lulz bigat has beaten me like 2 times in a row and he has my number now? we'll see!
and i'm not a good manual defender but you guys will see what i'm talking about in NCAA. it's a very sluggish feel at times because of the momentum. that is fine except it doesn't really apply to a computer controlled receiver. the other issue is that (unlike madden) they've basically completely removed suction tackling. people asked for it and its kind of a "be careful what you wish for" situation because now unless you line the guy up perfectly your defender will just miss the tackle. QB is a foot away from you? you won't sack him or even attempt the tackle unless you basically run right into him
i'm sure we'll get used to it but it just feels difficult to play manual D this year. and DL play isn't banned

anyone around to play?
Wellington
BAAAALLLINNN'
LOL
what.
did you even watch basketball last year? or are you just going off names. 2 of those 4 are not what you think they are
if he meant 2k he would have mentioned JR Smith. also if we are going off 2k than 3 of the 4 are worthless instead of just 2

lulz maryland WR's are fucking awful
that was pretty comical
did you enjoy those laser precision throws
also love how the qb for maryland was just shrugging off LBs like it was nothing

the one in the left corner on 3rd down was nice (the first TD). one of the other ones my CB glitched out again and just stopped covering. hope they patch that!
p.s. yeah the "qb shrug" move needs to be nerfed a bit too. i've seen that happen in most of the games i've played. i guess i could understand if i was pushing the right stick to avoid, but i'm not even pushing the right stick and he still shrugs off the sacks!
i saved that first one you are talking about for upload. couldn't really find an angle to show how nice of a throw it was though.

that PA was wide open but i didn't bite on anything. it was a zone defense and i stayed in my zone for the nickle CB i was controlling. where you threw it there SHOULD HAVE been my safety. i have no idea why he didn't rotate but this illustrates my main issue with zone defense: i can't really trust it :/
and lets just say i have no sympathy for any of your drops after that game with BC!
this true the two big passing plays you scored on i was in zone. one of them u just got behind the safeties and was a good play. the other one my guy was in the area and didn't make a play on the ball.
i wonder if that "adjustment" setting will fix some of the zone issues

i've messed around with the adjustments, they don't really fix anything. it just dictates if your zone is shorter or deeper. i wonder if it has something to do with the "alignment" feature (Press Y + left i think). i know when i'm in man defense and do this with a blitz is changes assignments for people on the fly, which is why i've been caught with people wide open because i look once and i'm covering the RB, i align, and then it changes me to covering the TE and i didn't check it again
I've been wanting to say something like that but I was worried I'd get banned. What's weird is the guy that made the newest one is the same guy that talked the other dude out of doing it by calling his mom. I don't get it

haven't seen any of the threads but i implore all league members, stay out of those threads lest the mods send you away!
Trust me, there's a reason why I only said something about it in here. I'm well aware of the reception/wrath this sentiment would receive anywhere else.
I remember him. he's been through rehab before
didn't he used to be in the Madden Leagues. Think it's MaestroRyan.
Maybe they're legitimately depressed?
it is
Sounds like a normal night for Vidako.
in all serious i have no doubts maestro is being genuine about it all
legit lol when I saw the fake.
my guys were so open too
problem was i had three guys on top of me as i was mashing A right away lol

hey bros, how's NCAA? Should be in my mailbox when I get home tomorrow, but my life sucks these days so I don't know when I can play it
Massive article on the history of the Air Raid Offense
Not sure if LJ can see this topic, or is ever coming back (is he?) but it's a long read on passing concepts.

I hear Livewire has that problem.
Also if any of you guys wanna join my nWo takeover of the NHL Be a Pro league, that would be cool. We have a couple folks and if we get enough we can have some real competitions with the other guys. I know we have a few NHL players in this league.
I dont know a ton about ice soccer but that mode seems worth it

id prefer fifa too but with how many players are on the field at one time, it makes it too tough. 5 with 1 goalie in a rink is way more conducive to be a pro
