no onsides kicks before the 4th and only if you're losing etc etc. and this should include surprise onsides. we'll see how everyone feels about the surprise onside part though

Onside kicks, surprise or regular should only be allowed in the 4th when you're down big. Common sense I would assume...?

That's bullshit. I've seen the surprise onside kick from many NFL teams on the first kickoff of the game. It's a huge advantage if it works, and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near guaranteed in this game.

Real NFL and Madden NFL are quite the different beast...I mean really?

The game is cheesy enough without us helping it.

Alright, well the Chiefs seem to do it kind of frequently at least.

By the way, are Striker and I the only ones in the pre-season playing with shitty teams?

And no, the overrated beast 9ers aren't shitty!


[edit]I'm gonna start using the Lions or something.

And that doesn't matter, FMT. Gore is amazing and so are your receivers.

yeah they need to adjust the injuries in this game. i don't care that people get injured but i have never had my qb or rb injured. i have had my slot receiver morgan hurt maybe twice in 18 games in community

it matters when kapernick can't hit wide open fucking targets, no matter how good my receivers are

as far as dead island, im loving it but i got it for pc. a lot of people are reporting issues with the pc version though. i'm not having those issues (yet!)

Uh... Jcamp misses 2 yard passes and when he does complete them, my WRs and TEs drop them. It's no fucking contest. Last night, I had 4 receivers with no stat line EXCEPT drops. Plus you don't even have to pass since Gore is untacklable and that OL is super beast mode. Plus, easy button PWilly. :(

GG Big AT.

I won't stand a chance against any team with a decent QB and WR that can do spec catches this year... because the only way to counter them is with some of your own. :| Sweet coverage? No, one handed warp grab, kthx!

i told you holmes, i'll give you alex at a cheap price! he actually has really good short accuracy... see for yourself!

and in defense of tiburon, gore has feasted on the raiders D in all the games he has played them in just like he does in this game! look at these stats from his 2 meetings against the raiders:

2006: 27 rushes, 134 yards
2010: 25 rushes, 149 yards

don't hate!

I didn't mean against me. :p I meant overall. Against you, the Raiders put up good passing numbers. Can't run for shit because of Willis, though.

I think I might have gotten a hint of what causes the "CBs suddenly start moving when the offense audibles" bug during our game. It happened to me while on defense once and I noticed that it occurred when my CBs were lined up in the wrong positions. My #1 CB was where my dime back should be and vice versa. When Rors audibled it caused them to switch and run back to their proper positions. Now it's just a matter of finding out what causes them to line up incorrectly in the first place.

After writing that up, I realized how much I have been forced to play this game with the mindset of a QA tester. Fucking EA...

haha I have to audible every pass play to keep someone in to block and adjust the line for blitzes. T_T Otherwise, I'm instantly sacked. Guess I was helping you at the same time!
