Is there any sort of explanation on how the salary cap works on League Manager? I couldn't really find one on their website.

"QBs tend to have a lot of success scrambling but this is just the case when darting out of the pocket rather than running outside the tackles. From what I’ve noticed linebackers especially seem slow to react to this (almost as though they hesitate) and QBs often have a lot of daylight because of it." - pasta padre

There seems to be less in the way of leaping linebackers knocking passes away or stealing the ball out of the air which is a relief, but it can still sometimes be difficult to get a pass with the proper velocity over defenders who are underneath.

I'm very interested in using League Manager this year just because it gets us closer to what a full online franchise should be like. It just sucks that it has to be an affiliate site and not in the game.

I've been against it a little bit, but now I think it might be best this way. Tiburon would find some way to fuck it up. These guys seem to be way more responsive to fan input.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

it's worth it for the draft options, rather than having to get everyone together at once.

My guys were constantly in the backfield against the CPU Raiders and Jason Campbell missed some fairly easy throws =\. Defense is still pretty stout though.

I knew yall couldn't resist.

Just finished my first online match against the Bears. Game is feelin good. Especially loving the run game. Need to keep playing to break the NCAA mental tendencies. Started getting a good feel for how it plays in this last game.

One thing though...I can see that jump catches are going to be an issue this year.

Meh. Madden from Amazon price matched down to $45 is essentially Madden at $25. It doesn't bother me!

How'd it get to 45$ for you? Did you have some prior amazon credit? Just making sure I'm not missing 20$ credit and some type of promotion.

Look at you all scrambling try to justify throwing away 25 dollars.
Click to expand...

nah, it is a complete waste of money but i'm just an impatient person and $25 isn't going to put me in the poor house (well, i paid $15 thanks to toys r us)

Football's been gone for so long. Hard to resist knowing that it's out and you can get it if you really want.

Also if you can't pay $25, that just means you're poor

The feel of playing football overrides anything I have against EA so I want it now!

I can't say the same thing for MLB 2k series anymore. That company can go gtfo of gaming industry. They are both the same exact company though.

I don't want to be in the same league as you weak minded, shortsighted fools. I'm starting a new league! As big as the PS3 league! Nay! TWO PS3 leagues put together!

[edit] What's this pricematch I hear? Where is it 25 bux?

[edit2]That bottom guy looks goofy, but he's a fucking genius. He's gonna make millions. T_T

I liked getting everyone together to talk trash. It's a miracle we managed to do it for multiple drafts, but it was fun.

hey! i never said i was proud of it! but $15 (which is what i spent for this) is worth less than the 2 hours it would have taken me to drive to gardena tomorrow to get the game (which i was going to do). don't hate!

I'd threaten to run up the score on you, but we both know I can't do that. :|

I can run it up on DM, though! You son of a bitch! If Freeman was injurable, I'd do it!

That's Crabbles. DHB was at home because he wasn't supposed to be drafted in the first round.

Ah. Let me revise that statement then.

i love Crabtree's look like he just robbed the 49ers (Which he did, basically.)
