andy you quit because you lost? lol, come on dude. take a look at the play by play! all you had to do was kick that FG on your first drive to guarantee overtime at the end, but you gambled and it didn't work so you lost. i'll give the team to ramirez, but quitting is weak dude. i understand people want to vent and talk about how fucked up the AI is, but dont quit the league just cause you're pissed over a loss. i didn't quit after i lost to you and i guarantee there was more bullshit in that game against me than in the game you just had. man up and take your loss, don't quit the league!

That game was a mess. I haven't played ESPN in good while and total forgot everything but what killed me were the Stunts you ran all game, I didn't even have time to throw a quick slant but that may have been because of the lag too. At least the game finally updated.
some examples of things I think may have pushed him over the edge....
on that goal line play I think it was third down and he felt like his RB got in the end zone and challenged it but it wasnt overturned. I never saw the full replay so I dunno if it was a good call or not. on the 4th down play he threw a pass and his guy for the most part was wide open but the ball was thrown behind him. on the very next play from the 1 inch line I threw a quick pass to a streaking Keyshawn for 42 yards.
I saw a couple easy passes dropped by his recievers and on one of his catches deep in my territory his WR coughed up the ball. I think he challenged another play somewhere in the game that he lost.
on his last drive after he picked up some scary yards and was threatening to break into FG range I went to Dime cover 12 (think thats what its called) and spread my D line before the snap and my D linemen got 4 straight sacks to end his drive.
I would have been pissed too but I didnt see anything that prevented this from being a competitive game.

I'm not going to say I enjoy the game as much as Madden, but to me it's the same shit after a loss. If I don't feel it was my fault for losing the game I will get mad regardless of the game. Any given Sunday though, no sense in quitting because of it. I'll readily admit that the game I beat FMT in was bullshit. There's no way that Tiki Barber could have done the shit he did in real life that he did in that game, but you don't see him quitting. Well, at least through this we'll know who we can count on when the Madden league starts.
I can play tomorrow after 9 PM EDT or Tuesday, Fifty. Winner is poised to grab first place, may the best man win.
I'm figuring out how to play this game more and more, and I've caught a lot of lucky breaks. I basically need them to stay afloat with a team like the G-Men.

couldn't have put it better than CK did
there are a shit load of problems in this game, but why keep harping on it? we all know there is a lot of misfortune in any given game for whatever team, but lets just have fun, bitch when we lose (who doesn't? i bitch when i lose in madden), enjoy when we win, and not quit the league because you lose a game you thought you should have won

it will go through, don't worry. somtimes it takes a while to show up on the website
Regardless of your opinion on how many "problems" the game has, the reason for anyone quitting is a loss or losses. Or do you think we'll see anyone in playoff contention quit? lol
You shouldn't give up so quickly, Andy
PS: Holy crap, the Cards blew out the Steelers. Good shit, Duce! I have a chance to move up in the standings next week

Well yeah, if the problems cause bullshit losses, it's expected they wouldn't want to lose anymore.
If I'm in playogg contention, and I lost a game because my DB literally just stood and watch a WR torch him, I'd fucking light the game on fire. My record indicates that I am playing well enough to win, and then I would get fucked because of something I had no control over. It's natural to want to quit after a loss. I'm just rollin with the punches here.

konex there is a difference between losing because you had a stupid turnover or got burned cause you called a blitz (i'd be pissed as hell anyways)...
... and losing when you call the correct game, but the loss is out of your hands and your team does some retarded "no defense" shit that costs you the game. again, i would be pissed as hell, but a different kind of pissed. do you see what i'm saying? this is not JUST about wins and losses. it's the types of losses and the reason for them

Give me one example where the 2 folks who quit (Palsy and Andy) or Matrix (who was on the verge of quitting) lost games not because the other player was better that day but because of "some retarded no defense shit"....
Again, I'm not trying get into whether the game sucks or not. All I pointed out was that the folks who will quit, will do so because they don't like losing. I'm still waiting to see someone quit/threaten to quit after a win....

this is in regards to people complaining about losses or whatever. if people lose legit, they're going to be pissed, but not bitching at the AI. when people lose because of joke AI, they complain about joke AI
I'm talking about folks who end up quitting. Show me where any of them lost cos of "joke AI". My point still stands, dude. Anyone who will quit in the middle of a season just doesn't like losing and there's nothing wrong with that.
You can tell me I'm wrong when someone who is winning quits the league because of the AI. Or shouldn't "bad AI" piss folks off, win or lose?

Well I'd love to show you my own losses due to the stupid AI, but 1) Can't save the replays 2) Can't upload them to you.
You know exactly what we mean and you're just playing semantics on us. The people who are winning have to have caught some lucky breaks along the way. As I said, those runs against FMT in week 3 when Barber ran for like 243 yards were by and large bullshit. Last week against MalleyMal, his guys dropped some wide open passes that would have easily been touch downs and kept the game close. Against Duce, his LBs were just retarded against Shockey and they allowed me to get the come back win.
While I sit there and play I tell the other player to actively challenge play calls if it's a first and their guy was called down before the line even though he crossed it, or if the guy was ruled out of bounds when he really wasn't. It sucks that I have to help out my opponent, but that's what it comes down to.

No, I don't know what you mean and I'm not playing semantics. If the AI was so bad and all it takes to win is lucky breaks, I don't see why anyone would keep playing. The fact is, NO ONE is quitting over the "bad AI" when they are winning. So either it's all about losing or....
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOSING!!!
