This game makes me so mad. I get no breaks at all.

I have 3 attempts at 3rd and inches and not only can I not pound one through to get a first down I lose yards on every attempt. I watch Matrix's players skyrocket through the air to catch heavily defended passes time and time again. Heck I even batted one into his hands. His TE was about 3-5 yards away from the ball and my SS jumps up to deflect/intercept the pass and it bounces off his hands right into the waiting TE (that is in the air no less. Real sim like. Happens all the time).
In the 4th quarter Vick, Deangelo Hall and Brady Smith my DE all get hurt. ALL OF THEM. How does Vick get knocked out of every freakin game?? I sack Favre 7 times and he stays in the game. I get sacked 3 times and Vick is gone. I lose him every second game it seems.

I have no luck. I can't forsee another win this season at all. At least I'll get to play as the Falcons next season.

Id say GG,but I'm not sure you would except it.You had bad breaks,we all do,I had horrible breaks against DJ Tet,but you just get used to it and move on to your next game.I will admit it sucks you keep losing Vick,that reminds me of Fifty last year losing Manning a ton when he played with the Colts.

One thing that sorta ticked me off,but in the long run I dont care cause its just a game in a long season,you said on aim I jetpacked 4 times in a row with my TE....I had a total of two passes caught with my TE the whole game and you knocked him out of the game in the 3rd I believe,Im not sure what you were seeing or saw.

Still Gg and could have turned out different if Vick didnt get hurt or if you had made one or two of those 3rd and inchs.Like ive said earlier in this thread,sometimes my D is on like crazy and sometimes its just pathetic,like it was against DJ tet,giving up double team TD's and dropping sure fire ints.

Ive learned throwing the ball near the goal line is almost never worth it

Edit: I think slo has come the closest to stopping LT. Besides 1 long run he had me pretty much stopped at 130 yards.

Also, looks like all games have been played.

I had him! If it wasn't for that 1 78 yard run....

As TheDuce22 would say: "He was contained" to 129 yards and a 6.8 yard average. :D

Yeah I know. If you see one jetpack sometimes the anger multiplies it by 10. Game just sucked for me. Period. Same as the game I just finished with FMT.
I gave up an INT and a fumble in the 1st quarter and was dead from there on out. Once again I have a game where my offensive stats are better than my oppenants and I get killed.
5 dropped passes. One to Crumpler when he was wide open in the middle on the field just standing there. Just plain ridiculous.
Truelize am cry.... a lot.

I use the default because they do not run a 4-3 in real life,why would I want to use something that they do not use? hehe

Perhaps it isn't admirable,but I didn't find the playstyle that was being used on me to be admirable either,but whatever floats your boat :p And Bob,Im not overreacting or mad or anything,I just made the suggestion that I would love to continue,but I just don't care about stats,it's pointless to me and waste of time.
Click to expand...

Lets see... You refuse to use a different playbook because the Steelers don't run 4-3 in real life? Wow, you're a real stickler for realism and being sim. So why won't you enter stats again? Are stats too unrealistic for you? The excuses never end with you. Somebody call Ramirez a Waaaaambulance!





Ramirez must be an impressionable youth belonging to the Steelers Kids Club. If Hines and Tommy Gun jumped off a cliff would you do it to?

Wait, what? Is that even possible? If so, I object to some people turning the cone off while others are forced to use it.

I didn't like what I saw about our game tonight Cold. :( LT had 20 carries for 300 yards and 3 TDs, Drew Brees went 13-15 with 2 TDs and 218 yards. :( Final score: 38-2. Chargers. The two points I got were from a safety. I punted for the 7th time in the game and you didn't want to embarass me anymore, so you just downed it at the 5. You then ran backwards with Brees through the endzone for the safety so that I wouldn't kill myself after such a devastating loss. :( GG. :(

My kicker Special Teams player of the week! :D I am LOVIN' the upgrade from my Kicker last year who could barely hit a 45 yard FG. I bet I could knock down a 60 yarder with wind behind me. :D

He better be playng with it on,Fmt said everyone must play with it on in season one.Shit if I could play with it off my passing game would be ten times better.If he even played one with it on,that game should be replayed.

What's the problem with the TE getting a lot of catches? He's open, i'm going to pass him the ball. With the colts everyone plays tight d on my WR. I really don't see the big deal.

IMO, there's nothing really wrong with it. It's just not really the way NFL games are played. If anything it's a flaw in Madden's pass coverage that the TE is open so often. If the TE was open more often then the receivers in the real NFL, more teams would milk the TE (apart from the Chiefs).

Exactly.. It's not cheese, because you can definitely play the defense differently to stop the TE. The reason it works is that everyone is so concerned about a long gain by the WR that they leave single coverage on the TE.

I think the main problem is that the LB's are such horrible defenders in this game.

I get blitzed all fucking day. Add to that the fact that Moss gets tripple coverage and my TE is wide open. It's not just the offense that is at fault. If you're gonna leave that side wide open, I'm throwing right away. Especially if I have 2 defenders in my face.

Not only that, but a lot of times it's the TE that finds the hole in the cover 2/3. Again, the TE's aren't nearly as ridiculous as they were last year, they are quite easy to stop if you want to. The only thing that should be a problem is the jetpacking.
