The only problem with that is that we can't change a guys position. So the game might force you to carry a ROLB, when you have no real need to but in order to play the game you need to pick up a space taker.

Just get an ROLB. Deal with it.

Also, the Washington Redskins announce the signing of Steve Slaton to a 1 year $1.1 mil contract. He will be competing for the backup spot currently held by Roy Helu behind Cobie Ross, the Redskins' star running back.

Why are roster size an issue ? Season 1 and 2 no one complained .

The raise in the cap is what screwed the offseason and free agents up.

BigAT even mentioned bidding on Gamble becuase he had cap room and no other real targets.

I got guys based on potential injuries. Progression etc.

Hoarding talent strickly for progession seems iffy. im sure teams in the NFL would do it if they could but thats why there is a roster limit of 53

Trade Proposal

AJ Hawk - 85

Brandon Browner - 81

Both are 29, both are buried on the depth chart. Need for need. Both are B potential.

If the council would please vote.

But they also have things like the practice squad and other ways of hiding talent.

Are guys hoarding 60-70 OVR B/C pot players really breaking the league? Of the teams with the 10 largest rosters right now the only ones to make the playoffs last year were Saints, Broncos, 49ers and Buccs. The Saints are the only ones with more than the 55 real life limit.

Browner is actually my number 2 corner. He had a pick yesterday but also got burned on the play that set Splat up for the game winning TD.

53 is the real life limit. and practice squads dont hide talent since any other team can sign off them.

Dont let overall ratings foot you guys. Dallas Strong was a 72 rated player last season who was just as good as Maclin and Jax. There are also alot of 60 rated players who excel in one or two things and can be used in specific situations.

I can't get it to load the Divisonal Playoff game we played, but in 4 regular season games, you have 6 INTs against me and I have 3. What a discrepancy!

Fucking lol.

How many of those ints are by LBs?

You comparing our int numbers is dumb on your part as you are proving everyone's point. You're a terrible passer. Passing with 93 rated Ben to Ward, Wallace, Sanders, and Miller is a hell of a lot easier than passing with what was a 75 rated Dalton to guys that are slow and can barely get open. And Bluemax could tell you, I was one of the worst in the league last season at generating turnovers because my guys can't catch.

I know I've heard that from someone before, but who? This is going to kill me until I get it

Probably from me, and thank you Splat for backing it up. For some reason they never even attempt to intercept the ball, but are content with batting the ball down. Even when I attempt to manual the ball goes right off their hands.

Shouldn't we have a mandated 53-man maximum? I'm not sure if the NFL has a minimum requirement (I guess the only minimum is the salary floor that must be spent under the new CBA), but we really should tighten up this shit.

I believe that 53 is also the minimum in the NFL due to the CBA. The players union wants to make sure as many players as possible are getting paid. Giants were in a position earlier this year where they signed someone to their roster because they were forced to, even though there was no real need for him.

How'd Raji play? Was he the greatest world-beating DT in the history of the known universe as the jackasses who voted no claimed?

He did alright, 1 tackle (I think it was a TFL) in limited snaps. With the addition of Raji, I have begun rotating my DTs depending on the situation now. For those that were complaining about the trade (BOB), I think it's actually only a 3 point difference based on their actual depth chart ratings.

3 were by LBs, two by Foote/Farrior who I always control, so more than likely were user picks, which have nothing to do with the OP cpu Steelers cheese defense. 2 were by CB's and one game is listed as two INTs, but only shows one on the stats sheet, I assume my 5th string CB that I dropped picked that one. So a 3/3 split.

I'm a terrible passer, how was that even a part of the original discussion? In two games last year I did this with Charlie freaking Batch:

Charlie Batch 135.1 28/43 65.1 504 18.0 6/1

Go ahead and pull out your youtube videos, the point is, I still won with a QB that would regularly throw balls 10 yards out of bounds away from the WR, as Trasher could tell you, since we're citing sources and all.

Ben's stats from last season:
111.3 214/329 65.0 3620 16.9 29/16

-4th in QB Rating
-8th in comp. % (from people with a minimum of 50+ attempts)
-5th in yards (despite missing 2 games)
-4th in TDs
-9th in fewest INTs

Guess I should just quit the league I'm so bad.

So, does attempting to make highlights post game in madden cause the same issues as in NCAA? (ie it disconnects you from ea servers and you can't report game results). I got scared off from it in NCAA, but is it fine in Madden?

Kind of like Leinart!

I hope we meet again Sanchez gonna dump on your face. Of course you'll probably receive 1 or 2 fumbles for a little boost but that's to be expected.

Yes we know.

Admit you haven't quit because the game is gifting you wins. Any other Madden iteration you've have been long gone.

The game gifted me a win last night alright...I've already said I enjoy the game this year due to me not having much gaming time anymore, so Madden fits in nicely, in past years I've been addicted to WoW/Halo/single/not a father, etc.

Anyways, I'll let you continue to spew stupid stuff that has absolutely no merit. Anytime I actually try to engage in a convo with you I'm met with 1 word ignoramus answers.

I guess constantly being 2nd best makes a person bitter. :(

Smokey, how many break away runs will you receive? Did you guys know Foster is the only player in the game where breakaway speed actually works? :p

No, but uploading them kind of breaks the EA franchise site.

You have no tangible evidence! There is clear cut evidence of Madden helping you tho ;p

You know how you felt playing against B2k yesterday? That's the experience of playing against the Stealers. Yes the Stealers.

False!

The gov't job I'm trying to get is easily where all the money is!

Well, truth be told, the REAL money was in working for the gov't long enough to get a pension, THEN shifting to private industry. Like our friend Chris Dodd who's in charge of the MPAA now.

Yeah, the people who work for air traffic control in the private sector (little airports, etc.) make like half of what the gov't employees make.
