I played online with Madden. The guy used the Feebles and he would manually move Kearse far left of the LT every single freaking play. I was aware of this and fought through it. Madden is the superior game! All hail Madden! By the way, those stats make that game look fairly normal.
The AWS (abused wife syndrome) ESPN NFL 2005 Xbox league! Last time Sega! LAST TIME!

"maybe because i've seen a guy like jevon kearse get 3 sacks in a game, but i have never seen kyle boller rush for 100+ yards in a game? dudes, you can prevent D-line qb pressuring by keeping your RB's in to block, or rolling out (moving the pocket)"
Maybe he would if a DT was beating his man cleanly and flushing him out of the pocket every single play. You never know.

and with the d-line thing, what do you want to have happen? You want to have 5 seconds to throw every down? If you just let the computer rush, that is what you're going to get. Not that I want to lose, but when I play a guy like strahan i want to HAVE to gameplan around him because he's a dominant force. If we're going to force everyone to not use the D-line, we're going to have some HIGH, unrealistic scores in the league.
lol, he may get out of the pocket, but in real life there is no way he would have 15+ yards of free running space with no one in sight to stop him (which is what he has in ESPN)

Obviously I'm full of shit. I complain about everyone I play. I see that now. I'm wrong. Yeah.

You wont notice anyone saying anything about faulk because he is not an everydown back.... more of an all purpose back.. I mix in passing with the rush religiously... thats the only way to get any type of offense going... Faulk has had a couple BIG plays that got him where he is at yardage wisebut in no way would I cheese it... people that I have played can atest to that...... with that said, I still like this league when stats and games are recorded.... I thought aug 7th was supposed to be a download day or something....

bulger was 11 for 28 and was sacked twice.... so thats about 30 passing plays.... trust me, I play a quick game, so i have no problem fitting about 60 plays in my games.... i dont waste time on the play calling screen.... not saying its a good thing... but you will never be able to say that I run it down your throat...
Hurray I am back online..
In other news: CP you cant stop the run for crap, sorry dude. I was able to run all over you, and granted Green is a good player, but I was able to rattle off 6-7 on any given carry. Ask people who have smoked me in this game, if you can shut down my run game, I am in a world of hurt. The D you have chosen sucks wind in real life, so it should be no surprise.. as for people getting to your QB.. audible the HB, FB or both to stand back and block. That will buy you a couple extra seconds.
Dear Sega: Fuck you. Somehow this game managed to fuck up my Xbox Live settings. I dont know how it happened, but it did. Gunstar can attest to the last game we played getting wierd as hell. I though Franks had a first down so I called a ref review (he was short), it showed the replay of it, it showed the animation of the ref talking (no sound) and then the game sat there panning around motionless players for a solid minute until the sound of the ref talking finnaly caught up with us.

lol! gg douche
man that game sucked for me. i knew on the first drive when j.j. lossman (or whatever the bills rookie qb's name is) threw off his back foot on 2nd and 20 and completed it in triple cover that i was in trouble. here are some fun facts about the game:
*rat: 4 ints, 2 returned for TD's
*buffalo had 20 points off turnovers (i believe); i lost by 20
*kbar never got a chance to get going because of the defecit
*my WR's couldn't make the clutch catches in traffic
*my defense played "ok", they kept me in the game to be honest. but they didn't play outstanding
* i was outscored 20-7 in the 4th quarter, which put me away for good
but to be honest it was a fun game. it's good to get your first loss out of the way early! suck it down rest of the league!

You ain't winning next week!
I think I might have jumped the gun about hoping over to Madden. In my anger over ESPN I forgot how crappy Madden feels. No momentum, the plays don't feel right. I playedmy first game of 2k5 yesterday and won, but still wasn't keen on the play mechanics. I think I might have wasted 34 bucks.

I actually had Madden in my hands today when that exact same thought dawned on me. I just don't like the feel of Madden, just like some people apparently don't like ESPN. Either way, I'm glad I saved the dough for something I'll really enjoy. If only there were something the equivalent of the brilliance and excitement of Winning Eleven for American football, I'd be in heaven and that would be worth the price of even the Madden Collector's Pack or whatever it is.

can't we just enjoy both games, ladies?

that's a little more than "not liking the feel as much", but it doesn't really make a difference to me. i'm having a good time with both... but a better time w/ madden
