First game of the season, I play mrbob. I'm up in the fourth quarter by 8.

EA servers go down.

We have a rematch later that night. I lose 30something to 13.

Damn, at least when our game dropped I gave you the TD right away. That's fucked up Bob!

He forgets to mention I was about to tie the game when the connection went out. :p I was down to his 15 yard line first down with like 2:30 left. I would have scored I know it with a two point conversion coming so the game was as good as tied! :D I just continued my domination into the replayed game.

Hehe, Malley been busting my chops on AIM and now here. I'll just play the game and we'll see where the chips fall. :D

Ok I got one, having a bit of trouble porting over my Live info though. I have the account renewed through the end of December 05, but I did it on a bank card and I closed that account back in Febuary and cut up my card. So I have no idea with the card # is. Anyone know a way around this?

My brother is in the process of getting the info from his account so we can use his in the meantime so tonight I should be good to go.

Custom soundtracks are my friend :)


Sorry about being late, I jacked up my box and it said I couldn't connect to Xbox Live. So in that moment of panic I thought my Xbox Live account was banned for certain reasons. Well, I jacked it back on and somehow my IP address was configured to manual or something. I changed it back to automatic and low and behold it worked again. So that was the reason for my 5-7 minute lateness. My apologies, and good game btw. I was pretty worried after the first quarter.

Same thing happened to me, call the old credit card company. If they don't help you call Xbox Live customer service and see if they can help you.

Yes, like most of the games, the first quarter is my best. I got lucky with that fumble though.

It was tough to watch Palmer cough that one up, but I had a similar thing happen last week where I was up by two scores in the first quarter and didn't do a darn thing after that. We get a rematch in 4 weeks in the dome so that should be fun. Later.

My goal this season was to get one win, mission accomplished. My new goal as a hardcore madden newb is to win 5 games and send one player to the pro bowl. I owe my new found understanding of this game to Lonestar, he helped me out quite a bit the other day in our practice games. If not for him I would still have pretty much no strategy when it comes to Madden.


I used the import stats feature at Leaguedaddy and it didn't work, not a big deal because I don't think that would save me but a minute or two anyway. Just wanted to know if anyone received an error message while trying to report stats?

What happens if the game goes past one OT with a tie score?

Last seconds of the first OT, I run the clock out on fourth down thinking the game would end. It doesn't, I punt the ball away and he breaks a 43 yard TD run with James to "win". Do we do ties or what?

I'd say tie.

Wait, the score was in regulation? Hmm that sounds wierd.

In the official EA leagues last year, I think in Season 2, DSkillz and I played a triple overtime game and the in-game league software allowed it. I say it went into double OT.

you would say tie, since you're in my divison.

The site lets me pick the number of overtimes, so I can enter two.. It is true that regular season NFL games wouldn't go into another overtime... Dilemma!

I didn't bother much to tackle James on his 43 yard run, thinking the game was over and a winning TD was better than a drop. I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway in a non-ranked game. Oh well.

Drey Drey he's OK! The competition is tight in our division...If only the once-great Ramirez cared as much about Madden this year as he does about WoW, we'd have the most intensest division, like, ever! Plus Drey recorded all of King V's stats (sorry if it timed out V)...I nominate Drey for player of the week! 100% class

:lol Oh Noes! :lol



Edit- GG DJ...I was looking over the stats,man 4 drops by me hurt big time,while you were pulling down catches over double teams,ugh :(

I also should have had that 51 yard fg for the lead,I usually dont miss them without wind,I felt the pressure.

That was a good game Matrix. I thought you had that FG even though it was long. I can tell we are similar players who thrive on running/defense and good special teams, didn't expect to see you miss it. I think watching you take one with the close camera helped me on mine, that camera usually messes me up.

I was somewhat happy that Freddie Jones got hurt, he had some huge drops in the first half and then in the second half he fumbled it out of bounds, he was a ticking time bomb. On top of the huge drop your D couldn't pull in an INT. I thought you had one or two easily.

I didn't realize there was no challenge online. I would have challenged that Rod Gardner catch, although it probably wouldn't have been overturned.

Mr. Bob is the passing guru of the league right now 133.4 QB rating, 560 yards, 5 TD's, and only 1 INT. So right now 2 of the top 3 rated passers in the league live only like 40 minutes from eachother. That just shows how fucking cold Wisconsin is, a little too much free time. :)

so there I was in practice mode running some plays since I hadnt played Madden in days and needed to get a feel for it again before the new weeks starts and I have to play the deadskins. its no secret that my offensive lineman are idiots but now we have undisputable proof. I submit to you exhibit A. crappy quality due to being shot with vid function of photo cam.

its a mis direction play that gave me a wide open left side of the field and as im going around the outside of the left tackle he pushes the guy hes blocking right into my feet knocking me down. Julius Jownsed

Not until EA gives Orton the overall 100 rating he deserves!

You want a little more smack talk? I beat FMT 34-7 in a ranked game with CHAD HUTCHINSON AT QB. WOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA! :D
