To be clear, I wasn't saying you're a shitty player. I'm just saying...you have a low tier team with a crappy Oline and Wellie has a great team with a monster dline. It's basic math!

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

I sent him an aim message yesterday letting him know the league is up and to get the Browns to sign up. I'm not sure if either of them are home, though.

There is also and important announcement about cameras in the front page.

If you have any questions, let us know. Also, what where the Dolphins you said were missing from the roster? I could add them right now.

keep your strippers out of my American football
10-17 4th quarter, 1:54 left in the game. Cards are losing.

Been an okay game so far. Cards lines are terrible, yes both of them.

I see why I stopped playing in these leagues though.

Did you guys see this review of Madden 09?

http://forums.easports.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=425807&tstart=0

Some highlights:

LOS LIMIT
The line of scrimmage (LOS) limit is useless during gameplay. The quarterback can scramble from the backfield while being pressured, pass the line of scrimmage and complete a pass to his receiver without any penalty. More devastating to the defense is this: the defensive back (DB) breaks coverage and leave the receiver wide open, causing the QB to complete a deep pass.

To combat this glitch, Senior Designer Cummings states: “We addressed this by making sure the DB will no longer break on the ball when the QB crosses the line while throwing.”

This means that the QB crossing the line of scrimmage (even though it is a violation/penalty) will remain in the gameplay, while the defensive back stay with his man and not break coverage.

^^^ Anyone that does this in our league should be drawn and quartered.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
By definition, artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer to execute functions that usually require human intelligence. No one expects the AI to be perfect, because humans are not perfect. However, people don’t expect AI to lack the intelligence of common sense, and that’s what they lack in this latest installment. They don’t block nor do they care to block; they stand around and investigate the scene as if they are FBI agents; they miss easy interceptions by not putting up their hands, and more. These unresponsive issues are a headache. The user can only control one player at a time instead of his entire team, so he expects computer backup. Sometimes they act on impulse, and most of the time they don’t. When the latter occurs, it is simply a mess.

For example, when a RB play is called, an offensive lineman (OL) could be directly in front of him as he runs and for some strange reason, the OL moves out the way and just stands there, leaving his own teammate defenseless while defenders are converging. Why would an OL abandon a block and simply stand there or aid another OL hold off a defender that is irrelevant to the play, allowing his RB to be tackled? This lack of common sense is mind-boggling, and would never happen in a real life football game. This is not AI; this is what I call PD, Pure Dumbness.

In Madden NFL 04 and 05, EA added a great feature that allowed anyone running with the ball to facilitate a lead block by pointing his hand, which was great for RBs (unlike the pointless OL Lead Blocking feature). Strangely, this feature was gone in the later installment. This is what EA is known for; developers put a feature in one year and it vanishes the following year.

The AI flaws occur in every aspect of the game. For example, on offense, a WR could be the intended target and when the ball is in the air, he doesn’t even try to catch it. He doesn’t even react to the ball. Many times, the ball hits him directly in the back. Every WR knows that when the ball is in the air, he needs to react and attempt to catch it, or knock it down if the defender is in position for an interception. Therefore, why is this realism not in the game?

Another case in point occurs on defense when the DB has a clear-cut interception and doesn’t even put his hands up to catch the ball. Because of such stupidity and lack of common sense, the ball hits him directly in the face or chest. This is what gets one’s veins boiling. At least attempt to catch the ball. If things like these occurred in the NFL with a WR or DB, he would get a tongue- lashing from his coaches and probably released the following week.

EA claims to have enhanced the AI yearly, but it is slim at best because there’s really no headway. In truth, the AI in Madden has been stuck on pure dumbness for years (even when the AI slider is at its max) and it continues in the latest installment – and developers at EA haven’t done anything to address the problem which is sad.

OUT-OF- BOUNDS COMPLETION
Having one foot inbounds or out- of-bounds in the game is irrelevant. A QB can throw a pass to a WR and rather it being an incomplete pass, it is considered a completed catch. One foot in and one foot out is an incomplete catch, but the game does not recognize that concept. (The same nonsense occurs in Madden NFL 08.) At times, a WR can be completely out-of-bounds, come inbounds and catch the ball, and it’s completed.

One would think the Challenge Play feature would aid this problem by reversing the call, but it too seems to be broken. When an out-of-bounds catch is challenged, it fails to catch that the play was indeed incomplete and does not change the bad call. It happens all the time and nothing can be done about this glitch. What's the point of the Challenge Play feature when such fundamental concept is not recognized?

So he wants EA to add a 2nd right stick to PS3 and 360?
