Ok, umm since I think Ramirez has school or works during the day, I don't think we'll be able to play until Wednesday causing a delay of the league. UNLESS he is on tommorow morning (Tuesday) since my days off are coming up. But yeah, once your in the 4th quarter with 20 seconds left and the EA servers go down, it makes you not want to replay that same game but we have to anyway.

Damn, I was perusing leaguedaddy and I saw my sad stats. Total rushing yards, 177 on 47 carries. As one of the leading rushers since season 2 last year, this is an abomination. Tiki has 118 yards on 29 carries. My only consolation is that my two games were against the Pats and the Skins, not the easiest teams to run on! My offense will regain it's greatest show on turf status from season 2, just you wait!
PS: :lol @ Eli having a 128.6 passer rating.

What's the hold up for these week 2 games? I know Ando doesn't have an Xbox, but what is the excuse for DM and True? Hasn't it been longer than four days since the league advanced the week? It's an extra couple of days' worth of practice for me, but this 'week' has seemed really really long.
I am anxious to lose my game to Azyuma and get it over with.

Wednesday is no good for me, and neither is Thursday night until late (after midnight eastern I'd imagine). Thanks for the PRO-Tip, I think the article is much better with the paragraph breaks. Sometimes you forget these things with informal writing.
ps. If it looks like I'm in no hurry to play you, you're right
But I really can't play tomorrow and Thursday "real" football takes precidence. Gotta watch Stephen Davis play. We'll hammer it out though, no worries.Ok,I'm really getting tired of this game's stupid shit that pops up in like every game I play...People throwing it into 5 of my defenders,no INTs,I throw it into single coverage and it gets picked off...people tackling Ben before the play even starts...average ass WRs like Lavarneous(sp?) Coles absolutely smoking my DBs and people just lobbing it up and getting easy TDs,I'm tired of TE abuse,I get PI calls on me when the play clearly had no chance in hell of being caught by anyone except my defenders,I get a punt catch interference called on me when the guy calls a fair catch,runs away then runs back into my people,etc. etc. etc. -_-

Not really. It's Tuesday now, the league hasn't advanced yet. I can't play tomorrow at any time, and Thursday I'm watching a Panther game. I can play Thursday day or late night, but seeing how Fifty wanted to play after 8 eastern, that time's not good for me on Thursday. Last I checked we had 4 days per game, we'll get it in.
Fifty if you'd rather play Thursday day (if that's possible) that would be fine too, otherwise I'll hit you up after the preseason game.

look, everyone has to put up with bullshit, it's no reason to pout and not report your player stats. you think drey was happy about being up on bob with 2 mins to play only to have the game disconnect and get blown out on the replay? no. you think i was happy about having 5 drops against malley that arguably cost me the game? no.
you knew when you joined the league that you were going to lose and shit like this was going to happen. EVERYONE knew that would happen to them. i'm all for venting and calling bullshit on things, but to not report your player stats and throw a tantrum about it is a joke. i'm not trying to be a dick but if all you're going to do is write a short story every week about how the game has done you wrong and then give the middle finger to those of us who are putting up our player stats (EVEN WHEN WE LOSE! holy shit!) and putting a lot of effort into the league then maybe you should quit now. there are players in the league who are succeeding with lesser teams and are getting worse breaks, and they aren't crying about it.
you've always been a dependable player, but in every madden season that you've started losing you've started in this way. it's pretty easy to shoot the shit and have a good time when you're winning, but you find out a lot about people and how they react when they get their asses handed to them

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.

truelize had family over during the weekend. not sure why they didn't play last night, but i know DM was ready to go.
anyways, i am a kind commissioner, and as such i will advance the league in an hour or so... just as soon as the power rankings and players of the week are done.
dm/truelize, please get your game done asap... or you will make me sad
also, as a side note for those interested, unless ramirez contacts me and gives me reason to believe he's going to be a dependable player under any circumstances, i will be taking over the steelers for the remainder of the year.

I expect you to lose with the Steelers if you face me with them FMT...thanks a bunch.
True aimed me late last night and never responded back,im not sure if he was trying to get a message to me for dm or not...the world will never know! It seems his family got to him right after he got his aim message out to me.

CP, when can you play?
You advance the week, you give out weekly awards, and you adjust the power rankings before the weekly deadline???? How does that work?
I thought the week will only be advanced once all games are played (everyone finishes early) or at the planned deadline.
And like I stated earlier in AIM conversations. I had family over until Tuesday morning. There is no way my wife and her family would appreciate me kicking 15 family members out of my entertainment room and missing my nieces birthday party (which we were hosting) for my Madden game. The game is about to go down in a half hour.

it works because a few people messaged me or pm'ed me stating they could get their week 3 games in tonight, but it would be difficult for them to get it in the next few days. so, i advanced it for the sake of those who had busy schedules in the upcoming days, not to slight you or dm. my apologies chum
also i didn't know when you guys planned on playing. i thought you had told me you were going to play monday (which i could be mistaken about), but then that didn't happen. so i had no idea whether you guys would even play tonight, thus not only not getting your game done but also not giving those who could play tonight the opportunity when the week would be advanced tomorrow without you guys playing anyways (which wasn't the case, but i saw no post in this thread about when, what, where, how, etc)
The Cincinnati Bengals finally get some props! Brian Simmons AFC defensive player of the week. Offensive player of the week for the AFC must have been a pretty close call.
My only question is the power rankings and stat rankings. I'm 22nd in the power rankings, but in stats I'm currently ranked 12th. How are the power rankings determined?
Newsguy,
When can you play our week 3 game? I'm available tonight and tomorrow night.
