Official Xbox 360 Madden '12 Online Franchise Thread OT2 Mr Peyton Goes To Washington
- Thread starter LiveWire
- Start date
Finished ME1 last night and it was as great as I remembered it. Probably not going to replay ME2, just starting ME3 tonight.
Edit: Mastershake should keep using the Browns in the playoffs. Not because I think he's an easier opponent, I haven't played him either, but because he's been in the league longer and actually won in the playoffs.

I'd like to think i helped you become the madden player you are today
DCX
Nah man, I'm still garbo, but I finally feel like my game is improving. At least towards the tail end of this last season. I guess we will see next season.
You, Wellie, FMT, and Luke have all helped me out with shit. Oh and shout outs to bluemax too for helping me with some roster issues I didn't realize I had!
Not to mention, I also get to play Luke, Smokey, and Fr33nix multiple times each year, so that helps a ton.
I think you took anything negative I said in the wrong way dude. The only person I actually put down is Sanjuro!
I only won 3 games in season 1 of this franchise so I'm not really in a spot to mock anyone.
It's all good man... just fuckin with you a bit
I had to after your "lulz why would people need to go for it on 4th against the jags? Don't they always get blown out?" - paraphrasing of course
Doesn't look like much? Think again! I'm not even on the radar in the league so I take any slight, no matter how small, and it goes on the whiteboard!
I finished ME1 on Sunday and I agree... every bit as great as I remember. The game is certainly flawed in parts but the good so far outweighs the bad its not even an issue for me. Talking to sovereign and the Prothean VI Virgil were about as good as it gets. The story is amazing
As for me staying as the Browns... I'll keep playing them if the Shadow council okays it. Me and Crow have never played but he can scout me if he wants so it's not like I am a complete unknown.

Yes, I had completely forgotten about that scene and the Reapers are great. Even the Mako gameplay wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to but it probably helped that I didn't use it anymore than I had to. I hope that the best ending in ME3 is about the Reapers barely losing. We all know they won't win but Shepard shouldn't find some "hidden" weakness that allows them to take out the Reapers easily.
I hope Shepherd grows wings and becomes some kind of deity and smites the reapers with prayer
Shepherd is Tebow?

After the whole right trigger to Renegade in ME2 I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
You can't give a guy a team then take it away from him because we let the Browns make it into the playoffs.
If the Patriots get Wallace I'm going to be seriously ill.
From what I've heard that's better than the actual ending. Its almost Halo levels of Space Jesus stupidity.
Did he even play a single game in the regular season?
What has Bioware become?
Maybe you guys will get the Pierre Garcon consolation prize!
lol
Luke, are you getting Crusader Kings? Do it, man. Swim in the deep end of the pool.

Why do people hate mass effect 2? I'm a couple hours in and it's really good
...they dont?
the 1% were mad that it shifted more to an action game. Normal people were fine with it
I don't hate it, ME2 is a good game, but it's just not want I wanted from a sequel. I wanted more RPG elements not less.
Because there isn't a lot of story. The pretty much amounts to:
Shepard is dead.
Shitty planet scanning mini game.
Shepard is not dead.
Shitty planet scanning mini game.
Shepard recruits the Magnificent Seven.
Shitty planet scanning mini game.
Suicide Mission.
Shitty planet scanning mini game.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Yeah Bioware's solution to all the bad design elements from ME1 was to just remove them in ME2.

He clinched the wildcard spot for them in the 2 games he played and is taking them over for next season. Imo only Striker has more of a claim to them. Sorry but Shake blew his chance at making the playoffs, just like I did.
I was under the impression that DCX or another sub did that but if it was him then he should play. Sorry mastershake, maybe we'll play next season.
I might grab it next week when I'm back
More focus on action, and less focus on being an rpg. The characters were ok, and the illusive man brought something to the table, but i thought the overall story kind of sucked. Too much of a retread, go find a new crew again to prepare for the final battle!

Oh, I was under the impression that the news browns owner didn't play a single game yet. If he finished out the season he deserves to continue to play them in the playoffs.
My bad, new guy... I wasn't trying to steal your team!

...what was the point of that then?
Because they lie to themselves to believe it's a vastly superior game.

Of course he'd pick the jags owner over you.
Easiest path
Some would disagree lol

gg AT, I couldn't get anything going on offense. I wish the rules would have let me go for that 4th and 3 though :-/
Pretty sweet game though, nice tying score on 4th down, nice stop on me on offense, I have no goddamn idea why I threw that ball, I saw you all over it
4th down rules are subjective. you should've went for it

GG. I felt like I was playing well in the game aside from two really stupid passes (the first one especially) that basically gave you 14 points straight up. I did feel pretty decent that I was still in the game despite forcing 0 turnovers and being -4 on TO differential. Thankfully I managed to get my first one when it mattered. That was indeed a bad pass, but I would like to think the blitz I called forced it. You would have taken a really bad sack if you didn't get rid of it. Elite with a big 20 yard scramble to set up the game winning field goal.
It was weird going into a game not knowing my opponent's tendencies. I can't remember the last time that happened, let alone in a playoff game. You did a great job with Cooper Fitzgerald, tons of pressure all game. You got a sack on me almost instantly once on a 3-step drop that wasn't even a blitz. Best rookie DT in the league (shots fired Bob).

I made it twice and ask Wellie and CB how it went.
2-2
Beat Wellie in OT, and CB by one TD or so. I went on to lose to At and his cheeseball Packers and i think Levious/Somnia and the Cowboys, who took over for that L Running dude.

the 1-5-5 era didn't last an entire season. i started 4-1 losing to Wellie first game of that season and Dm and Rors in back to back weeks exposed it with tosses and screens all game.
Q beat me for the first time ever that season with 14 tosses and like 4-6 in a row in one drive.
The experiment died and i made trades for DEs that off season. Robert Mathis and Osi i believe.
1-5-5 never made it to the playoffs. Nice try though.

a shell of what it was, or the beginnings of what it became. I remember trying it out late one season and trying to make it my base for the next season and failing by game 6,7 when people prolly went to the lab.
After that i ran some instances of it in certain situations. Still do to this day but these days i run a hybrid 3-4,4-3 and 4-6 at times.

There's only one defensive philosophy to follow, whether you guys think I'm exploiting the game or not (protip - I'm not):
I do remember being that first guy to beat you that year with the 1-5-5, but I don't remember how I did it. I think I focused on heavy running and didn't toss as much (because I still don't get how tosses would beat it. The formation is based on getting speed on the field)
One shortcoming of Madden IMO is an overall fatigue factor or a morale meter. I always like it for my team to just be able to beat the shit out of the other on both sides of the ball. It should mean something as the game goes on, but Madden doesn't account for it. That playoff game where Plaxico ate up Al Harris comes to mind. God that was glorious.
