rors is actually the best player i've played in madden 09, even with the raiders. but i feel like in madden its risk reward. i can generate a pash rush, but the question is this: will he find the opening before my guy can get in. this is how football SHOULD be. and this is with the niners, i have a pretty bad D line and need to bring a blitz. with a team like the giants you can get pressure with the front 4.

in ncaa, no matter what i do i cant get pressure without absolutely compromising my D. if you want to see that the o-line is broken just run a screenplay for the proof. there is absolutely NO reason to not run a screen play. why? because the pass rush doesn't get to you but you still get all the blockers for your runner. this makes absolutely no sense. a screen is dangerous because of the pass rush. when there is no pass rush, there is no danger and it is a money play. thats what screens are in NCAA and thats why i have yet to run 1 screen in dynasty play.

all of this is just my opinion... but im not the only one! i hope someday you'll join us...

 

[Lonestar]

Nope, not going to happen. Your statements aren't just ABSOLUTES. There are instances where the exact opposite happens from what you say. Screens that get broken up. Pressure get's felt. yada yada yada, this isn't going anywhere.

PS: I'm trying to remember if Dammitttmatt was interested in the league, did you ever get in contact with him? He's banned and can't see any of the online forum.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

of course nothing is absolute. ive seen screens defended, ive seen the qb pressured, ive seen good db play at times. but to say NCAA plays better on the field than madden is absolutely incorrect, and anyone who has played both extensively will agree with that. i still enjoy ncaa, even with its faults, but madden is highly superior (except the online component!)

i dont know about dammittmatt, i thought he had told me he was going to pass on it. not sure though!

We might as well just let whoever wants to walk, walk. No sense in talking someone into playing to only have them drop half way through.

 

[Mrbob]

I've decided I will be staying in. I can't turn my back on the family. Not just yet!

I still have at least one more championship run in me!

People will retire, they will declare they aren't coming back, then the itch will set in, they will want to come back, and end up playing with a team that isn't the one they played with for years.


Sounds familiar. It is almost destiny.

 

[Somnia]

I'm in no matter what...but I want to call Dibs on Cowboys if Shawn leaves

 

[Mrbob]

 

[Somnia]

I win

 

[Mrbob]

Neither one has a Cubs hat on so you don't win! Even though the Cubs hat in the pic above looks photoshopped! :lol

Why go for the Cubs when you can like a real Chicago team like the White Sox?

I suspect your dibs are now granted....

It's been a pleasure my friends, but this is the end of the road for me here. It's been a pleasure playing and getting to know you all over the past couple years, and hopefully I can rejoin the crew again in the future.

Best of luck to you all, and "GO COWBOYS"

Sucks I never got to play ya, but shoot me an invite if you plan to play at all anymore (PSN= Somnia) and we can play sometime. If I am granted the Boys I'll try not to let ya down

 

[Mrbob]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiit.

So if we end up with a custom schedule, I demand Somnia and his crying Cowboys (THATS MY TEAMMATE! THATS MY QUARTERBACK!) on the schedule!

The pics posted in this thread are almost enough to make me buy a PS3.

You want to play, good buddy?

 

[Somnia]

You want to play, good buddy?

Sure let me get my ps3 turned on

Take it easy on me, I am not so good.

Basically is comes down to the fact I can only do 2 leagues at a time right now. I can't drop the NCAA league because that would be messed up to that crew, and I have a championship to defend on the NBA2K side of things. As a result, made the best sense to not join the league I wasn't already started in yet.... even though it's the biggest and most prestigious!

Wellie, please change my tag to something else so I don't get a reminder of what I'm missing out on with every post!

It's one thing to turn this league down for your family...but for NBA 2K? It's still going on? Are there like 5 of you playing?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

you're not playing madden for nba 2k!? holy crap nba 2k9 comes out in like a month or something.

but as ive said so many times before, if you dont want to play you dont want to play

 

[Somnia]

GG Wellie I couldnt get shit going in the first half and got desperate in the 3rd quarter...hence the 3 ints :lol :lol Your d-line and Jacobs are a beast...hopefully that isnt a clue to the real season for me =P

I meant to onside that at the end, but hit the wrong button and was outa time outs heh

It's all good was my first time playing as Dallas actually heh...been playing Bengals since I figured thats who I'd be and Texans on 360 since thats who I was stuck with there...I need to practice with em

 

[Wellington]

The only thing I will mention is that you really just let me keep doing the same things and getting positive results. You were going with spread out D's (I saw a lot of bare three man fronts with LBs obviously out in man coverage). I wasn't trying to milk the clock on you or anything in the first quarter, you just let me run the whole time. It was nice though, I only have four or five passing plays I rely on at the moment, and you kept playing the same zone coverages that left the same seems open.

And don't be fooled by my DLine play. That was probably my best game with Tuck so far. I wish Strahan would have unretired.

 

[Lonestar]

Ok, FMT, as I've been in the league so many years, I'm going to actually put Madden back in and try it out some more, to see if my opinion changes....

I appreciate the feedback. I've pretty much up till this point only played Madden offline so I don't expect to do so hot for awhile I just need to practice more so if anyone ever wants to play shoot me a PM or post on here!

 

[woodchuck]

btw Somnia, i was having trouble with the Dallas 3-4 on defense. it was getting pretty easy to run on.

i switched it to a 4-3:

RE: Ware
DT: Tank
DT: Ratliff
LE: Ellis

LOLB: Bradie James
MLB: Zach
ROLB: Burnett

i felt that was much easier to work with

[Rorschach]

Just me and Bluemax left in the west.

If he was a Seahawks fan and took over for Lone, then it would just be me!

PS: who wants some?! Haven't played someone in months!

 

[Somnia]

Ya that was my first game doing 4-3 and I like it much better...thanks to ck for the suggestion. Ya I was afraid it was going back to you when that flag went up...and there was lag =(

edit: note to any other raiders players...McFadden is one hell of a receiver :lol

Haha he got all of his yards on two plays. The heave over the middle where he was left alone and that route to the right.

Barber tried to show off with that one handed catch in the flats.
